#monsterdon

The little plastic snakes are HILARIOUS

#Monsterdon

Sword versus candelabra is a famously even match. #monsterdon

GodDAMN he's getting close to Peter Cushing's head with that candelabra!! 😬

#Monsterdon

could've done a better makeup job on the gorgon. very low effort there

#monsterdon

The cops never gave me 5 minutes to get dressed.

#monsterdon

her hair snakes are so BOINGY

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

I'm guessing they're going for a connection between the moon's association with women and the fact that Gorgons are female monsters. Like, it's about the power of untamed female sexuality in a patriarchal society. Or I'm reaching for something that isn't there.

#monsterdon

DIDN'T BRING A SWORD TO A COAT RACK FIGHT!

#monsterdon

Movie.

Mo. Vie.

Show. us. the. monster.

I'm begging you.

#monsterdon

Look at that. He brought a sword to a candlestick fight. How quaint.

#Monsterdon

They have more full moons out in the German countryside. It's a side effect of all the silver mining. #monsterdon

I can't imagine getting slapped by Christopher Lee and not having your head explode into a cloud of blood

#Monsterdon

They're going to have to scare up another woman and send her after Carla to have a conversation if they have any hope of passing the #Bechdel test.

It's not looking good.

#monsterdon

@Taweret If this were directed by the Aztec Mummy director we'd have 25 minutes of someone telling us backstory #monsterdon

I do wanna ride in a carriage through the spooky woods tho

#monsterdon

@Lazarou I feel like if you got slapped by Christopher Lee you'd wake up in the Skyrim opening. #Monsterdon

The police arrest Christopher Lee for all those erotic etchings...

#monsterdon

ooh slap!! #Monsterdon Will Smith could never!!

There's 7 minutes left in this film, and I feel like that's not enough time to resolve anything.

Classic #Monsterdon.

@whknott ahhh, thought so #monsterdon

all you had to do was have people in a place and they get turned to stone one by one while someone figures out that a gorgon did it and then goes after the gorgon

there didn't need to be any rummaging through paperwork involved at all

#monsterdon

When people get in the way the soldiers can poke them into submission with their helmets

#Monsterdon

We should make bastard cops wear ridiculous looking helmets again that would be great #Monsterdon

Is that warrant signed by a judge? Or is it an ICE warrant? #monsterdon

"My name is Meister. Mister Meister." #Monsterdon

This is probably the least insufferable Janeway holonovel #monsterdon #thegorgon

@CactuarJoe same

#monsterdon

The full moon happens every other night in this town

#Monsterdon

Ooh, so there's some werewolfism mixed in here, why not

#Monsterdon

Can Carla make you rock hard in specific places or does it have to be your whole body?

I have some ideas for a new low-budget film...

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Yessss, a white-knuckle monologue at the last minute!! Pulse pounding excitement!! TALK, TALK, TALK, TALK

_in the background_ hisssssss

wait are they doing a typhoid mary parallel here?

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

jesus chirst you could pick that lock with a chisel

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

I hope Paul brought a mirror with him to meet his new girlfriend.

#monsterdon

It’s dangerous to go alone. Here, take me.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1964

Godzilla vs Magaera #monsterdon

You walk in and find her sitting there on a golden throne like that, and the only question you have is "why did you want to meet here?"
#monsterdon

Girlfriend is a gorgon
I know, I know its serious 🎵

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

Oh, sorry. Carla has another blouse for work.

#monsterdon

@allanb @log Fortunately they're on buy one get one free

#Monsterdon

@diazona imagine living somewhere confusing like that! #monsterdon

wat is it? a democratic state or a police state? #monsterdon

"What's she like?"
"Very beautiful."
"Are you familiar with any of her personality traits?"
"What does that have to do with it?"

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

Why is that brain so tiny? #monsterdon

"You suspect somebody."

"Carla, there's only one statuesque woman in a gigantic red wig in this town. It's not a difficult deduction."

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

@Lazarou I was revolted by his trickling water over his hands and then wiping them casually on a rotating towel after handling a bloody *human brain*, now THAT's horror! #Monsterdon #TheGorgon

It’s Lord Summerisle

#thegorgon #monsterdon #TheWickerMan

Any time Christopher Lee says something like "you look like you've been buried in your grave and dug your way out" I just presume that's a thing Christopher Lee did

#monsterdon

@log @allanb brb getting a PhD in gorgonology

#Monsterdon

The last time Christopher Lee was in this part of Europe he murdered 50 nazis

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

Single man with all his dirty etching strewn around, sleeps in a racing carriage bed no doubt....

#monsterdon

Drink if a character says “good day” twice to get rid of someone. Chug if the second time is “I said, good day!” #Monsterdon

The real monster here is bad boundaries #Monsterdon

You'd think he'd be a bit jumpy when random women showed up in his courtyard.

#monsterdon

They bury 'em pretty shallow over there in the old country all full of monsters marauding about. #monsterdon

Mad woman werewolf would certainly make this movie more entertaining.

#monsterdon

@forestine “There’s a full moon tonight…” #Monsterdon

What if you could be inoculated against gorgon sight? Like, if you see her reflection a few times then you develop a tolerance for seeing the real thing without turning to stone

But then we might actually have a plot and that just wouldn't do

#Monsterdon

DONT. LOOK UP. WHEN YOU HEAR A WOMANS VOICE. IN. THE MAUSOLEUM. have you learned nothing #monsterdon

So, does the stone corpse weight as much as it did in life? Awfully weak stone, then.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1964

You have failed! You do not get the appreciation of this city. Good day, sir!

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1964

@Ayyyydrew The only horror stories that I have ever seen get moon phases, star locations, etc correct were written by HPL.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

Character 1: Describe this thing to me.

Character 2: It was horrible. Does that help?

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1964

I said good day!

#monsterdon

"I SAID GOOD DAY!"

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

I want someone to say, "We need concrete answers to this"

#Monsterdon

Ruh roh! Sneaky Gorgon reflecting in the pond….
#Monsterdon

Dropping ‘gorgonized’ in casual conversation at next opportunity #Monsterdon

@randy_s "come see my etchings darlin'...." #monsterdon

So - the mad woman in the cell? Red herring? Cushing's girlfriend? What do we think?

#monsterdon

Attack of the Hammond Organs!

#monsterdon

So apparently Medusa does exist in this universe but has better things to do with herself then gorgonizing this particular town

#Monsterdon

snek 🐍 🐍 🐍

#Monsterdon

Slapstick comedy rain, GO

#Monsterdon

3hrs is the most in Petrifcation
So be wise -- Gorgonize!

#monsterdon

@kcarr2015 What are your feelings on Bruno?

#monsterdon

GORGONISED!

#monsterdon

forced gorgonization #monsterdon

Tisiphone was also a fury! I guess at least they didn't mention

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

Gorgonized? Is that what you call the aftermath of viagra? #monsterdon

I have to keep “investigating” these drawings… the answer MUST be in the art

#thegorgon #monsterdon

Barbara Shelley as Carla Hoffman, the fusty redhead assistant, is making me feel some kind of way.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon That enormous fur-trimmed hood on Carla's brown cloak looks very comfortable!

@blogdiva Wait, is that why WW2 was actually fought? The fash went into the goth castles and THEN white people wandered in? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon So this is a typical vacation village. Out of towners show up to hook up with locals and get stoned.

She looks like she rode a sleigh to this meeting #monsterdon

wearing sunglasses into the gorgon's lair and getting transformed into play-doh #monsterdon

Sure, there's a gorgon about, but it's such a bargain price on this real estate! #monsterdon

Three full pages! While turning to stone! #monsterdon

No doubt whatsoever about the cause of death being a heart attack

/me checks webMD

no, turning to stone is definitely not one of the symptoms of a heart attack

...I have a doubt
