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

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

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

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

_professor Heitz haltingly walks into an abandoned, derelict castle, trips repeatedly on things, spies a mysterious creature clad in green, exclaims in horror and recoils in terror and pain_

_the scene is quiet again_

_a lone candlestick waltzes into frame_ be.... our.... guest..!

A little late to the party, but tonight’s #monsterdon is The Gorgon (1964).

At long last, we put aside campiness, we put aside farce, we halt our fling with the intentionally bad. It’s time to return to a studio known for taking itself far more seriously than it ever deserved to be taken, and yet somehow managed to make it work.

To put it another way: Stop! Hammer time.

I suppose, this movie takes place in the UK, where they don't have quite the same tradition of "qualified immunity" as the US does, doesn't it?

The legend was of three sisters who were Gorgons. I hope one of them had the name "Zola" …or would that be too cheesy? (Gorgon Zola?)

Columbo here has solved the case at the outset and will spend the rest of the movie making snide comments.

"Drunkenness, bad behavior in public" can cover so much. He could've been sloppily painting Warhammer miniatures at a picnic table in the park. #monsterdon
