Hey, she doesn't look at all like her tinder profile! #monsterdon

Excuse me while I beat down the director of this film with several copies of Bullfinch's Mythology

in hard cover

#monsterdon

I hate it when my neighbours play Elgar trumpet voluntaries too loudly at 2AM.

#monsterdon

"...and remind your mother I'll be by later for a jump, will you?"

#monsterdon

Good hair and tie colour match on the professor.
#Monsterdon

Old timely bastard cops were at least polite I guess #Monsterdon

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?

#Monsterdon

Christopher Lee’s hamster got stoned

#monsterdon #thegorgon

Looks like he needs to knock off on the absinthe #monsterdon

"Everywhere I go, I find a conspiracy of silence." That's remarkable coordination!

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

Well, that mob didn't amount to much.

#monsterdon

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?)

#monsterdon

Ah yes, my 100% flammable carpet

#monsterdon

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

#monsterdon

We are men of science, let's find an immigrant to blame! #Monsterdon

"i believe in the existence of everything"

#monsterdon

I remember Moguera

#monsterdon

@paco well, they've been averaging more than 1 person-goes-missing-stone-version-turns-up per annum for the past 5 years: so they're not coming /straight/ out of left field…
#monsterdon

@helianthropy "Not even a little curious. Dismissed."

#monsterdon

Doctor: anyone can turn people to stone with the right motivation

#monsterdon

We have smoking! Now, if wed can just get some coffee ...

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1964

Okay, but what sort of murder weapon turns a person into stone...?

#Monsterdon

Judge: In some fashion, unbeknownst to us, this young man murder his fiancée by turning her into stone. No further investigation is required.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1964

Murdered by being turned to stone. Nothing more to discuss. #monsterdon

Her neck should be more muscled with 50 kg of hair in her bun. #monsterdon

That little beard make him seem untrustworthy.....

#monsterdon

They said they wanted chiseled abs...what's the problem? #Monsterdon

Curious how they figured Bruno turned people to stone

#monsterdon

"He... turned her into stone somehow. Court adjourned" #Monsterdon

"Perform an autopsy, on a body that's turned to stone?!?"

Are we sure that is a body? Maybe the cops just brought in a statue?

#monsterdon

still a better decision than trump v. united states

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

It is funny that it is still scandalous to be a libertine even though this is not an eighteenth-century novel.

#Monsterdon

“And I have amazing facial hairs.”

#Monsterdon

Bohemians DO get stoned a lot, as we know...

#Monsterdon

It's Germany, lots of Bohemians there. #Monsterdon

No, I am professor Smol Heights, Huge Heights was my father.

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

THis movie is a symphony of odd facial hair. #monsterdon

"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

@whknott I'm thinking chisel 🤔

#Monsterdon

Hell yea. If this movie is about gorgonism, you'd best be turning somebody to stone in the first 10 minutes. Good omen.

#Monsterdon

Another Tums overdose victim. Will they ever learn? #monsterdon

Stone hands are apparently just as scary as the Moon?

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

BRUNO

#monsterdon

I wonder how it feels to dress like a chess piece every day? #monsterdon

Is this an actual old style operating theatre?

I like the colored vials and seeming cooking supplies.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

This is a serious scientist. He has colored liquids in test tubes.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1964

Hella nice lab

#monsterdon

Bingo! Screams achieved.

#monsterdon

the moon isn't THAT scary

#monsterdon

oooof, 1960s Kitchen Sink Drama, "I'm going to 'ave your baby!"

#monsterdon

Several recognizable names in this production. Can't place them particularly but assume I'll recognize a few faces.

#monsterdon

Terence Fisher

Baseball player or Star War?

#monsterdon #thegorgon

Launching my #monsterdon thread for #TheGorgon, a movie in which I guess people get stoned. Or gorged. If that's a word.

Anyway, Monsterdon is a thing where we watch a monster movie every week and make fun of it. If that sounds cool, feel free to join us every week (or read along). If that is not your jam, then consider muting the hashtag to better enjoy your mastodon experience.

Anyway, let the Gorging commence!

reminder: #monsterdon -> gorgon. #mastodon -> gargron

Oh we got Christopher Lee AND Peter Cushing? I like this already! #monsterdon

Wait, this film is made of hammers?

#TheGorgon #monsterdon

#monsterdonalert

#monsterdon

GO GO GO!!

Intensely envious of all the doors in this movie. Some really nice ones.

#Monsterdon
#TheGorgon
#rewind

@GramrgednAngel I definitely think I've seen it before. Maybe in one of the non-Dracula Hammer vampire movies? So many of these sets looked familiar from other Hammer flicks

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

@Lazarou @RobynGoodfellow love quatermass and the pit! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Did anyone else think part of the set for the inn, specifically the garden with its pool, looked like the garden in "Rappacini's Daughter?" I can't unsee it.

It wasn't a standalone, it was part of "Twice-Told Tales."

@Lazarou @moira @YsengrinWolf someone stole the gorgonzolla?! #Monsterdon

Whatdidimiss?! Crashed so hard I couldn't move to slap myself awake.... It was the Amazon women, WASN'T IT?! #Monsterdon

@YsengrinWolf Yes, the lying cover-up town is the real monster in #TheGorgon Were they trying to preserve the tourist trade like in Jaws etc.? #Monsterdon

Very satisfying film! Thanks @Taweret and @Cherizilla
for setting us up with all the creepy atmosphere. #Monsterdon

Thank you to @Taweret /Monsterdon for a little bit of community and amusement among the current chaos and dread. Makes life more enjoyable. See you next week.

#thegorgon #monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow Paul Heitz with greenface at the end reminded me of Andy Serkis Gollum #Monsterdon #TheGorgon

@springdiesel They must be convenient when you have a lot of paperwork to transport #monsterdon

boingy boingy boingy

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

So this one I rated three stars and gave some reasons in my review https://letterboxd.com/anderson_petaq/film/the-gorgon/ #monsterdon

@RamenCatholic we thank you for your service

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

I missed the #invasionofthestarcreatures live but maybe I'll put it on and do a #MonsterdonReplay #monsterdon

https://monsterdon-replay.gerlach.dev/invasion-of-the-star-creatures

Watched this (or something a lot like this) on the "Creature Feature" on Saturday mornings after cartoons and thought that there *must* be a lot of grown-up stuff I'm missing because I'm a kid. No, there just wasn't more there. Enjoyed it anyway.

#Monsterdon ##TheGorgon

@RobynGoodfellow I bet it's like 80% that just end

#Monsterdon

@ramsey Ah, well, all I meant is that I can't take credit (or blame) for the idea of making #Monsterdon seem high-brow, to whatever extent that may be happening 😂

Monsterdon is like "look at how many dummies died to a gaze atrack *they knew was coming*! what dummies!"

their gamemasters: 😏

#Monsterdon

@SordidAmok

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

And, why/how did the Bohemian artist get hung at the start, rather than being turned to stone?

By the end of the movie it's obvious the town has been covering up all the Gorgonizing over the last few years.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1964

@apLundell @Taweret

She had some serious conjunctivitis.

#monsterdon

@ramsey 😂

I actually learned that word from other people here on the #Monsterdon feed

@apLundell

And yet, still smarter than most #Monsterdon movie characters.

Gorgon is slayed 😭 #Monsterdon

@Terencio @Zerofactorial honestly kinda thought they were gonna go there, it would've been a better ending

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

@log oooh the 90's Muppets would have had a great take on Medusa's story

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou the only banting we got was from that one guy at the very beginning who tried to burn the house down and was like "oh so that's how it's gonna be" #monsterdon

So does he have to see a doctor for an erection lasting more than 4 centuries?
#Monsterdon

with all the rubber snakes they could've just as well gone with vulcanization and made all the statues rubbery

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

@jonny if they had more Working Class representation you would have had more bants #monsterdon

alright, let's face it, anything with Christopher Lee in it is worth my time, but there could have been some more """gorgonization""" in that one and i wouldn't have complained. good job everybody, night~ #monsterdon

https://youtu.be/M8zKyNHsn-A?si=o2HzMQejh0My6CIa

#monsterdon #thegorgon

i like when she said IT'S GORGON TIME and gorgonized over everyone #monsterdon

And Boom! It’s over! Not as abrupt as one might like, but still a rapid wrap up!
#Monsterdon

You knew it and you looked all the same - that’s a well deserved gorgonification #monsterdon

The moral of the story is that even if your place is stuck with a goofy name like Castle Borski you can still have creepy goings-on inside if you really want #monsterdon

Thanks @Taweret, for hosting, and @Cherizilla, for organzing the Bingo. I think I got only 3 squares on my card. 😭

Overall, another good addition to and edition of #Monsterdon!

In that sad phase of Monsterdon where the stream is like “Ok, good work everybody” but I’ve still got 6 minutes left because of all the Tubi ads. #Monsterdon

@Cherizilla Very kinda return-to-baseline of the non-kaiju movies in our wheelhouse. Which is kind of mixing metaphors but fukkit I do what I want xD

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

Does the removal of the head, and retracting of the snakes reverse the stone-conversion effect on the victims?

#monsterdon
