...So she's possessed by the spirit of the Medusa.

Guys. This is like... You've got a whole Rube Goldberg plot setup when you could just say, "Oh, the Medusa fled and hid here, she's hypnotizing Karla to protect herself." #Monsterdon

Christopher Lee: My character will be the smartest, most competent person in the film. He'll figure everything out. He'll be very strong. He'll have an amazing mustache. He'll be the tallest person in the film.

Director: Sir, you are hurting me.

Christopher Lee: Good.
#monsterdon

@Taweret i bet they can fly too.... #Monsterdon

"How can you accuse a beautiful woman? Beautiful women can't be evil. The philosophy of my penis doesn't allow it!"

#Monsterdon

so it's not even were-medusa, it's like the were spirit of medusa. third degree medusa-ing. #monsterdon

Magera died 2000 years ago? Was she...Aztec? #monsterdon

Whoa, they had to re-record a bit of this dialogue, I guess? That was wacky.

#Monsterdon

The chaotic wall art in these scenes is great, I want it.

#Monsterdon #thegorgon1965

Even the movie is getting impatient with itself!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👹 🙍 🙎 🗿 🗿 😱

Yes, let's put these pieces together, Chris.

"In nineteen-hundred and six" okay buddy calm down

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

No can do, brah. Gotta go meet Profmeister down at Castle Broski, laters!

#Monsterdon

i'm sneaking i'm sneaking hee hee heee

#monsterdon

The bassoon is so underrated. Or is that an oboe

#Monsterdon #thegorgon1964

I want to see a Hammer movie where when Lee and Cushing meet, they say: "YOU again!" #monsterdon

[ominous bassoon throughout]

#monsterdon

@Taweret look the gorgon just isn't some trained monkey you can tell to do the turning-people-into-stone trick whenever you want she's a romantically fickle person too

#monsterdon

@Taweret At least we're not to the point where we are rooting for the baddie to kill all the painfully stupid people asap #monsterdon

Ominous oboe!

#monsterdon

Little known fact, Christopher Lee couldn't go to the beach because people kept mistaking him for those long folding lounge chairs. Woke up once to find a young lady tanning on him. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Professor Bro. Meister carries himself like a time lord.

@Taweret there are definitely more in the #Monsterdon audience that got stoned than people in the actual movie so far

#Monsterdon 👹 🙍 🙎 🗿 🗿 😱

seriously I want that sagittal section it looks like it's laminated and everything!

Whoa! A Ninja!

Paul almost got Ninjorganized!

#thegorgon #monsterdon

He's slightly better at staying alive than Ratoff is at killing people. Doesn't say much, they're both pretty bad at it. #monsterdon

Dammit, what's with all these knife thrown orderlies? Is this a Bond movie? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon WAS THAT GUY JUST HIDING IN THAT CAVE THE LAST 30 MINUTES????

So, all she needed was love? #Monsterdon

@skatem @ottaross Are you saying Magera's secret is scrunchies of petrification? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👹 🙍 🙎 🗿 🗿 😱

OK Christopher Lee does very silly running indeed

okay thats like the 4th vampire survivors weapon

#monsterdon

The moral of the story is don't make a beautiful woman wait on you.

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe he's not going to get his gorg on at this rate. #monsterdon

Wait, is her dress gold or blue?

#monsterdon

Bechdel be damned!

#monsterdon

Is Carla the Gorgon? I am actually not sure!

#Monsterdon #thegorgon1965

@ottaross snakes are awesome for gripping hair, and they make lovely curls too.
#Monsterdon

"Follow him! And maybe throw a knife!" #monsterdon

yes, let's find Moguera

#monsterdon

are they actually gonna have Carla be the Gorgon? i thought "that would be cool but they're not gonna do it" but ARE THEY

#Monsterdon

Does it feel too obvious for Carla to be the gorgon?

#monsterdon

Castle Borski would be a good name for a waffle place in Wisconsin #monsterdon

The Castle Borski set is by far my favorite

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👹 🙍 🙎 🗿 🗿 😱

Get'em, Carla! Gorgonize him!

@moira And now I'm going to be imagining this Carla wearing her cape and going around on rollerblades #Monsterdon

Bring back tiny humanoid lions holding shields guarding mausoleums on the grounds of private homes!

#Monsterdon

I wonder how many of these sets are leftovers from "The Horror of Dracula" #Monsterdon #TheGorgon

@hollie To be fair she could still be more statuesque, if she got gorgonized

#Monsterdon

holy shit total girlboss
#monsterdon

@Lazarou Ugh, and look at him (Namaroff) trying to cuddle Carla while he's in his bloody medical jacket/gown! YUCK! Paul is 100% better choice (if you must choose one) #TheGorgon #Monsterdon

@SordidAmok You know, there is a gorgon that turns people to stone.

#Monsterdon

@maple I've been getting "Carla is the Gorgon" vibes since the cape scene #Monsterdon

I am sick of your jealousy. I am sick of you!

GOOD DAY!

#Monsterdon

There's only one woman in this town: of course you're in love with her (as everyone else also appears to be)

#monsterdon

oh lol is carla the gorgon? i'm guessing carla is ghe gorgon

#monsterdon

The Democratic State of Pretty Ladies and Petrifying Monsters #Monsterdon

Y'know what this movie needs? More slow walking. #monsterdon

I do believe that they wanted Christopher Lee's character to resemble Nietzsche.

#monsterdon

Why is no one saying what a statuesque woman Carla is....

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Tell them I'm busy removing this owl's toes.

Just yesterday it was a police state, now it's very democratic 😛

#Monsterdon

Sudden love story out of nowhere.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

Loving Christopher Lee playing Doc Brown #monsterdon

Christopher Lee is sooo John Mastodon in this movie. #monsterdon

Lee's not having any of your shit. Good Day Sir! #Monsterdon #TheGorgon

there is a lot of state bashing going on right now and I'm for it

#Monsterdon

@Terencio uh,... maybe its a democratic police state? is that a thing that can even exist? #monsterdon

Dating services sucked in 1910.

#monsterdon

That is the longest fly I have ever seen on a pair of pants #monsterdon

"This is of course a very democratic state"

Which is why the cops can Papers Please you to death >_> #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon According to the hubs “This is why autistic people would survive, we don’t go around looking everyone in the eye.”

Then we brainstormed a story in which gorgons go around gorgonizing everyone and only autistic people are left, much to the gorgon’s frustration.

I’ll put this idea in my idea file.

@Lazarou Scientists are now working on an AI model capable of being turned to stone

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👹 🙍 🙎 🗿 🗿 😱

They really went all in with the spray-on gray in this show

@moira They live in a part of Europe where the entire outdoors consists of huge matte paintings #monsterdon

"Don't use long words, they don't suit you."

Precedent, eh?

#Monsterdon

You know the churro flavored peeps are pretty good actually. #monsterdon

I love how Prof. Lee believes in Gorgon in a beat!
#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe They did a study, it takes people 39 seconds of screen time to become friends and two and a half minutes to fall in love

#Monsterdon

I can hear that Christopher Lee said "reflexion" rather than "reflection."

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

@CactuarJoe Got a fresh one here. Labeled "Abby Normal". #monsterdon

Stiltonized. Is that also a thing? #Monsterdon

This has nothing to do with #Monsterdon but people on Mastodon always say they love when folks share weird little nerdy thing about themselves, so since they keep saying "Nemerov" I want to just say that Howard Nemerov is one of my favorite poets. His poem Storm Windows made me emotional when I was 17 and read it for the first time. Years later I thought it couldn't have been that good, but I found it again, and again it made my heart clutch, and since then it's been one of my favorite poems.

I’ve been gorgonized…it’s like “Simonized” without all the steaming and pressing.
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👹 🙍 🙎 🗿 🗿 😱

The sagittal section drawings on the wall are lovely!

@socketwench similar to their lighting budget... could only afford the top of her head #monsterdon

"...one brain, slightly used"

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

All brains no glove. #Monsterdon

EVERYONE goes out for a walk in this movie. #monsterdon

He's really into chicks. Dissembling them. #monsterdon

"Wonder what that Gorgon is up to right now." -- @Taweret , probably

#monsterdon

Wait- did he just get her brain out using just a scalpel? #monsterdon

I appreciate Meister (Christopher Lee) sassing Paul like that the minute he sees him #monsterdon

I also look like I have dug my way out of my grave.

#Monsterdon

"Paul, you don't get tenure just because you've gone prematurely grey." #Monsterdon

Presumably, all of the higher-ranked men had been classically educated and had been assigned Ovid's "The Metamorphoses".

(Einstein had to get Latin tutoring to pass the entrance exams for a Swiss technical college.)

#monsterdon

The Exorcist Arrives ... oh, wait, it's Christopher Lee.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1964

He's just life support and mobility for that mustache #monsterdon

@allanb For plot purposes they would surely have to sacrifice a bunch of people before figuring it out, but yeah

#Monsterdon
