this movie is a fucking hellscape. seriously disturbing. well done #monsterdon

WELP... wasn't there a zootropic #COVID19 theory involving bats? The Last Man On Earth is waaaaaaay too close to our current reality.

#monsterdon

"Mr, a lot of daughters are in there....including my own.."

oofff

#monsterdon

2020 remake version:

"I wish someone would find a vaccine."

"We already have a vaccine"

"I DON'T TRUST VACCINES!"

#Monsterdon

i do not like it when Vincent Price laughs... and OMG his acting talent was unparalleled

#monsterdon

there is not one funny moment in this movie. not one. the creepy let me in, OMG

#monsterdon

I'm putting garlic on my timeline just to be safe. #Monsterdon

NO DOCTORS! but the scientist is not working with doctors to find a cure? like WTAF?!?! you're a bad scientist Vincent, you are a bad scientist.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Man, the small details really tell a story in this one. That Morgan drives up to the lab and doesn't bother locking his car door, or even rolling up the window...

"Mommy where are you"

*silence*

Umm, maybe you could help the little kid out in her final pre-zombie hours?

#Monsterdon

PLAGUE CLAIMS HUNDREDS IN EUROPE
welp, ain't this movie timely

#monsterdon

Now those are some artisanal, hand-crafted vampire stakes.

#Monsterdon

is it even a Vincent Price movie if it doesn't have a Vincent Price voice-over?

#monsterdon

that Brutalist mushroom/flying saucer thing in the back

#monsterdon

TFW you take a late Sunday afternoon nap and sleep through Monsterdon.

#Monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

It's the impaling montage. If I had a nickel for every impaling montage I've had to watch in the movies.

#Monsterdon

you're freaks! am a MAN! THE LAST MAN!!!

#monsterdon

OMG... he is going to be offered into communion, aren't they?

drink his blood and you'll be saved from damnation.

#monsterdon

The garlic in this film is an allegory for toilet paper…

#Monsterdon

we need a cut to Mike Huckabee on the TV: are you losing sleep over your secret neighbor vampires? Zombexxium will get you back to sleep in no time

#monsterdon

OMG "MERCER INSTITUTE" you know the Mercers are behind the opioid crisis in the United States, right? they should have been thrown in jail for murder but bought themselves judges and the Trump admin to stay scot free

#monsterdon

*Vincent Price drives up in his car*

Zombies: "Oh man - are we ever embarrassed. We've been flailing away at your house for an hour already, and you weren't even home."

*everyone laughs*

#Monsterdon

Those aren't vampires, they're his HOA come to complain about the state of his yard. #Monsterdon

Vince The Impaler
#monsterdon

YO! he goes house to house impaling people? what kind of doctor is that?

#monsterdon

oh, he gets to have aged beef and garlic because of course the local Piggly Wiggly's fridge is still running

#monsterdon

It's disconcerting that this did not abruptly end without closure. #monsterdon

Robert is the bad guy after all. Robert the Impaler.

#monsterdon

My ex just never gets the point that we are divorced #monsterdon

Those are some very aggressive Jehovah's Witnesses! #Monsterdon

I am appreciating how numb to the horror Vincent Price is looking in his day to day chores.
#monsterdon

#monsterdon The protagonist is slain! The world is filled with the dead and the dying! Nobody at all fucked off into the sea, only into a fiery pit!

And that's a wreck!

Thank you, @Taweret@octodon.social. Thanks for the bingo card, @cheribaker! This was a really good one. (Could have used more crab monsters, but that holds true for most films.)

#Monsterdon I see the Stepford Pre-School is in session.

"Wait,, I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to grab you and hold you against your will"

#Monsterdon

there's a strange evolutionary process... you mean, mutation of a virus, motherfucker. don't let virus mutations run amock

#monsterdon

"Just because there are flaming body pits doesn't mean you shouldn't come in to work"

Admittedly it's a virus lab, but still...it's the assumption

#monsterdon

Was not expecting the COVID analysis mid movie.

#Monsterdon

This is why physical media, and not streaming services, are so essential. #Monsterdon

another day to start all over again... yup, surviving the apocalypse totally sucks if you have to go out everyday to impale another batch of zombies.

#monsterdon

i too would totally take up lathing for the zombie apocalypse, but not before i create a YouTube channel to monetize my craft

#monsterdon

"uuurrgh, time to take out the Dead again......"

#Monsterdon

Running the generator inside will shorten your apocalypse, Vincent #monsterdon

just reading every recipe in his voice is worth it alone! #monsterdon #VincentPrice

they were afraid of me
they were afraid of me
they were afraid of me

and that's how you create atheists.

#monsterdon

…and fade to black.

#Monsterdon

@jonny I want to meet "Vincent Price Grenade Thrower" in a video game #monsterdon

Vincent is too old to be running so much. seriously, what's his secret?!?! he's immune to the plague and he can run like a mofo.

#monsterdon

Few human beings on earth could deliver those lines like Vincent Price could

"FREAKS! I AM THE LAST MAN!"

#monsterdon

ZOMBIECOPS!!!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Those bushes offered perfect camouflage because in this film Morgan is black and white. If this was a colour film they would have spotted him instantly.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

#monsterdon

SHE CAN EAT ITALIAN AGAIN!!!!

#monsterdon

well, he is a scientist after all... of course hes going to check for the virus, duh!

#monsterdon

OK, this is bleak. My wife could not watch this movie

#monsterdon

Wait, what was that building? #Monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

Well, that's nightmare fuel

#monsterdon

Maybe if Dr Mercer pulled his hands out of his pockets and did some work they'd have a vaccine, look at him sauntering around

#monsterdon

Have they tried shoving a UV light up their asses? #Cures #Monsterdon

Your wind ALWAYS wakes me, Bob #monsterdon

#monsterdon "Is Europe's Disease Carried On The Wind?"

😬

"But with the whole world trying, there must be a solution"

😬😬😬

zombified relatives are the WORST

#monsterdon

that's a very stylish church, tastefully minimalist... oh. it's not a church, it's a mausoleum. surviving alone totally sucks.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon vampires are incredibly self conscious. Modest, painfully so.

"What? You're just getting home now? We already got started without you."

#Monsterdon

They've got basic tool usage, and even remember his name. They're already a few levels up on a MAGA rally.

#Monsterdon

Artisanal vampire stakes, Hand-woven garlic garlands. Is this a zombie movie or an Etsy tutorial?

#Monsterdon

one bonus of the Apocalypse is that you get to drive like a twat, but it'll probably be how you die, letting your guard down for a moment's joy...

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Vincent, please, if you have been carving conical stakes in your living room for three years you _must_ have scrounged some safety glasses by now. You're setting a terrible example for the kids.

If the rest of the website is of this quality then Vincent Price's legacy is safe. Such a contemporary man really...

#monsterdon #VincentPrice

@skatem I can see Scott deliver the line "YOU'RE ALL FREAKS! I AM THE LAST MAN!" #monsterdon

@srol I'm not knocking him, I'm just in awe of his style. the velvet scamp he is! #monsterdon #VincentPrice

Friedrich Nietzsche would have a thing or two to say about this denouement

#Monsterdon.

Um, Vincent, I'm not sure swapping blood when your new girlfriend is sleeping really fits into the whole consent thing.

#Monsterdon

Horse de-wormer for the win. #Monsterdon

Vincent's gone... a little eccentric

#monsterdon

...they really were talking about his car's extended warranty.

#Monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

your baby paid for you techbro sins, Vincent

#monsterdon

Vincent was previously-infected by bats, so he has antibodies

#monsterdon

This is dark. Gojira level dark. #Monsterdon

This film is basically RFK's logic

#monsterdon

They have body pits and they were about to send the kid to school?

Yeah, that figures....

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Oh Morgan, I know exactly how you feel. I would be laughing and sobbing hysterically in the basement too if I had had coffee and orange juice for breakfast, fallen asleep slanted sideways in a church, then only managed to make it home after sunset only to have to shove through a crowd of rowdy neighbours just to get in the front door.

"universal disease"

That sounds like some wack 60s idea that never made it out of the 60s

#monsterdon

surviving the apocalypse totally sucks, man

#monsterdon

@catzilla zompires?

#monsterdon

and people thought Cuomo was bad. Vincent our man is just totally throwing the corpses into a fiery pit

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Oh my, he is still salvaging preserved garlic from a supermarket rather than growing the garlic himself? They should have sent a p̶o̶e̶t̶ botanist

OMG is this another one of those weird Italy/USA film collaborations?

#monsterdon

He's just living how most single men live really.....the competent ones at least

#monsterdon

#monsterdon "community the has" "church end come"

GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO

#monsterdon

I propose a remake with Scott Thompson playing Vincent Price’s part.
#Monsterdon

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's feature, #TheLastManOnEarth, from 1964, is based on the 1954 novel "I Am Legend" by the brilliant Richard Matheson, and stars the equally brilliant Vincent Price. Amidst the post-apocalyptic ghoulies and beasties, we also had:
- Garlic and stakes!
- Vampire Jazz!
- Burn pit backstory!
- The biggest old timey radio set ever!
- Bat man antibodies!

well, that was the darkest movie we've even done

really good tho and proof that Vincent Price could carry a whole ass movie all by himself

ty for joining, everyone!!

#monsterdon

Welp that's what happens if you are naturally immune

#monsterdon

That was indeed, much bleaker than the Heston version, and better for it I would say

#monsterdon

lady fascists too, following a few steps behind their male overlords of course

#monsterdon

got up to get something to drink. do we know why he has been immune all this time?

#monsterdon

"I fucking LOVE this garlic now!"

#monsterdon

"Shhh, don't move, I'm just injecting you while you sleep.....it's nothing creepy"

#monsterdon
