Honey, why didn't you say it was bring out your dead day?!?! #Monsterdon
Very admirable of Vincent Price to give his own stunt double a part opposite him. #Monsterdon
Apparently so
@nev They're just sick people. They talk with each other and Vincent Morgan, and they feel pain. [And can use tools!] They're human. That's why I keep putting "vampires" in quotes. #Monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth
totally valid to not want the guy who said you were cr*zy for trying to protect yourself to come to your house during a pandemic, vincent price may be the protagonist but he's no hero #monsterdon
#Monsterdon βIs everyone in the world going to die before we find the answer?β Uh, well, Morgan, I have some good news, and some bad newsβ¦
Gee why all the hate for doctors no wonder this zompire plague is so bad #Monsterdon
Good thing I started watching The Decameron earlier today to get in the mood #monsterdon
nothing like driving to work and seeing a bunch of body-laden military vehicles pass you by. yeesh. #monsterdon
@berniethewordsmith That's what the vampire zombies are all saying!
I'm missing #Monsterdon tonight for reasons, but I like reading the toots and trying to piece the movie together in my mind.
I think Ben was a Teenage Werewolf
Oh a ferris wheel. One more stop VIncent. I wanna ride the ferris wheel.
#Monsterdon #LastManOnEarth
he is embarrassed upon seeing the wreath, he forgot to bring over a Garlicsmas gift
#Monsterdon #LastManOnEarth
So is paranoia one of the symptoms?
He's wearing a robe, he must be sick. #monsterdon #LastManOnEarth
#Monsterdon And now we see how βmy theory is vampiresβ shows our hero that that the garlic thing works! I mean, props to him for experimental verification of his hypothesisβ¦.
TIL Richard Matheson also wrote What Dreams May Come, Somewhere In Time, and Nightmare At 20,000 Feet, plus so many screen plays, seriously check out his IMDB.
ben the smart one in this flick. #monsterdon
Thank goodness he drives a hearse
#Monsterdon he's already wearing the yellow shirt!!
Hi lady.
Die lady.
#Monsterdon #LastManOnEarth
oooh they doodled little microbes #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon It's ... it's full of stars!
NOW they quarantine??
Mommy, I need your blood #monsterdon
Actually some kaiju fighting would lighten things up right now
Yes, breath directly into Ben's face after hugging your sick kid. #monsterdon
Can't report cases to the health officials now can we? Gotta keep the numbers down.
#monsterdon Ben has perfect Ken doll hair
This "scientist" is anti-doctor even when its his own daughter?? He deserves everything he gets. #monsterdon
Lie, deny, pretend it doesn't exist! It works /sooooo/ well /s π·
ANSWER THE FUCKING POOR KID GOD DAMN #monsterdon #LastManOnEarth
@strangefour The Pit and the Pendulum? It showed up here some weeks back.
#Monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth
@brooke And it made my face magnetic!
Oh great job vince, yeah, don't report the infected. That always works in zombie flicks. Maybe just coat yourself in pig's blood while you're at it. #Monsterdon
child bedridden and breathing poorly and only MAYBE don't send her to school today? #Monsterdon
Well at least she'll be safe from Triffids #Monsterdon
They have got to be living somewhere near Gilroy to have that much freaking garlic.
This is really horrible
@yatsu Vincent Morgan hasn't read/watched enough books/movies to know how to plan/execute for the long haul. #Monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth
Wait, you mean that netted tent didnβt stop the apocalypse from blinding your child? Iβm *so* shocked. #Monsterdon
"There's nothing they can do!"
You could try putting the pillow on top of her face, instead of underneath
Me at work: "You laughed at my theory. You might be one of them."
would someone answer the poor girl at least, jesus. #monsterdon
We don't need no stinking doctors
@Vincarsi Someone says some wild bullshit, someone else says "that's not science, that's just a theory." Lather rinse repeat. What's wrong with that? #monsterdon
Other scientist has not heard of Koch's postulates?? Crack team of leading scientists indeed
This is a great twist, Dr. Vincent is the vaccine (vampire) denier
#monsterdon His Excellency the Governor? Wait is this set in Florida? #theLastManOnEarth
I think I have seen multiple movies of Vincent Price throwing bodies into a pit?Was he in a witch hunter movie or something... I vaguely recall a movie in color with a body pit.
#Monsterdon #LastManOnEarth
Look! I drew little vampire fangs on the bacteria π§π» π¦
his excellency, the governer?? #monsterdon
Looking forward to the next plague, so I have to stay home some more. #monsterdon #LastManOnEarth
oh 'blindness is one of the symptoms' that's not horrifying at all
The early parts of the film were pretty impressive, but this flashback sequence feels like it could be from any pulpy science catastrophe flick from this era. #Monsterdon
Also figures that the colleague he's annoyed by would be the Zompire that ends up leading the attacks on his home.
@paco OK, they're talking about bacilli and germs, so not a "vampire" *virus* per se. #Monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth
@CactuarJoe I did my own research!
#Monsterdon So ... you are in the lab, working with specimens with no gloves, goggles, or masks?? Sir, I may have to ask for your scientist's card! (FYI: I teach Biology).
I love the reverb on the dialogue in the lab scene. Makes everything feel as though it's already dead. #Monsterdon
Make up your mind -- vampires or zombies???
listen, i'm always tired in the daytime and regularly stay up till 2 or 4 in the morning, guess i've got it too. #monsterdon
@paco but in an emergency situation, a home made bed tent is better than nothing
"There's stories being told, bob!" I heard it on Newsmax! #Monsterdon
@steggy and took a leak
Yes, most prestigious institutes have plywood signs lettered in poster paint, what are you implying
I can't open my eyes before 8 am, I would be dead in a day #monsterdon
@Taweret I was thinking the same thing, but about January 6th #monsterdon
Maybe the sick kid shouldn't go to school? Maybe?!?
Home made stakes. I am loving this environmental story telling. Maybe too much narration but it's alot of showing not telling.
#Monsterdon #LastManOnEarth
If they are vampires why do they look and act like zombies.
Tiredness, light sensitivity... yep, COVID. #monsterdon
Did COZOMPIRE-65 come from a bat or was it a lab leak?
I know I'm exhausted
You call that a legraph? This is a legraph. #Monsterdon
Things were not, in fact, going to be alright
Ah yes. Exactly where you expect medical research to be done. #monsterdon
Been better if he were a biologist rather than a chemist
Hits a little different after 2020 though.
#monsterdon
on mercer island
morgan's wife sleeps in a potato sack of lace i guess #monsterdon
Wait, is it a bacillus or a virus? They don't know the difference, must be the CDC. #monsterdon
Great parking spot for work.
I make fun, but this is actually just as decent as I remember.
#monsterdon
Yeah, this all hits a little different now, huh. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon Early stages of the universal plague are surprisingly twisting my insides. I guess some horrors are β¦. Very resonant.
#Monsterdon Mosquito netting? How big are these viruses?
When I read the book, the whole global airborne disease aspect must not have registered. It uh does now.
They've got the fever. And the only cure is MORE COWBELL
too soon man too soon #Monsterdon
Yeah use whatever that fragile glass thing is to say lately secure the kids tent
This is a long flashback
#monsterdon
OK did anybody catch if the tailgate was open in the flashback? It's bugging me!
"Don't get up honey. Not unless you can find something more shapeless to put on."
#monsterdon #LastManOnEarth
Let's send the bedridden kid 5o school today! In a pandemic! Sharing is caring #monsterdon
Cutting edge scientist gets his news from torn out sections of the newspaper delivered by his neighbour.
#monsterdon
π¦οΈDIFFERING OPINIONS π
Years after the movie, Vincent Price said The Last Man on Earth was superior to The Omega Man, the next version/remake.
Charlton Heston, who starred in The Omega Man, described "Last Man" as "incredibly botched, totally unfrightening, ill-acted, sloppily written and photographed."
