they do seem to have an endless supplies of cigarettes in the apocalypse

#monsterdon

The world's first rapid vampire disease test - limited accuracy

#monsterdon

so he found the last woman on earth?

#monsterdon

the dog's a trap, isn't it?

#monsterdon

"Single man meets first new woman in months"

RUN LADY! RUN!

#monsterdon

uh-oh... what has the dog been eating though 🧐

#monsterdon

Was not expecting such an adorable pupper after The End

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon It would be amusing if when you pulled the vamps off their kebab skewers, they’d get back to shambling. That would have been a cute twist.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!

but at least we now know his name is Robert.

#monsterdon

@berniethewordsmith es que todavía andamos en medio de una pandemia. no se ha terminao

#monsterdon

"I'll get the ivermectin" #monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

#monsterdon
This film has a.... Tenuous grasp on the scientific method

The dude is going to have to stake his wife and kids, isn't he? That's a tough one....no wonder we went nuts

#monsterdon

"With the whole world trying, there must be a solution"

But what if lady, they just didn't bother applying the solution? Just let it burn instead? Imagine....

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Morgan! Your car insurance has laaaaaaapsed Morgan!

Are they passing the 'mirror test' because that asks some ethical questions of the Last Man's cleansing of them block by block

#monsterdon

Bless Vincent, but he fights like a man who was always destined for Theatre

#monsterdon

I do actually like how this film makes surviving the apocalypse seem like hard and tedious work, instead of a fun and exciting adventure. #monsterdon

but is it really a dystopia if you still need to the gas station?

#monsterdon

All dressed up to waste some more vamps. I like his style. #monsterdon

the wreath of garlic at the door 👀 is that foreshadowing?

i purposefully never read about the movies before watching them so am totally clueless as to what it is about.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon there’s a lot of fuel on the side of that gas can. The place appears to be made of oily rags. This can be an OSHA video.

The locals are assuming a very laid back posture.
#Monsterdon

@RufusJCooter @apLundell@octodon.social that meme about all those 20th Century dystopias in a Venn Diagram and we're living in little bits of each #monsterdon

"Don't cry. There's nothing to cry about. We're all safe."
The beast is dead. society is safe once again.
Holy hell that was great.
And the flashbacks are WAY darker now. Oof.
#Monsterdon #LastManOnEarth

Yay #Monsterdon. That was a surprisingly good one, but still had some fun awkward or dated bits for heckling.

that IS ACTUALLY THE moral of the story is that vincent price was actually not worth saving and you don't need a true antidote because being a huge piece of shit was the real disease #monsterdon

dystopia where compliance is given by receiving treatment for the Virus.

Bleak

#monsterdon

so they finally got their stakeholder society then

#monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

Vincent's doing the Ninja disappearing act thing

#monsterdon

@ottaross multiple red flags there Vincent.... #monsterdon

"I was going to give you the shot but I decided to do this much more complicated and risky thing"

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Look, Morgan, whatever else you're going to do in this situation, you should give her the injection you prevented her from giving herself.

"Your New Society wants me dead?! I just buried a puppy this morning, what is this?!"

Accelerationists take note....

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon these zombies could be great for yard work.

some people are just allergic to garlic, you know #monsterdon

#monsterdon Vincent Price runs like me chasing a laser dot after three days of insomnia

The mushroom shaped building was Il Fungo, in Rome.

#Monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

New character: Franca enters the chat:

#Monsterdon

why is he immune though?

#monsterdon

HE KILLED FLUFFY!!!

#monsterdon

Wait a minute. She's not very zombacious.

#Monsterdon

Well, at least she didn't choose the quilted housecoat. #Monsterdon

Bear or Vincent Price? #Monsterdon

Those exteriors are all filmed in and around Rome.

#Monsterdon

Holy cow. People can cover serious territory on foot in this film. He drove for ages before he found the grave site for his wife. She got out and got back home quite quick. #monsterdon

it's the LA Riots, but make it zombies.

#monsterdon

Zombie number 12 is really getting his dislike of rear car seats out of his system.

#Monsterdon

"Honey I'm home"

#Monsterdon

Oh man, did his undead wife follow him home like a lost dog?

OMG, she did!

#monsterdon

Oh yeah, the Heston version of this story is a lot lighter in comparison. He just got sad over missing Woodstock

#monsterdon

Slowly the camera pans over to a half-hidden sign, reading..."Pet Sematary." #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon it appeared that for a brief time, Virge was on the verge. She is no longer on any verge. Anymore.

Wow it just keeps getting darker

#monsterdon

she called the doctor, then bad things happened - some MAGA thinking going on here

#monsterdon

Oh, the burn pit already existed.

#Monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

"Maybe you better not send her to school today"

That 20th century parenting....

#monsterdon

"Why here's some wind now."

#Monsterdon

A plague? Inject some bleach or snort some horse de-wormer! #Monsterdon

He's still maintaining that stache, gotta hand it to him #monsterdon

Your hair could withstand an a-bomb lady

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon My first thought was that this was the stock family that comes with every tin of movie film. And then I stopped and thought of picture frames. LOL.

"Single man looks at neighbours home movies without their consent"

#monsterdon

zombie/vampires are actually much creepier when they know your name

points for that, movie

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon and we’ve finally got solid sighting of the #SuddenStringSection.

Waking up with a resigned "another day" is so relatable

"Boot fulla Zombies" is going to be my next band's name.

#Monsterdon

The original "Burning Man".

#Monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

Excuse me while I turn a few stakes on the lathe. #Monsterdon

He's keeping himself busy with some projects, that's good. A good sign. Perhaps a walk will help?
Poor single man...

#monsterdon

You know the apocalypse is bad when you can't even enjoy coffee or garlic.

#Monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

Special guest - Sophia Loren

Tonight's episode "Ring of Fire"

#Monsterdon

The end is extremely fucking nigh

#Monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

People take nap time very seriously in this city. #Monsterdon

@skatem that would work for sure I bet Scott Thompson has seen every single one of Vincent's monologues on the Hilarious House of Frightenstein show so he knows the subject well

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou @apLundell Kinda wild when #Monsterdon turns out to be a documentary filmed half a century before the events it depicts, isn't it?

#Monsterdon

"Pass the salt Vincent"
*he cheekily lobs a gas grenade instead

#monsterdon

Hot damn, that was good!

I guess what I took away from this one, was, if there's an airborne disease killing millions across the world, maybe you should... wear a mask?

#Monsterdon #TooSoon ?

Also: In a bizarre, ironic twist: Price's cookbook waaaayyy lowballs how much garlic you should use

Thanks for watching along, y'all! Thanks to @Taweret for hosting! Have a great week, see ya next sunday!

#Monsterdon #LastManOnEarth

Favorite scene in this one:

Vincent Price, in black and white and gasmask, casually tosses a grenade into a pit full of bodies he just dumped there, like a post-apocalyptic hipster boss.

The moral of the story is that if you think you're the main character in a Hero's Journey plot you might just want to check your assumptions #monsterdon

"I'm a man. The Last Man..."
Clap clap clap clap! 😭
#Monsterdon #LastManOnEarth

@jonny This is how I want to leave parties #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Wow, we’re finding some hidden gems in amongst the trash flicks! @Taweret , thank you for hosting and expanding our exposure to Culture! (Bacterial culture, in this case.) 🧫

We are all safe now...but at what cost?

THE END

Thanks for another fantastic #Monsterdon @Taweret ! It's a legit great movie and Vincent was fantastic as always!

To think how much better the 2020s would have been so far if we had heeded the messages in this movie!

Vincent Price, dying: with my last breath... I want you to know you're all freaks

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe classic Fascists #monsterdon

Calling people "freaks" is probably not the ideal way to calm them down. #Monsterdon

is he gonna die on the altar and tell them to drink of his blood!?

#monsterdon

Sound of Music had fewer nazis in a church

#Monsterdon

Well this is now my favorite version of I Am Legend. It hits more beats of the original than the others. Making Vincent Price the sympathetic hero who is also The Monster works perfectly.
#Monsterdon #LastManOnEarth

#Monsterdon you can tell this was filmed in Italy by how well dressed everyone is after 3 years of zombie apocalypse

They went with Billionaire Chic uniforms #monsterdon

lol, a literal post apocalypse fascist gang, how contemporary!

#monsterdon

"can i offer you a garlic in this trying time"
#Monsterdon #LastManOnEarth

Damn this movie is dark and really quite good

#Monsterdon #LastManOnEarth

Ha ha ha, VINCE IS A VAMPIRE TO VAMPIRES that's spectacular :D #Monsterdon

Vincent Price would probably be in my top ten of people I would never want to be yelled at by #Monsterdon
