#Monsterdon This is “who’s the real monster here” done RIGHT for a change.

love how we're back to the real monster being 'Society' again, plausible.......gestures to COVID world.

#monsterdon

This film feels Russian somehow

#monsterdon

he spent three years murdering people who could have been treated

goddamn this movie is dark

#monsterdon

This is such a weird first date. #monsterdon

...well, the Parrots do, and that should make you think! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Whoa… the plague WAS a zoonotic leap from a bat to a human. That’s BEYOND creepy.

Animals don't remember your name and yell it back at you Vincent

#monsterdon

I get the feeling someone else is re doing her voice perhaps?

#Monsterdon

Wave literally anything in my face and I’m going to back off, creep.

#Monsterdon #LastManOnEarth

#Monsterdon her husband is ruthless.

babe spotted in the wastes quick reaction moment
a) say 'hey what up'
b) throw down your shovel aggressively and start sprinting before saying anything

#monsterdon

It wasn't the garlic, it was all the Axe body spray he wears. #Monsterdon

"You caught me at a bad time lady, I was just burying a puppy"

#monsterdon

Why does nobody reply to me on this radio that I only keep on for a few seconds at a time?

#monsterdon

"Will fit an entire family of eight" has a different meaning after the plague apocalypse. #monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

"There was a time when I shopped for a car, now I'm shopping for a hearse."

That's a good line, but coming from Vincent Price, I don't believe it. #monsterdon

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

#monsterdon

On the bright side, the electoral college will now return fair election results. #Monsterdon

Awww, the delight on Vincent's face at seeing a puppy!

Actually, where ARE all the dogs?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon his formal attire is remarkably durable and comfortable.

@amyfou he's Vincent Price, that's why! #monsterdon

That talking zompire dude sounds vaguely like Homer Simpson to me. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon that grave may be a wee bit shallow. Ah well.

This really is giving me so many 2020 flashbacks 😓

#Monsterdon

Aw man I miss the burn pits from COVID. Good times. Good times…

#monsterdon

"Mister, a lot of daughters are in there!"

Good line.

#monsterdon

Mmm everybody's drawn to the scent of cooking meat. #Monsterdon

@apLundell this is the only reason I want to go into politics. #Monsterdon

Those were truckloads of "commuters"

#monsterdon

Bring out your dead...
Bring out your dead...
#monsterdon

Bring out your dead!
Bring out your dead!
I'm not dead yet....

#TheLastManOnEarth
#Monsterdon

US Army carrying out corpses, what a vision

#monsterdon

did they have a toilet paper crisis, too?

#LastManOnEarth
#Monsterdon

Oooof, Black Death style "Bring out your dead" army trucks.

#monsterdon

@ricci Vampire bats escaped from a lab

#Monsterdon

Going to have to watch The Last Man On Earth (1964) tomorrow instead of along with #Monsterdon now, but wanted to say that decades ago I read Richard Matheson's I Am Legend, and this is the last of the three movie adaptations I need to see (the others being 2007's I Am Legend with Will Smith and 1971's Omega Man with Charlton Heston) so I'm excited.

These two articles do a good job comparing all three movies and the novella (all the spoilers obviously), for anyone else who's interested.

Which is your favorite and why?

That's not an N95 bed tent. #monsterdon

Send her to school, what could go wrong?

#monsterdon

plots like this hit a little different after covid, huh

#monsterdon

This is basically a COVID19 film and this dude is like the CDC director who says everything's gonna be fine. "It's highly theoretical"

The deaths aren't a theory. And how many folks died for his theories?

#monsterdon

hahaha

the headline

#monsterdon

This is a metaphor for hiding from Covid, right?

#monsterdon

Oh yay - a blurry flashback. Excellent. And now for the backstory.

#Monsterdon

Vincent's riffing his own film!
#monsterdon

uh-oh... there's a whole zombie uprising going on. it's obviously Vince's not first zombie rodeo.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon the ass on that colorful hearse is all blown out. LOL.

Oh come on, you're the last man on Earth, either your god does not exist or they really, really hate you. Let it go

#monsterdon

points for providing your own soundtrack to the zombie attack tho. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon vampire killing montage. Thats quick.

"I'm so fucking bored of murdering vampires, I know how Buffy will feel in the distant future of the 1990s"

#monsterdon

Quick stop off at the mirror store. He's only taking what he needs, though. Of course.

#Monsterdon

Ahhhh, he's murdering vampires block by block.
That makes more sense.

#monsterdon

This is the only #monsterdon universe where gas tanker trucks are not made of explodium. How has it not exploded by now?

Close the back gate or the corpses are going to fall out! This is really bothering me. #Monsterdon

@allanb

Deadlifts. #Monsterdon

The lifting of the bodies, good cardio

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #LastManOnEarth

Dude, Vincent Price is secretly buff! Lugging bodies into his car like bags of groceries.

He's very organized

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Again we see how vitally important coffee is for #Monsterdon movies.

Serious question though, was Vincent Price ever young??

#Monsterdon #LastManOnEarth

Some how he makes drinking a cup of tea while listening to a dead world seem sublime

#VincentPrice #monsterdon

man, doesn't it just suck when you open your garage to drive to work, and there's a dead body right there. #monsterdon

LMAO the MGM lion scared one of the THINGS

does anybody know where is this housing project?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Made it this week!!

"Starring Gina Lollobrigida and Marcello Mastroianni"

#Monsterdon

Vincent does the "slumming it" look very well

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Sign saying "The End Has Come" instead of "The End is Near" 😆

#monsterdon Late Stage Vampirism #lastmanonearth Crap, there's no way this is an original idea.

@amyfou He keeps going out and getting individual mirrors instead of bringing them home in bulk. Very inefficient use of time. He was used to his wife doing all the shopping for him. #Monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

@ottaross Subscribe and save! … or else… #monsterdon

Yes I’m late but this is the Sunday I finally do #monsterdon

anyway thanks to @Taweret as always for hosting ^_^

#monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

@apLundell I wouldn't say the religious imagery came out of nowhere. The chapel in the final scene is likely the same chapel where Vince stays too late earlier in the movie. And "my blood is the cure" is a straight-up Christ analogy.

There are probably other Christian elements I didn't notice because I wasn't watching for them. Vampire movies always turn Christian, because that's a specifically Christian monster.

#Monsterdon

It was a good movie but if #monsterdon were a steady diet of this kind of thing we'd soon be wrecked

@Louisa If I had been valedictorian that would have been my entire speech. #monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

I guess the flashback scene with the little girls and Verge during happier times might have passed the Bechdel test perhaps #monsterdon

they are gas grenades but those are still HOT and EXPLODE and usually YOU don't want to breathe the gas #monsterdon

@Louisa Even at the time, she said _some_ of them were still "living people," which implies that not all of them were, which could be taken to mean that the ones hanging outside his house every night were the kind that don't count.

#monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

vincent price received absolutely zero direction in how grenades work and i love it

#monsterdon #BestOfMonsterdon #VincentPriceGrenadeThrow

@ottaross Yeah, my sister and I were shouting at Virginia to talk to her poor little girl. #Monsterdon

🦖 #MONSTERDON GOODBYE!

Thank you @Taweret for making this tremendous movie part of our weekly fun! I live for this event.

and to @cheribaker for the Bingo card (Dramatic creaking noise 😆)

And to the Real Time Film Analysis Squad for missing nothing and calling out everything...even Moooorgan. Some comments are still filtering into my TL.

hahahahahhahahaa aaaaaaa so good

#monsterdon #BestOfMonsterdon #VincentPriceGrenadeThrow

i think the moral of the story was "this guy was like jesus who was also a mass murderer but his friends got to tell the story so don't trust that shit"

#monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

@blogdiva I really appreciate the Tod Browning reference here. And Morgan comes to a bad end, much like the character who delivers a similar speech in FREAKS. #Monsterdon

The new society has chased the monster into a church. The fleeing beast bleeds in the holy place like some abomination to the religious symbolism on the walls. Cornered the legendary monster lashes out and screams at the people.
#Monsterdon #LastManOnEarth

well i would love to stay up and process my feelings with all the other #Monsterdon folks but I'm old and I have to go to bed. g'night all

Excellent movie, may need to properly sit down and rewatch it without trying to keep up with all the equally excellent commentary. Thanks to @Taweret and goodnight, #monsterdon!

@gnomon "I have safety glasses, they're in my pocket!" Someone I know IRL, and Vincent Robert Morgan. #Monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

@srol *colorised #monsterdon

I wonder why the vampire zombies all decided to dress head-to-toe in black.

#monsterdon

So how long y'figure it takes the woman to start "turning" others? :D #Monsterdon

@Lazarou "The Velvet Scamp" does sound like the name of one of his movies #Monsterdon

Vincent Price's shitty neighbor is no more. That'll teach Kramer to come barging through the door every day.
#Monsterdon #LastManOnEarth

Fin
#Monsterdon

"I'm the last man! Because I got bit by a bat when I was in Peru!"
So how about the people in Peru...? Anyway. Overall a really solid movie, truly more chilling than I expected #monsterdon

Okay that was awesome. One of the best "good" movies we've seen here on #Monsterdon (not that there's a whole lot to choose from lmao)

Thanks @Taweret for hosting, as always!

Is Monsterdon turning into a book club? Oh the power of Vincent Price.
#Monsterdon #LastManOnEarth

So wait, are we all like the descendants of these vampire zombie hybrid humans? #Monsterdon

That was a great story, definitely going to read the book now.

Thanks, all!

#Monsterdon #LastManOnEarth
