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 Grading #LastManOnEarth is… that one student who Understood the Assignment.

Vincent Price: A++++++ and not just because of my bias. (That hysterical laughter… eep.)
Science: A, testing hypothesis like garlic and mirrors
Biology: B-, knew the difference between bacteria and viruses at least.
Screenwriting: A+ adaptation, genuinely creepy and dark.
Acting: C+, some chewing of scenery and fellow actors
Irony: BOY howdy.
Plague parallels: damn eerie.

Think this one taught *me*.

#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

It’s like if a political party spent years calling everyone freaks and degenerates, and someone suddenly called them weird and they couldn’t take it. But with impalement.

#Monsterdon #LastManOnEarth

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

That better be the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch #monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

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

#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

"a woman....found a treatment......I must steal the discovery right away!"

#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.

COFFEEEEEE
#monsterdon

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.

We Are Trying To Reach You About Your Car's Extended Warranty, Morgan

#Monsterdon #LastManOnEarth

@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

"I'll only take what I need"
*proceeds to take a huge basket of garlic*
yeah same
#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

Vincent just drove away with a boot full of zombies, and his mocha latte grande on the roof of his car.
#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
