I gotta think filming this is HARD in 1963. Movie cameras were huge and that's a TON of mirrors. #monsterdon

Vampire on the ground, then a shot of VP staking from a standing position, do his stakes telescope? #monsterdon

looting the mirror store as one does post-apocalypse
#monsterdon

Gotta say the Vincent Price narration is better than Charlton Heston's

#monsterdon

It’s a bit early for a montage scene don’t ya think?

#Monsterdon

how is the garlic at the store fresher than the garlic at home? they haven't gotten any orders from Associated Grocers #Monsterdon

I'll Just do a little shopping at the Mirror Store

#monsterdon

@aburka say we're on the low end of what wikipedia says their volume is at 5k US gallons... idk how fuel efficient cars were in the 60s but let's say 10mpg to also be conservative, and also maybe 10 miles a day on average. so that would be 1 gallon a day, 13.6 years? doable. #monsterdon

Three years and he still hasn't moved ALL those mirrors to his place. Come on Vincent. #monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

Oooh, I like the fades with him reading a book and the car and then the ferris wheel...I thought we were only supposed to watch bad movies?

#Monsterdon

Ok, generator in supermarket explains the power still working. At least that makes sense

#Monsterdon

Evert grocery store should have an electric generator

#monsterdon

The real dream of all modern post-apoc fiction : I could just walk into the grocery store and take anything I want! #monsterdon

vampires and hunks of beef, the perfect room, one might argue. #monsterdon

were those bodies filled with gunpowder? #Monsterdon

how long does it take for the mannequin phase of decomposition to set in? #monsterdon

Ok so how long could you run a car on one tanker's worth of whatever that is? #theydidthemath #monsterdon

So -- he lives to clean house?

#monsterdon

Slightly less polluted than actual LA, so that is nice

#Monsterdon

Remember kids: Masking is important. #monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

He has coffee and orange juice, picks up a few yard bodies, then hand-lathes his own stakes? Seems like he's living his best life tbh

#Monsterdon

Always have to wonder in these kinds of movies, "who runs the utilities?"

#Monsterdon

Frankly you're better off leaving the City entirely, let the rats deal with all that....

#monsterdon

*Slaps car trunk* This baby can fit so many dead vampires

#Monsterdon

Using a lathe with long sleeves?
Interesting choices for the last guy on earth.

#monsterdon

BRING OUT YOUR DEAD

#monsterdon

I can't live a heartbeat away from hell, the transit situation is terrible and the rent is too high! I have to live out in purgatory somewhere. Or Renton.

#monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

#Monsterdon This isn't part of the movie, Vincent just has a lot of woodworking project to do for his wife, and he insists on doing them on set.

My dude, you're the last man on earth; you don't need to tuck in your shirt!

#monsterdon

Pick up more? I hope he knows where there's a garlic farm. Because after three years the stores' garlic will be as dried-out as his

#Monsterdon

Methodically crafting stakes with a lathe. Loving it. #monsterdon

Where is he still getting OJ like 3 years in, dang
#monsterdon

Just me and dolly now #monsterdon

🚨 BOLO 🚨

Corpses are restless in this movie. They shift positions drastically in scenes and in cars as scenes progress.

Steering wheels also move from side to side.

(So it may not be your gummie.)

#TheLastManOnEarth

Me at work: "I have to control my anger. Anger can make me vulnerable."

#Monsterdon

I wonder how he chose his callsign?
#monsterdon

I already like Vincent better than Charlton Heston in the Omega Man version.

#Monsterdon

"I'm on International frequency, come in.'" Dude: if anybody receives your transmission, they KNOW what frequency you're on. #monsterdon

OK, the "fresh" dead bodies are empties the vamps discard when they're drained, and are weaker vamps themselves.

#Monsterdon #LastManOnEarth

he woke up with perfect hair

#Monsterdon

Vincent Price is one of the very few actors who could pull off the "main character narrates/exposits the plot"

Harrison Ford, for example, did the theatrical release of Blade Runner no favors with his voice over (God bless him!)

#monsterdon

Vincent Price here and this is your Last Man On Earth Podcast. Brought to you by Shari's shot gun shells and those pieces of wood you hammer up over your windows. #monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

....tinned goods...no fresh food....expecting a racing car bed

#monsterdon

Vincent's little-known ham radio hobby. #monsterdon

Coffee is served! To himself. Still counts.

The best thing about being prepared for vampire attacks is you're also always ready to make a bangin' lasagne. #Monsterdon

Let's leave every light in the house on.
#Monsterdon #LastManOnEarth

Love the garlic. #monsterdon

He must be pretty resourceful to keep this generators running. We need this guy at work.

#Monsterdon

@blogdiva I'm watching #TheLastManOnEarth via the Wikipedia page for it. Working good, sharp sound image for the garlic on Vincent's door. #Monsterdon

It's weird seeing Vince so disheveled. Someone get that man a velvet dressing gown. #Monsterdon

he stole that car from the Munsters

#monsterdon
#TheLastManOnEarth

So, we're four years into The Plague, more or less. It's now 1968.

#Monsterdon #LastManOnEarth

#Monsterdon Wow, that’s almost as much garlic as I use in cooking!

The garlic, though! Foreshadowing...

#Monsterdon #LastManOnEarth

ah, i am legend, i thought the summary sounded familiar. i am HERE for Vincent Price as legend. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #CoffeeWatch Report: Will we still get coffee? The coffee pot is in the foreground there. What are you doing, sir? Coffee first! then adventure!

Loving the titles. It's #Monsterdon Italian style.

@JoeWynne we'll survive without someone following along with the plot for us, somehow. #Monsterdon

so this starts, like, 30 seconds after On The Beach then?

@aprilfollies everybody says humanity is the monster, but

nah

i am the monster. :D

#monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

@farah Given how much voiceover there was, I wouldn't've objected to more adventurous music and the phrase "I never liked this modern acid jazz, but nothing hides the sound of them hitting my house better - and now, it's like a lullaby."

#monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

@neia Poor rhetorical skills. #Monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

so it's a hallmark of the genre for a horror/thriller movie to leave a very tasty mystery by the end, and i feel like last man on earth did that really well. like this whole time you think it's just robert morgan and then you learn there's an actual society. woman-that-nobody-would-listen-to tells morgan that starting a new society is messy. and they're all nocturnal and then you see some of them. and then at the end there's the church congregation all in black and like.

what are they like? what problems do they have? are they a dystopia? is it a both-sides-are-bad-guys situation or did we just see some of the uglier sides of the vampire people? it's really compelling

UFC 304 was a night of rematches, but the biggest story was the rise of Belal Muhammad. In a thrilling main event, Muhammad dethroned Leon Edwards to become the new welterweight champion.

Yes let’s play jazz music so they can find me better #monsterdon

@apLundell Yeah, keeping a Google Doc of your kills just doesn't have the same panache. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Has anyone here seen The Omega Man? I recall seeing the ending in a hotel, and my impression was that they really didn't understand the reverse-van Helsing aspect of the Vincent Price movie and doubled down on Heston's bible movie image.

Am I right, or did I misinterpret it?

I worry that if a vampire-zombie apocalypse happens today, I won't be able to find a paper map to mark off all my kills.

#monsterdon

@jonny a) if it's me. b) if it's Vincent Robert Morgan. But there's a lot I'd have done differently from him. #Monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

For those of you scrolling through your timeline, you're about to hit a big mass of Monsterdon postings about The Last Man On Earth (1964).

Should you not wish to read through them, here's how to filter them out, at least on the web browser:
1) right click on the gears & open in a new tab
2) choose "Filters" then "Add New Filter"
3) give the filter a title, check all boxes under contexts, choose hide completely and put "#Monsterdon" in the keyword box.
4) Click on "Save New Filter"

... and you're done.

Isn’t he OUT of gas?? and has a whole live flaming fire pit? Sir, WTH! #monsterdon

sadly was unable to make it to #monsterdon tonight. i've seen the movie before so i may still spend some time going through all of your toots 👀

@peltast We saw the generator, though. He also had one at his house so it's not unreasonable to me to suggest he set one up at the grocery too.

And we can assume he put the garlic there himself as part of his daytime provisioning, that's not unreasonable to me.

However there's no way in hell a walk-in keeps all that shit fresh for three years.

@MylesRyden Things have been hectic for a long time now, who can keep up? #monsterdon

@nev We decided, he was more a co-worker friend-of-the-family "uncle" than an actual brother-in-law of Vincent Robert Morgan. #Monsterdon

@jonny Leave a note with some nice poetry? #Monsterdon

@Louisa If your expectations were set for “campy” it hits harder? #Monsterdon

looks like in this movie the price was wrong #monsterdon

@Configures @holly Think so, yep. Probably Dr. Robert Morgan. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon everyone else: he did not get stage directions on throwing grenades
Me: actually he's just really faggy about it and that's just his grenade throwing style

@holly I think Virge called him Robert, so that was his first name, and Morgan was his last name? #Monsterdon #TheLastManOnEarth

I kept making jokes throughout the film about this being in Pasadena, but apparently the whole thing, including the church scenes, was filmed in Italy #Monsterdon
