"I didn't mean it"
Thus ends another #monsterdon
I'm not sure I have a lot to say about this one. Clearly quickly made, with super low budget, felt more like a series of skits than a movie, and I'm not sure how the ending was supposed to land, but it didn't work for me.
Regardless, thank you everyone for tooting along. And as always, thank you @Taweret for hosting.
@miru did you set it up to autoroll into the musical?
@Taweret I thought it had a lot of good moments in it, and i can see how some twisted fucks turned it around into a delightful musical ;)
but without the remake... would we remember this movie? :D
So the protagonist fucked off into the plant for sudden ending. Thanks for the trip down memory lane @Taweret and the #monsterdon gang!
Thanks, @Cherizilla.
The moral of the story is that you can get away with capital murder if you're a plant #monsterdon
in retrospect, I guess it's good I went the veg route for dinner tonight π₯΄
That was a seriously abrupt ending. Epic #monsterdon
Good times at the old #monsterdon
I THOUGHT that was Dick Miller!
Climbing into the plant with a knife? What?
but he WAS in a toilet, a toilet of his own design #Monsterdon
@allanb don't throw rocks randomly
unless you need some human flesh for your plant I guess
Ah, the classic "ran out of time" ending
What could possibly go wrong, walking into a man trap? #monsterdon
#Monsterdon #LittleShopOfHorrors1960
Yeah, that was a different ending. Audrey Jr. didn't get knifed after all? Lordy.
THE END.
Not much on the bingo card tonight either but I did eke out a bingo.
#Monsterdon *mind blown* haha nice
ok that was good fun everybody
now
if you *haven't* see the musical version, you should rememdy that RIGHT NOW
"I didn't mean it!"
...Okay. I guess? #Monsterdon
This is how I expect to go out...after the melon plants in my front lawn finally get a hold of me.
@Lazarou Corman just got tired of continuing #monsterdon
Another #Monsterdon is in the can!
Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!
Tonight's feature, #LittleShopOfHorrors, from 1960, was another Roger Corman film. This time we had a carnivorous plant that was always hangry. This showcase of reverse veganism also provided,

The famous toilet shot! #Monsterdon

Save on vehicles!
The hearse and coffin were donated by a funeral home. So was the corpse inside.
"we cut thread and pipe" vs "we cut, thread, and pipe" WHICH IS IT
More films should have junkyard tire chases. #Monsterdon
Cars had huge wheels back in 1960.
I am supposed to find this chase scene exciting, but I'm not keeping up my end of the bargain #monsterdon
don't you just want to go plant shit?
Script: $10

I don't need anyone to help me budget this, I'm not spending anything on this movie
How do those pigs run so fast on their flat feet?
#ACAB #monsterdon
Digested corpses in your flowers certainly makes a Rose Bowl float stand out
Why? Why all the running urchins?
Feral Subway Children! #Monsterdon #LittleShopOfHorrors
What is the moral of this story?
"NO"
TRESPASSING
Is she the only sex worker in town? #monsterdon
The plant solved the case
#monsterdon
keep expecting some three stooges sound effects in this chase scene π₯΄
#monsterdon
@Lazarou Iβm sure theyβll hold up in court. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon oh nice, that's an interesting twist vs the more familiar to me musical storyline :D
The percussionist returns, refreshed #monsterdon
i love that mom was a flapper and still wears the same shit
In the morning, a horde of botanical fangirls have gathered outside of the shop to give seymour an award and shower him with glory. The mom is there because her son is getting an award, and the cops are here because they think there are murders (they are right but probably also wrong).
Does Audrey II vomit out the bones or digest them as well?
#Monsterdon π₯¬ πͺ π§ π±
is that mom dressed as a flapper? It's really hard to tell who's who
Whoβs the young Stockard Channing type? Leonora Clyde? #monsterdon
#monsterdon Flip a coin, I don't have a coin. Flips A ROCK and knocks her out... DRUGS.
Cops being useless, on point
#monsterdon
Cause trophies make you a botanist π #Monsterdon
why is there even this cop narration framing device
And that, boys and girls, is why you never flip a rock!
#monsterdon "wet or dry"? hummunah!
#Monsterdon Why was he allowed to keep making films?
tuboni
#monsterdon
#Monsterdon sorry seymore girls don't like to be treated like a piece of meat (*exceptions apply)
"She better have a dick...."
#monsterdon Wonder what Clyde's real voice is like?
what is even going on right now
How's The Rain On The Rhubarb?
My name is Leonara Clyde and I was overdubbed in post. #Monsterdon
Thatβs not just Yiddish. That a bizarre set of prepositions. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Vegan hypnosis was not in my bingo card
@Lazarou I would say Audrey was probably wrong to get involved in the first place but now that she's already embedded in this weirdness she might as well ride it out
#monsterdon Hypno-plant! "Yes, Master!"
when did the plant learn hypnotism
#monsterdon Ma reminds me so much of my mother. "I'll just go to an alley and curl up and dieβ - "What's keeping you? Get on with it then... I call you on your toxic bullshit Boomer.β hahahahahah
Maybe a date hanging out with a human eating plant was not the greatest idea
#monsterdon
#monsterdon the Krelborns living on a laxative based diet is kind of funny, PB&J being exotic foodstuffs and all.
@Bluedepth The shot only happens if the countdown ends at the same value regardless of the path it takes through the complex plane
#monsterdon You want to eat me, Seymour??
boy's never tasted food that's like...food
don't cry for me, auderytina
@Lazarou Not to worry, just a blood pressure cuff.
I am enjoying this stretch where the tympani player is taking a smoke break #monsterdon
I could use a food that shrinks my sinus tissues.
Ma better become plant food. Sheβs horrible.
@Lazarou nah just autoerotic kneehammering. #Monsterdon
Hiding in the flower refrigerator is very smart #monsterdon
I have a BINGO #MonsterdonBingo #Monsterdon
Fucking hell is the ma injecting heroin now?
nom :3
#monsterdon
The plant knows when to play ball. #Monsterdon
now don't you try to SNOW me biff
#Monsterdon #LittleShopOfHorrors1960
Another musical reference. This is def a musical-ish production.
Gonna get rid of the plant, gonna say good bye, Mushnick said. "Aloha! Oy!"
lol, are they just going lure vagrants and junkies into the flytrap?
so #monsterdon is just all obscure jack nicholson films, huh
We donβt call people a βlouseβ enough these days.
@diazona Going straight from "I barely know you" to "meeting the family" is a pretty serious jump in relationship status (for adults maybe, maybe I'm vastly overestimating their ages?).
#Monsterdon At least Audrey Senior knows self preservation.
Maybe she should give the sulphur powder to the plant!
Cod Liver Oil, good for the colon!
See Seymour, your date will have a nice healthy colon! #monsterdon
kettle von fish, no doubt the next character to come on the stage.
