@aburka @ricci nice one 😂

#Monsterdon

For real though, the way that canvas was ripped up kinda made it look like a regular cubist portrait #Monsterdon

Put de kendle BECK #monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

he found more cobwebs! #monsterdon

That's it I'm just going to make this a vampire movie by sheer force of will

#Monsterdon

@ricci maybe we'll have a nearly headless Nick by the end of the movie #monsterdon

trashing one of its rooms is normal castle behavior, you can try and train them but sometimes they will return to their instincts and you can't fault them for that #monsterdon

jeez, everybody's an art critic these days. #monsterdon

Jeez, the painting wasn't THAT bad. :/ #Monsterdon

@Taweret This is totally gonna be a thing

#Monsterdon

@aburka Maybe they can get the ghosts to keep watch?

#Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

Someone doesn't like goth paintings.

#Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

No man in the universe can swoon like #VincentPrice
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Felt like a beauty and the beast moment.

This castle could benefit from a system of security cameras #monsterdon

Bechdel moment, but one of the women is already dead #monsterdon

Seems like a lot of problems would be solved in this castle by the simple introduction of an intercom. #Monsterdon

Noises Coming From Other Rooms: The Movie! #Monsterdon

have i mentioned that your mother was buried alive?

#monsterdon

The Doctor diagnoses GHOST!

#Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

We are so lucky nowadays our rooms are made of fragile drywall instead of actual rocks any more #monsterdon

called it https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/112465882379974163
#monsterdon

@sean out, damned spot, out

#Monsterdon

The main set of the castle is really reminding me a lot of that German Hamlet production that got riffed on Mst3k #Monsterdon

And suddenly the Dona’s clothing is from a different era entirely. #Monsterdon

Oh, by the way, you mother was walled up alive in a cell in the basement. Just thought I'd bring that up now instead of anytime in the last few decades.

#Monsterdon

Dutch angles FTW!

#Monsterdon

here, have another exterior shot, as a treat. #monsterdon #dontMindIfIDo

The harpsichord music was put there by Satan to deceive us #monsterdon

"You seem to forget that we all heard the harpsichord play."
"No, I have not forgotten it sir. It sucked big-time." #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Maybe this should have been titled The Dr. Lyon Mysteries instead.

And now I’m behind because the app crashed but that is not a harpsichord. #Monsterdon

"Servents? With motive and intent? I could more easily believe..."

#monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

WHY would you tell her that? FFS, man! #Monsterdon

So far neither pit nor pendulum… #monsterdon

"She was walled up, still alive"

Was she going on about amontillado as well?

#Monsterdon

Poe, is this your thing? Walling people up in your stories?

#monsterdon

@Taweret Doctor Sensitive over here >_> #Monsterdon

"Your mother was walled up in her tomb...alive"

Really playing the hits, here

#Monsterdon

@Taweret
Different people, different aesthetic choices

#Monsterdon
#PitAndThePendulum

For the love of God, montresor #monsterdon

@catzilla A jury has to certify it as dead beyond a reasonable doubt

#Monsterdon

"I'm afraid that I *Shatner pause* don't understand. #monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

She was only LIGHTLY tortured! #Monsterdon

i am just saying but you probably need to tune and maintain a harpsichord like every day when it's in a castle like that so i would be pretty suspicious of the claim that vincent price couldn't play #monsterdon

Clearly he's the killer. The movie is telling me so. So many movies tell me so. So often the villain. But Vincent Price is so damn charming I want him to get away with it. He can't be evil. He's so smooth. He got that rizz as the kids say.
#Monsterdon #PitandthePendulum

I lol'd when Vincent Price did his swoon #monsterdon

haha, bring that up just to make things more traumatic

#monsterdon

This guy is such a terrible doctor. #monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

The Doctor and the Butler(?) look too alike and I'm confused already

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon You know, this doctor is awfully touchy-feely with the ladies.

@Taweret and lose your chance to ever host a Vincent Price movie? smh #monsterdon

Vincent's a master fainter

#Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

I'll just close the harpsichord, why don't I. Just to discourage the ghosts, you know. As we do around here.

#Monsterdon

because if someone left me a castle and a room full of torture devices they had literally used to murder people, i would throw that stuff out but i guess im different

#monsterdon

@forestine @Taweret Ecological remediation is an overlooked element of horror movies *sagenod* #Monsterdon

And why is the servant dressed as a chess piece.

#Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

Vincent is carrying the entire movie. As is the set. #Monsterdon

@Taweret Right? Like, dude, you know you can move to another house, right?
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon The acting is a 10/10

"...hers?"
"No, it's a ring."

#Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

@athena_rising I'm just going to take this as more evidence of my vampire theory (or, less "theory" and more "wishful thinking", whatevs)

#Monsterdon

@Taweret Movers are so expensive though #monsterdon

Matt is a really good painter. Getting his stuff in so many movies.
#Monsterdon #PitandthePendulum

i too faint at the site of over priced paste jewelry. #monsterdon

Look around, you'll see a cigar burning in an ashtray. #Monsterdon

@Taweret yeah, but what about the _next_ inquisition? buy it all back?!

#monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

@Taweret@octodon.social But then they'd have to clean it, and they don't have the staff for that.

#Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

"Nicholas!"

<OMINOUS CHORD>

Damn, Vincent! That face!

#Monsterdon

"Men, men carry me to my bed.....take off those stiff ruffs.....get casual yeah....c'mon,....be fun"

#monsterdon

@lorgonumputz Well how do expect to be able to get a good bid for it all on eBay otherwise? #monsterdon

I T ‘ S A G H O A S T #monsterdon

Who's got eyes on Frau Blucher? #monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

The harpsichord, the harpsichord, it taunts me ... and we're picking out everybody who can't be playing it.

#Monsterdon

The screen has gone sideways! Tilting with madness! Beyond the Dutch angle!
#Monsterdon #PitandthePendulum

Jump scare! BINGO! #monsterdon

Nicholas, being attacked by his own turtleneck sweater #Monsterdon

Legit, harpsichords do have basically only one volume: LOUD. #Monsterdon

Yo, prop guy, things from the 16th century didn't all have to look old during the actual 16th century

#Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

@CactuarJoe I would ABSOLUTELY play this one-shot. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Child? She's not much younger than you.

Nice Tank/Fighter/Healer configuration there #Monsterdon

make with the freaking pendulum already #monsterdon

@jonny "My brother's a bad day and a stomachache away from being nutty as a fruitcake, but he's been fine so far! So you can trust him!" #Monsterdon

so they're saying that Elizabeth climbed into the iron maiden herself like some kind of Punky Brewster refrigerator situation? #Monsterdon

I mean this genuinely and not as a goof, the background paintings of the castle are pretty cool. Love how the angle makes it appear to loom over everything #monsterdon

My word! Sir Brit is walking around in a half-undone undershirt? Scandalous!

#Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

Is there a VP movie that doesn’t involve a church organ? #monsterdon

Flashback papa Price has different body language. Damn he was a great actor.
#Monsterdon #PitandthePendulum

did they even have therapy in ye olde #monsterdon

Why is there sphagnum moss on the statues?

#Monsterdon

The most dreaded instrument of torture in the whole castle

The crucifix

#Monsterdon

"Your sister's death came very close to driving him insane, Mister Barnett. And by very close I mean, my brother is completely fucking binkybonkers, so pro tip: don't go strolling around the castle in your dressing gown at night, mmkay?"

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

I presume John Kerr did better as a stage actor? Because he's giving the stiffest performance possible here.

#Monsterdon I'm not certain a corpse could deliver that monologue with less emotion. How much valium do you think she's on?

Edgar Allan Poe goes for the dark turn of events.

#monsterdon

is into: vincent price wearing a hood and hitting me with a sword while yelling adulterer (receiving) #monsterdon

These people need to sign up with Betterhelp #monsterdon

But Iron maidens are more of a made up thing than a real historical torture device. Showy shit for wax museums.
At least they weren't real torture devices back in medieval times. Maybe later?
#Monsterdon #PitandthePendulum

@forestine killing the torture chamber industry. #monsterdon
