#monsterdon The cycle repeats

This family has a real talent for coming back from the dead

#Monsterdon

Twist
#monsterdon

Did the pendulum dude charge by the swing or something?
#Monsterdon

wuh-oh he's gone off the deep end

#monsterdon

Is it just me or is this starting to turn into a medieval The House on Haunted Hill? #Monsterdon

Still waiting for someone to get pendulated. Or would it be pendulified? #Monsterdon

Elizabeth. Oh honey. You just broke Vincent Price.

HOW DO YOU THINK THIS IS GOING TO GO FOR YOU.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon She's a sadistic individual

@athena_rising

YES but I thought I was the only one. #Monsterdon

boooooooooooooooo #monsterdon

Wait, are they about to Scooby Doo this shit? Is the doctor making a play for Nick's real estate? #Monsterdon

i love Barbara Steele #monsterdon

Working title, The Gaslight and the Pendulum.

#Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

Told you those stairs were a safety issue. #monsterdon

HOW did he not break his neck on those stairs #Monsterdon

they were experienced enough together and he hasn't said their safeword so this could be some elaborate kink scene she had set up for months and he is just playing along #monsterdon

I knew that Doctor was up to something

#monsterdon

That was one tame white rat #monsterdon

Say it again with me: Nicolas! Nicolas! NICOLAS! #monsterdon

Legit screeched when the coffin started creaking open!

#Monsterdon

@BsCreativeLife animated spiders have six legs like animated humans have six fingers (plus thumbs). it's just easier and most people don't notice!

#monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

Vincent Price like you've never seen him before

#monsterdon

have SOME self preservation instinct to put your hand up in the air while you walk around the spiderweb halways. at least close your eyes #monsterdon

I'll check this floor.

You two check the one below.

Scooby, you and Shaggy go check the kitchen!

Roh-kay! #monsterdon

A special guest star! Hello little buddy. How are you? Did you get enough cheese on set?
#Monsterdon #PitandthePendulum

Vincent Price walking into a mouthful of spiderwebs, A+ work sir

#Monsterdon

Riiiiicolaaaaa.... #monsterdon #thepitandthependulum

The real estate agent never mentioned anything about a secret gothic playroom. #monsterdon

"Niiiiiiiiicholas!"

"Elizabeth?"

"Chief?"

"McCloud?"

#Monsterdon

No, she was saying "Ricola"

Common mistake

#Monsterdon

I desperately want Vince's bathrobe, that is *style* #Monsterdon

#monsterdon "Elizabeth?" "_riiiiicoooola_"

Yes, the heavy stone secret door blew shut.

#Monsterdon

That's 5 of us who said Ricola 😂

#monsterdon

Oh man, this is *classic* goth shit right here. I've never seen it played so straight! #Monsterdon

"Riiiccooolllaaa" #monsterdon

@allanb goddammit

you owe me a coke

#monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

"Ricola!" #monsterdon

riiiiiiiiiicola

#monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

#monsterdon He could be trapped down there now

"C'mon downstairs, Nick, I've got the wax warming up and the leather straps all ready for you!" #Monsterdon

we have 25 minutes left and that is just enough time to introduce, give ample stage time to, and conclude a pendulum character #monsterdon

#Monsterdon It would be so annoying to have strings play every time you extinguished a candle. I mean, have you seen how many candles are in this place?

Th doc is trying SO hard to woo the grieving brother. #Monsterdon

The psychological shift is demonstrated by the absence of the ruff collar.

#Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

Oh my sister was buried alive. Okay cool, sorry about being suspicious of this all
#Monsterdon

Really, if you're married to somebody played by Vincent Price, what do you expect to happen? #monsterdon

The haircuts are pretty medieval-looking

#monsterdon

As someone who has had to say "I think that I understand" in situations where I did not in fact understand anything, allow me to say "I think that I understand." #Monsterdon

@Taweret@octodon.social lawsuits across the Americas.... #monsterdon

I saw a literal pendulum in the trailer this is not a spoiler this is what the title promises #monsterdon

If I buried someone I loved because I thought they were dead and THEY WEREN'T, I'd blame myself too, no matter how ultra super great they were at looking dead

#Monsterdon

She may have still been alive, but I'm thinking being so well perforated in the 16th century didn't leave one with a good prognosis.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Rizzz

There can’t be too many flashbacks. #Monsterdon

"I'm a doctor of medicine. A bad one."

#monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

uh, i think nicholas has already left this place, it's just his body that hasn't gotten the hint yet. #monsterdon

The amazing thing about this movie is it gives the illusion of having a plot but it absolutely does not. "Many things happening all in a row" does not qualify!

#Monsterdon

The sarcophagus vendor must've had a deal on the 'grey and sexy' series.

#monsterdon

See this is why you get a bell installed
#Monsterdon

Does concrete make a creaking sound?

#monsterdon

lol, she was alive then

"NOOOOOO!"

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Nope the Docs is sus

Sorry to disturb you Mr. Prospero. Wrong tomb. #monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

This movie doubles as a backwards adaptation of "The Cask of Amontillado" #Monsterdon

@jonny these guys need a flare gun

#Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

Oh no! She's a stone angel! Don't blink!

#Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

#monsterdon Oh heck they're going to exhume Elizabeth?? Poor Vincent Price looks like he is having a terrible time in the worst year of his life.

...uh and those pickaxes on the wall have a truly weird amount of reverb going on there.

Psycho music ripoff there

#monsterdon

#monsterdon "we will exHOOOM"

also, didn't they say it was only 3 months back earlier in the movie? That brickwork looks rather old, like even if they reused old bricks the pointing would look newer right?

If I had this level of phobia about being buried alive, I'd have my dead wife placed somewhere much more accessible than sealed inside a concrete wall. Just saying.

#Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

*Vincent Price hacks through the wall, a guy falls out*

"Thank God, I was just down here looking for a bottle of wine and—" #Monsterdon

"But first, let's all have a glass of this fine Amontillado…"

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Annnnnnnd he's having PTSD

Wait, WHAT? What kind of psychotherapy is that?!
"We will exhume your wife's dead body to help you get over the trauma."
#Monsterdon

Oh they're just looking for an excuse to do something morbid

#monsterdon

@Bluedepth Truly you are a painter with words :P #Monsterdon

oh no he's going to flood the basement when he misses with the pickax isn't he #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Agreeing to this movie without knowing it?

You don't need a secret passage to your wife's room.

She's your wife. You don't need to meet with her on the sly.

#monsterdon

Blame the maid, sure

#monsterdon

Best time time to go explore a secret passage is when you're on your own

#Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

the remake with Tim Curry and Madeline Kahn was funnier. #monsterdon

#monsterdon BRO GOING ULTIMATE DEACTIVATE MODE

Woot! Hidden passage. ✅ #Monsterdon

Nicholas has the vapors.

#Monsterdon

Don’t all castles have secret passageways? Haha! Here we go. #Monsterdon

Vincent coming out of the potty like - hey I am in the middle of something?

#monsterdon

I'm not sure this room makes any sense structurally, but damn it's a cool looking set.
#Monsterdon #PitandthePendulum

This is the part where the doctor really ought to be going MARINES, WE ARE LEAVING and getting the entire cast the fuck out of this spooky house.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Cloaks were the original hoodies.

Vincent Price's robe alone is worth the price of admission. #monsterdon

Vince has such a great Hurt Puppy expression. #Monsterdon

The feather duster! On the floor! How horrifying!

#Monsterdon

"...I was cleaning the room, and she spoke to me. She said, you missed a spot. Maria, you missed a spot."

#Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

Doctor be like "you want trauma I'll tell you trauma" #Monsterdon

I like the complete lack of banister, it's like a star war in its complete lack of regard for basic safety

#monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

The feather duster of DOOM!

#Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

Whaaat? And EA Poe story where someone is bricked into a cell, that’s a first. #Monsterdon
