Coffee table books were BIG back then. #monsterdon

The Doctor really looks like Danny whatshisface from the Mindy Project.

It was bugging me.

#monsterdon

also if i knew that someone's mother had been buried alive i would not tell them that why are you telling her that? wtf

#monsterdon

"No one else in the world knows. I have an _iron-clad_ NDA."

#monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

@Bluedepth They didn't expect to be screening this in front of an audience so recently well versed in proper spider behavior #monsterdon

I think this concludes my father's contribution to #monsterdon

@Taweret huh, this seems like an ongoing issue with Vincent Price. House on Haunted Hill with the death basement where they still had a pit of acid #Monsterdon

It's not often you see a guy faint in a film, but when Vincent Price does it....you believe him.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Harpsichord?

I guess they couldn't find a harpsichordist and hired an organ player during the edit?

#monsterdon He's a sissy

I feel bad for those of you looking to buy your first home, knowing most of you will never be able to afford a castle with a torture chamber, a thing we used to take for granted. #Monsterdon

I've gotta drop out of #monsterdon because the cat rescue needs someone to go pick up an incubator for an emergency case but y'all have fun, I'll look forward to catching up later!

@srol Makes you wonder what "Pendulum" was code for #monsterdon

Vampires would be right at home playing creepy harpsichord music, just sayin'

#Monsterdon

So Nicholas is permanently haunted and broken from that horrible childhood trauma, but he also forgot it all while he was courting and marrying what's her name

And presumably never told his sister this until after their father died or they'd both also be in danger

#Monsterdon

get your boots off the bed, you sloppy knave. #monsterdon

Truly, is there anything creepier than Catholicism? SPANISH Catholicism, at that? I think NOT! #Monsterdon

so this lady just secondhand childhood trauma dumped on this guy to get him to believe that vincent price was fine? #monsterdon

the exterior shots of the castle remind me so much of those late 90s Sierra Interactive games that i may have to go play Stonekeep after this. #monsterdon

Nice ocean view at this place. #monsterdon

I keep thinking the sister must be a Bene Gesserit with that head piece.

#Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

I wonder if they're using some of these camera effects on the flashbacks to hide that they're wearing some of the same costumes as the present day stuff

#Monsterdon

Is he, you know, *gestures* "unable to live as other men"? #Monsterdon

these hellish instruments

ah

the cromhorn and the vuvuzela

#monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

Oh, I get it. They are in the "pit of despair". #thepitandthependulum

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe @rberlim The Pit Awakens #monsterdon

No one expects Vincent in his inquisition robes. #monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

someone needs to turn the humidity down in that sex dungeon, filming is getting really difficult. #monsterdon

I have some questions about how exactly the Doña knows every detail of this childhood flashback. 🤔

#Monsterdon

I find it hard to believe neck ruffs have been in style THAT long. #Monsterdon

It's a family affair. #Monsterdon

@Lazarou Somebody would definitely try to get kinky around the nuclear waste

#Monsterdon

The wooden voice-over makes me think she's lying.

#Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

Once, when it was bring your child to work day... #monsterdon

"i would like to... read my lines before the scene starts, but this ruffle ain't gonna ruff itself." #monsterdon

Oh it’s perfectly normal to have torture devices in the basement of a castle, nothing suspicious about that at all. #Monsterdon

this guy looks like an extra in gerry and sylvia anderson's UFO, particularly with this haircut

he'd be, like, a pilot from moonbase that gets blown up a third of the way into an episode

we never knew his name

#monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

Oh to be served breakfast in bed and painted by Vincent Price in a flashback.
Sometimes with a doctor.
#Monsterdon #PitandthePendulum

@socketwench Sadly, she died of horror upon learning that there is no yaml file that doesn't have something wrong with it

#Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

Elizabeth - sounds like arsenic poisoning in this flashback.

Bad blood, then heart attack/died of fright, now death by Iron Maiden.

#Monsterdon

Sorry I keep making up more and more outlandish stories about your sister's death but, you see, I'm Vincent Price and this scenery isn't gonna chew itself

#Monsterdon

So she died of fright? Not the iron maiden she was in? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Suit of armor or suit of amor?

Oooh, the eating disorder will be the real monster

#Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

"I came upon her wandering the corridors by night, in a filmy nightgown, with a candle…it was too late…she had contracted Gothic Heroine Syndrome" #Monsterdon

"I tried to find out why she replaced the blue light bulbs in her room with purple, but SOMETHING KEPT HER FROM ME!"

#Monsterdon

oo, a PURPLE filter, that's how you know it's bad. #monsterdon

Didn't expect "infernal air" to be the monster, do you think it'll show up in a rubber suit?

#Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

More like Onlyfans, on second thought #monsterdon

The blue room David Lynch vibes....

#monsterdon

The vibes in this castle were too bad, they killed her. #monsterdon

Miasma!

#monsterdon

@nev a master in his prime #monsterdon #VincentPrice

maybe your sister was allergic to cobwebs #monsterdon

Died of fright? Is this a prequel to the Tingler!?
#Monsterdon #PitandthePendulum

Your depravity is a totally different one

#monsterdon
#ThePitAndThePendulum

"What was my sister doing [in the torture chamber]??"

"She could not keep herself away."

Oh I see, it's like that huh

#Monsterdon

I'm starting to think what killed her was the Funky Cold Medina

#Monsterdon

So, this is the kinky sex room
#Monsterdon

This is where you find out your sister was into some kinky shit. #Monsterdon

Well, I did not expect the Spanish Inquisition. Because I haven't read the original.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I really like the dark style and aesthetic.

ah yes, """torture""" chamber. #monsterdon

@paco the #BlackAdder vibes in this #Monsterdon are strong

Vincent Price is so good I kinda hate the brother even though he has every right to be upset #Monsterdon

We call this "The Pit"

#monsterdon
#ThePitAndThePendulum

A tingler killed the late wife #monsterdon

Will all these portentous portraits I hope we get this one too

#Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

The doctor looks a lot like #MrBean #monsterdon

we didn't want to have to tell you this. but your sister died of Normal Butt Disease

#monsterdon

Why miasma of course!

#monsterdon

They never sit on the same couch while watching movies. #Monsterdon

All death is inevitable. #Monsterdon

"Will you join us in a glass of wine?"

My mom: "Will we all fit?"

#monsterdon #thepitandthependulum

"The coloring, the same configuration"

The same transmission and crankshaft #Monsterdon

"' 'ere, speaking of your sister, smell my...."

"NICHOLAS!!!"

#monsterdon

I meant to post this earlier. Nicholas should light the lantern. It would do more good. #monsterdon

Ah yes, "Doctor" prior to the late 19th century, where you could just call yourself a doctor if you knew how to pull teeth out of someone's head with a pair of pliers and have them not die on you (maybe)

#monsterdon

"Cum with me. Please cum."
Oh Vincent is into it too. Let's gooo!
#Monsterdon #PitandthePendulum

I just jumped in and fast forwarded the movie to catch up!
#thepitandthependulum #Monsterdon

please go, sir, leave Vincent alone with the bedpost. #monsterdon

Clutching the bedposts in despair. I'm sold. #monsterdon #thepitandthependulum

Those old collars look really uncomfortable.

#monsterdon

My mom is really getting into this. "She played a MEAN harpsichord." #Monsterdon

that painting whips i hope it gets more than one second of screentime #monsterdon

That portrait isn’t at all creepy. Nope. #Monsterdon

A man who's twitchy about the slightest sounds made by the servants is THOROUGHLY sane and stable, oh my yes.

#Monsterdon

ambush maid

#monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

damn sneaky maids

#monsterdon

#monsterdon The look on his face was sus, It's like he had something to hide hmmmmmmm

I've never participated in #Monsterdon but some of my friends do...
It's always funny to see their toots as it's happening without knowing what's happening 😂

"The atmosphere is heavy in here"

Yeah, Corman never had what I'd call a light touch. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
The roof on my bed needs more little tassel balls.

“Will you stay the night?”

“The night and more sir 😏😏”

#monsterdon

I'm trying to watch #monsterdon but my teenage son dropped a MASSIVE jar of minced garlic onto the stone floor of the kitchen, and I have to listen to my boys complain and clean it up.

This ceremonial sword that our dude has hanging on his belt better get some use

#Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum

"Who are you?"
He says it in such a dismissive way. Whoever you are you are far beneath Vincent.
#Monsterdon #PitandthePendulum

My mom just walked in and said "Oh, more Jesuits." (We were just watching Shōgun) #Monsterdon

@ottaross I hope the wifi is up to snuff #monsterdon

I’m beginning to understand why the coach drive wouldn’t take him up #Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum
