SERIOUSLY> WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT NOISE? The sound track kind of exploded and fell over wetly.
#Monsterdon #PitandthePendulum
Is there a cask of amontillado behind that brickwork? #monsterdon #thepitandthependulum
He has not been well since the death? His own? Do we have a lich this early?
Oh a sister. Not his own death
#Monsterdon #PitandthePendulum
@ottaross It's gonna be hard to justify that five star AirBnB rating without a little sprucing up #monsterdon
#monsterdon This movie is more serious than goofy than I thought it'd be.
"...was this illness diagnosed?"
"Yes, and I named it ... the tingler!"
Pay no attention to the sound of the apparatus. It must be kept in constant repair.
I just love that there were times and places that having ruffles around your neck was considered aristocratic and smooth
"Hey hey, personal contact much?!"
Vincent is right to scowl at the man
LMAO Price you fabulous bastard!!!!!
VINCENT PRICE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!
Yeaaaah that's TOTALLY the look of a man who is thoroughly sane and stable.
VINCENTTTTTTTTTT β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
#monsterdon
HI! I'm Vincent Price, I'll take over from here. #Monsterdon

It's just someone flushing the toilet
"And this is our cobweb garden"
#monsterdon The costume design is great!
Lol not going to bother with an English accent then huh
#Monsterdon
We've got ruffles on the bingo card.
funky don medina? #monsterdon
The establishing shots in the forest were filmed on the edge of a forest fire, the fog is really smoke #monsterdon
FUCK YEAH MATTE PAINTING!
#Monsterdon #PitandthePendulum
#monsterdon begins by beating a dead corpse
If I lived in a castle, I wouldn't entertain casual visitors either
Especially bossy ones.
He can get it....
Antony Carbone, the Italians will yell at you if you put bacon in him. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon really digging this vibe
That guy's uber was rather unreliable. I suspect the driver is getting a low rating.
The actors were clearly getting paid by the word #monsterdon #thepitandthependulum
We join our characters early in the morning on Silly Hat Day #Monsterdon
Resin dirty pour, alcohol ink, marble effect aurora finish
Nothing says weird and artistic like starting off a movie with rivers of random colors and trippy music that's 80% silent
We're baaaaaack π
I'm at my parents' house tonight so my dad is joining us for this #Monsterdon. We just started and he whispered "I think I remember this..."
is this the paint and the pendulum? #monsterdon
Spilled paint or oil slick or creepy movie credits? YOU DECIDE!
I sure hope none of this teetering poorly stored paint spills. We got movie sign!!! #monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum
@ottaross I bet he called someone BartolomΓ© like 10 times before one person said βthatβs not meβ just one time. #monsterdon
In conclusion
@forestine @jonny Hope they greenlight a remake starring Adam Driver directed by Noah Baumbach #monsterdon
@Zerofactorial oh so roger corman was our monster friend for this film?
acceptable, carry on
@diazona @Taweret Maybe she had borrowed a dab of the wife's perfume #monsterdon
@paco Like "she's bad with knots" #monsterdon
@jonny holy _shirtballs_
@athena_rising yeah, I said the same somewhere up in the tootstorm. It's unnerving #monsterdon
@jonny @monsterdon Weird how the feed of your toots only got dumped to my client after the movie was already over, I suppose that's how federation works... #monsterdon
@blue Gravity-defying #monsterdon
@Zerofactorial well the good news is, you'll only have to pay once... #monsterdon
I feel slightly disappointed that prop gun didn't go off, and that there weren't any sword fights either #monsterdon
P. S. there was a "swingers"/pendulum joke in there but I couldn't quite figure it out
@paco m'kay
anyway good job everybody and thanks @Taweret for hosting
@jonny The paperwork all ways she's dead already. Unaliving her officially would just be so much hassle. #Monsterdon
17th century Doctor: Don't worry, you are all too distraught, I'll take care of everything.
Minions of 17th century Doctor: so, another grave-robbing then?
@srol He remembers the film, or the 16th century? #monsterdon
Wow, pretty good movie. Price had such a voice! Didn't expected the wife and doc. Thanks #Monsterdon
@jonny Ah, but nobody except the Doc (and Nicolas) knew she was still up and kicking! Our three survivors don't even know to look for her.
Of course, that leaves the puzzle of just who *was* walled up in Elizabeth's tomb.
@paco Only if you pay them off to keep silent #monsterdon
Got a few bingoes overall #monsterdon
Okay, I didn't understand that plot, but I don't think that matters so much. The mood was all right, so yay? #monsterdon
Thanks for hosting Roger Corman!
And of course @Taweret
#Monsterdon #PitandthePendulum
@allanb Not compared to many other #Monsterdon movies though
I'm still extremely unclear on whether the mixy-flowy paint is supposed to be a metaphor, and if so, for what.
@sundiesel they would have fixed that problem if they decided to do something with the torture chamber instead of saying nobody will ever go in it again. you'd think you'd want to get in there the next day and like clean up the bodies and make sure nothing else was down there at least and find her then #monsterdon
Well, that sure did end
Vincent Price was one of the best
#Monsterdon #PitandthePendulum
@moira There was a sea of color right there for the taking but I guess we can't be too picky
"He thought that I was..." - what? MAGA? #monsterdon
Man, that's a good one. On the strength of this movie Corman and AIP went on to make another 6 Poe based films. This is definitely one of my favs of them. Thanks @Taweret for hosting! #monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum
That was fun! Before he dozed off, my dad claimed to have seen this as part of an all day matinee in the mid 60s when he was a preteen, so it was neat to have my parents here before they started sundowning. Anyway, I better get out of here before they wake up and try to get me to stay in the night #Monsterdon
70s visual effects guys really loved these colored oil things.
Let's just assume the doctor is dead and leave him here, it's what he would have done for us
Tbh I was expecting the lever to just drop the pendulum, or at some point for it to just fall off and cut some folks open. Ah well.
Thanks @Taweret for hosting!
My take is that the only people who knew the wife was alive was dead.
#Monsterdon
@neia that makes a LOT MORE SENSE THAN THIS #monsterdon
Turns out the real monster is Man's Inhumanity against Man.
@jonny none of that set of people knew about her, though. I think it's okay.
Worst playground ride ever #monsterdon
#Monsterdon
RIP Roger.
Wow thanks friends for another lulzy Sunday evening #monsterdon #thepitandthependulum
sweet dreams #monsterdon
Oh yes, little portraits of the main cast over the end credits, delectable #monsterdon
I somehow think that wasn't the actual last line of the story IRL
@CactuarJoe hosted on his own pitard #monsterdon
oops, sorry, Liz. #monsterdon
maybe just clean it out....
#Monsterdon
Oh I guess blue suit guy just looks too much like the doctor but isn't.
#Monsterdon #PitandthePendulum
Dun dun dun #monsterdon #thepitandthependulum
What? Nothing's changed, Nick's still in the pits. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon This was a 10/10, and in the end the people got what they deserved.
Vincent Price, the original Sean Bean #monsterdon
She's awful knowledgeable about the controls for the pendulum ...
@jonny Strong use of a short amount of screen time though
Are Maximillian and the Don's sister well versed in the operation of this torture device, or do they just understand clockwork that well?
#Monsterdon #ThePitAndThePendulum
we've got all kinds of time
all kinds of time
#monsterdon she's a hero
How ironic, fell into his own pit. Died like a famous Super Mario Maker YouTuber. #Monsterdon
@neia so in the original story is it the brother who is cheating with the sister or what #monsterdon
I'm still SO baffled by Vincent's outfit #monsterdon #thepitandthependulum
