the perfect place to roast some marshmallows.

#monsterdon

Wow. The line around the castle. I could've cut it better with safety scissors

#monsterdon

It's a Mad Mad MAd Coach ride #monsterdon

“Please, Dr. Bedlo is my father, call me Rexford.”

#Monsterdon

Enter Boris Karloff!!!

#Monsterdon

Remember when movies were well lit?

I miss that.

#Monsterdon

I like that the castle has accessible automatic doors #monsterdon

Vincent is having such a good time, and is so timing-perfect on his cues (e.g. for all the overdubbed sounds there that they couldn't have heard on-site). His acting elevates what otherwise would have been an extremely dull film.

#monsterdon

And not much of an actor. Shatner has a greater range

#monsterdon

Corman didn't waste any budget on the matte painter.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon someone should turn this into a D&D one-shot.

Circus music because everyone knows being in a carriage driven by a madman is just hilarious #monsterdon #theraven

LIVE FROM NEW YORK IT'S SA-oh

...never mind. #Monsterdon

oooh they got the rubber squeaky rodents

#monsterdon

We're off to see the wizard 🎵
#monsterdon

Rexford is overcome with a maniacal fit as Grimes was before him! The carriage rocks wildly, Estelle is terrified as four horses and four humans careen along a narrow path high above a crashing sea.

The music, on the other hand, plays the scene along like a merry comedy.

The fit passes as Rexford and co approach a matte painting of a foreboding castle!

#monsterdon

No one will be seated in the infamous hilarious hat testing scene from The Raven!
#Monsterdon #TheRaven

That wasn't a very well drawn bridge

#Monsterdon
#TheRaven

"There it is. A painting of a castle!"

#monsterdon

Was Enter the Gladiators copyrighted in the 60s?

#Monsterdon

I don't remember anyone saying DIABOLIC MIND CONTROL. Except for that once where he said DIABOLIC MIND CONTROL. #monsterdon

that's too bad, the other matte shots were pretty good

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

There wolf! There... castle!

#Monsterdon

A little taste of Jack Nicholson's "The Shining" character.

"Heeere's Johnny!"

#monsterdon

This music is not matched well. We have circus music paired with diabolical horse driver scaring everyone.
#Monsterdon

The soundtrack is making sure we don't believe they're taking this seriously #monsterdon

"Don't you think you'd better go a little slower?"

That's what SHE said! #monsterdon

Please smash Nichelson's face

#monsterdon

lol, Jack disassociating while a woman talks .

#Monsterdon

Day for night. Drink!

#Monsterdon

day for night

never works

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

We have BAD DAY FOR NIGHT!

#Monsterdon

This movie feels like it's being ad-libbed in real time.
#Monsterdon #TheRaven

“HERRRRRREEEE’S JOHNNY!”

#Monsterdon

Erasmus disarms and overpowers the maniacal Grimes with bright green midair finger painting!

Grimes seems now to be restored to old self, his fit of blind murderous rage now dispelled.

Enter Rexford, Dr. Bedlo's son! The family resemblance is weak, but no weaker than between Erasmus and Estelle.

#monsterdon

@allanb Satan called, he wants nothing to do with this! #Monsterdon

This is the kind of movie where a guy's dad's corpse reanimates and they're just like "huh crazy" and close the coffin and it is never mentioned again
#monsterdon

Alright, I'll say it.

I want Vincent Price's hat. It would look fantastic in this Owlbear.

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

this axe fight is ridiculous. OLE! #monsterdon

I think the people who made this #Monsterdon were victims of some sort of diabolic mind control but I'm here for it anyways

There was an MTV spot that a clip from M with Lorre running. He had the MTV logo on his back

#monsterdon

if aged horror movie actors playing beefing wizards isn't your jam, I don't know what to tell you

#monsterdon

Vincent Price shooting lasers, so it's now Star Trek? #monsterdon #TheRaven #TheRaven1963

Storming No 10 tomorrow with my Vincent Price Laser Finger, the New World will be born!

#Monsterdon

*pew * pew*

DIABOLIC MIND CONTROL

#Monsterdon

According to the soundtrack we are in a circus now

#Monsterdon

"she can't help us"
she did more than you in that last fight, bro, let's not hear anything further from you.

#monsterdon

The banter between these two XD XD XD

#Monsterdon #TheRaven #VincentPrice

DIABOLIC MIND CONTROL!

Vincent. Dude. You can make that sound a _lot_ more diabolical.

#Monsterdon

Remember when this had anything vaguely to do with a poem?

We were so young back then...

#monsterdon #theraven1963

That's so Craven.

#Monsterdon

I need to read The Raven again, a lot I don't remember at all
#monsterdon

You just have your wife's corpse in a little room right beside your study? o.0

#Monsterdon

pew pew pew

#monsterdon

Lasers! Pew pew!
#monsterdon

What? Lazer finger? In this economy?
#Monsterdon

Finger lasers. #monsterdon

why is any of this?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon fingerguns

@Lazarou

We've got Peter Lorre as the Raven, perhaps the Giant is the Parrot?

#Monsterdon

oh wow he cast magic missile?

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Peter Lorre would have made a good Rincewind.

#Monsterdon #TheRaven

Never have I seen such unconvincing axe wielding

A-plus evocation of bull fighting music by the composer, though
#Monsterdon

Lol what, is this a slasher movie now

#Monsterdon

Yeah, that cloak will subdue the Giant...

#Monsterdon

Thanks, @Cherizilla

#monsterdon #TheRaven

10 minute long dress-up party #monsterdon #theraven

Throw a cloak over him and he's out like a bird? #monsterdon

Imagine if this had a completely different soundtrack that gave it a more serious and menacing tone.

#Monsterdon

Let me axe you something

#Monsterdon

He's not very good at this axe thing

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Ok, Vincent doing slapstick is the best.

Beware the hair!

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

TRIVIA: Peter Lorre was hired to play the raven only after the original raven flew into a freshly cleaned window at the Chateau Marmont

#monsterdon

Bonk count: 4

#monsterdon #theraven1963

@Taweret you know how much a script writer costs!!!!
#monsterdon

LOVE Estelle’s gown!!!! #Monsterdon

That's it, next time I see some shit at work I will just quote Vincent Price "THIS PROFANATION SHALL BE ENDED"

#monsterdon #TheRaven #TheRaven1963

I definitely should have dropped out of 1.5x speed by now but that fight scene sped up was peak Toons 😂

#Monsterdon

I don't want to be choked to death by a cap, I want to be choked to death by a

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Are they going to do each other's hair and nails next? #Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

wizard robe unboxing grwm ASMR #monsterdon

Gotta CAREFULLY fold the velvet draperies before opening that coffin!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon It's Libarace's rag closet.

Not gonna lie, I feel kinda silly trying to crack jokes at this; this movie is funny enough on its own

#Monsterdon

this Lorre needs a jacket scene just keeps going

#monsterdon

This dude goes on about his equipment more than a frat-boy. #monsterdon

Lol at Lorre casually tossing the carefully folded cloth.

#Monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai Record for fastest bingo?

#Monsterdon

Does Kronk only have a bit part in this nonsense? What a waste, he's so good in Emperor's New Groove

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

so hes human again so it seems like we should be done

#monsterdon

So, does Vincent just, like, routinely open all the coffins in his house just to check on his family?

And why does he keep them in separate rooms??? #Monsterdon

He threw the cloth! Hahaha!

#monsterdon

I see they hired one of the incidental music composers from Star Trek (The Original Series) for this film

#monsterdon

I feel like this house has a higher than average number of coffins #Monsterdon

hey, buddy, my dead wife's eyes are up here #monsterdon

"i keep her here"

"where else?"

🤣 he DOES have a lot of coffins

#monsterdon

@MatthewTitus88 They’ve got Lorre on a step, while Price is leaning down just a little in each close-up scene.
