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

How bad's the movie? Well, it's no Invasion of the Star Creatures, put it that way. #Monsterdon

That's a fight scene
#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 #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

You know, it doesn't do for an adaptation to be *too* faithful to the source material. Sometimes you have to have a little fun

#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

@CactuarJoe

Affects resale value

#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 suspect Peter Lorre was drinking the wine for real during the filming of this #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.

#Monsterdon

Should your dead relatives be so easily accessed?

#Monsterdon

"My rotted visage is up here, asshole"

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

A Wife In Two Places

Wife Cloning?

MAGICIAN TRICKS?!

#monsterdon

(slaps the roof of the coffin)

"This bad boy can fit so many lost Lenores"

#Monsterdon

So, the message has to be important if your old man comes back from the dead to tell ya. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🐦‍⬛ 🕸️ 🏰 😱

I think that the gathered shoulders of Price's silver brocade doublet are underappreciated

#monsterdon folding the cover carefully together, then Lorre just tossed it aside :)

BEWARE!! Beware of the extremely slow-moving grab of your collar!!

#Monsterdon

So does that mean his father is only "mostly dead"?

#Monsterdon #TheRaven

Dr Scarabus has been slipping it to Lenore?!

#Monsterdon

This movie is so quotable #monsterdon #TheRaven #TheRaven1963

MAGICIAN FIGHT

MAGICIAN FIGHT!!

#monsterdon

Peter Lorrie
#monsterdon

What year is this supposed to be?

"I saw her there, this evening ..."

Time to check the coffin!

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Price was 6'4", Lorre 5'3". #monsterdon

@trixter such a party killer #Monsterdon

youre really wasting Price if you're not making him the bad guy

#monsterdon

milk spit lol
#Monsterdon #TheRaven

A corpse telling you to beware seems like really bad vibes.

#monsterdon #TheRaven

Nothin' like a good old-fashioned drunken spellfight!

#Monsterdon

the less raven he gets the less i like him. this is just like beauty and the beast

#Monsterdon

Roderick C Raven?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
My husband beat me at bingo! 😅

"oh come _on_ gramps I just wanted to cut your hair" #monsterdon

The corpse is trying to tell him to not sign a contract with Rodger Corman.

#monsterdon #theraven1963

"If I was sober, which I admit is not often…"

- The Owlbear, 7 years ago.

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

whoops, looks like papa minds after all.

#monsterdon

That is one heckin’ well preserved corpse

#Monsterdon

Lugosi fell on hard times, and did some bad movies, but he didn't do this

#monsterdon

Would dead man's toupee work? #Monsterdon #TheRaven

Peter Lorre in a birdsuit I can't even 🤣 #Monsterdon

"...we only have one Iron Maid .... en"

#Monsterdon #TheRaven

Vincent taking his physical comedy cues from the bird! 🖤

#Monsterdon #TheRaven #VincentPrice

#Monsterdon Good lord they're professors arguing.

@diazona

If you get the evaporated bat's blood that's made in Mexico for export to the USA, they use real cane sugar!

#Monsterdon

He was known as Grand Master Flash

#monsterdon

@bunnyhero Damned if you do, damned if you don't. #monsterdon

It's Peter Lorre! #monsterdon

@shaunduke will be delighted

this is SOME BACKSTORY

#monsterdon

bros, stop talking about “grand masters” and “mastership” #monsterdon

Vincent is reading all of his lines like he's lying his ass off and I love it

#Monsterdon

"He only used his hands?"

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Van Dyke would've danced with cartoon penguins and banged Julie Andrews by now

#monsterdon

…and the sound track is trying desperately to convey humour.

#monsterdon

He has a basement jail, as one does.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Is it too late to vote for a different film this week?

i'm watching on tubi tonight because the youtube version i was going to watch had bad audio. so i've got ads this time

#monsterdon

So, we're going full horror comedy with three of horror's greatest hams.

This is awesome!

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

EAP rolling in his grave every time this movie is run, this script is pure sorcery.

#monsterdon
#TheRaven1963

This film is even wackier than I remember. I first saw it when I was a pre-teen and loved it but.... i'm a bit embarrassed about that now 😅

#monsterdon

Peter Lorre in his raven costume, this is *exactly* what I would look like at goth/industrial night at a club

#monsterdon

enter the convenient family crypt.

#monsterdon

Wacky hijinx music to a story (vaguely) based on The Raven is certainly a _choice_.

#Monsterdon

I miss Vincent acting across from the bird. Can we have the Raven back? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Vincent Price and Peter Lorre just had fun doing this didn't they

Go to LIDL and get more dead man's hair!

#Monsterdon

Family crypts are so convenient.
#Monsterdon

Spoil the dead? At night? That's a daytime activity!
#Monsterdon

I'm only a dozen minutes in and this is already got a gently bonkers vibe, no notes, I love it!

#Monsterdon #TheRaven #VincentPrice

dead man's hair? so if we kill peter lorre, he's still got some hair, technically...

#monsterdon

Peter Lorre does NOT like his outfit! #monsterdon

@blogdiva it looks soooo uncomfortable #monsterdon
