@kcarr2015 Fair enough.

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

#Monsterdon

Closing credits were interesting so I guess I should remember the name of that producer too, huh. Les Baxter strikes again. So that's what a young Jack Nicholson looks like, but I see there's a James H. Nicholson in the executive mix. Well well well.
The End

@YsengrinWolf
True, true, but I chose to think the worst of Lenore, cuz she's mean! 💔

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Still, it was better than Maximum Overdrive, by a country mile

@SordidAmok 😆
#Monsterdon

@kcarr2015 We don't know if she actually killed another woman - she just came up with a dead body that looked close enough to her.

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

And the Raven, ever quipping, still is sitting, still is sitting

On the dark bronze bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;

And his eyes are bleary blinking like a wizard's who's been drinking,

Kaleidoscope o’er him streaming throws bright colors on the floor;

And my soul from out those credits that lie floating on the floor

Shall be lifted—nevermore!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Coffins R Us. #TheComedyOfTerrors

@Mjack Oh man, rofl, imagine if someone actually did that. Watch the movie for a book report and turned in a report about that! 😆

#Monsterdon

Muppet Show. Season 1. Episode 19. Vincent Price.
Let's go wash our eyes out with some decent comedy.
#Monsterdon #TheRaven

now, if you'll all excuse me, I need to get bossed around by a raven

#Monsterdon

Some actors don't have a gift for comedy, and they were in that movie

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Daughter and I have moved on to The Comedy of Terrors.

E no #monsterdon de hoje, vimos que quando você tem Vincent Price, Peter Lorre e Boris Karloff, Jack Nicholson é praticamente um figurante
#theraven1963

I think we need a quality movie next week. It’s been a while.

#Monsterdon

@strangefour That is always the way with #Monsterdon 😌

That was a long walk for a pun on quoth the raven nevermore.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Of course they're not dead. I never thought otherwise.

And they fucked off into… oh I don’t know. What happened again?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon TIL: Edgar Allen Poe invented force lightning, as well as those Dr. Strange Spell discs. #TheRavenMovie #RogerCorman #AmericanInternationalPictures

If you want to see a cartoon adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe that isn't 'cartoonish' might I recommend the classic 1953 UAP short Tell-Tale Heart, narrated by James Mason. Gorgeous and moody and 7 minutes long! #monsterdon

They killed the castle with fire...but the baddies survived in comical form...but they all lived happily ever after and...uh...what was the point of all this again?

THE END

Edgar Allen Poe is rolling in his grave...which I am sure is somewhere on Vincent Price's property.

This was certainly the most Saturday Morning Cartoon #Monsterdon we've had to date, but it sparked great Joy nonetheless. Thanks for the selection @Taweret !

This wasn't good, but it also wasn't bad. Actually I misspoke, this is pretty bad. #monsterdon #theraven

You in particular can go to hell for this horrible attempt at a hilarious soundtrack.
#Monsterdon #TheRaven

The moral of the story is that if you write a beloved poem specify in your will to be buried with your ears sealed so you don't hear what the studios do with it #monsterdon

His castle has plaster walls? #Monsterdon

I'm still kinda hung up on Leanore killing another woman to fake her own death.

I don't care how much cleavage she shows, that was not cool! 😬

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

@moira @dbendit 😆#Monsterdon

And this concludes a #monsterdon thread for “The Raven”!

This movie was Comedic. Tragically so.

#Monsterdon

now playing Glow Worm. Quite a musical repertoire.

@plaidtron3000 Aw, they should have had a chance at adoption first #monsterdon

BK getting flame broiled.

#Monsterdon

1 hr and 30 minutes was a good time frame.
#Monsterdon

It kinda looks like the Raven is stuck in a Christmas tree during the credits #Monsterdon

@apLundell Eh I thought it was a nice little pun

That "nice" is of course relative to the quality of the movie

#Monsterdon

Well! Of all the Poe adaptations I've seen in my life, this was definitely one.

Can't wait to see what's in store for next week! #monsterdon

Ok, raven-boy is a traitor, this movie is more subtle then I was expecting!

#Monsterdon

@strangefour EXACTLY

fuck you, movie!

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

The raven shuts up into the “see the cast take their bows”

Thanks for a fun romp, @Taweret and the #monsterdon gang!

Raven *is* Peter Lorre's Rightful Form #Monsterdon

Did John Williams score this?

#Monsterdon

I liked all the wizbiz in the movie but that may have been the most annoying Peter Lorre has ever been. #Monsterdon

@SRLevine Probably for the best.

#Monsterdon

The raven trainer deserves most of the credit here #Monsterdon

I feel like that last line could have been a bit more snappy

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

That felt like it was based more on Young Frankenstein than is was The Raven.
#Monsterdon

Vincent Price found the mute button

That was terrible

This is groaningly terrible!

#monsterdon

James Nicholson? Is Jack a nepo baby?
#monsterdon

everyone involved should feel very embarrassed

except the raven, who was, of course, marvellous

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

His wife is dead. Happy ending.

#monsterdon

These end titles are a little dizzying...

#Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial They were collapsed back into the quantum noise from which they were originally pulled.

#monsterdon #theraven

Bless this Mess

#monsterdon

Thanks everyone!

#monsterdon ok well I thought that was silly fun :)

OH NOES. The matte painting is on fire -- sort of...
#monsterdon

@Cherizilla My brain takes issue with "harmless"

#Monsterdon

wizard lasers! #monsterdon

Oh. That Take was amazing!
4th wall break.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🐦‍⬛ 🕸️ 🏰 😱

oh no please I just want to meet the actual raven that is all i need

Richard Matheson wrote it? Oh dear!

#monsterdon

I liked The Pit and the Pendulum better. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Wait, the line didn't even work.

We all knew it was going to end on that line, but they couldn't even give us a context where it makes sense!

So far the best version of the Raven by far. Also the only one I've seen.
#monsterdon

HE SAID THE THING!
#Monsterdon

Peter Lorrie perched above my pallid bust of Pallace, just about my chamber door. Perched there and sat.

And said nothing more.

#monsterdon #theraven1963

JAMES H. NICHOLSON presented?

So we have Jack Nicholson because of nepotism?

#Monsterdon #TheRaven

That was not "Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven"

#Monsterdon
#TheRaven

I wonder whether the puppies were okay during the tower collapse #monsterdon

I'm crushing your head - Kids in the Hall

#Monsterdon
#TheRaven

It's amazing that despite Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, and Peter Lorre, the crow steals the show here

#Monsterdon

Aaaannd we go out on a fourth wall break #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

So ends another #Monsterdon with the masterpiece, #TheRaven1963. Our thanks to @Taweret for hosting, and for everyone lurking and posting. And remember #Monsterdoners: He was the victim of some kind of diabolic. mind. control. (Lenore)

...Vince. C'mon. #Monsterdon

"...awwwww, cawwww mon!"

#Monsterdon #TheRaven

SHUT

#Monsterdon

I made you find your courage, frendo! #monsterdon

@thatdawnperson This film was ahead of its time before Trashing the Dress became popular #monsterdon

Ahhhh that's right, forgot there's supposed to be a raven involved #monsterdon

Well, that looks like #EndCredits for tonight's #Monsterdon. I don't know. It was pretty bad... I think #TheRaven was the best character... Oh well. I'm not sure how you make a 90 minute film out of a 7 minute poem... Well, very poorly...

the raven is the only person delivering a good performance in this film

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

#Monsterdon
Puppies!!!
Not on my bingo card either. Goodness.

Auld Lang Syne followed by Loveliest Night of the Year. How quaint.

Scanners did it better.
#Monsterdon #TheRaven

@SRLevine Might as well, yeah

#Monsterdon

@SRLevine Safe assumption

#Monsterdon

I guess the escape capsule worked.

#monsterdon

NM. I got played. #Monsterdon

Ok, while we're busy with the duel - can someone explain the Lenore situation? Was she dead? Is that a spirit? Is that her daughter? I'm so confused #monsterdon #TheRaven #TheRaven1963

AWE MOM, Finger Rays AGAIN?
#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe brimstone castles were common back then
#monsterdon

Yes, look at her dress #monsterdon

Erasmus is triumphant for some reason! Scarabus crumples to the floor, Lenore proclaims her delight at Erasmus's victory & tries to worm her way back into Erasmus's affections. The uncontrolled fire & architectural damage wrought be the wizarding duel pull down the castle around Scarabus and Lenore as Estelle, Erasmus, Rexford, and Birdlo Scooby-Doo/Super Metroid their way out of the collapsing structure. Now outside, they look back at the matte painting now engulfed in flames.

#monsterdon

@dbendit It was all the papier mache #monsterdon

Well it looks like the feed cut out for me at 1:18 min, so I'm just going to assume the wizard duel goes on forever.

#Monsterdon

So he just burned them like that? Cold. #Monsterdon

Oh no, the stream is down for me. Will it ever come back? I don't especially care

#Monsterdon

it must be really expensive to get wizard’s castle insurance #Monsterdon

FIRE! IN THE PAINTING!

#monsterdon

Come everyone! The Masque of the Red Death isn't far from here. It's a much better film; we'll be safe there

#Monsterdon
