#monsterdon I wil say this, the bird acting in this is actually pretty impressive andGAH PETER LORRE

#Monsterdon That's one demanding bird. I'd just turn him back into a bird.

@dbendit (thinking of all those ass cracks) #Monsterdon #MagicTheGathering

Ah Jeezus! It's Lorre

#monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai oh yes, that's how doctorates were invented

#Monsterdon

ENTER

HARVEY BIRDMAN

#monsterdon

With that kind of attitude you can shove the brew up your cloaca you sassy bird. #monsterdon

Vincent are you a wizard?
Or merely a painter of light.
#Monsterdon #TheRaven

It's been a great weekend of films at the watch parties. That all ends at #mondayactionmovie tomorrow, but in a fun way....#monsterdon

Peter Lorre!
#Monsterdon

A sorcerer's convention? Some kind of...magic gathering? #Monsterdon

It's Peter Lorre!

#Monsterdon

okay I _did_ think the raven was gonna take a bath in it.

it would be less unnerving than the swallowing noises.

#monsterdon

OMG it really is a Looney Tunes soundtrack 😂

I'm almost fully expecting to hear the raven bust out a "ehhhhhhhh, what's up doc"

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I also have trouble remembering the names of furries I meet at conventions

Those eyeballs look pretty fresh for 20 years old or more. #monsterdon

What happened at the sorcerer's convention STAYS at the sorcerer's convention

#Monsterdon #TheRaven

Estelle, could you come to the lab? A talking bird is negging me into making it a smoothie. #monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

🐦‍⬛TRIVIA EVERMORE 🐦‍⬛

All that anyone needs to imitate me is two soft-boiled eggs and a bedroom voice.
- Peter Lorre

#TheRaven1963

#monsterdon I wonder how much of this set it let over from the other Cormen/Price/Poe films.

Of course when you have access to Vincent Price you want to get as much footage of him opening boxes and reacting to their contents as possible. #monsterdon

He's not a necromancer; this is all his dad's stuff. He's a nepo necromancer
#monsterdon

How do you make a film with a scary soundtrack but cartoonishly goofy voices?

Oh wait, now the soundtrack is acting goofy, too.

#Monsterdon

Not Vincent's best cooking segment, unfortunately #Monsterdon

wood cowbell is a nice touch
along with xylophone and tuba
#monsterdon

Black Smoke, guess we don't have a new pope yet. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Wow, this voice and tone was quite a choice.

I always whisk my potions. It's the only way to get the consistency just right. #Monsterdon

EYEBALLS!!!

Y’all, the Raven from HOGFATHER (Terry Pratchett) would be *all* about those eyeballs!

#Monsterdon

well, the eyes are oddly fresh for being boxed up for 20+ years.

#monsterdon #theraven

I would be like, follow me Mr. Raven, all the ingredients you mention are right here in this crypt in the cellar…

#Monsterdon

listen, if he's anything like the other raven, that box full of eyeballs is exactly what he wants.

#monsterdon

Those eyes!
#Monsterdon

Thelonious Monk has a great tune called Eronel.

#Monsterdon

Entrails of troubled.... horse

OK, this film doesn't need any riffing.

#monsterdon

Weird that he has a new world tarantula in...where does this take place again? #Monsterdon

That's a Brachypelma hamorii!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon point of order: who the FUCK was that skeleton?

So be so rich you just 'forget' a whole subbasement to your castle...

#Monsterdon

Performed as Poe originally intended with jaunty sousaphone accompaniment. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon There he is! Gently tapping, no less!

Me wandering down to my sewing room, raven on my shoulder, covered in too much brocade, wondering when I should take care of this moustache....

#Monsterdon #TheRaven

Honestly I can't believe Vincent Price *wouldn't* have things like dried bats blood or rabbit lard kicking around #Monsterdon

Worried about what they did to the raven so it keeps its beak open
#monsterdon

#monsterdon Oh, Lenore! If only I had gotten a better portrait made while you were still alive!

CAW CAW BANG FUCK I'M DEAD

#monsterdon #theraven

@dbendit "No, we don't keep those things in our house! We're vegetarian!" #Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

"We don't have bats here, we're vegetarian!"

#Monsterdon

"We don't keep such things in this house, we're vegetarians." This movie is a fucking delight
#monsterdon

We are vegetarian!
#monsterdon

we're vegetarians????????

okay, this is not what i was expecting from this movie, but honestly, if Vince is enjoying himself, so am I.

#monsterdon

Vegetarians! Oh, how droll

#monsterdon

@Zerofactorial that Peter.....

#Monsterdon

Y'all I am dropping into Monsterdon and I like corvids.

#Monsterdon #TheRaven

That grin wasn’t acting, it was because it’s fun to have a corvid on your arm #Monsterdon

"That voice", yes that badly dubbed voice. #monsterdon

We're like 8 minutes in. Long way to go.

#monsterdon

IMDB says Vincent was not fond of his co-star because it would poop on his shoulder #monsterdon

The Ravens name is Vinny

#Monsterdon

Starting #Monsterdon late on 1.5x speed and this is way more enthusiasm than this poem deserves

Quoth the raven, "HOW THE HELL SHOULD I KNOW?"

#monsterdon #theraven

I was not expecting the raven to say "How the hell should I know?" Lmao

#Monsterdon

Raven is like: How dare you call me "monster" dickhead!
#monsterdon

eyyy we got a sassy raven heah #monsterdon

#Monsterdon LOL! Snarky bird!

magicians turned into crows naturally talk like AM radios

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

"How the hell should I know?"

--the Raven, aka the GOAT

#monsterdon

Okay, clearly that telescope's positioning is an ongoing conceo in the Price home.

So… move it?
#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

oh no i hate the raven now

#Monsterdon

I hate walking dick-first into my telescope, only to see an ominous bird immediately after #monsterdon

"Milk. How vomitable."

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Okay, the telescope has become a bit.

#Monsterdon

raven with attitude!

#monsterdon

quoth the raven, "gimmie some wine!"

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

HI HAWARYA

#monsterdon

Love the recurring telescope gag.

#Monsterdon #TheRaven

You can see the string on the bird! #monsterdon

Van Dyke would be doing prat falls over the medieval furniture

#monsterdon

I'm not sure that one should ever say "well, upon my soul..."
#monsterdon

So this movie really is about Poe's The Raven? I was really hoping it was a metaphor. I feel like I'm in junior high english class and the teacher has a hangover so we're watching this.
#monsterdon

Anyone at the door? No, it's just the redressed set of the Pit and the Pendulum, just how I left it. #monsterdon

If you're cold, they're cold. Let them inside!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Raven sign@!!

Raven just wants to say hi
#monsterdon

awww cute bird!

#monsterdon

We’re all appreciating the gorgeous brocade of his jacket, right??? #Monsterdon

Watch out for that telescope (again) ... nevermind.

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Price is great, but this really is a part for Dick van Dyke

#monsterdon

@gnomon Carol Burnett did it better? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I didn't get the title. Did anyone else?

Shouldn't the title of that book be "Forgotten Lore?" #Monsterdon #TheRaven

"Get over it Father, she wasn't my real mom"

Harsh

#Monsterdon

for a moment I thought that was a Pizza Hut cup rather than a goblet. #monsterdon

“i brought you your goblet of warm milk my father” my child is always saying this #monsterdon

I like to imagine this is just how Vincent Price dressed when hanging out alone

#Monsterdon

"To you she was only a stepmother, but to me she was... a trophy wife"

#monsterdon

No I think the young understand grief very well actually.

#Monsterdon

It's funny because he's sad

#monsterdon

Aaaah!

I brought you your goblet of warm milk, father.

Warm milk? AAAAAAAAAH

#monsterdon
