Is it typical to dust the coffin you've kept for two years in your bedroom?

A GOBLET of warm milk father! DRINK! DRINK FROM THE GÖBLET FÄTHER! #monsterdon #theraven

#Monsterdon

His voice always makes me want to Thriller dance.

#Monsterdon What a robe, tho

Most inconsolable widows just have a portrait, not a casket. #monsterdon

This is why it's so important you secure your environment before you put on your VR headset. #Monsterdon

Root post for #Monsterdon, today's movie is #TheRaven, which is APPARENTLY unrelated to "The Crow," which I probably should have known already.

Quoth the Raven: Eat my shorts. All I can think of is the Treehouse of Horror.

#monsterdon

Noting but the finest special effects were used.

#monsterdon

Vincent's Tilt Brush was way ahead of its time. #monsterdon

Well, this is the definitive reading of this poem. Or it was until it got cut short but silliness.

Win!

Lose!

Or Draw!

#monsterdon

I see like me, Vincent has been consuming magic mushrooms.....

#Monsterdon

This is comedy!

#monsterdon

Classic long tube telescope! (...on an alt-az moutn)

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Watch out for that telescope ... nevermind.

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Now draw the rest of the raven…

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

...You cannot tell me this isn't a Muppet Show bit. #Monsterdon

raven trying to use the telescope

raven's an astronomer

pretty smart, raven

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Aww, he’s using a mental Etch-A-Sketch!!

#Monsterdon

Vincent Price appears to be using an early version of Procreate.

#Monsterdon

@holly He does have a really good voice for this sort of thing doesn't he?

Though Karlof is really good at the stuff he does too.

#Monsterdon

@arrjay and Edgar Allen Poe

#monsterdon

Air touchscreen? #monsterdon #theraven

Vincent Price reciting Poe is my ASMR #monsterdon #TheRaven #TheRaven1963

@miru Oh yeah, starting with Vincent reading the poem! #Monsterdon #TheRaven1963 and various gloomy nature and castle shots!

Oh man, Vincent Price reading The Raven! If that doesn't set the mood for horror, I don't know what will!

#Monsterdon

Vincent Price could read the Phone Book and make it gothic...

#Monsterdon

Her name is Lenore

#monsterdon

Tonight on #Monsterdon we're going to do some bird watching! With VINCENT PRICE! You know that means it will be FABULOUS!

Oh dear, a Roger Corman film.
With extra-red titles, as a warning.

let it roll!

#monsterdon

honestly i would pay good money to hear Vince just recite the poem.

#monsterdon

So basically he's just gonna recite the poem and that's the movie

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Final #MonsterdonBingo card, I got 2!

Wait, is that where the term comes from? o.0

#Monsterdon

This is basically the wizards duel from Equal Rites!

#Monsterdon

@moira @paco @catzilla Insert your own sexist comment here #monsterdon

@diazona @jonny @Tengu @combatwombat omg i missed this too!! #monsterdon

thanks for a fun time, #monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie You mean a good quality or a bad quality one? Or just one that's willing to choose? #monsterdon

@uptownsongclub Might I also recommend the children's book version: https://micahbedwards.wordpress.com/lil-eddie/

(caveat: the author's sister is a long time friend of mine and I backed the original kickstarter)

#Monsterdon

I don't believe it passed the #bechdeltest either #monsterdon

It was a meh film for me as reflected in my review, not quite good enough or bad enough to be fully satisfying. Two and a half stars on #letterboxd https://letterboxd.com/anderson_petaq/film/the-raven-1963/ #monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie I thought that would be the case this week with a 6.5 on IMDb. But, not.

Since we can’t trust the numbers, a bafflingly bad one would be best, for fun comments.

#monsterdon

i did not know that karloff was in an earlier (loose) adaptation of the raven in 1935 (with lugosi) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0026912/

#monsterdon

Okay so yeah this was definitely the worst Vincent Price thing I've seen to date, and I say that as someone who owns the Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea episode where he guest-stars as an evil puppetmaster that makes living puppet versions of the crew of the Seaview to try to take over the sub. 😆

#Monsterdon

@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

@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

#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

#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 😌

#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

https://youtu.be/vDJ48M5-pMI?si=lVXx_LM7e07KMOu4

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

@moira @dbendit 😆#Monsterdon

#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
