@Cherizilla My brain takes issue with "harmless"
wizard lasers! #monsterdon
Oh. That Take was amazing!
4th wall break.
#Monsterdon π¦ββ¬ πΈοΈ π° π±
oh no please I just want to meet the actual raven that is all i need
#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.
That was not "Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven"
I wonder whether the puppies were okay during the tower collapse #monsterdon
It's amazing that despite Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, and Peter Lorre, the crow steals the show here
I'm crushing your head - Kids in the Hall
Aaaannd we go out on a fourth wall break #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)
"...awwwww, cawwww mon!"
SHUT
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
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
@SRLevine Safe assumption
I guess the escape capsule worked.
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
@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.
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
it must be really expensive to get wizardβs castle insurance #Monsterdon
FIRE! IN THE PAINTING!
Ooof ... the matte painting of the castle exterior with the flames is so bad ... especially after the interior sets burning.
So, Rexford travels around the world for the rest of his days, with his dad raven as a companion.
Five minutes to go and I wonder how many words will be spoken in it
"Well...that serves us right for having dinner with the neighbours..."
sayonara lenora
@TerryHancock She probably has a frightful voting record as well #monsterdon
We all know fire and castles don't mix.
that's right, the entire castle superstructure was load bearing on the Bad Doctor's existence.
OOPS!
How jolly--a sit-down duel.
Now might not be the best time to mock your Sugar Daddy, lady.
#monsterdon Should have built my castle out of stone instead of plywood!
Not only is that stone weirdly flammable, it seems to immediately turn to dust!
thank you @CactuarJoe
#monsterdon
Run, run, run away!
#Monsterdon
Surprisingly flammable for a stone building #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon π¦ββ¬ πΈοΈ π° π±
at least the raven gets to do some serious acting in this escape sequence
Oh no! Miruβs stream stopped working for me just as Lenore is pleading in the flames π #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon Well, that's an hour and 19 minutes we'll never get back. π€£
This whole scene must have been fun, if complicated, to film pre-CGI.
Vincent Price casts "remember you are old." It's very effective. #Monsterdon
@caban4 lol yes
I mean, it's not, like, the worst movie ever (and we would know) but it definitely falls somewhere on the bump of https://xkcd.com/653/
Vincent deploy the funk of forty thousand years
This duel to the death is really gentle. Bad guy just got egged.
Lenore is really kind of a jerk, huh?
Lenore is just a sapiosexual for magic
@lorgonumputz "heaven knows we can use thw eggs!" #WrongJoke #Monsterdon
There's some irony to me complaining that these women don't know how to properly run away while I sit, watching this film
for a MOMENT I thought he was gonna be turned into a hologram which would be kinda cool?
Gosh, his wife is so blood thirsty
#monsterdon
But these shots are great.
Vince, you are not drinking soda with Willy Wonka now.
All fall down.
I like this magical duel.
exciting #monsterdon
Really, if you're such powerful wizards, you should know to lead with Power Word Kill and not the zany cantrips #monsterdon
OLD MAN FIGHT! #Monsterdon
He turned green! I've seen this on Star Trek. It's not good.
You know.
After lengthy deliberation.
Deep thought.
And detailed analysis.

This sucks.
Time to beat the bigboss #monsterdon
We see that this duel cannot be decided by their knowledge of the force. Bring forth the lightsaber, please! And a more dramatic score.
#monsterdon
#theraven1963
@arrjay They never try fire! #stillBitter #Monsterdon
Finger Manipulations Intensifying!
#Monsterdon Prisma Duel!
I would love to see what it was like filming this. Like just two dudes sitting in chairs waving their hands around in relative silence sounds so entertaningπ
#Monsterdon
@lysdexic I snuck away and had a shot of tequila. It helped
#Monsterdon
All this, and we're just back to the light rays again.
@healyn There have been some clever little notes, like circus music during the carriage ride and etc.! #Monsterdon #TheRaven1963
#Monsterdon π¦ββ¬ πΈοΈ π° π±
they have like 5mins to finish this thing and it can't come soon enough
He should turn Karloff into a chicken and leave him like that.
more jazz hands time!
#monsterdon
We're not screaming when it looks like Vincent Price got shot through the chest with an arrow, but we ARE screaming when he gets dropped 5 feet from a chandelier #monsterdon
Boris Karloff was like 90% arthritis at this point in his life, so they had to shoot most of his stuff sitting down. It is incredibly unhinged how much they tried to make to dramatic though. #Monsterdon
I like Vincent's smug
#monsterdon
#theraven1963
MS Paint magic duel #monsterdon #theraven
i wanna see if price can take a foam girder on his head as well as palance
Vincent Price is Not Amused with your bullshit
#monsterdon
Borris, you're just not getting it. Vincent is just better than you at being silly and smug.
should have magic'd a whoopee cushion onto Karloff's chair #Monsterdon
Vincent Price-cicle #Monsterdon
Itβs not the guy youβre looking for, itβs _____ in a velvet coat #monsterdon
Weβve traded chairs. This fight is serious now #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon π¦ββ¬ πΈοΈ π° π±
you can tell Vincent's gonna win because of the wry smile
