I thought he'd find her knocking on the cellar door.

Where else will you find Lenore.
#monsterdon

@SRLevine When she enters, asks "what do you want?" and he says "you may go?" Unlikely.

#monsterdon

She got that hat at the newly opened Medieval DisneyWorld. They're still finding their vibe. #Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Why the comedic music? o.0 I would have picked something with at least SOME gravitas for the race along the cliff with a possessed driver who is trying to kill you!

#Monsterdon

@_L1vY_ scratches head, well the Teletubbies weren't a thing? #iMnotHelpingAmI #Monsterdon

All right, a second name female-identifying character has arrived. For a moment #monsterdon

We have a second female character! Is there a chance for a Bechdel pass?!?!?!

(no)

#Monsterdon

Dr. Scarabus, more like.., .

Scabrous. Like he's covered with scabs. Or maybe that he behaves indecently. Gottem

#Monsterdon

Boy that was quite the magic cut

Vincent Price was tall. #Monsterdon #TheRaven

yes, late wife, Doctor

the girl was not brought into this world via your kind of magic

#monsterdon

@_L1vY_ it’s never to late to open a 401k and/or study The Dark Arts #Monsterdon

Dr. Scarabus was the Fifth Beetle and he never got over the whole thing #Monsterdon

@Taweret thank you I knew I knew that voice

#monsterdon

Oh yeah. We’re here because a guy who was a raven two hours ago thought he might’ve seen a blond woman in this castle sometime recently

#Monsterdon

"sure, she's in bondage, but we have a safe word!"

#monsterdon

The connection to Poe is, shall we say...tenuous 🤨

"I, am. Doctor Bedlo's. Son." --three time Academy Award winner Jack Nicholson

#monsterdon

#monsterdon What unfortunate circumstance brings you to my home? That doesn't say much about his company..

Estelle: “I’m afraid.”

Rexford: “Wrong adjective.”

Like a handful of you will get this.

#Monsterdon

Enter Boris Karloff as Dr. Scarabus, a charming and jolly host sincerely enchanted by the arrival of unexpected guests!

#monsterdon

This movie isn't nearly smart enough to make the son the actual villain?

Oh, he got possessed, nope. Nevermind.

#Monsterdon

"Dr. Scarabus" is the voice command for Alexa to turn on the delay #monsterdon #theraven

Jack sounding very 14th Century Europe there...

#Monsterdon

IS THAT JACK NICHOLSON IN A RIDICULOUS BARD OUTFIT!?
#Monsterdon #TheRaven

Who is this? Wait, don't answer that, I don't care
#Monsterdon

Baby Jack Nicholson! Adorable!

(Sorry, just realized who that was).

Anyone else hearing the Grinch?

#Monsterdon

I love when a dude emerges from the shadows and ominously tells me, "There's nothing to be afraid of". That's how I know not to be afraid

#monsterdon

Serious Scooby Doo vibes coming from that castle. Ruh-roh.

#Monsterdon #TheRaven #VincentPrice

she doesn't have to have your young fresh fellows tape back now

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

@Violinknitter (but seriously though they came to investigate the claims that Craven's dead wife was seen at the castle)

(and then they immediately resolved that and proceeded to do nothing meaningful whatsoever)

#Monsterdon

I think we’re gonna be in for some politics, or something. #monsterdon

How much you bet she'll scream "Mother!" Soon.
#Monsterdon

A NEW HAT

ENTERS THE RING

#monsterdon

Tell me he doesn’t look like he didn’t step out of some Vatican movie #Monsterdon

ARE WE NOT MEN
-Boris Karlov, on smoke break with VP and Lorre

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe OMG. I was thinking the exact same thing. 😆
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Somehow, that "Nothing to be afraid of" is what makes me afraid...

@Violinknitter It's more fun that way

#Monsterdon

Lorre can be a funny man, but he is not good a physical comedy.
#Monsterdon #TheRaven

this man spent all his money on candles.

#monsterdon

The fire is to keep the statue tushes warm #monsterdon

The "Lenore"-summoning chime sounds like the ones that ring when you enter Japanese convenience stores

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I kinda want that Charizard fire pit.

Oh come on dude, he was clearly setting you up for yet another complaint about not having your "equipment". #monsterdon

Oh no, not A Cardinal!!! #Monsterdon

@skatem camp / funny your call

#Monsterdon #TheRaven

woah
we're halfway there
woah
raven and some hair

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Cozy little place, huh? I finally laughed..

I think recent history has shewn that a crazy driver is worse than none.

#monsterdon
#TheRaven1963

Gotta love Price's skulking hunch

#Monsterdon

I see the set design and matte painting are as high a quality as the dialog, and general plot if this film.
#Monsterdon #TheRaven

Pretty sure I had a house like this in Skyrim. #Monsterdon

Jack's got the crazy eyes out, that didn't take long!

#Monsterdon #TheRaven #VincentPrice

THE BISHOP

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

are you coming to Scarabus fair?

#monsterdon

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! #Monsterdon

man I'm bad at faces, I didn't realise that was Nicholson until several people tooted about it. Didn't realise the maniacal face was a signature of his.
#monsterdon

The close-up of the castle is way better than the matte, must re-used from a better movie. #monsterdon

we will STAY!
and show off our HATS!

#monsterdon

you came "this far" in the form of a 20 minute coach ride, people commute further to a job at office depot

"let's get out of here" - us, the moment we realized this movie was """funny"""

#monsterdon

Love this gargoyle themed castle though

#Monsterdon

@healyn he did a triptych of shorter Poe "adaptations," the Black Cat one reunites Price and Lorre. They have a wine-tasting contest that is the pinnacle of cinematic achievement, not to be bested by a score of Christophers Nolan.

MATTE PAINTING.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
I wonder how much of the moat bridge is real set? Is it all a glass painting, I wonder..?

This is such a serious fillum, not comic at all. So tastefully done all round, like a bunch of guys conceived it while drinking. Milk, of course. #monsterdon

Wow, Jack Nicholson had hair!

#Monsterdon #TheRaven #VincentPrice

If this wasn't nicholson's first role it was close to it #monsterdon

Those might be the worst special effects I have ever seen. Bwip bwip bwip. One solid line and a symbol clash was too complex? Hell, no special effect and some good sound effects would have been better.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I am confused about locations and everything else.

the parts where they dont talk are the best

#monsterdon

Doctor Scarabus needs some WD-40 on his hinges.

#Monsterdon

no I am not alright I just finished speedrunning with JACK NICHOLSON

#monsterdon

That's a different castle from The Pit and the Pendulum, right?

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Sure, the coach driver has been driven into a magically-induced frenzy pushing us to dangerous speeds right next to a cliff edge. But the music says we're having fun! #Monsterdon

@Rozzychan

What a setup!

#Monsterdon

see, that one's much better

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

#monsterdon

Who doesn't like a mad carriage ride?

Scarabus sometimes lives in a matte painting #monsterdon

Deleted line by Jack: Horses ... let's frighten their minds. It was altered later by Tim Burton. #Monsterdon #TheRaven1963 #Batman1989

#monsterdon #theraven1963

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

A little coach race should make things more interesting.

#monsterdon

Borris Karloff has a spell called "Enrage Coachman."

It comes in handy more often than you'd think.

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

#Monsterdon

Waitaminute.

Jack Nicholson?

some say he’s still saying “whoa” to this day #monsterdon

Mm, lime jello castle. #Monsterdon

Did Corman also do an adaptation of The Tell-Tale Heart? I would not like to watch it

#monsterdon

Now a butler? Where have you been for 25 minutes?
Lorre wants to dress like a pope?
