Corman is the master of padding the hell out of a movie with shots of people walking slowly across a set #monsterdon
This music is... something #Monsterdon
Raven should have won the Oscar
#HotTakeRavens #monsterdon
Look all of this is right there in the text if the poem if you squint #Monsterdon
fun fun wacky time with Vincent and R. Aven.
i was seriously not expecting something this unserious but i'm having fun lol
You know, after The Pit and the Pendulum, this is just pathetic.
Foley technician was off quite a bit with that raven at the chamber window...which wasn't a door, BTW.
Mmmm⦠I might need to grab some jellied spiders for breakfast!
@otheorange_tag He worked for costumes #monsterdon
Vincent Price movies have the coolest sets.
#Monsterdon
#monsterdon really should clean the basement more
this is making me want to try befriending local crows. and try switching to an all-brocade wardrobe.
Whatβs up with the snarky soundtrack?
Arriving a little late to #MonsterdonβThe Raven (1963)! Sorry, I had to get the laundryβ¦ π§΅
OOh, I think answering "nevermind" to "what were you" is a red flag!
Why isn't he just distracting the Raven with shiny things?
I bet he was a crow before
#monsterdon
Totally normal raven #monsterdon #theraven
I think my copy was colorized? Is it supposed to be black and white?
The raven is actually just naming English candies.
I wouldn't choose a bloodred goblet to bring my papa warm milk in, but maybe she was just catering to his dramatic tastes. #Monsterdon #TheRaven
Knock Knock #monsterdon
'Look, Shmendrik, get your act together! I got a plot to move!"
@Zerofactorial Probably an art critic #MontyPython ret #1 #Monsterdon
Please let this movie actually be about Harold and the Purple Crayon
This bird's got quite a grocery list. #Monsterdon
βI havenβt been down in my fatherβs laboratory in, oh, 20 years.β
Oh, my god. I donβt want to imagine the layer of dust youβll find.
Is there an enchantment that makes a person turned into a bird stop talking? #monsterdon
#Monsterdon Look, if anyone is going to have that stuff, it's Vincent Price.
Everything a growing bird needs. #monsterdon
Oh, I'm all out of jellied spiders #Monsterdon
rabbits..... log?
#monsterdon
I like how they open with a recitation of the poem. Probably to stave off criticism that this isn't actually based on The Raven.
What do you mean? Of course it is! They read it right at the beginning!
@stragu Some people do it that way, yeah. (I don't think it's actually possible to mute a thread but it can help you keep track, if nothing else)
Poe was a master at conveying silence as an avenue for paranoia. Anyway, πΊπ₯πͺπΉ
Will the inconveniently placed telescope be used later?
*raven swallowing noises*
That's how I feel about hot milk.
#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963
I love how Price is genuinely thrilled to be working with a real raven.
Eyyy, what'chu lookin' at? I'm flappin' here, wise guy!
#monsterdon Peter Lorre ad the Raven?
I expected that raven to be way more posh, not gonna lie... #monsterdon #TheRaven #TheRaven1963
I recognize that voice anywhere. It's #VincentTwice #VincentTwice.
Impressive Raven wrangling. #monsterdon
lolol, did you see Vincent look at the crew and try not to giggle? this man enjoyed that raven far too much (^_^)
"Never mind your soul, i've had a lien on that since 1957!"
#Monsterdon
That bird is an excellent actor!
The old oil on water trick, eh? Very mod, much 60s.
Scaredy cat sorcerer? #monsterdon
The Raven played by Mel Blanc?
AHH!!! I was not expecting the raven to talk in that absurd voice. It was very startling.
Is that Joe Pesci? #monsterdon
Not the raven's call I was expecting #Monsterdon
@brooke I wonder if she posed before or after?... #Realism #Monsterdon
VOMITABLE.
oh, it was better when the raven didn't talk.
lol, did not expect the Raven to speak!
60s and 70s director really loved filming oil and water. It was peak low-budget vibes.
Thatβs not a Raven, itβs a taxi driver #Monsterdon
#monsterdon He's a raven maniac!
"Don't just stand there gaping at me" YOU EEEEEEDIOT! #Monsterdon #TheRaven
CAW CAW I'M FROM HOGWARTS MOTHERFUCKER #monsterdon
I can see the string they've leashed the raven with
is this the raven from the Discworld???
Are we high...or is the movie?
omg! What did that bird say?!? #monsterdon
Yeah, give the raven some wine.
#monsterdon
A film by Roger Corvid, amirite?
...Oh it's a FUNNY adaptation :/ #Monsterdon
DA BIRB SPEAKS AND DEMANDS WINE! #monsterdon #TheRaven #TheRaven1963
How meta of us to make fun of a movie making fun of itself
The raven fron NeEeeEw YoOork Citaayyyy #monsterdon #theraven
Well, I was right, wasn't I?
Price chewed up the scenery right out of the gate. Him and his finger.
What percentage of this film is Vincent Price talking to birds? #monsterdon
#Monsterdon A smile on that man's face is scary and delightful.
And he needs to move that telescope.
eh???
THE MEN WHO TALK AT RAVENS
His dead wife played by Angelica Houston #Monsterdon
Stellar finger painting, Vincent! ;-) #Monsterdon #TheRaven
He looks HURT the wind disrupted his spell #monsterdon
"I think I'll just let a wild bird into my home. certainly not a bad idea." #monsterdon
#monsterdon don't invite things into your home! Now you'll never be rid of it
Wonder how many take it took to get it to land on that bust. #Monsterdon #TheRaven
Bonk count 2!
Corvid time!
#monsterdon That silver smoking jacket absolutely rocks.
Enter the raven ... and third time's the charm with the telescope ...
So are they going to just act out the poem now? Knock, knock knocking at his chamber⦠er, window.
#Monsterdon π¦ββ¬ πΈοΈ π° π±
holy cow they'd better credit this raven
#monsterdon Apparently Lenore left him and ran off to Borja with Ecce Homo
#Monsterdon
We have birb!
