So Vincent Price is a magician? #monsterdon

@jonny cast iron intestines that can withstand VP's weird hot dog recipes

#monsterdon

"Says here somebody ordered a raven" #monsterdon

Don’t ever let strange birds into your home, folks.

#Monsterdon

@jonny In life, Lenore throated like Nancy Reagan crossed with a Shop-Vac.

#monsterdon #theraven

Oh goody #TheRaven is "Free to me" on MGM+, cuz I paid for it. 🤦‍♂️

#Monsterdon

Quoth the raven, "You got any games on your phone?"

#Monsterdon

BIRB FREN!

#theraven1963 #monsterdon

birb!
#monsterdon

"To you she was only a stepmother but to me she was

...

My beard

...

LIFE! My life!

#Monsterdon

someone went to eye-acting class
#monsterdon

he should start gently rapping.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
I had the movie started but was wrapping something up. I can comment now.
I LOVE Vincent's robe. 10/10 WANT

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

You know what would be scarier than nothing?

ANYTHING!! #Monsterdon #TheRaven

Enter! Daughter, that better be my cookies to go with the warm milk!

#monsterdon

that bust of pallas is NOT pallid 😠 #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963 Isn't that always the way? You start to read your book, and someone just *has* to interrupt you. Sheesh.

That telescope is SO inconvenient #monsterdon #TheRaven #TheRaven1963

Can't beat Price reading lines from the poem though #monsterdon

Watch out for the telescope! The raven’s coiffure isn’t all that stunning. #monsterdon

get you a house with a built-in mausoleum #monsterdon

Stepmother?

How many wives has this guy gone through?
#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

@gnomon Carol Burnett did it better? #Monsterdon

Father, if you loved Lenore so, why didn't you commission a better portrait

#Monsterdon

Vincent's dress is a fetching number.

#monsterdon

bonk++ #monsterdon #theraven

Wait, so what happened to her mother? Did he ditch her for the step mother?

(sorry I missed the first few minutes and maybe some crucial background)

#Monsterdon

"OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR!" #monsterdon

@paco I'm guessing it's his loungewear, with the broach at his throat and all. "I brought you your goblet of milk, father!" in a blood-red goblet. #Monsterdon #TheRaven

@paco I thought it was a jacket then he stood up and I dunno #Monsterdon.

the brocade curtain-cum-shirt plus the apparently fur-lined boot cut slacks is really not the look, but VP is pulling it off nonetheless.

#monsterdon

@wohali She doesn't say where she got the milk #monsterdon

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

Harsh

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon he really regrets hiring for his dead wife's portrait the lady who did that one Jesus restoration

Joining #Monsterdon for a bit though not likely to stay long. Don't want a repeat of last week's awful sleep.

Tonight's movie is The Raven.

https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/29056-the-raven

I think I've seen at least part of this one. Very familiar with the poem and the rest of Poe's work.

#Monsterdon 🐦‍⬛ 🕸️ 🏰 😱

that's not a good painting of Lenore

#Monsterdon

Hm. Evil stepmother foreshadowing?

Sludgy water #monsterdon

I don't remember there being a second human character in EA Poe's The Raven. I was hoping to watch Vincent Price chew the scenery for 90 minutes. #monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

Goblet of warm milk

#monsterdon

I'll say it: I fuckin' love Vincent Price.

There, I said it.

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Goblet of Warm Milk #BandName #Monsterdon #TheRaven

Is that supposed to be Poe??!?!? #Monsterdon

"But to me she was..."

<sips from milk goblet>

"...my life."

#Monsterdon #TheRaven

Dusts the coffin with such disinterest. #monsterdon

Jump scare - for a goblet of warm milk. Followed by an infodump.

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

dusting your coffins, as you do.

#monsterdon

@yatsu Sung to the tune of "You Gotta Keep 'Em Separated" #Monsterdon

AAAAH!!! I'm scared of goblets of warm milk #monsterdon #TheRaven #TheRaven1963

#monsterdon VP is so good you forgive him when he sets up his own jump scare

Is Vince wearing a skirt, or some bizarre dressing gown?
#monsterdon

I've always wanted to see Vincent Price playing an eccentric Vulcan.

#Monsterdon

@hollie Going to mooch over here tonight if you don't mind. Not sure If I'll post much.

#Monsterdon

I need a big floofy duster like that.

For... reasons. #DefinitelyNotKinkReasons #monsterdon

#monsterdon

Price v Telescope

#monsterdon

Landscaper is on vacation #Monsterdon

Dude, watch where you’re going. Or don’t put a big telescope in your study #Monsterdon

If you look through the other end, it's a microscope

#Monsterdon #TheRaven

Oh it's blowing it's Raven load right in the opening credits.
#Monsterdon #TheRaven

That is a snazzy jacket. #monsterdon

Drawing the raven was a neat touch

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

People were easily entertained back then

#monsterdon

[BONK] "KEEP ROLLING, ASSHOLES!"

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

#Monsterdon

You spend all that money making the House of Usher you're gonna reuse that exterior footage as much as you can. #Monsterdon #TheRaven

We conclude the literary content of this film. Now for...whatever this is.
