I too have failed at the task of living.

#monsterdon #TheRaven

I like how the youngest and strongest guy is tied up with the least amount of rope

#Monsterdon #TheRaven

I'm not able to participate in #Monsterdon but I'm so hyped folks are watching one of my major childhood favorites tonight because it's sure a film.

I like the griffin with the torch in its mouth, home decor used to mean something in this country

#monsterdon

Oh great. Poker night 😕

#Monsterdon

Betrayal within betrayal: Scarabus bought Bedlo's cooperation with an offer of power to help deceive Erasmus and lure him to the castle so that Scarabus could... siphon out Erasmus's magic like a Skexi shoving gelflings into a Juicero..? I think?

#monsterdon

i used to think all the karloff / lorre / price impressions were overdone in the animaniacs i watched as a kid #monsterdon

My mom, on Bedlo: "The original incel?"

#monsterdon #theraven

Lenore’s sister was Lenande.

#Monsterdon

"Estelle we have to leave... before our careers are ruined!"

#monsterdon

He was better as a bird.

#monsterdon #theraven1963

braiding a rug, as you do.

#monsterdon

Should one put clotted cream above Dr. Bedlo, or underneath him?

#Monsterdon

ok, @bstacey wins the award for making me chortle the loudest today with

Quoth the raven, "More of Lorre"

#monsterdon

What are you doing in a ladies room?

Dad energy
#monsterdon

There’s a reason for the lack of poem based films

#Monsterdon

Young Jack Nicholson in a comedy is throwing major Jason Ritter vibes

#Monsterdon

Now we know what happens when The Shining meets Swan Lake. #monsterdon

Suddenly, there was no dialogue, and the movie improved significantly as a result. #monsterdon

Waaiittt, ........he's not Jam!

#Monsterdon

Great Scott! Lenore lives, and befuddled Erasmus two years prior into believing her dead so she could dally with the rich and powerful Scarabus instead!

Betrayal! Conspiracy!

#monsterdon

Huh, Pete's been un-jammed. #Monsterdon

Let's fill in these plot holes

#Monsterdon

Hit the showers, Karloff. You're way too horned up

#monsterdon

@Taweret So much boobage, in 60s style. #monsterdon

I like this lady. She's a real straight-talker.

#monsterdon

Lenora put a body double in the casket so she could get it on with the pope!
#Monsterdon

A female voyeur - there's a twist

Now only if she were doing something obscene...

#monsterdon

Vincent Price constantly looks like he's about to pitch some sort of subscription service. #monsterdon

...would it be the first time he was outside on a ledge exposing himself?

#Monsterdon

It is bonkers that some producer watched this movie and said, "That Nicholson kid is a star!"

#monsterdon

Ah yes, the good ol’ climbing the outside of the castle scene.

If you have a castle in your movie, you MUST have this scene #Monsterdon

"Don't be alarmed, but I think Dr. Scarabus killed my father."

You don't say, was it the moment when he definitely did kill him on camera with the hand gesture magic we know he can do

#Monsterdon

Lightning bolts, people obliterated, or turned into birds, but keep your bedroom door locked, that'll be insurmountable for a rogue magician.

#monsterdon

"but you might be killed!"

"at least I'd be out of this movie!"

#monsterdon

Jack looks... wrong... in tights. #monsterdon

Somebody should give Karloff a couple drinks

#monsterdon

count dracula is MUCH better at imprisoning people in their quarters, this guy's just a clown

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Keep your door locked, Estelle. That Nicholson is trouble.
#monsterdon

He's been jammed!

Someone gave him the raspberry!

#monsterdon #theraven

THUNDERSTRUCK!

[cue AC/DC]
#monsterdon

Ok Jack Nicholson actually looked like Jack Nicholson just then. #monsterdon

impressive sparkler
must have broke the budget

#monsterdon

That's a lot of mana spent for one Shock. #Monsterdon

The line at this moment?

"You dirty old man."

Ok. THAT is funny.

#monsterdon

@catzilla Academic disputes are like that, or something

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

"You ... you dirty old man!"

#monsterdon

Vulcan salute ain't gonna save you here. #Monsterdon

this is my favorite harry potter

#monsterdon

lol, the special effects in this are truly half arsed

#Monsterdon

Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, and Jack Nicholson. This movie is as important to film history as Horror Express with Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, and Telly Savalas. Only not as good.
#Monsterdon #TheRaven

Ok. One Lenore. That'll be $84.50. Cash or card? #monsterdon

The castle is giving Skyrim.

#Monsterdon

Borris Karloff was 6 feet tall.

I'm only pointing it out for the next time you see him standing next to Vincent Price.

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

I have a "gesture" for this movie....

#monsterdon

We're going to find Bedlo's magical equipment and it's just gonna be a Glock #Monsterdon

mortal enemies to lovers arc now?
#monsterdon

This is gonna end with the shapeshifting wizard fight from The Sword in the Stone. #Monsterdon

"a raven?"
I got better.

#monsterdon #wrongMovie

I hope they do the monster mash...

#Monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

🐦‍⬛TRIVIA EVERMORE 🐦‍⬛

Boris Karloff was the only one who did not have fun during filming.

He was thrown off by Lorre's ad libbing, hated the cape he was forced to wear, and a SFX scene coming up caused him pain.

#TheRaven1963

Do you have her soul in bondage? Teasing? Denial? Tickling? #monsterdon

If you're thinking those statues might come to life and attack in glorious stop-motion, no.

#monsterdon

a little less conversation maybe

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

She’s kind of got an I Dream of Genie thing going on with that outfit.

#Monsterdon

"Great friends" He totally banged his dad. #Monsterdon #TheRaven

@RamenCatholic I want to point out that Vincent's daughter tried to stop Grimes when he was running mad. She snuck up on him and hit him with that vase! She's got grit! #Monsterdon #TheRaven1963 Oh, here's Boris Karloff tromping down the terrible stone staircase!

It's Boris Karloff!

#Monsterdon

I forget why we’re at this castle at all #Monsterdon

He must be a doctor considering how much it costs to *heat* this place...

#monsterdon #theraven1963

#Monsterdon 🐦‍⬛ 🕸️ 🏰 😱

I really want that fire pit tho

This castle is not as cool and mysterious as that door opening music suggests

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

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

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

i wonder if they told the cast this was going to be a comedy before they signed the contracts. they certainly don't seem to have told the audience, and we're half an hour in already.

#monsterdon

It was a dark and stormy day for night... #Monsterdon

You EEEEDIOT!!

#Monsterdon #TheRaven

WTF is going on? No, really. WTF is going on?

#Monsterdon

Wow, this is 12yrs before "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' A young Nicholson indeed.

#monsterdon

"Mayn't" ?

Well, "Maybe'ent"

#monsterdon

I like how no one is even trying

#monsterdon

Lorries son and Price's daughter.
Romance in the air.

#Monsterdon

They wanted Tor Johnson, but he was working on a better movie that day

#monsterdon

It's weird seeing him before the Cocaine...

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Rex? Rox? Another silly hat.

I'm enjoying #MonsterdonBingo, it's helping me stay focused 😅 #monsterdon

There needed to be a drum roll after "diabolic mind control".

#Monsterdon #TheRaven

It’s Jack Nicholson!

#Monsterdon

"I learned that little trick from KISS when I helped them defeat the Phantom of the Park."

#Monsterdon

Well, they've got a full party now. #Monsterdon

this bit with the bonking and the axe wielding maniac servant is not funny. it’s just weird.

#Monsterdon #TheRaven

I don’t understand what Musk ever saw in Grimes.

#Monsterdon

This is my daughter Estelle, her coffin comes on Tuesday. Then I'll have a three piece set. #monsterdon

Estelle! In the hallway! With the ceramic vase!

#monsterdon

Oh dear. Hijinks. #Monsterdon

May I axe a question about this quasi-bullfighting scene?

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

I'm waiting for the "Wah, wah , wah" sound effect. Or maybe a slide whistle.

#monsterdon

The two wizards needs some glasses of Prosecco while playing dressup

#Monsterdon

they ad libbed all this didn't they

#monsterdon

Doctor Phibes also kept his wife's body. And in the Pit and the Pendulum, too.

I wonder how many Price films involve keeping his wife in his house?

#monsterdon

@SordidAmok #monsterdon

They keep wishing they're in another movie.
