OMG WE MADE IT
I wasn't sure there for awhile
Monsterdon, the trauma bonding of Mastodon π
Thanks everyone! And thanks so much to @Taweret for hosting!
#Monsterdon #TheRaven
That certainly was one of the movies of all time.
Thanks as always for organizing @Tawaret@timeloop.cafe !)
The didn't even credit the Raven!!! Outrageous!
#monsterdon
Love the final shot of this film. Nice job, Vincent.
And that was a load of fun, even if it was not the best of films. Really enjoyed all of you hangin' out with me tonight.
Special thanks to everyone who made this extra great, not the least of which is @Taweret for running the event weekly!
See you next week, I hope!
Carnival music for the closing credits, okay #Monsterdon
We even get a Romper Room swirly visual ending! With Raven and circus music.
#Monsterdon
well
there was a raven
so guess they got that part right at least
(it's been so long since I read it I don't actually remember shit about it lol)
#monsterdon
Oh no, youβre not going to blame thisβ¦ this THING on Edgar Allan Poe!!!! #Monsterdon
Well that was something. Time for a goblet of warm milk nightcap #monsterdon
"Shut YOUR beak, Human!"
Yay the Raven is back
@lysdexic Instead of #monsterdon, this is more of a Monsterdon't. π
Y'know there's still time to jamify a person or two
@brooke don't we all? Apart from Vegans
The protagonists escape, Scarabus and Lenore argue in the wreckage of their castle mostly just to show that they survived and are unhappy with each other now.
Oh, I got bingo a while back. Forgot to say.
According to trivia, Jack Nicholson got shat upon the most by the bird. Well deserved. #monsterdon
Pricezilla vs MechaKarloff
#Monsterdon #TheRaven
#Monsterdon DOESN'T ANYBODY DIE IN THIS MOVIE!?
Oh yes, stone is very flammable as we all know #monsterdon #theraven
whoa, at the last minute the castle transformed into the barn that burns to the ground in every Roger Corman movie with a fire!
Are you telling me wizard school doesn't teach ANYTHING about putting fires OUT?
@cd0 They had to use up the rest of them before the movie ended I guess
#Monsterdon
The grandmasterβs only mostly defeated? #monsterdon
A lot of wood in a stone castle suddenly appears.
#monsterdon

Sure let them both burn alive
That castle is made of the same stuff that the Federation uses to build the bridge on their vessels.
Very flammable.
Is this actually a Vincent Price movie that doesn't end in Vincent going completely binkybonkers?
WAY TOO MANY TACKY SOUND CUES OMG.
#monsterdon
Scarabus: "If I'm going out, I'm going out with my face buried in tits, dammit!"
This is 1963, years before Pong made its debut, but they're pretty close in this showdown.
Who wore it better? #Monsterdon #TheRaven
You can see the wires on the chair
It would have been nice if anything had set up Erasmus as a hidden magical badass instead of a bumbler who could only rise to the challenge when his daughter was threatened. It's like that scene with him zapping the mind-controlled groundskeeper (?) was written as the setup for a different climax.
back to where we were before the duel
#monsterdon
Oh the blue / green Emperor Palpatine finger beams are back again
force lightening again
Seven minutes to reach minimum safe distance
The Raven: Vincent Price Fingerblasts Boris Karloff for Ninety Solid Minutes #Monsterdon
Craven's crew should have lost their shit when he magicked up a fancy little parasol
Moar finger blasting! MOAR!!!
#monsterdon
@MatthewTitus88 half a liberty cap would help viewing lol
Puppies!
Yeah, that umbrella's gay enough for Vincent Price. #Monsterdon
The film is showing and not telling and yet I'm not that much more satisfied #monsterdon
Vincent is going to win, of course, because he knows to use the power of WIMSY
PUPPIES!!!!!
lolol that sound when he got impaled, it was so... cute?
#monsterdon
FINALLY we get to casting Fireball. He's just been wasting spell slots this whole time. #Monsterdon
@Tengu Yes, in a low-budget-slow-british-B-movie-from-the-50s way. Devil Girl has become #monsterdon muse and queen after we watched it in January. Itβs free on Tubi: https://tubitv.com/movies/497643/devil-girl-from-mars
Watch along with the mastodon posts: https://monsterdon-replay.gerlach.dev/devil-girl-from-mars
Doctor Scarabus, youβre setting your own things on fire. Donβt you realize that?
Very realistic bat #monsterdon #theraven
This is like watching a Pokemon game. I assume. #monsterdon
Should have shat on him from up there
what next, gonna give the old guy a weggie?
Aww, he's full of my cat's cat litter.
I would play in this campaign.
This is a movie of learned doctors.
A DEWEL to THE DEATHHH #monsterdon #theraven
@ohiofi It has horse face? (I may be way behind in comments) #Monsterdon
Can you imagine this in the theater?
#Monsterdon
did... did vincent price lay those eggs himself #monsterdon
I cannot get over how chaotic the musical choices are in this movie #monsterdon
Erasmus's Noclip Curse #Monsterdon
Erasmus and Scarabus take turns gesturing at each other while various animated enchanter attacks flick back and forth between them. Scarabus brings out a whole-ass cannon. This scene started out like a cartoon; if it ends like the Daffy / Donald piano fight in the Ink & Paint Club in Who Framed Roger Rabbit I will be absolutely beside myself with glee.
All marriages are unhappy! Hahahha!
Man. I know I haven't played in a while, but Planeswalker duels are a *lot* different than i remember. #Monsterdon
This is just like the Merlin v. Madam Mim fight. Except bad
It would have been so much better if that cannonball thing had ended in a game of Pongβ¦
#Monsterdon aw look at the lil heck hounds!
LOL
Great effect, ,they almost line up with their fingers.
#monsterdon
#Monsterdon π¦ββ¬ πΈοΈ π° π±
oh no not scary pictures of gargoyles in colored gels!
confettied, a fate worse than death
not enough wizards settling things the old fashioned way these days #monsterdon
I saw a similar duel between Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam
@otheorange_tag ...but I miss the Wrestling Women
The rivalry becomes a conspiracy. I definitely did not have that on my bingo card.
World's most boring sorcerer duels world's other most boring sorcerer, everyone suffers
Go go finger lasers!
#Monsterdon
#TheRaven
See my head-canon is that the reason the magically-evoked animals look so fake is because, being magical, they are meant to be fake....
It helps... a little.
Laser showdown at the ol' castle
So the vaunted duel is turning things into stuff. Plus a cannon.
Confetti (and in particular, glitter) is perhaps the worst weapon of all.
Scarabus, Scarabus, will you light a small canon?
Sad trombones
i don't think much of this movie's adherence to canon
All the best fights are fought sitting down.
#monsterdon
Is musical racism on the bingo cards
#monsterdon ok this duel is good
BAT
George Lucas shamelessly ripping off Roger Corman.
I hate to make the reference, but Lorre would make a better rat than Peter Pettigrew
A duel while seated in stylish chairs, you love to see it
To be fair, the script is just: "Improvise"
Jedi vs Sith! So this is where Lucas stole it from! #Monsterdon
dudes are always proposing a duel to the death #monsterdon
