They'll ride up with wear. #Monsterdon

They keep looking off in the distance because they're reading the lines

#monsterdon

She looks just like she always did. Terrified of being married to Vincent Price. #monsterdon

Is this purposefully slapstick?

#Monsterdon

I have news for you, gang. keeping this many dead bodies in the house has got to make it STINK.

#monsterdon

A+ quality coffin creaks in this movie

Everything else... not so much

#Monsterdon

Beware? Very helpful dad. Almost like the writers wanted some vague useless foreshadowing. #monsterdon

"What is that picture of that woman doing here?"

"That sir is no woman, that is my wife!"

😂

#monsterdon

The director was like "A tall guy, and a short guy! It's comedy gold!"

#monsterdon

This guy just keeps dead bodies lying around all over his house.

#Monsterdon

If I came back from the dead I'd be vague about things, it would be my right as I see it

#Monsterdon

You'd think your dead father could take a moment to say "hi"

#Monsterdon

Corpse hand grabs Price's collar:
"YOU SHOULD'VE VISITED MORE, SON. IT'S LONELY DOWN HERE."

#monsterdon #theraven

KISS HIM!
#monsterdon
on the lips!

So, uh, the corpse died in 1498 right? Was it shipped over to the new world, or is this in Europe?

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

"He told me to Beware"

"Beware of what?"

"Beware of...hair!"

#monsterdon

I'm totally using "hard place to keep clean?" next time I need to passive-aggresively point out that a place looks like shit. #monsterdon

Whoa buddy. Get your "hand magic" ready privately and on your own time. #monsterdon

@phooky would watch

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon OMG... Its Withers!!! #bg3

That corpse looks really good for being 20 years dead.

#Monsterdon

half rate wizards = half rate super scientists....and some social embarrassment caused by drinking... very Venture Bros

#Monsterdon

VINCENT PRICE in: DOMESTIC SORCERY #monsterdon

@dbendit We are vegetarians, so we use coconut hair.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon 20 minute dissertation on whether hand magic or equipment magic is better

All I'm saying is that voice sounds like a New York gangster Sorcerer, so restoring him could be dangerous.

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Raise your hand if you just spent three minutes trying to make sure that's really a raven and not a crow. No? Just me?

#Monsterdon #TheRaven #VincentPrice

"Why should he mind?" He'd mind if he knew what an ungrateful little snot you are. #monsterdon

In 'Merica it's Peter Truck! #Monsterdon ... give it a minute

This was my first PeterLorre movie. I probably didn't see anything else with him until I was 20. #monsterdon

@Zerofactorial Is that like "couldn't tell the spanish inquisition vs. the puritan witch hunts?"

#Monsterdon

“We’re out of dead man’s hair.”

“Well, get some more!”

“Do you think we have a Dead Man’s Hair Mart on every corner?”

#Monsterdon

*slams table*

I WANT TO GO TO A SORCERER'S CONVENTION

#monsterdon #TheRaven

Price looks really sad about being in this movie

#monsterdon

@SordidAmok The i's have it! #Monsterdon

Vincent Price can't cook under this pressure, he is not The Bear

#Monsterdon

A+ alchemical laboratory!

(I only have a PhD in chemistry because you can't get one in alchemy anymore)

#Monsterdon

The band is really trying to inject some comedy into this comedy

#monsterdon

lol, "troubled horse"
Bojack Horseman?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon So many houses of that time had mad doctor's labs in the basements.

I already have many questions. I don't believe this movie will answer any of them.

#Monsterdon

Imagining waking up one day and now longer having your mammalian genitals but some Avian weirdness?

#Monsterdon

This bird's got quite a grocery list. #Monsterdon

Is... Is this SUPPOSED to be a comedy? #monsterdon

Vincent Price always reminds me of Scott Thompson.
#Monsterdon

@srol About 90% of it is Price talking to a bird, yes. 😁

I mean technically he doesn't stay a bird.

#Monsterdon

Ravengram for Vincent Price #Monsterdon

??? The Raven is Lou Castello?

#Monsterdon
#TheRaven

"The young do not understand grief, Estelle. To you she was only a stepmother; to me she was..."

*Vincent Price takes a huge swig of warm milk from a dark red glass goblet*

"...my life."

("It's pronounced \"wife\", Mr. Price." "I'll say it howsoever I wish to say it, you sniveling peasant!")

#monsterdon

@wohali I wish someone would bring ME a goblet of warm milk. #Monsterdon #TheRaven1963 OK that is a gorgeous raven! No don't let it in, Vincent!

Pardon me, sir, do you know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior? #monsterdon

was Vinnie really that tall or was Lurch the cameraman?

#monsterdon

quothe the raven "dang dog we really are going to space out the entire poem and only have dialogue that is in the poem so that means about 1 word per minute" #monsterdon

BIRB!

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Oh no is our hero a brocade-pajama'd doofus

#Monsterdon

@ohiofi draw #monsterdon

They are starting the movie with a recitation of the Edgar Allen Poe poem. Not sure where this is going.

#monsterdon

Magic doodle!

#monsterdon

So, we're going to read the Raven while showing stuff from the Fall of the House of Usher?

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

No picture of Vincent Price?

Oh well, he hasn't been in that many movies, I get it

#Monsterdon

Psychedelic poetry!

#monsterdon

I tried making @JoeWynne’s #Monsterdon drink of the week, but I think I failed.

I don't have any highball glasses, for one, but when I poured it over ice in a regular glass and then attempted to float the Chambord on top, it was a disaster. It went straight to the bottom. I handed it to my wife, and her first response was, “Tastes like mouthwash.”

I tried again, this time without pouring over ice, but same result. I can't float the Chambord (it spills all down the shot glass).

alas no bingo for me tonight

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

@strangefour The Black Cat segment in Tales of Terror is a classic, but note that it mixes The Black Cat with The Cask of Amontillado and a lot of comedy.

#Monsterdon

@apLundell @TerryHancock ABSOLUTELY. Both of those are delights.

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Dave Fleischer's animated take on The Raven: he's a vacuum cleaner salesman in this one

#Monsterdon 🐦‍⬛ 🕸️ 🏰 😱

thank you @Taweret, @Cherizilla, @JoeWynne and all you delightful #Monsterdonians everyone let's drink a toast to the great Jim Jr., raven actor extraordinaire!

see ya next time I hope

🍻 💞

Can we have a good Vincent Price movie next time? Like maybe the other one with peter Lorre. That has a great scene about wine.
#Monsterdon

@paco @TerryHancock well that's what you need to do if you want Karloff in 1963 #accommodations
#Monsterdon

@JoeWynne @claralistensprechen5th Yeah! It's literally a barn he filmed burning down. It got used in a BUNCH of his movies.

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

@klu9

#Monsterdon

Yeah, I was going to dump on the music, but I started wondering if there was enough to dump on... there seemed to be an awful lot of musical passage quoting (or "borrowing").

And a couple of passages where I wondered if they didn't have the money, so they just got someone to noodle on a Hammond B3 organ.

Hah! The Raven returns! Saw that coming, very clever trick!

#Monsterdon

@JoeWynne @Taweret @Cherizilla The rubber bat #monsterdon

@SordidAmok I like both.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

I did have a few more squares to mark on my card, and I'm very tempted to check that Re-Used Corman Footage box but I confess I'm not at all familiar with all his works to make that call.

@jonny @Tengu @combatwombat OMG how have I not seen this before

#Monsterdon

Well, ok, even you give a pass on the "just for laughs" misogyny and racism (I only counted three egregious ones, which is pretty good for a film made in the 60s), it somehow wasn't *quite* bonkers enough to push it into being really, really good. Like, I can see where they were going with it, but they just did not get there. I'm glad I watched it, but I wouldn't watch it again XD

Thanks for hosting, @Taweret !

#Monsterdon #TheRaven #VincentPrice

Wonder how often they had to cut away from the raven defecating on the set.

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Well... that was ... uh... something. #monsterdon

Spielberg probably watched The Raven and realized, "that's it! That's the ending to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade!" #monsterdon

@paco @Cherizilla "No brain cells were harmed in the watching of this film" EXCUSE ME?

_EXCUSE ME?!_

I've got a hangover from this movie and I haven't even been drinking I THINK I KNOW BRAIN HARM WHEN I FEEL IT

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

@Cherizilla

Oh yeah. Now I ‘member.

#Monsterdon

I don’t think James H. Nicholson and Jack Nicholson are related. Nicholson is a pretty common name.

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

And so Dracula is once more defeated, the end #Monsterdon

Wait wrong medium

@davesdogmaggie Sir, this is a #Monsterdon.

@Cherizilla No brain cells were harmed in the watching of this film. None were improved either.

#monsterdon

Thank you everyone! This one wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but it is mine. I like the droll cheesy stuff!

Thank you @Taweret for hosting once again. See you all next week!

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

@ramsey with them running around some of the house brought that's Scooby-Doo episod to mind a couple of times during that movie.

#monsterdon

You see. Boris doing the outstretched arms thing is funny because Frankenstein. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

I know we love a good bad movie, but I do feel that had the makers taken the plot seriously, we would have had a good movie with some good plot twists.

Well, if they had the budget for it, of course.

Wow, this was BAD. Like, real bad. I like the other Corman-Price ones, I've seen them all, but the comedy bit here simply did not work.

Thank you all for joining and surviving tonight! This was a hard one

Thanks @Taweret for hosting

#monsterdon #TheRaven #TheRaven1963

"And that was the only time Boris Karloff and Jack Nicholson ever appeared on screen together", you thought to yourself. Well, you thought wrong

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Terror_(1963_film)

#monsterdon

If it wasn't for #Monsterdon I would have turned this off after like 20 minutes. Group watch made it a decent evening even with a bad movie.

Hey, that was great!

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Remember, all jokes should be told three times. Something constant in this film.

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

@trixter @Taweret good plan 👍

#Monsterdon

That’s another #Monsterdon in the can! It was indeed a film of suspect quality, which is why we all gather here on Sunday nights.
#TheRaven

This is really silly but Price looks like he's enjoying himself so it's fine I guess! #Monsterdon

And this concludes a #monsterdon thread for “The Raven”!

This movie was Comedic. Tragically so.
