I mean, really, you never should trust Peter Lorre. He ALWAYS betrays you...

#Monsterdon

I almost forgot about bingo! Looks like I got one!
(Assuming that space in the middle is Free Space?)

Thanks, @Cherizilla !

#Monsterdon #TheRaven #VincentPrice

more circus music ugh

#monsterdon

There's no way they're gonna survive this!! #monsterdon

This hardly can be considered an ending.
#monsterdon
#theraven1963

@ramsey That would be a kinder ending than Vincent's wizard closing his beak forevermore! #Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Well, thanks @Taweret for hosting, @miru for the stream, and President's Choice dill pickle chips for helping me get through this. Good night everyone!

#Monsterdon

And now the circus music is back.

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

This wasn't one of Richard Matheson's better scripts I'm afraid #monsterdon

OMG WE MADE IT

I wasn't sure there for awhile

Monsterdon, the trauma bonding of Mastodon 😂

Thanks everyone! And thanks so much to @Taweret for hosting!

#Monsterdon #TheRaven

#monsterdon

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!

#monsterdon

See you next week, I hope!

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, you’re not going to blame this… this THING on Edgar Allan Poe!!!! #Monsterdon

Well that was something. Time for a goblet of warm milk nightcap #monsterdon

"Shut YOUR beak, Human!"

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

Yay the Raven is back

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

@lysdexic Instead of #monsterdon, this is more of a Monsterdon't. 😃

Y'know there's still time to jamify a person or two

#Monsterdon

@brooke don't we all? Apart from Vegans

#Monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon

Oh, I got bingo a while back. Forgot to say.

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

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

boooooooo

they're aliiiiiiiive

whyyyyyyyy

booooooooooooooooo

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

whoa, at the last minute the castle transformed into the barn that burns to the ground in every Roger Corman movie with a fire!

#monsterdon

Are you telling me wizard school doesn't teach ANYTHING about putting fires OUT?

#monsterdon

@cd0 They had to use up the rest of them before the movie ended I guess
#Monsterdon

The grandmaster’s only mostly defeated? #monsterdon

A lot of wood in a stone castle suddenly appears.
#monsterdon

Sure let them both burn alive

#monsterdon

That castle is made of the same stuff that the Federation uses to build the bridge on their vessels.

Very flammable.

#Monsterdon

Is this actually a Vincent Price movie that doesn't end in Vincent going completely binkybonkers?

#Monsterdon

WAY TOO MANY TACKY SOUND CUES OMG.
#monsterdon

THERE IT IS

THAT FUCKING BARN

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Scarabus: "If I'm going out, I'm going out with my face buried in tits, dammit!"

#Monsterdon

This is 1963, years before Pong made its debut, but they're pretty close in this showdown.

#monsterdon

Who wore it better? #Monsterdon #TheRaven

You can see the wires on the chair

#monsterdon

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.

#Monsterdon

ah, we're back to force lightning.

BORING

#monsterdon

back to where we were before the duel
#monsterdon

Oh the blue / green Emperor Palpatine finger beams are back again

#monsterdon

force lightening again

#Monsterdon

Seven minutes to reach minimum safe distance

#Monsterdon #TheRaven

Craven's crew should have lost their shit when he magicked up a fancy little parasol

#monsterdon

Moar finger blasting! MOAR!!!
#monsterdon

The soundtrack’s getting climactic. They’re still not so serious though #monsterdon

FING! ER! SEX!

FING! ER! SEX!

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

@MatthewTitus88 half a liberty cap would help viewing lol

#Monsterdon

Puppies!

#monsterdon

Surprised the villain didn't drop a 10 ton monty python weight on the puppies. #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

#monsterdon

PUPPIES!!!!!

#monsterdon

lolol that sound when he got impaled, it was so... cute?
#monsterdon

#monsterdon Vincent just laid as many eggs as this movie..

@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. It’s 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, you’re setting your own things on fire. Don’t you realize that?

#Monsterdon

Very realistic bat #monsterdon #theraven

This is like watching a Pokemon game. I assume. #monsterdon

Should have shat on him from up there

#Monsterdon

what next, gonna give the old guy a weggie?

#monsterdon

We're gonna fight! Quick, get some chairs!

#Monsterdon #TheRaven #VincentPrice

Aww, he's full of my cat's cat litter.

#monsterdon

I would play in this campaign.

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

This is a movie of learned doctors.

#Monsterdon

A DEWEL to THE DEATHHH #monsterdon #theraven

@CactuarJoe this is, like, wood league caliber dueling

#Monsterdon

@ohiofi It has horse face? (I may be way behind in comments) #Monsterdon

Did Erasmus just bitch-slap the people who sat out the election and ushered in Trump2.0?

#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 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.

#monsterdon

Doggy!

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

All marriages are unhappy! Hahahha!

#monsterdon

WHY ARE THERE CHERUB HEADS ON THE ARMS OF HIS CHAIR????? #Monsterdon

This is just like the Merlin v. Madam Mim fight. Except bad

#Monsterdon

It would have been so much better if that cannonball thing had ended in a game of Pong…

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

#Monsterdon aw look at the lil heck hounds!

LOL
Great effect, ,they almost line up with their fingers.
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🐦‍⬛ 🕸️ 🏰 😱

oh no not scary pictures of gargoyles in colored gels!

confettied, a fate worse than death

#monsterdon

not enough wizards settling things the old fashioned way these days #monsterdon

I saw a similar duel between Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam

#monsterdon

@otheorange_tag ...but I miss the Wrestling Women

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon #TheRaven

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.

#Monsterdon

Aaaaand now they're throwing cartoons back and forth at each other. #monsterdon

Laser showdown at the ol' castle

#monsterdon

So the vaunted duel is turning things into stuff. Plus a cannon.

#Monsterdon
