#monsterdon She probably left him because of his stupid hat.

"I too have failed at the task of living."

As is tradition, every B-movie has one great line in it.

@kcarr2015 If he paid more than $5 for that painting it was too much #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Well, if that was actually Lenore, I would have a 3-way bingo, but she's just an imposter.

Lenore doesn't look anything like her painting.

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

yes, dr. venture, er, dr. craven, you're a sad shell of a man

#monsterdon #TheRaven1963

You're addicted to opiates, you fool

#Monsterdon

WTF! The guy who said "there's nothing to be afraid of" was lying his ass off! #monsterdon

PREPARE THE FLAMING GARGOYLES

Flaming Gargoyles would be a pretty good band name.

#monsterdon

None of this should have happened in a world where one dude can turn anyone into stone

(Or raspberry jam... raspberry jam is always better)

#Monsterdon

watch out! they let roger corman learn about rotoscoping #monsterdon

@moira You're watching european soccer? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon I can't get the grinch out of my head…

"You will receive your just reward."

"Ooh, shish kebab!"

#monsterdon

If he could tie up Bedlo with a gesture why not gag him too? #monsterdon

“I know I’m a disgrace.”

“I had a much stronger word in mind.”

Go ahead, Jack. Say it. Say the stronger word.

#Monsterdon

Freeze frame Vincent Price was kind of cool.
#Monsterdon

lightly draped in rope, oh no!

#monsterdon

my socks! I can't move my socks!

Turning into a cartoon
#monsterdon

Oh no, she turned into a person out of that A-ha music video!

"Not Without My Father", Tuesdays on TBS #monsterdon

#monsterdon COME! ALL OVER THE PLACE! Watch your step! ;)

Surviving 3 hawk attacks on a single trip suggests that you've gotten down being a raven...

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Bingo! I was rooting for a bird attack but it looks like that won't be happening, the bird was just a wiseguy #monsterdon

Poor Jack. He's trying to get out of this film, but those two keep dragging him back into the fray. #Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Lenore asked very excitedly about the torture.

#Monsterdon

@randy_s You mean other than rolling over in his grave that so many of us thought this was a good representation of his work to watch?

I was going to put in a joke in bad taste about about his personal life here, but I'll just quote to the wikipedia page about his wife

"Virginia Eliza Poe (née Clemm; August 15, 1822 – January 30, 1847) was the wife of the American writer Edgar Allan Poe. The couple were first cousins and publicly married when Virginia Clemm was 13 and Poe was 27. Biographers disagree as to the nature of the couple's relationship."

#Monsterdon

He's cravin' something, but it's not Erasmus.

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Oh wait the whole beef is that VP is a scab sorcerer. This movie is about trade union protectionism

#Monsterdon

oh, I thought he was going to say "his daughter"

#monsterdon

"it's not craven i want it's his magic" you mean like his dinky finger laser??

#monsterdon

Meanwhile, Dr. Craven is just chilling out, asleep through this whole situation.

#Monsterdon

The Raven is a freaking TRAITOR?!?!? #Monsterdon

Don't just sneak, mince about

#Monsterdon

@JoeWynne you had me at sexy, 1963 Time magazine #Monsterdon

Just stop it with the shitty editing special effect, it doesn't work

#Monsterdon

Dr. Bedlo lives! A cunning concealment to make Scarabus think him dead so Bedlo could... can... act without endangering others..? Truthfully they kind of glossed over the "why" of the matter just then to give Bedlo several more chances to halfheartedly berate his son Rexford.

#monsterdon

I want to cosplay as Rexford Belo at #DragonCon.

#Monsterdon

Papa Lorre survived the en-jam-ination!

#monsterdon

incredible that this is just. jack nicholson #monsterdon

@combatwombat The cast is tailor-made for #monsterdon

@combatwombat She's #Monsterdon royalty!

Very 14th Century haircut on young Jack there....

#Monsterdon

“What are you doing in a lady’s room?”

“Father, that’s beside the point.”

“I decide what’s beside the point!”

#Monsterdon

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

ah fuck he's not dead
#monsterdon

Oh yeah - his wife is dead. Hahahaha!

#monsterdon

ah, this is an attempt at more plot, got it.

#monsterdon

@thatdawnperson @Taweret Scarred.me for life. #monsterdon

Lenore's perfectly hat-shaped hair under the hat though #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

You're defending yourself, you coward!!
WAT

Can we join you, lady, when you go? #Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Caskets? In my house? #Monsterdon

Dude. At this point you should know that opening doors never leads to anything good.
#monsterdon

"I'm always fascinating with your utter lack of scruple."

"Yeah, I could never pronounce that word."

#monsterdon

"I was afraid you'd scream."

"You were right."
#monsterdon

Secret passage!

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

If I ever find myself at a Christmas dinner with these dudes I'm NOT having the cranberries #Monsterdon

Has anyone done the Erasmus be draggin' gag yet? #Monsterdon #TheRaven

@allanb They'll get carbon monoxide poisoning (only in Britan) #DeadJokeCountTwo #Monsterdon

Bedlo shot first!

#Monsterdon

Exit Peter Lorre :( #Monsterdon

So the painting got Lenore's eyes right.

#Monsterdon

Lenore looks sane.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "I've come to talk to you about your carriage's extended warranty"

Lenore? No the quoth the Raven...

#Monsterdon
#TheRaven

that look she's making! bahahha.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon I wonder what any ravens are doing?

@Violinknitter Good point!
#monsterdon

@ottaross He wasn't obliterated... he was turned into raspberry jam.

I was expecting someone to propose toast for an evening snack...

#monsterdon

Nicholson really isn't very good in this, he has very unexpressive dialog

#monsterdon

All these people with their erudite subtle transatlantic accents, and here's Jack sounding like he just got off a ferry from fuckin' New Jersey.

#monsterdon #theraven

Wow, like did Jack Nicholson hire a really good acting coach at some point after this film, because, ugh.

#Monsterdon

So, he's dead then?

#monsterdon

"The door is locked and we are trapped in your bedroom."

"What shall we do?"

"I was hoping I might see some twins of evil?"

#monsterdon

#monsterdon This film is an exciting glimpse into a time back before Jack Nicholson learned to act.

@Cherizilla

Oh! He might be a rake!!

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

@Cherizilla

Out the window, and into . a storm over a cliff?

#Monsterdon
#TheRaven

@Cherizilla Go out on the ledge into the storm, of course!

#Monsterdon

If only he had something to break down doors. Like an axe, for example.

#Monsterdon

It's like Alexander Courage wrote the scores for some Scooby Doo cartoons and they just kinda stuck 'em in this #Monsterdon it's amazing!

Furtive gestures? What is this guy, a cop? #Monsterdon

Apparently the son IS Jack Nicholson. #monsterdon

Cave canem!
Ok so you just have to say random latin phrases

#monsterdon #TheRaven #TheRaven1963

Not the jam! ⚡

#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

Wait. Is that son Jack Nicholson?

#Monsterdon

Only one man would DARE give me the raspberry!

LONE STAR!
#Monsterdon #TheRaven1963

So... THIS is Old Man Yaoi, huh? #Monsterdon

Did Loree just get jammed? Is that it for that character? #Monsterdon #TheRaven

#monsterdon Now I've got Peter Lorre on my Persian rug!

Yes, keep your room door locked, Estelle. THAT will keep out a magician.

#Monsterdon

I keep thinking how many snacks and tiny dangerous weapons Estelle could be hiding in her hat and dress

#Monsterdon #TheRaven

oh hey, we've got the raspberry jam jokes

#monsterdon

Doctor Scarabus, don’t act like you didn’t have anything to do with the mysterious lightning strike that turned Dr. Bedlo into raspberry jam.

#Monsterdon

Now everyone is breathing-in Lorre vapors
#monsterdon

Now he's got a limp wand, thanks to the dirty old man

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Well-timed lightning. Never a good sign!
