Anyway, this concludes my confused thread for this #monsterdon in which I got all the characters mixed up except for the Evil Doctor and the Possessed Girl and also her um... Bug Girl Fursona or whatever.
Thanks to @Taweret for hosting and to all who endured this movie!
Also I forgot to mention how goofy the she creature's bug girl costume was. It looked it it was made part from armor, part from rubber suit and part from foam squares done up like a stegosaurus. It had extreme 1970s Tokusatsu vibes, but with less um... well... Tokusatsu budget.
by modern standards Dr Lombardi would have been eviscerated by the She Creature, in here he just got a gentle tap and the Monster shuffled off into oblivion
Cheated by the Patriarchy!
@xoagray @Taweret Hey, would you be interested in this? I made a little image generator to create a donation-update image. Might get more attention than just text. Just enter the number and save it: https://combatwombat.github.io/monsterdon-saves-christmas/generator.html
It supports multiple templates, so if someone with more artistic ability wants to make a better one, please :)
@CactuarJoe I wouldn't call The She Creature the worst, but it probably was the most ???
@moira That's a tough one to beat, yeah. She-Creature wasn't GOOD, but I didn't spend the whole thing in pain, so... #Monsterdon
FIRE!
Wait.. are you saying fire because you see a fire? Or fire because you want us to fire our guns?
FIRE!
?
THE END
"There! Fire!"
"At what? I don't see anything?"
"There, where I'm pointing, fire!"
*a half dozen detectives and uniformed police just shrug and start firing vaguely in the direction of the ocean*
What exactly happened?
#monsterdon #TheSheCreature
#Monsterdon It would have been more scientifically accurate if the She-Creature had been a dimetrodon.
With boobs and long hair, of course.
#monsterdon If emptying your pistol into a monster doesn't phase it, maybe don't assume you can take it out with a punch.
Oh good only 10 minutes left in this movie.
adding to the steam, dog, and ocean unexplained subplots, there is the "why are their eyes like that" subplot, with the woman's doll eyelashes and the good doctor's bulged eyes. #monsterdon
I'm just in this for Lombardi's comeuppance, at this point. This guy sucks.
Don't cross a man who can summon a She Creature
there are so many threads they are keeping in the air - the dog, the ocean, the steam, the academic rivalry... you can't just add a love triangle into the middle of all that #monsterdon
#monsterdon Even if you regress her to the "age of the pharaohs" I don't imagine that white lady would have many ancestors in ancient Egypt.
That pipe is full of spit by now
if you go back in time enough then everyone is just like an irish sea monster floating in the abyss of the cosmos #monsterdon
...also happy 100th birthday to Dick Van Dyke!
Whoa - no way she could raise her arm on command if it wasn't real hypnotism!
It is custom in a White People Party to stare at the new guest on a platform while you sit in rows...
Oof, that "comic relief" of the house staff characters... π¬
WHAT is the economic upside of channeling ancient sea monster souls!?!?!?!? #monsterdon
These "vicious dog" sound effects are very much at odds with the generally agreeable countenance of the ol' guy.
That dog hates everyone. He's not wrong.
tuning in a few minutes late, i am extremely pleased to see slick talking 50's wiseguys #monsterdon
funny to see an adult's party without cocaine....
Launching my #monsterdon thread for "The She Creature", a 1956 movie where I guess there is a creature that is also a girl. Other than that, I know nothing about this movie.
Monsterdon is the thing where we watch an old monster movie each week and make fun of it; mute the hash tag if that is not your jam, otherwise follow along and enjoy!
"His eyes were golden. Golden!"
Painting blurry in the background. Head turn.
Dramatic close up!
Burn the cursed eye.
(simple direct visual story telling. Damn it I think I love this movie.)

@ottaross We learned that Swedish people wear clip-on bow ties
@jadebees So. Much. Bland. Talking. @_@ #Monsterdon

Does the dog... find Dracula's vacation house by the lake?
Yes.
#Monsterdon #LakeofDracula
I feel myself getting very sleepy... Very, very, sleepy.. I'm going back in time... I'm not changing my vote to She-Creature...
(sorry everybody)
Thanks again @Taweret and #Monsterdon for another hypnotizing evening!
β
@dogwelder Oh damn I was about to change it to the "goofy costume" but you're right. the dog was the best character, because dog.
I award the She Creature one out of five billowing souls. It probably deserves more because it at least has a plot, but I am fickle and grouchy.
The best character was... um... er... um... the evil Doctor with his strong personality? The determined lead cop? the poor possessed girl? I dunno, someone was the best character.
Maybe that sea turtle from the opening scene? Yeah, the turtle was best character.
@CactuarJoe Never have these two options been less appropriate
@diazona @LingLass oh the Assphix was better than this. #Monsterdon
Because even death cannot keep his monologueing spirit down, Doctor Lamborghini laments that possessed girl could not kill the man she loved and also that no one can do what he has done, then he died.
Anyway, the monster turns invisible and walks across the beach, fucking off into the sea as cops shoot at it.
And they fucked off into the punctuation mark over the sea. Good night!
@Louisa They had to make sure you knew that this was a SHE creature.
I'm not sure if this #monsterdon just made no sense, or if it made sense but I missed an important explanation because I was bored.
To prove that evil doesn't pay, the monster then goes to the rich asshole's house and kills him. Then Doctor Lamborgini tells the monster to kill Doctor Integrity but it kills him instead.
Then it um... stands over the Possessed Girl and summons out her soul while Doctor Integrity watches.
More importantly, we learn that the monster is a She Creature, which is proven by its enormous boobs.
Sea-she creature says ACAB
The Gun! It does nothing!
the lack of personal space this guy gives......

Audience: Your eyes are getting heavy
#Monsterdon
Dorothy is kissing her boyfriend, I think Doctor Integrity, on the beach, so Doctor Lamborghini psychically commands the dog who hates him to kill his rival and that works I guess.
But Dorothy out commands the dog and so one dies, but we learn she can command dogs which is useful if you would like to command dogs.
#monsterdon "That voice didn't come from you!"
It did, though. She just said that.
yayy, she had some agency!
Is it gonna be a psychic fight?
@jonny glad I'm not the only #monsterdon viewer afflicted by the curse of "1950s movie characters all blur together".
Drunk Bob can fuck off
they did the love triangle entirely in subtext and now we are expected to care about the woman being in love with the other hypnotist. if elizabeth's soul was instead like intent on being free then maybe they could motivate the sea creature murders as being just a wild expression of a repressed soul, but making her just be in love with the other hypnotist is such a waste #monsterdon
Fun Fact about The Sea Creature (1956) - the longer you watch it the slower it goes!
An hour into the film and it's the 2nd scene where she's not lying down
#Monsterdon
The she creature hates cars!
#monsterdon #TheSheCreature
ancient sea monsters just hate seeing it when people make out!!!! #monsterdon
#monsterdon Monsters hate it when teens make out.
It's the one thing that enrages them most.
#monsterdon "Sorry this shot is such poor quality."
"Wonka hides golden ticket in Elizabeth Weatherby book!"

I always smoke my pipe when I do lab experiments with dangerous chemicals #monsterdon #TheSheCreature
@jonny *one* plot hole huh
zzzzzzz
#Monsterdon
She really needs to catch the next bus out of...where ever they are.
holy shit! i just found out that there are novelizations of #godzilla and godzilla raids again! guess what i'm reading in a few weeks?! score! #kaiju #monsterdon #bookstodon #books
THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!
No, wait, that's another movie
#monsterdon #TheSheCreature
#monsterdon Just Imagine seeing a hypnotist act and he just casually informs the audience that there's going to be a horrible murder.
That feels like the sort of thing that might cause a lawsuit.
[accents continue]
#monsterdon Back when the sea farted monsters!!!!
Dick Van Dyke Cockney...
"Expose me on this platform"
ok, it's now getting interesting..... will there be 'wet play?'
HAH
Yes of course, all my living room parties make use of the house spotlight. It's as crucial as the chairs and the stemware.
lol, this is such a "white people's party" isn't it, so stiff!
Chekhov's Chekhov
Would go to a house party wearing a cape.
oh wait they're not italians they're... what in gods name is that accent #monsterdon
Whatβs with the comedic waiter with the tie? I feel like Iβm missing something. #Monsterdon
@Taweret 25 minutes in
Theremin = monster #Monsterdon #TheSheCreature
I'm a remarkable man π #Monsterdon #TheSheCreature
"I've been trained to fight stupidity." And yet, here you are in this movie. #monsterdon
"I've been trained to fight stupidity and ignorance...." A line I plan to use in the future.
I grew up with tennis racquets like this, pressed in wood frames to keep them from warping.
the reason i'm wearing a mustache right now is because it's such a good bit and has always been a good bit throughout time. like what are all these guys doing with their faces. why are all their mustaches so goddamn busted? that's just what mustaches are for, for being busted #monsterdon
The dog's bark knocking off a bowtie is a fantastic bit of physical comedy
his tie yumped off
