@CactuarJoe I wouldn't call The She Creature the worst, but it probably was the most ???

#Monsterdon #TheSheCreature

@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!

#monsterdon #theshecreature

?
THE END

#Monsterdon

"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*

#monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon

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.

#Monsterdon

Don't cross a man who can summon a She Creature

#Monsterdon

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

"clever, but absolutely meaningless"

rolls eyes in AI Bubble....

#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

#Monsterdon

...also happy 100th birthday to Dick Van Dyke!

#Monsterdon

Whoa - no way she could raise her arm on command if it wasn't real hypnotism!

#monsterdon

It is custom in a White People Party to stare at the new guest on a platform while you sit in rows...

#Monsterdon

Oof, that "comic relief" of the house staff characters... 😬

#monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon

That dog hates everyone. He's not wrong.

#monsterdon
#TheSheCreature

tuning in a few minutes late, i am extremely pleased to see slick talking 50's wiseguys #monsterdon

"He wants us to follow him"

Ah, the days when everybody spoke fluent Dog.

#Monsterdon

Well, that's two deaders.

King wants us to follow him. What is it, boy?

#Monsterdon #TheSheCreature

"half a million bucks"

wouldn't even buy you a fancy mattress now

#Monsterdon

funny to see an adult's party without cocaine....

#Monsterdon

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!

@LingLass 🎉

"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.)
#Monsterdon #LakeofDracula

@ottaross We learned that Swedish people wear clip-on bow ties

#monsterdon #theshecreature

@jadebees So. Much. Bland. Talking. @_@ #Monsterdon

@yatsu It's all the Bland White Guys Standing Around 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!

❔

@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.

#monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Never have these two options been less appropriate

#Monsterdon #TheSheCreature

@diazona @LingLass oh the Assphix was better than this. #Monsterdon

And they fucked off into the punctuation mark over the sea. Good night!

#Monsterdon

@Louisa They had to make sure you knew that this was a SHE creature.

#monsterdon #TheSheCreature

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.

#monsterdon

Sea-she creature says ACAB

#Monsterdon

The Gun! It does nothing!

#Monsterdon #TheSheCreature

the lack of personal space this guy gives......

#Monsterdon

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

#monsterdon "That voice didn't come from you!"

It did, though. She just said that.

yayy, she had some agency!

#Monsterdon

Is it gonna be a psychic fight?

#monsterdon #theshecreature

@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

#Monsterdon

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!

#monsterdon

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

#monsterdon "Sorry this shot is such poor quality."

"Wonka hides golden ticket in Elizabeth Weatherby book!"

#Monsterdon

I always smoke my pipe when I do lab experiments with dangerous chemicals #monsterdon #TheSheCreature

@jonny *one* plot hole huh

#Monsterdon #TheSheCreature

zzzzzzz
#Monsterdon

She really needs to catch the next bus out of...where ever they are.

#monsterdon

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

#monsterdon Back when the sea farted monsters!!!!

Dick Van Dyke Cockney...

#Monsterdon

"One of the country's leading exponents of psychic research."

"3"

#Monsterdon

"Expose me on this platform"

ok, it's now getting interesting..... will there be 'wet play?'

#Monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon

lol, this is such a "white people's party" isn't it, so stiff!

#Monsterdon

Chekhov's Chekhov

#Monsterdon

Would go to a house party wearing a cape.

#Monsterdon

oh wait they're not italians they're... what in gods name is that accent #monsterdon

What’s with the comedic waiter with the tie? I feel like I’m missing something. #Monsterdon

@Taweret 25 minutes in

#monsterdon

Theremin = monster #Monsterdon #TheSheCreature

I'm a remarkable man 😏 #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.

#monsterdon

"I've been trained to fight stupidity and ignorance"

Sighs in 2025

#Monsterdon

I grew up with tennis racquets like this, pressed in wood frames to keep them from warping.

#monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

his tie yumped off
#monsterdon

"It makes my tie yump off." No, really, that's the accent.

#Monsterdon #TheSheCreature

The materialization of the prehistoric female is a great avant-gard band name
#monsterdon #TheSheCreature

Is this the same fairground where that guy with the magic eyes worked for a bit?

#Monsterdon

haunted oceans, whatever #monsterdon

seaweed in a beach house? that's highly suspicious

#monsterdon

What's that King? Billy is trapped in the mine? No? Zombie sea creatures are taking over the world.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon She died mid-eye-roll. Must have had to deal with a naked sunbather with self-images of grandeur…

They're not dead, just tired
#monsterdon #TheSheCreature

"... from the Occult World"

You can hear the capitals.

#Monsterdon #TheSheCreature

tycoons and psychic research farm boys? Could be in LA

#monsterdon

Impressive time to "oh no, is this dog going to be okay"

#Monsterdon
