monsterdon replay · Best of The Tomb of Ligeia

Thanks @ryan for hosting, y'all for posting & Vincent for ghosting!

"The Boundaries that divide Good movies from Bad movies are easy to cross. Who's to say what's a good movie and what is bad?" -Terencio

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a widowed man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of an undead wife."

The Tomb of Ligeia sounds like a PS1 JRPG sleeper hit

OK, this is just a stupid and rude excuse for entertainment. Awful, but necessary study for Vincent Price Month (which will be more disappointing than you might expect)

Thanks everyone and to @ryan for hosting!

@ryan Thing about Vincent Price is that he was a great actor, but almost every film he was cast in sucks and was a lemon

So I think #TombOfLigeia was just an elaborate plot for Kendrick to retire. He set the whole thing up to get Fell to burn the place down with himself inside. Now he doesn't have to work for that dude any more.

Cat’s got your eyes?

but... wtf does the cat have to do with anything? The cat was the most interesting part of the whole movie.

Trivia: 'Shot on a 25 day schedule in the UK, a big difference to the 15 day schedule used in the US for the previous Roger Corman "Poe" movies. The director attributed the extra time to the British crew's obsession with taking "tea breaks."'

20 years later James Cameron had the same problem on the set of Aliens. #monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature #thetombofligeia1964 #teabreak

Haha, I wonder if the filmmakers of the Italian movie “Death Smiles on a Murderer” copied “The Tomb of Ligeia”. (They put the climactic cat attack scene on the movie poster, but gorier.)

Given that I only just realized Elizabeth Shepherd played both characters, I'm now not sure if I should feel bad or not for wanting Ligeia and Rowena to end up together, at least in slashfic 😅 #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia1964

That was The Legend of Legaia! Thanks again to @ryan for the super awesome miru stream!

I'm going to go have a tea party in an ICO level!

Frankly I'd prefer if the entire movie was from the cat's point of view.

What a wonderful starter dungeon!

Just look at this old castle! Why, Roger Corman could make a whole movie here!

How many messages of fox support before Mastodon Trending thinks this is a furry storm?

Well, that had a lot of potential, and a lot of atmosphere, but as with all Poe & Lovecraft short stories, the conclusion has to be unsatisfying because otherwise the vast cosmic horror doesn't work.

Good effort for a Corman film, on a par with lesser Hammer films.
But I think there was a better plot to be had in the back-half, even preserving the twist.

That was terrible and I enjoyed it! Thanks Miru & all!

This didn't seem like a Corman movie at first, but the way it just sort of dwindled away in the last third then stopped most certainly did #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia1964

#monsterdon #monsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia1964

but for real tho, it's never a bad time with Mr Price. long live The Cat.
