@trixter Lot of horny songs and dance numbers to learn #monsterdon

YO! so when folks stop living in the island, they get to join Earth, Wind & Fire!

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

They can weild the word "penis" against Howie like a cross against a vampire #monsterdon

this cop sucks and not just because he's a cop

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

"She's either dead or she's not"

Sir, I don't know how to tell you this but you've landed in a world of myth and metaphor. Your rigid stuff is gonna get met with a bunch of magic crystals and shit. #Monsterdon

This is the original midsommar #Monsterdon

@blogdiva Wait, what? Where’s Sally Fields? #Monsterdon

Mister cop. You are the beetle. Keep circling.
#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

You could tell it was a lie when a dozen adolescents agreed on anything. #monsterdon

@SteveKLord He does seem a wee bit out of place. #Monsterdon

The most impotent cop that ever was. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon this lady's elocution style reminds me of myself describing Space Jam

The Rites and Rituals of May Day CHAPTER 5!? That's a lot of rites and rituals. #monsterdon

go ahead and cuff 'em officer, on this island, they'd probably enjoy it. #Monsterdon

May Day fell on Shut The Fuck Up Friday this year. #monsterdon #TheWickerMan

You're in a classroom and you come across a beetle in a desk. It's tied to a nail with a string. The beetle crawls around the nail until it's stuck to it, unable to move. You could reach out and untie it, but you don't. You're not helping it. Why aren't you helping it?

Decent chance these kids killed their classmate and I'm still rooting against PC Probable Cause here #Monsterdon

@wohali #Monsterdon “No dark sarcasm in the classroom…”

I loooove the Maypole song! I remember the first time I heard it Cécile Corbel was the one singing it #Monsterdon

https://youtu.be/9Uj8PCDeamM?si=uyaKPL8cJ8vscCpp

Belthane term?

I know the movie isn't going for subtle but that's just as obvious (if not moreso?) than the maypole.

#Monsterdon

What a dick. Fuck that guy for yelling and sneering down at a child. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Stay strong, girls. Snitches get stitches.

I think this cop might be a little uncomfortable on this Island

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon The schoolchildren say ACAB.

this really is the foundation of the "white people gone wild" film genre isn't it #monsterdon #thewickerman1973

I am fully convinced that that weird musical instrument must mess with your brain in the long term #monsterdon

#monsterdon wow, cult goals

#monsterdon Ah yes, the report card. And they lied because they're sus as fuck.

Just jumping in at the 28min mark (1973 version)
#Monsterdon
#latetomonsterdon

belthane term

#TheWickerMan #Monsterdon

We don't need to friggin' warrant, this is 1973! #Monsterdon

A phallus! A penis!
This cop hates sex ed. Okay so we are meant to hate his ass yes?
#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

Poor old thing

#TheWickerMan #monsterdon

It's both the girl's name and how you get the hell off this island: Rowin' more and soon! (Rowan Morrison)
#monsterdon

These kids really know how to dance in the most disconcerting way.

#Monsterdon

some of these lyrics just mean nothing i swear to god

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

Some hard core Arnold Rimmer vibes in the school scene here. #monsterdon #TheWickerMan

[may tree guy singing] i am also very not ADR'd!

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

#Monsterdon oh i forgot the lazytown guy gets a song

#Monsterdon Just in case we missed it, a Teacher is explaining the Symbolism to a middle school class, which is amazingly not snickering constantly.

Ever have one of those days when cops just stare at kids and a teacher's ass through a window?
#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

the scandalized tilt of his head as she says, "...religions such as ours..." #monsterdon

<raises hand> "Will this be on the test?"

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

"Could I have a word with you please miss?"

I need to be a stooge at you. #Monsterdon

Vague, weird soliloquoy delivered to snails, check. #Monsterdon

What a jerk!
#monsterdon

LOL, the look on the cop's face as he walks in on the teacher actually using the word "penis" to a group full of children. 😆

#Monsterdon

This is the schoolroom the liberals want #monsterdon

Ok. There is a LOT of singing. #Monsterdon

Well, that was pretty forward of her. “I thought you were coming to see me last night. I invited you.”

And here, I thought that was all in their heads.

#Monsterdon

dude is fever dreaming about snails down BAD

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

"Phallic symbol" is one of the few things I remember from the Nic Cage version. #Monsterdon

TOUCH THE PENIS

#monsterdon

Eh, go ahead, man. You'll have fun #monsterdon

#Monsterdon hey there are major differences between this plifered cut and my old dvd

gently, johnny, my jingalo

these can't be real lyrics what the fuck is a jingalo

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

Oh my good god, somebody smash that guitar! #monsterdon

The connection between the tree and the bed in this son is kinda loose ngl

#Monsterdon

i have spun a maypole at a few anarchist/labor may days and i think we were missing a lot of the meaning of the ritual and especially all this freaking style #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan1973 Annnnd.... dropping out this night, dinnertime is in ground floor and they probably have another movie set up.

25 minutes mark

The naked singer is seriously freaking out the cop. Is there some way he knows? Or does he just hate that song? #Monsterdon

That's what it was like before dating apps
#monsterdon #FeelingOld

As Hatsune Miku once said "Snail! Wow!" #Monsterdon

Let us be free and have clammy, godless sex, as the humble snails do

#Monsterdon

I don’t know what just happened. The soundtrack just became part of the action, and there’s naked dancing and singing, and she’s smacking herself and the walls. Does this count as “horny and confused” on the bingo card?

#Monsterdon

Pitch: It’s like “Hair” but worse.
Studio: Brilliant!

#Monsterdon

@RufusJCooter So maybe an urban legend, maybe not, but I've heard the idea behind the sweaters is that if you drown at sea while fishing and your family has a unique sweater pattern they can ID the body no matter how damaged it might be.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Maypole Symbolism! Also, variant on “The bog down in the valley o” with much more Symbolic lyrics.

"i think i could turn and live with animals"

:therian: ?

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

Not far in and we’re already checking off a bunch of #monsterdonBingo squares: Bursting into Song, Christopher Lee is Ominous, Corn Rigs and Barley Rigs, Chocolate Animals.

Mostly Bursting into Song, though. #monsterdon

🎵 In the woods there grew a tree and a fine fine tree was he

and on that tree there was a limb and on that limb there was a branch and on that branch there was a nest and in that nest there was an egg and in that egg there was a bird and from that bird a feather came and of that feather was a bed

and on that bed there was a girl and on that girl there was a man and on that man there was a seed and on that seed there was a boy and from that boy there was a man and for that man there was a grave and from that grave there grew a tree

In the Summerisle, Summerisle, Summerisle, Summerisle wood 🎵
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon
I need the soundtrack to this movie. No, just kidding.

Policeman in the schoolroom for the sex ed lesson....is this Texas?

#monsterdon

I love the maypole scene and song. #monsterdon

(um... it's very weird hearing songs your mom used to sing you in a movie with lots of naked people in it.) #monsterdon

@himbovoorhees i am going to have so much reading to do after this movie lol thank you :) #monsterdon

Note: singing and dancing and tapping on the walls in the next room falls somewhat short of an invitation

#Monsterdon

And the green grass grows all around all around and the green grass grows all around #Monsterdon

I'm falling behind on the songs sorry! #Monsterdon

All orgies should be shot in slow motion for added drama #Monsterdon

she swallowed a horse

she died of course

#TheWickerMan #Monsterdon

Wait, this isn't how I remember Rattlin' Bog going...

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

Sex ed in the 1970s sure was weird.

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

jaw harp jaw harp! #monsterdon

Look, I can be art-y about this film. About this scene is about the siren call of paganism away from the repression and strictness of Christianity in the face of sexual tension.

It is, also, a rather strange scene that works better on a stage production.

#monsterdon

AND IT'S MAY DAY

Yeah, no, I'm absolutely right, they're gonna strip the flesh from his bones for the Green Man. #Monsterdon

Hi ho the rattlin bog I guess

#Monsterdon

This always happens. Whenever I book a hotel room the people in the next room are singing and slapping the walls. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Our Anglican (?) policeman is Tempted. But he’s English, so no sex please.

We have reached the point where I have *no* idea what's going quicker than usual

#Monsterdon

gotta love a good mouth harp

#Monsterdon

What, copper, never seen an outdoor orgy before?

#monsterdon

@plaidtron3000
Neither was the cast when the director came in halfway through filming and said they were going to make a musical. During production, the director started to see that music was going to be a very important part of the film.

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

The great rite

#TheWickerMan #monsterdon

Why's my orgy all snails and clothes? #Monsterdon

Cover your shame, sarge! #Monsterdon

What this room needs is a bunch of nice cuckoo clocks on the wall #monsterdon

#monsterdon Wicker Man (Prime Version): Excellent buzzing the camera there "Caught ya lookin' at me bum there!"

They're gonna have to windex both of those picture frames later. #Monsterdon

i like this incarnation of The Master, she's very good at it

#TheWickerMan #Monsterdon
