So much for not saying "death" on the island (well, "dead", but presumably it applies to both)

#Monsterdon

King for a day is a tradition from several religions. Often it is for more than a day, most often a year. Where a person is treated as a king for that time and then sacrificed.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Somebody’s getting resurrected, but we have a theological debate as to whom.

Gotta say that’s not what I think of in life-threatening situations.

You sergent, are the right kind of adult … #Monsterdon

this is what happened behind the special Royal Anointing Tent at the coronation.

#TheWickerMan #Monsterdon

mmm yeah wipe that sweat off with your hair

#monsterdon

#monsterdon This dude is scared shitless lol.

Mr. McGregor like the one who made a rabbit pie out of Peter's dad #monsterdon

btw is Christopher Lee actually a giant? damn #monsterdon

Good lord Howie, you're paler than a vampire. Does the Met not let you go to the beach? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon OK? They're doing a thing?

i'd be mad about an autoharp, but like, actually, this movie is vibes. #monsterdon

Quick .. escape .... into the cave?

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

This is how we march to watch a #monsterdon movie every Sunday. We should declare this canon

Ok now cue the 1970s escape music! #Monsterdon

Next on Chopped.
#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

@strangefour It comes up in Wicker Man 2: Electric Boogaloo. #monsterdon

Seems apropos. https://youtu.be/7i72cbo_qdg?si=mrTsSfd3IR-WsPEh

#Monsterdon

And there it is.

#monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow I mean he is just a cop after all
#monsterdon

Moral of the story: don’t be a virgin if you don’t want to die in a pagan horror movie #monsterdon

#monsterdon hot ladies NEVER chase me around with clappers, wtf??

@trixter only touched by Jesus #monsterdon

@trixter AW SHIT I JUST GOT IT #Monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow Not getting it is why they need him. 8D
#monsterdon

*insert Spinal Tap Stonehenge joke here*
#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

he's a fool, and also a Fool. #monsterdon

He's still... STILL not getting it. #monsterdon #TheWickerMan

#monsterdon The furry party is over I guess.

#Monsterdon This is an awful lot of monologue for the conclusion we’ve already come to.

animals are fine but their acceptability is limited

#monsterdon

This is a grand day our for all the fursonas.
#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

Just over 20 minutes left in the Extended Version, so I'll be on here for some time #monsterdon

Have you considered diversifying your economy instead of murder? Tourism perhaps. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon "no i get to dress up as Ringu girl!"
"fine chris but you pick last next time"

These people obviously don't have TV

#monsterdon

I mean I give alcohol to the ocean god when I sail so I get it
#monsterdon

the poodle looks delighted #monsterdon

Extended cut has a brief wordless scene at a beauty parlor where most of the women are wearing animal masks. #Monsterdon

@Ooze

Perfectly sized answer! Thank you very much!

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

@jonny I know of it as the mummified hand of a murderer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_of_Glory
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Ah. The penny drops. Our cop will be joining the ceremony.

Maybe dressing up as one of the three people that has to do alot of physical acting in this festival was a bad idea mister stick up your ass cop. But you are an ass.
#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

@Taweret #monsterdon

Chop! Chop! Chop! Chop!

Very religious.

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

PUSH HIM OFF THE CLIFF PLEASE ALREADY #monsterdon

It must be really inconvenient to have to have to hold this procession if May Day is pissing down rain, I'd think #monsterdon

C'mon copper, give us a What's All This Then #Monsterdon

time for Howie to f off into the sea, methinks. #monsterdon

@JoeWynne That's too big a question really. It depends on which religion. If you pick Wicca, which is modern pagan witchcraft then there are themes, dipping daggers into chalices, mild bondage, the three fold kiss, the great rite.

#monsterdon

prob going to dream about christopher lee berating me to caper better
#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan1973

#Monsterdon "did you find the girl?"
lmao

Shout-out to the Salmon of Knowledge, one of my favorite mythology guys

#Monsterdon

CALLED IT #Monsterdon

Oh that's a fine Hand of Glory, I do say.
#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

Unless Blacula shows up, which, given the soundtrack, seems to be a distinct possibility. #Monsterdon

@Ooze so, hand of glory, is that real?
#monsterdon

ah, the ol’ hand candle prank #monsterdon

this is just if mastodon was an island

#monsterdon

Cut some capers, man!

#Monsterdon

The girl is making it so damn obvious, and yet King Cop just doesn't fucking see it.

#monsterdon

always a good idea to be plotting loudly outside someone's open bedroom door #monsterdon

There's a company that makes and sells replicas of that candle now. #Monsterdon

A hand of glory ... and a little assault and battery.

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

#Monsterdon Now that’s a waste of wine. Or some very drunk fish.

"Eh, it's no '61, but it's not a half bad vintage. I'll take it."

#TheWickerMan #Monsterdon

"Everything under control?"
"Yes, milord"

MOAR FORESHADOWING #Monsterdon

And now the ale fucks off into the sea. #monsterdon #TheWickerMan

The music in this movie is amazing #Monsterdon

Oh shit it’s furries #Monsterdon

@ramsey The slight chance of beheading might be a little offputting though

#Monsterdon

Alas, my blu-ray is getting scratchy right as we’re hitting the fun bits. #monsterdon

@ramsey I'm in!

#monsterdon

hail! god of the sea! #monsterdon

I kinda want to visit this island on May Day and join in their celebrations. It seems fun.

#Monsterdon

when you get a photographer for your human sacrifice

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

if you like this, go check out Hot Fuzz

Where's the Flavor-aid #monsterdon #thewickerman1973

This film would make anyone hate the Scottish

#monsterdon

codpiece #monsterdon

Dude. You just read about this in the book. 🙄

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan1973

@jonny I can corroborate #monsterdon

Ok, disguised cop! now we are going to see some serious police action!
I wonder if we will have an horseback chase
#monsterdon

“Play the fool! That’s what you’re here for!”

#Monsterdon

final cut just arriving at salmon of knowledge, as indicator of desynchronization #monsterdon

That's a very nice-looking dinghy, I approve #Monsterdon

hail the queen of the may!

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

Behold, Saruman the purple. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Checklist from earlier Exposition:

* Dancing fool (insufficiently foolish)
* Six kilted swordsmen.
* The horse and rider
* Animals, various.

Yup, I think we’ve brought the whole gang to the henge.

What if all your friends get together and fuck with an awful cop for a few days?
#monsterdon

Captain Beefheart would have been right at home on this island.

#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

Fun run. About to get funner. #Monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 party city henge #monsterdon #thewickerman1973

That is a very tiny tub.
Oh they are all having fun trolling him now.
#Monsterdon #TheWickerMan

ok so henges have other uses as well.

#monsterdon

goddammit spinal tap you're all I can see at a henge now

#TheWickerMan #Monsterdon

"Sorry not sorry" #monsterdon

Oh, c'mon he is sleeping with the door open?
#monsterdon

well okay that livened up for a little bit at least

#TheWickerMan #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon that's a helluva trust exercise.
