ol' Count Meltyface #monsterdon

@Infoseepage @strangefour I remember a company in midtown Manhattan that sold used props, I don't know whether it was to the public or to other film producers #monsterdon

That was definitely a movie #monsterdon

Now that was Definitely not through the heart. #monsterdon

The way to root out evil is to, uh... nip it in the bud. 😃 #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Despite the best efforts of the buffering demons, I have finished #TwinsOfEvil I award it 4 out of 5 Needlessly Large Hats for being disproportionately entertaining.

I particularly enjoyed the Quirky Posse of Evil, led by the snobby Count Crabbycakes, but also including such luminaries as Shirtless Grunting Guy, 19th Century Butler, Fake Satanist Priests and Snarky Witch Girl. I also enjoyed the 16th century vampire science, Peter Cushing being grouchy and the twins being weird.

@paco Wondering how many other #monsterdon themed movies have been made with Playboy models. For historical curiosity

“Quality” fight choreography #monsterdon

@strangefour Yeah... No #monsterdon

@moira That was my intent. #Monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie (we thank you for your service of setting that up)

#monsterdon #TwinsOfEvil

@davesdogmaggie much like the men who directed them

#monsterdon #TwinsOfEvil

thanks @Taweret@octodon.social for hosting & to everyone for the posts!

sleep tight & may your dreams be full of frilly shirts and/or sheer nightgowns and/or over-the-top hats
#monsterdon #TwinsOfEvil

So how's Maria going to explain this to the folks back home when she gets there solo? Awkward #monsterdon

Uughhgaaahh the fake blood got in my eyes! #monsterdon

Another great #Monsterdon! Thanks @Taweret and everyone!

wouldst thou like to live ... leathery?

#monsterdon #TwinsOfEvil

@strangefour TBH as part of #Monsterdon I would love to see a vampire clown

Well first his plan was to slap her but then he thought, wait, I've got a tunnel! And that was his second plan. The point of the first plan? None. #monsterdon

Tubi wants to play Vampire Circus next? That doesn't sound like a good title. I do not want to see a vampire clown.
#Monsterdon #TwinsofEvil

@strangefour That was a great moment in a very uneven film. #monsterdon #TwinsOfEvil

The moral of the story is that nice young ladies from Venice can't be expected to pick up on all the local customs without a proper orientation first, preferably with diagrams and mnemonics, so if you just leave it up to chance you may be disappointed #monsterdon

@ramsey Huh. I guess I can kind of see how that may have been the intent, but if so, mission failed

#Monsterdon

As always, thanks for a fun time at #monsterdon, @Taweret!

And back to the Barbie font for the happy ending! #Monsterdon

Kinda hoped the Good Twin was turned and the final scene was her winking to the camera like Hannibal Lector off to mischief

#monsterdon

@brooke Exactly! You don’t *burn* them! You stake them through the heart, for goodness sake! #Monsterdon

Virtue is measured in sparks. #monsterdon

#monsterdon so this isn't a Mike Hammer franchise film then...

I wanted to axe you about your back! #Monsterdon (I'm sorry someone may have tooted this, the feed was MOVING tonight)

oh, hey, both men did in fact lose the movie! Wahoo!

#Monsterdon

Hooray Gustav is double dead. Long live the also horrible vampire... oh never mind. Well maybe. Kinda missed his heart there.
#Monsterdon #TwinsofEvil

That was a surprisingly coherent film. The protagonists read a lot differently 53 years later. Thanks for the fun hang everybody! Here's the bingo card at the end, still only one line complete! #Monsterdon

More like #BOOBSTERDON tonight. 😆
#MONSTERDON

I told you this was going to be the best #Monsterdon ever.

"So what is it you wanted to ax me?" #monsterdon

I guess in the General Metropolitan Area of the Heart was good enough

THE END

Do was creepy preacher man truly redeemed by his Final Act? I dunno the Vampires seemed to be the most likeable lot in this one but I am kinda odd myself

Thanks for another fabulous #Monsterdon @Taweret ! It was actually pretty good relatively speaking... I would watch it again for #Mastoween

I keep forgetting that older movies like this have no wrap up they just hit their Climax and it's over, roll credits

#Monsterdon #TwinsOfEvil

The ruby slipper! #Monsterdon

@Infoseepage Maybe they can only come out during daylight hours on Taco Tuesdays #monsterdon

Damn, Gustav is GOOD on this beheading stuff!
#monsterdon

tbh i love how abruptly a lot of these old movies end ​:BlobCat_SmilingOpenMouth:​
#monsterdon #TwinsOfEvil

@diazona Sequel, like "Threesome of Evil"? #monsterdon

@SeanAloysiusOBrien

If you're reading this, you're at the tail end of a long stream of posts on the feed about #Monsterdon, a fediverse community movie-watching event. This week we watched TWINS OF EVIL (1971). See the post at the top of this thread for more info:

https://hachyderm.io/@SnoopJ/111004128276431553

I think the main lesson we can all take from this film is, if you're a woman you're only allowed to have agency if you're evil. So go out there and vamp it up, ladies, you've got nothing to lose :D #Monsterdon

Ah, poor Gustav. But Anton got the Count!
#MONSTERDON

(i would watch a re-write where Frieda becomes vampire with the Count, Maria becomes vampire hunter with Anton, Gustav can still die at the hands of the Count and Anton spears him, but Maria vs Frieda in the cave with Maria Victorious could be a legit heart-wrenching scene. in a better movie, of course.) #monsterdon

Definitely good sets, definitely good both villains died, good luck to Anton at trying to reform the Brotherhood from the inside, good lack of denouement, sure hope nobody minds the Emperor sending in troops to kill everyone in the village in retaliation.

#monsterdon #TwinsOfEvil

Did the emperor end up sending his troops in to burn the village after all then?

#Monsterdon #TwinsOfEvil

@Sorl

She uses boobs out to break the ice.

#Monsterdon 👯 #TwinsOfEvil

They said a few times that the Duke "protected the village".

I wonder how. He had no army or palace guard. #Monsterdon

Reading #Monsterdon tonight and there's a Tinder joke just lying around here, waiting to be picked up.

THE END

"Grr... argh...."

Thanks @Taweret ! #monsterdon

@SeanAloysiusOBrien Sequel time!

#Monsterdon

Do Elon next

#Monsterdon #TwinsOfEvil

Such a good movie! Seen it a couple times over the years, but this was the 1st time I picked up on the Marxist angle of it all...

Thanks everyone for watching along! Thanks @Taweret for hosting! Have a great week & see you next Sunday!

#monsterdon

And, in true #monsterdon fashion, the idea of denouement is simply absurd. Stab the monster, monster dies, credits!

And Done. Needed more cephalopod harpsichord if you ask me. Thanks again to @Taweret for hosting. That one left a bitter taste. #monsterdon #TwinsOfEvil

@SnoopJ god and satan droolz, science man roolz

#Monsterdon

@SeanAloysiusOBrien Just an unfortunate case of alopecia #monsterdon

#monsterdon oooo we've got a hammer bodycount

That was a good one! Lots of cleavage, some boob, and great lighting.

#Monsterdon #TwinsOfEvil

Aaand…roll violently magenta credits!

Thanks @Taweret for hosting, as always, and @cheribaker for the bingo!

we should definitely watch more Hammer Horror imo

#Monsterdon

They misspelled "Goaler". #monsterdon #twinsofevil

#Monsterdon Suddenly, an ending! (As is Tradition.). But there’s no sea for anyone to fuck off into.

That was fun :D #Monsterdon

Well that was a film. Thanks friends and @Taweret #Monsterdon #TwinsOfEvil

That was a fun one. Thanks @Taweret and thank you #monsterdon

Yay

#Monsterdon #TwinsOfEvil

wow, thanks all for a great #monsterdon and to @Taweret for organizing I don’t know what I was expecting but it wasn’t that and it was incredible!

HAH! Karnstein is a scared littl vampire boy.
Now if only he and Cushing can kill each other at the same time for a sorta happy ending.
#Monsterdon #TwinsofEvil

Excellent follow through by Cushing, he must have been working with a pro trainer #monsterdon

#monsterdon Yay! A happy wrap up, or at least, The End. Either way! Another truly lovely flick from Hammer Films! Thank you @Taweret@octodon.social !

Joachim would be awesome on game night!
#monsterdon

@jonny If you believe the weird aristocratic ranting, you get “pleasures” #monsterdon

Ah the good old crossfade to speed up decaying effect, the only vampire thing the sfx department had the budget for #monsterdon

I _really_ wish Maria had been the one to rise up and kill the count. But OH WELL!

And that's a wrap. Cheers all and see you for more next week!

#Monsterdon

BAM the end.

#Monsterdon #TwinsOfEvil

That was AWESOME (ly bad) #Monsterdon

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's feature, #TwinsOfEvil, from 1971, provided a heaping serving of double trouble along with,
- Actual twins!
- Purple Devil Squad!
- Insta Vampires!
- Puritan Pyros!
- A simple case of switcheroo!
- Vampire charades!
- Puritan tossing!
- Vampire stabbing!

Wait, that was his heart? Looked like he took it in the stomach. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon The Count down to zero.

DECAPITATION! Damn.
#Monsterdon #TwinsofEvil

He died as he lived -- leathery. #Monsterdon

Whole lotta hot sauce splashing around here #monsterdon

TIL vampire death involves going bald

#Monsterdon

peter cushing honestly deserved that for rushing ahead of the team and being a hero instead of passing the ball to the spear javelin guy to finish off the push #monsterdon

That's not a wooden stake, and it's also way low and to the left. #monsterdon #twinsofevil

whoah that guy is really ugly, you can tell because they put a bald cap on him

#Monsterdon

it's really contagious how they are happy to use axes and wooden stakes
#monsterdon

Hey that doesn't count. That was a metal stake to the stomach.

#Monsterdon #TwinsOfEvil

SPLAT #monsterdon

Maybe cut his head off too, just to make sure? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Gustav finds God not keen on protecting witch- burners.

Ha ha ha, he died BALD :P #Monsterdon

Kick some ass Joachim!
Wait is he a vampire too?
He deserved better. But man he drew alot of blood.
#Monsterdon #TwinsofEvil

What a throw though

#Monsterdon

Anton would later take home the gold in the javelin. #monsterdon #TwinsOfEvil

Did Gustav miss on purpose? That looked like it was on purpose. #Monsterdon

didn't know you had to stab a vampire in the spleen to kill em. #monsterdon
