Have a seat. Make yourselves comfortable.

#monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature #WaxWork1988

Great heist movie music

now this movie just needs a heist

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #Waxwork1988

@jgamble

What about David Warner dressed as Willy Wonka?

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru #Waxwork1988

@diazona Jury is still out for me
#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

This is listed as a comedy

I still don’t know what that was but it’s over so there’s that. #Monsterdon

This being the director's first movie almost makes sense why it's a sloppy mess.
His second movie was a vampire flick starring David Carradine and Bruce Campbell. Well shit we're gonna end up seeing that someday.
#Monsterdon #WaxWork

This is a little prior to Tails from the Crypt..
... anyone get the sense someone caught wind of the development of that and tried to jump the gun with their own project?

Because these felt like some sub-Tails From the Crypt scripts that were bodged together artlessly.

Thanks @ryan for hosting and the gang for laying into it! :D

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru #Waxwork1988

Song choice: Cuz it all started with them going to a "private party" at the wax museum? I dunno

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru #Waxwork1988

Well, at least this movie had actual monsters instead of some random guy in a rubber mask???

#monsterdondoublefeature #WaxWork1988 #Monsterdon

Thanks @Taweret for hosting, @ryan for the double feature and everyone for everything else 🥳 #monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature

The fuck is this ending song choice? Writer/director your movie is bad and you should feel bad.
Waxwork: 1/5 stars
David Warner: 5/5 Davids Warner

Why does the hand sound like a mouse??

#monsterdondoublefeature #WaxWork1988 #Monsterdon

@cargot_robbie God, where to begin. lol #Monsterdon #WrongWax 👹🍿🎥 #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

Apparently the hand survived?

*Thing from Addams Family snaps his fingers*
#Monsterdon #WaxWork

Oh that fire superimposed over the window was really bad. Like super bad.
But the miniature in the next cut looks fine. Again this movie has good and bad special effects right next to each other.
#Monsterdon #WaxWork

How do you push a man over a railing and not have him land in the boiling vat of wax?? You suck movie.
#Monsterdon #WaxWork

On paper this movie could be awesome. but at almost every turn (not involving David Warner) it's pretty shit.
#Monsterdon #WaxWork

Being a real man is all about winning swordfights

Another case of several different movies fighting for supremacy inside one feature.

#Waxwork_1988

Another butler makes a sacrifice for his rich spoiled asshole of a charge.
Did someone just Dirty Harry a bat? The comedy is so rare and random it kinda doesn't work.
#Monsterdon #WaxWork

McNee said "If even one of them gets out, they'll infect the whole world".

... uh, what happened to the cheek sample the detective took? Was that from a visit before he ran into the mummy or the same one?

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #Waxwork

@Terencio and what we got is more like "impale things = good"

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #Waxwork1988

David Warner's plans all destroyed by the fight sequence from the climax of Blazing Saddles.

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #Waxwork

13 before the movie
2 the first night
1 cop
2 more tonight

Yeah, 18

#Monsterdon

#Waxwork_1988

People wanted a movie where the waxwork figures come alive and kill people.
The movie gave you waxworks that come alive and kill people.

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #Waxwork

Finally! A decent mullet!

@Lazarou it totally is

I'd be amused if her being so into her kink that she doesn't even care about the fate of her friends or the world is what ultimately breaks the evil plan.

Like Homer and the infinite doughnut machine.

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #Waxwork

Oh I've had worse whippings in Baldur's Gate. You'll be fine girl.
#Monsterdon #WaxWork

Marques de Safework isn't the real evil one here, it's the shitty noble pulling his strings.
#Monsterdon #WaxWork

All of humanity is on the line; it's an apocalypse if they fail; but the protagonist is too shit scared of getting charged with arson to just make a sufficient quantity of petrol-bombs loaded into a van to guarantee no-one's dousing shit.

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #Waxwork

Dave Coulier gives an exposition dump
#WaxWork1988 #monsterdondoublefeature #monsterdon

So are we supposed to care about Billy from Gremlins because his rich grandpa was killed by his own butler a century ago? because some of his shitty friends died? He's still a rich spoiled asshole.

The mummy is named Raul??? Is the mummy from Egypt by way of Spain???

The butler is Mihaly Meszaros who played Alf around that time: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0582361 #monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru #Waxwork1988

You had to be a chain smoker in the 80's, it's the rules

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #Waxwork1988

Thirteen people have gone missing and this isn’t news throughout the entire town??? Especially when the waxworks is in the wealthiest part of town???

#monsterdondoublefeature #Monsterdon #WaxWork1988

I assume that, in addition to Twilight, the 50 Shades of Grey woman saw this movie and identified with the frump and her de Sade curiosity.

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #Waxwork

Fingers crossed that rich-kid annoying smoker bad boyfriend guy is going to accidentally get drawn into the other chick's personalised waxwork annihilation fantasy and bummed to death by de Sade.

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #Waxwork

Should've worn these. #monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature

@Lazarou You missed.... a lot! #Monsterdon #WrongWax 👹🍿🎥 #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

Kill them a little fast now David Warner.
#Monsterdon #WaxWork

Is someone calling you "My Beauty" ever the good guy?

#Monsterdon
#MonsterdonDoubleFeature
#Waxwork_1988

@Lazarou lol ikr, that's a new way to kill a vampire

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #Waxwork1988

Two knives perpendicular can make a cross? Then doing this whole scene in a room where all the grout in the room makes dozens of crosses is a choice

#monsterdondoublefeature #Monsterdon #WaxWork1988

too easy

@ohiofi

Which film had the better concert scene? The Lost Boys... or Grizzly 2: The Revenge?

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru #Waxwork1988

Inter-Vampire cucking.

"Wow, what an intense dream. Did I accidentally spike my own tea with LSD again?"

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace?

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru #Waxwork1988

I guess staring your guest down until she takes the first bite of food is just vampire manners

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #Waxwork1988

The Lost Boys ripoff?

Yeah, she loves raw meat that gets a little salty.
Eat up that syrup, thatta girl.

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #Waxwork

@Lazarou He's feeding you a person, dude. #Monsterdon #WrongWax 👹🍿🎥 #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

@Lazarou Valid questions.

#Monsterdon #WrongWax 👹🍿🎥 #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

So now we get vampires. This appears to be variety horror - will the next one be Frankenstein?

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature
#WaxWork1988

So is this gonna be a series of short horror films that don't make sense? And all these shitty kids die? There's worse ways to structure an anthology film, but so far this ain't working.
#Monsterdon #WaxWork

Could he be any slower loading that gun? He definitely wanted that guy dead.

#Monsterdon #WrongWax 👹🍿🎥 #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

Aww, don't shoot something with such cute ears!

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru #Waxwork1988

@ohiofi The guy who played Bobby in Twin Peaks is about to get eaten by the guy who says "Indy!" in the Indiana Jones movie. Not the dad, the one from the first movie. Transformed into a werewolf, though. #monsterdon

Wait... did he just travel back in time?

China dosing obnoxious boyfriend with LSD on at least one prior occasion. Checks out.
She'd established she was bored with the relationship.

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #Waxwork

All of these “waxworks” look like humans barely able to keep from moving

#monsterdondoublefeature #Monsterdon #WaxWork1988

I wasn't expecting a transdimensional portal

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru #Waxwork1988

So these kids are so rich and privileged they have never seen a supermarket automatic door?

David Warner please kill them all. Well maybe not China, she's atleast amusingly bitchy.
#Monsterdon #WaxWork

What is a soundtrack anyway?

@jgamble Not even if Paris Hilton is one of the exhibits.

German Professors were a problem back in 1960, but 1988?

Is this professor more or less self-aware than Elon when he raises his right hand?

"Fascism. Does it work?" Fuck no.
Uh... do we need the flag there? And the racist propaganda poster?
Hitler humor? Movie you are really whipping back and forth.
