That was sudden. Thanks, @Taweret for a fun ride that crashed terrifyingly. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

Dude keeps dosing himself he’s gonna end up strapping blackened telescopes to his eyes.
At least if he wrenches his neck he’ll be able to peer through the bottom of his skull to check.

Okay that was amazing, perfect monsterdon movie #xthemanwiththexrayeyes #monsterdon

just make it take a few seconds longer to remove his entire eyeballs i stg

#monsterdon

Told you....

#Monsterdon

Not sure what the credits scene is - can he still see in X-Rays without his eyes now?

#monsterdon

I think I'll keep this one, good times on the old #monsterdon

And there’s the patented abrupt ending.
#Monsterdon

He plucked out his eyes!

#Monsterdon

Hmmm, Religion and Self Harm....

That was a nice shock ending though

#Monsterdon

and that was... that? move along, nothing to see here #monsterdon

Not my sort of movie, but as usual, watching together with all of you on here made it actually fun! Thanks everyone!

#Monsterdon

wait, so that just ended. whut?

#Monsterdon

Oh, so that was HIS eye at the beginning of the film. Cool! #Monsterdon

Kind of the police to recognize a climactic soliloquoy and let it continue without interruption. #monsterdon

I was expecting to make fun of this movie more, but I rather enjoyed it.

They'll be singing halleluja when they come
They'll be singing 'round the mountain when they come...

Yep, I recognize the tune. Riding six white horses...

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's feature, #XTheManWithTheXRayEyes , from 1963, was not about someone who bought a pair of X-Ray spectacles from the back page ads of a comic book. Instead we had,

by the way I will spoil something: there's a line cut.

the line is BUT I CAN STILL SEEEEEEEE #Monsterdon ~Chara

damn what a ride

#monsterdon

That was the cleanest offscreen eye-plucking-out I have ever seen.

#Monsterdon #ManWithXRayEyes

AAAAAHHHHHHH!

#monsterdon

That's quite an interpretation of smeary rainbows. #monsterdon

Wow okay that ended about as abruptly as last week's!

#monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

ewwww eyeplugging, nobody warned me! #Monsterdon

that was the worst oedipus special effect i've ever seen

after a really good scene too lmao

#monsterdon

Dr. No Eyes is here to tell us what he sees.

#Monsterdon

oh they're definitely gonna think he's the devil. #monsterdon

He’s still wearing a suit. So we know it’s the 60s. #Monsterdon

OMG!

#Monsterdon

Oh, right. It was the days when supernatural movies had to reinforce the dominant Vague Christian Belief System.

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXRayEyes

Get the man a spoon he's got a job to do!

#monsterdon
#XTheManWithXrayEyes

Smokescreen of money!

#Monsterdon

oh. oh my.

#monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

...Do Not™ #Monsterdon

If your church is doing call and response with "who do you HATE?" you are in a bad church, folks.

#Monsterdon

New contacts! The reverend is taking all this stride too, "all-seeing eye" and all.

#Monsterdon #ManWithXRayEyes

He drove all the way into the movie Elmer Gantry #monsterdon

Oh yeah great place to go on a Lovecraftian rant. #monsterdon

Sauron?
#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

“I have abandoned my child!!!”

#Monsterdon

at least, pluck out the contacts, that would solve a lot of his problems.

#monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

Good ole fashioned revival tent.

Songs in the Key of X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXRayEyes

Now those contacts are WAY more effective. #Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

No - the center of the universe is on your right

Helicopter is back like the ghost of x-ray eyes future.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon and #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes
Come forward and thave your thouls!!

Completely ignoring the very obviously hurt and in need of assistance man. Good job Christians. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

The dummy was not good lol. But the scene was.

#Monsterdon

Did not see a tent revival with a charismatic character actor. But X does. #Monsterdon

Destroy the preacher with your Xray laser eyes dude!

#Monsterdon

"in the center of the universe" OMG

#Monsterdon

Oh, look it's the aforementioned gods!

#monsterdon

We are now in the tent revival portion of tonight's film.

#Monsterdon #ManWithXRayEyes

And who loves YOU?!

#monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

*Ray Milland enters the revival tent*
<sickos.jpg>

#monsterdon

I'm pretty that long shot in the parking lot was not of Ray Milland, just some guy with his face covered.

#monsterdon

@mariellequinton This is like dropping a lightsaber perfectly vertically

#Monsterdon

So he ditched Dr. Diane in the casino without any cash, not even a suitcase with a change of clothes. I don't really feel sympathetic to him right now #monsterdon

Well Revival Tent in *X: The Man with X-Ray Eyes* #Monsterdon. It's really rather like this. I don't know. I wouldn't recommend. Wow... that's an ending...

This movie is all over the place. Good grief.

#Monsterdon

THE BAND! #Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

Whoops, never mind lol
#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

omg he found his people

#monsterdon

Took the helicopter long enough to find him again

#Monsterdon #ManWithXRayEyes

Ok, this wandering-through-the-desert scene is making me homesick for the summers I spent in the Mojave as a kid. #Monsterdon

@hollie Me after a two-hour afternoon nap.

#monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

#monsterdon I know it's sped up footage and all but that was a pretty fun chase sequence, followed by the perfect crash, especially the 3-4 frames of "kiki" black and white batman POW they threw in there.

Dr. X oughta be waking up in the back of an elder scrolls haywagon after that one.

The, um, California Highway Patrol may have overestimated their ability to prevent his escape.

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

MASH

"What if we made a movie about the leader of the X-Men, but he's an idiot."

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithXRayEyes

Oh hey the car scene finally gives me bingo! It took a while though

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

I'm guessing these eye drops are what the Empire gives to Stormtroopers to help them shoot so well.

An oft-repeated Southwest crime: driving while stupid.

@blue that's the circle of life
#monsterdon

The theremin thinks this is a lot spookier than it is. #Monsterdon

the idea is cool but it's too bad the visual effect they use for his super sight is not great #monsterdon

The travails of a man stumbling from one plot point to another

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXRayEyes

he's going to get taken out by a TRAIN?

guess that's as good a place as any to end this

#Monsterdon

@blue "No, I am _not_ a hobo!"

#monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

I guess they didn't have the budget to actually crash it #monsterdon

@guyjantic I mean he is wanted for murder #monsterdon

...and then the doctor circus man became a hobo...

#monsterdon

@diazona @gnomon Exploding ducks would liven things up at least. #monsterdon

@jivens They didn't even use seatbelts back then!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon What was that ACME coyote crash shit????

It's okay buddy, just lie down and accept your own homosexuality.

#monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes

The playful jaunty high speed chase music involving a helicopter is nice

#Monsterdon

@Louisa I can't believe he went off the road even though he couldn't see it!

#Monsterdon

here comes the gay again
falling on my head like

#monsterdon #XtheManWithTheXrayEyes

Did that crash knock some sense into him?

We'll soon find out dear viewers.
