And now our next act, Mr. Seymour Klopse!
lol, turns out the Doc's safe house was Don Rickle's carnival....
That's that guy who was in every film in the 1980s, from the Terminator to Gremlins, what's his name?
"Continuous Girls Show" implies that they are not discrete #monsterdon
Don Rickles appears!
#monsterdon
Eye Doctor thinks the eyedrops are affecting Doc X's brain and tries to sedate him or something, but then Doc X freaks out and defenestrates the Eye Doctor, then runs away before the police appear.
As he runs away we see some spinning newspapers overlaid that read "Doctor Falls to Death!" and "Doctor's Killer Flees!"
I want to be able to see the mysteries of creation, but not if it involves freaky eye drops...
did he just defenestrate his friend?
That was unexpected
"I also had a half ounce of liquid acid in my coffee for lunch, so give me some room here." #monsterdon
they'll blame you just because it was entirely your fault
#Monsterdon and #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes
You've committed murder.. so at least you won't have to worry about malpractice..
Hmm, the windows in that building seem like a bit of a safety risk.
@ramsey snitches everywhere.... #Monsterdon
Give him a sedagive
"I look at Diane, and she appears a perfect, breathing dissection!"
He's really learned how to talk to women
Wait a minute, the optometrist was in on the kids heart surgery as well?
At the next day we're doing an operation on a girl, and Doc X sees both through a nurse's clothes and through the other doctor's clothes, which the film producer decided is awkward but might indicate something.
Then he goes to do the operation on the girl and is like "I want this girl to live." so he cuts the doctor he saw naked on the hand and does the operation his way to remove the tumor instead of the wrong thing the other doctor was going to try to do.
#monsterdon And just a few short years later the technology was perfected, and available for just $1.

Nurse: Doctor, we could stop him.
Doctor: Nah, he just attacked me so he could cut open a little girl. Let's see how this plays out.
@diazona @Newpa_Hasai a bit hyppocratical of him #monsterdon
"Dammit Jim, you're a doctor, not an X-Ray machine!" #monsterdon
Doctor's been really hitting that tincture. Last night he made me listen to Round Room. I'm running out of patience, Sam.
So it's implied that he's having to re-dose?
X-rays don't work on pearl necklaces...
#monsterdon
Just stare at their dicks Dr X, give into temptation
*Dr X stands with his head in his hands in despair
Oh, he can see into the Future as well then, lol...
Naturally the Doc X's X-ray vision triggers and he sees everyone dancing at the party naked. We don't actually see anything in the version I am watching, other than lots of dancing legs and jiggling nude shoulders.
I thought I would need a Floatybirb Nipple Counter (TM) for this movie, but I was wrong. Such is life.
Anyway, the Lovely Assistant appears and Doc X tells her about her birthmarks to make her feel awkward.
Wait a second, shouldn't he be seeing dancing skeletons?
Hey it's a Bulova no so Accutron
#monsterdon
Okay, they got the everyone-is-naked scene out of the way.
It had to happen. Sexytime xray vision.
#monsterdon
Is... is this... flirting?
#monsterdon Oh god, not... jazz dancing⦠oh...oh god, oh the humanity!!! LOL!
In the next scene the Lovely Assistant meets Doc X to invite him to a Hip 1960s Doctor Party, and he admits that he's still using the eye drops and his super vision comes and goes.
At the hip doctor party, a former student dances with the Lovely Assistant and then a succession of Younger Lovely Ladies appear to flirt with the doctor, a brunette who wanders off to wobble with other people, and a blonde who stays because Doc X looks "urgent" and that's hot I guess.
"I like men who look urgent"
You're in for some trouble lady, maybe go for men who look like people aren't after them for stuff...
They don't dance too bad for white people.
#monsterdon
Cocktail party scene!
βSam your lab coat, thereβs a pen in your shirt pocket! Thereβs a button missing on your shirt! And both of your-β
βI GET THE IDEAβ
#Monsterdon
The horror is: unethically conducted science.
#monsterdon Comic fans, was the Green Goblin already operating on early 60's? This guy is making an Osbourne
I'd like you to meet a Doctor Leary, ok?
#monsterdon
Oh look, America cutting back on Science.....
he's got dalekvision
MORE EYEDROPS
Don't double drop Dr X!
Oh bollocks he did...they'll be peeling him off the walls in 12 hours...
Doc X tried to get his Eye Doctor to go along with this bullshit, and he said no, but by the next scene he's said Yes and is putting the magic eye drops into Doc X's eye. One of them.
We then get some spooky music and kaleidoscope nonsense and Doc X is like "It's like a splitting of the world! More light than I've ever seen!" and then we get Mysterious Music that sounds like it was composed by Alexander Courage.
βSam! I can see your thingy!β #monsterdon
@hollie I mean, someone has to do it. For SCIENCE!
@hollie truth
And his eyes got way better and he lived happily ever after, the end
he wrote the f ing paper, that's not impressive.
And Sam, you're wearing women's underwear!
He'll be the opposite of Arnold Schwarzenegger in Kindergarten Cop
"IT IS A TUMOR"
Forget all the CDC guided studies that take years - we're just going to do it, right here, right now
Doctor... I saw the sign, and it opened up my eyes
"Tilt your head and look directly up" Title of my sex tape
"8 to 10 seconds" Also title of my sex tape.
He Blinded Me With Science!
lol "Better yet, some convicted murderer"
Weren't the Nuremberg trials about this?
"Didn't the monkey die?"
"Yes, but he was a monkey, not a man!"
I've just worked out he's literally 'Dr X', isn't he?
I was reading something a while back where someone found a drug that could make them able to see things. They could even travel in time and space ultimately from it. Then they saw too much and something saw them back and came for them.
The story was horribly translated, kind of poorly written, but I bet it still was a heck of a lot better than this is going to be, lol.
Note to self: REAL researchers call each other "doctor" all the time. #monsterdon
"There are thousands of ways to use X-ray vision"
But looking at naked ladies will probably be how it's used first, admit it....
oh yeah let's do testing on convicted murderers that's humane
"More monkey-killing scientists smoke Chesterfield than any other brand. They're mild!"
#Monsterdon
#monsterdon Your eggs taste.. Fallopian. Ew. LOL
He's totally running some x-ray vision eye experiments as a grift to rip off government research grants. #monsterdon
Attention Fedi:
I bet that coffee is awful
The thrilling COFFEE MACHINE SCENE.
Monkey sees God and dies. FORESHADOWING
#Monsterdon
#XtheManWithTheXrayEyes
Oh yeah--def playing the bingo. Here's my unmarked card:
That was hard to watch.
Saying that, the little monkey switches are adorable
Obviously he had to save that chemical formula in 56 point font on that chalkboard. Obviously. #monsterdon
#monsterdon Patient Zero. Bite him you naughty monkey!
Uh oh, monkey experiments π
That's some serious Mansplaining from Ray there, especially as this lady holds the purse strings.
You tell him off lady!
Now for $1 he wouldn't have to go thru all that research. I wonder how many kids these people scammed. #monsterdon
<<SNORE>>
That's never gonna pass an IRB review.
To be clear, I completely agree with the doctor who wants more wavelength coverage. I'd love to see NUV and NIR.
Lucio Fulci: thatβs a bit too much, Corman
Luis BuΓ±uel: seriously
Oh man Don Rickles. Of all the old-tyme comedians, that guy was perhaps the most abrasive. I mean even more annoying that Rodney Dangerfield.
Does anyone else out there get the distinct impression that we're being watched?
Launching my #monsterdon thread for "The Man with X Ray Eyes", or something like that, a movie that I guess involves x-ray vision. Prior posts suggest that it is gory and gross.
Monsterdon is a thing where we watch a monster movie every week and either praise or make fun of it. Mute the hash tag if you don't want to see all the posts by me about it, or want to avoid tonight's possible gore? Otherwise, follow along and enjoy?
#monsterdon ππππππππππππππππππππππ
Tonights snack for the Milland spectacle are "tomato flavoured tortilla rolls"
My wife demolished the cheese variety of these on Friday.
Lets' go!
BETTE DAVIS, NOOOOOOOOOO #Monsterdon
X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes (1963) #monsterdon now playing on https://miru.miyaku.media :miyaku:
Rev it up #Monsterdon! #XTheManWithTheXrayEyes
@kcarr2015 @SnoopJ Did I miss the fisticuffs?
I really liked this one. I guess it helps that I read the comic first, and the comic could be substantially more creative about the rendering of the story's core premise.
But even without that, I feel like it's a solid entry into #Monsterdon watch history. A little on the cheap side, but it makes good use of what it was doing. I can see why it won the Astronave D'argento.

@RamenCatholic but of course
OH, the rings in his vision are *his eye*. I thought it was strictly a visual device and I guess it is, but it's actually diegetic.
That's uh... really interesting.
I'm going to interpret this as the eye drops catalyzing some kind of conversion of the entire vitreous volume to a sensing organ so as to get around the focus problems this would imply if only the retina is sensing.
[light-hearted flute vehicle chase music]
@Zerofactorial @ottaross Best performance in the film. Actually acting. Nice.
@ottaross Well if he were smart he'd shed the pomposity and just lie about what happened, probably not get convicted #monsterdon
