THIS SUNDAY at 9pm Eastern (that's 1am Monday UTC) it's #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party! Come watch a goofy monster movie with a bunch of nerds! This week, our monthlong Vincent Price-fest continues with THE BAT (1959), a murder mystery involving money, madmen in costumes, and you guessed it, BATS. Also stars Agnes Moorehead, so it should be pretty good :D The flick's available free with ads over on Tubi: https://tubitv.com/movies/351000/the-bat Or you can download from Archive.org over here: https://archive.org/details/The_Bat.mpeg Since it's public domain, even Wikipedia has a copy you can watch: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bat_(1959_film) See you this Sunday! #Movies #Cinema #Cinemastodon #Horror #Scifi #VincentPrice #Halloween

XDXDXDXD that was great :D #Monsterdon

I hope we get her again, I ADORE HoverGranny™ :D #Monsterdon

Vince, you've got a real problem with consent. #Monsterdon

"You see, they're loaded." Just like the newspaper editor over there. #Monsterdon

C'mon HoverGranny™ c'mon down! #Monsterdon

The thing about the 1950s is that the men were all kind of vaguely box-shaped. #Monsterdon

YOU CAN SEE THE STRING, GIRL #Monsterdon

Vince walking into his room like "♫ Who... Who will I kiiiiill♪" #Monsterdon

"Lock yourself in and keep quiet." After all, we know for sure there aren't any secret passages or hidden pathways in this house that a killer could use to sneak up on you! #Monsterdon

You think the caretakers had a routine to maintain the door creaks? #Monsterdon

@xerozohar@retro.pizza That's After-Death Thecurity Thythtemth. #Monsterdon

"No... She was mehdahed." #Monsterdon

SUDDENLY, A POWER FAILURE #Monsterdon

THE SPLIT-UPS ARE SPLITTING UP!? #Monsterdon

Lance, girl, YOU'RE in danger. #Monsterdon

"Are you sure about this?" I dunno, it could've been someone ELSE being played by Vincent Price. Fuck off, flyboy! #Monsterdon

GET OUT OF THE HOUSE, NOW! why, the ghosts? NO YOU FOOL IT'S A FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT, YOU'LL DROWN #Monsterdon

To hang your wife once may be considered bad luck, but to hang your wife twice begins to look like carelessness. #Monsterdon

Aaaand the skeleton gently nudges her into the acid. #Monsterdon

"Now there are nine." A whole dwarf-lot! #Monsterdon

I'm gonna backhand this condescending psychiatrist. #Monsterdon

Hey, they got her into a gauzy nightdress. The movie's true goal has been achieved. #Monsterdon

THE STRING WAS DIEGETIC!?!?!? #Monsterdon

It's gonna start playing Take Me Out to the Ball Game. #Monsterdon

"I'll be in my room." Waiting to get shot. #Monsterdon

"They've been caretakers here for years." The husband is a professional face grabber and his wife likes to ride segways. #Monsterdon

OH GOD TORGO, NO #Monsterdon

♫ Spooky scary skeletons~ ♪ #Monsterdon

"I'm sure we're not going to go running through the house shooting at each other." FIVE MINUTES LATER: #Monsterdon

Yeah, no, at this point if she was canny at all she'd have immediately turned around and left. #Monsterdon

Chill, Nora, she's just into bondage. Look, see? Informed consent and everything. #Monsterdon

...And one of us is having a great time! Please, continue! :D #Monsterdon

IT WAS A DARK AND STORMY NIGHT #Monsterdon

They lock me in a "haunted" house to try and drive me mad but when spooky shit starts happening I just go "Oh cool, are you using the angled glass trick for that shot? The flexible hose rope from before was super cool, can I see that again?" #monsterdon

"Oh David you ought to be there." SO THAT YOU CAN DIE TOO #Monsterdon

So we all agree the wife's not really dead, right? #Monsterdon

"So beautiful." Don't try to pull a Gomez Adams NOW old man. #Monsterdon

"And we all have guns" 🇺🇸 AMERICA, FUCK YEAH 🇺🇸 #Monsterdon

"What's the use of saying good night?" Sorry, are your MANNERS spectral as well? #Monsterdon

"If I should die..." CUT TO: SHIT-EATING GRIN #Monsterdon

womp-womp #Monsterdon

@signalkilled@mas.to Featuring ◀️ my wife telling me not to feed the cats again tonight. #Monsterdon

GONDOR CALLS FOR AID #Monsterdon

Welp, that's that then. Later, Vince. Pete's turn, next. #Monsterdon

dude don't splash the acid #Monsterdon

OH HO WHAT'S THIS? OUR FINE DOCTOR IN CAHOOTS?? #Monsterdon

RE: https://retro.pizza/@CactuarJoe/117385892671497831 How'd you feel about HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL (1959) last night? You should vote in the poll about it :D #monsterdon #Scifi #horror #movies #cinema #cinemastodon

So, thinking back to the early parts of House on Haunted Hill... So the caretakers were in on it? Did Annabelle pay them off? Did she, like, train the old lady to stay stock still while looking as witchy as possible? "Now hold still, dear" her husband could be heard saying, "I'm gonna pull the rope tied to the hand cart so you float up out of the darkness at the young lady." "And then the closet?" "Right, I have to leave you in the closet until she finds you so you can spook her again." "And HOW much are we getting for this?" "Oh oodles, honey." "Better fuckin' be." #Monsterdon
