Well, that had a lot of potential, and a lot of atmosphere, but as with all Poe & Lovecraft short stories, the conclusion has to be unsatisfying because otherwise the vast cosmic horror doesn't work. Good effort for a Corman film, on a par with lesser Hammer films. But I think there was a better plot to be had in the back-half, even preserving the twist. #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia

The cost of heating the secret wing of the house must be pricey. Do you think it being secret helps keep the council tax down? Or is the square footage all declared? #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia

The overuse of this cat is both the zombie episode of Community; and the first episode of Darkplace. #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia

And the twist is that he was only hallucinating the fire and strangling the cat, and actually he was strangling the already dead fox... ... but then he realises him strangling the dead fox was a hallucination, and he was really strangling the corpse of Ligeia... .. but that was also a hallucination, and he was actually just strangling fish-lipped cuck-guy lawyer. #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia

It's impressive. Hypnotised into caring for a corpse so well it doesn't decompose. #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia

Pritchard seems very confident in his ability to stab ghosts with a giant knife for someone who pooh-poohed guns. #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill1959

I hope the twist is that Price is actually just Ligeia in disguise, and Verdon is actually the one in th grave. #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia

"Now, none of you have any motive, and none of you know each other... ... but I *did* actually select you all on the basis that you're homicidal rapists, so I guess we can't rule any of you out." #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill1959

Price seemed awfully confident that the jury would just accept plot points that we, the audience, were the only witnesses of based exclusively on his word. #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill1959

"I wonder how this party will end. Which reminds me, I must consult Anton Chekov, and then make a call to the local acid merchant." #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill1959

"I'm sorry to come upon you unannounced..." "oh pishposh, that's how it always goes with bukkake." #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia

"Of course, do you know how expensive it is to store acid-substitute?" #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill1959

Smaug if the Dwarves had better skills at plating than casting pure gold. #Ultraman #Monsterdon

@Lazarou@mastodon.social Model clearly made from a prototype of a battery powered Sony sex-aid. The Wankman. #Ultraman #Monsterdon

Yeah, I thought Ligeia insisting that unto death they would *not* part was a bit uncool as a dying act... ... especially as it pre-emptively took off the table them forming the partially undead polygamistic threesome. #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia

"Lance... Do you believe that man can combine with a Portuguese man-o-war? Promise me, Lance, if you make it through tonight you'll go to Florida under an assumed name, like Egon, and research if it is possible." #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill1959

"Sorry, I left the cat brush in your bedroom by mistake." #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia

My money says Pritchard gets made into a patsy by The Fat Man and Sam Spade, so that everyone else can fence The Black Bird. #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill1959

Pretty sure the guy asking all the questions at the table was in Yes Minister. #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia

Hang on a minute... ... death certificate? You're still in the same boat you were in if you burn the body. #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia

Speaking of foxes, I peaked out of my window to see what the shrieking noise was coming from outside at half-one a few nights ago, and it was a fox. Not remarkable given where foxes go, what they do, and where I live.. ... just that it was happily walking along the path outside, and I've never properly seen one right by my house before. #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia

Did she just get Guardians of the Galaxy 3'd? #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia

@msh@coales.co Nah, there's a special exemption for people who are "experimenting with wines". #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill1959

Who thought that stealing a flower from a grave that you're prostrate on could be so sexy. Almost makes you forget the undead babe underneath. #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia

"What goes in must come out." #Ultraman #Monsterdon

The irony of all this is that the monsters just want to harmlessly eat iron pyrite and be left in peace, but the crazy gold-obsessed guy found some of the trace amount of gold in their poop that is concentrated by them eating all the ore, and tormented them into violence. By vanquising them, they've accidentally killed the kaiju that lays the golden egg. #Monsterdon #Ultraman

Come on man, get a bit of a hustle on and get that sweet sweet angel to the hospital. Again. Or do you want to be making your own tea next week? #Ultraman #Monsterdon

The credits said the cat was trained by John Holmes... ... trained to do what?! Eeeew! #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia

Saul of the Mole Men time. #Ultraman #Monsterdon

This movie has been heavily carried by the exceptional set design and location shooting, and the cinematography is above average for Corman, but this middle is starting to drag. Is it Poe's fault that we've got a meander in the middle? Or is it padding because insufficient Poe for the movie? #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia

"Say, Laura, do you want to see how the acid pit reacts to fire? Or expired experimental wines?" #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill1959

Ghost zombie-pet fox is secretly a hunt saboteur. #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia

Don't fear for your mind, fear for your dick when your wife-cat figures out you've got a breathing side-piece waiting in the wings. #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia

"Lately, I seem to slip into reveries". "Have you tried methadone replacement therapy?" #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia

@Lazarou@mastodon.social Spoilers: It wasn't established that either the house, or the hill the house was on, was truly haunted. #Monsterdon

China syndrome is especially problematic if you're Japanese. #Ultraman #Monsterdon

"Sing it to us!" "I live up on the fourteenth floor of a tower block, and when I get bored, I call "coo-ee" to the passersby, and when they look up, I gob in their eye! GOB ON YOU!" #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia

Gas lighting, not cool Price. #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia

@RobynGoodfellow@mastodon.murkworks.net I would not like to work in their actuarial department. "So, Ultraman suplexed the monster into our factory..." "... he's really nothing to do with us. We just attended the same disasters and happen to have our vehicles in the same livery." #Ultraman #Monsterdon

"So clearly still breathing." #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill1959

Do you think if she got her own pet fox, it might keep the cat in check? #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia

The only flaw in the plan is the one thing they couldn't account for... ... a giant vat of surprise acid in the cellar. #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill1959

So hypnosis powers, or magic, made him only hallucinate Rowena's death... ... and trick him into strangling her presumably to death... ... but magic means Ligeia is possessing the cat, or he's just deluded himself into thinking the cat is Ligeia... ... but actually the cat is just a dick — possibly because Ligeia hypnotised it into being a dick... ... so he's going to kill the cat and burn down the abbey for the crime of outliving his dead wife. #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia

Oooh, the haunted cigarette burns to tell us we're onto the spooky second reel. #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill1959

"Turn off the headlights!" Stealth mode engaged. #Ultraman #Monsterdon

I don't know if it can be described as a secret passage if you can discover it by just screaming, even if it is a moderate belter. #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia
