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

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

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

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

"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

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

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

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

@cptbutton@dice.camp Yep. But not usually depicted as perfectly normal well dressed women though AFAIK. #Ultraman #Monsterdon

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

@Lazarou@mastodon.social Perfidious Gaijin! I've seen The Wind Rises! #Ultraman #Monsterdon

@brooke@bikeshed.vibber.net "and do you want to escalate it to murder?" #Monsterdon #TheBat1959 #TheBat

So is Adam West going to be in this? #Monsterdon #TheBat1959 #TheBat

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

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

Hokkaido Graffiti. Yet more Japanese media George Lucas shamelessly appropriated. #Ultraman #Monsterdon

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

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

"Arashi, I don't feel right about this case. ... Should we just napalm the whole resort to be sure?" #Ultraman #Monsterdon

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

Thanks to global warming, the resort is now abandoned and dilapidated, with only gravel to ski on. #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

Did I count more than two shots from his double-barrel shotgun, or am I just hallucinating like a frozen hunter in the snow? #Ultraman #Monsterdon

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

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

"Who was killed in a forest fire. The fire was carrying a hunting rifle that went off by mistake." #Monsterdon #TheBat1959 #TheBat

The attack-run POV shots really do add a ton of production value to this, don't they? #Ultraman #Monsterdon

"I had my trusty bear murdering shotgun handy, but I saw a woman with a rabbit and decided to intimidate her instead." #Ultraman #Monsterdon

"I think maybe the snow-witch was just imaginary!" "But she was wearing real off-the-rack clothing... She had to be a real person." "Do you want to fill out all the paperwork accusing the entire town of manslaughter?" "Spirit of the mountain it is." #Ultraman #Monsterdon

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

The butler did it? Him being a chauffeur was just a red herring. #Monsterdon #TheBat1959 #TheBat

Character trait is "so gossipy she gossips about wild life". #Monsterdon #TheBat1959 #TheBat

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

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

She's a pinball wizard, there's got to be a twist. Pinball wizard's gotta be a snow witch. #Ultraman #Monsterdon

"The Police did a good job. They said there was definitely no gaping holes in any of the windows, and thus we could be confident there is no psychopathic misogynistic killer putting rabid bats through our transoms." #Monsterdon #TheBat1959 #TheBat

Jessica Fletcher's first brush with real life crime. #Monsterdon #TheBat1959 #TheBat

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

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

"So clearly still breathing." #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill1959

"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

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
