So is my TV currently reassembling Vincent Price's body for the next scene

There's something truly comical about a fly wearing a suit and tie

OK I know this has to go terribly wrong at some point but it's feeling increasingly weird that it hasn't been more foreshadowed by this point

@pngwen@techhub.social I thought he never understood why Dandelo didn't reintegrate, but yeah, if they could reproduce the effect, it totally makes sense
#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheFly1958
Y'know, honestly I feel a little let down by today's #Monsterdon features being too good
Of course you couldn't possibly explain things in a way that makes sense
It's just not allowed in movies
