Hi, I discovered that the Internet Archive has some deleted scenes from tonight's #Monsterdon movie, Starcrash (1979). I am intrigued and horrified regarding (a) what kind of scene is so bad that it gets cut from Monsterdon fare, and (b) the concept of a Monsterdon movie that has enough of a budget that they can afford to cut scenes, and are not basically compelled to put every second they shot on screen.
Anyway I intend to watch them after the main feature if anyone wants to join me.
Another #Monsterdon is in the can!
Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!
Tonight's feature, #TheRaven , from 1963, was another Roger Corman film. Ties to the Edgar Allen Poe piece were superficial at best, with Richard Matheson (the screenplay writer) choosing to take a comedic view to the project. The film was shot in only fifteen days, and contained a large amount of ad-libbed lines, mostly from Peter Lorre. Highlights included:
Vincent Price!
Talking raven!
Magic potion stew!
Diabolical Mind Control!
Raspberry Jam!
Precious Viper!
Finger Manipulation Battle!
Wrapped up a podcast just in time for #monsterdon and y'all I have not seen this movie before!
#Monsterdon starts in 45 minutes!!!
How it works: we all watch a silly sci-fi/monster movie at the same time and comment on it in the #Monsterdon hashtag
Start the film on the hour -- we're watching:
Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001)
