Folks it is 8pm Eastern and that means there's only one hour left until , the weekly monster movie watch party!

This week we're watching THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM (1961), a Roger Corman grand guignol featuring the very mobile face of Vincent Price!

If you'd like to join us, the flick's free on Tubi or you can download from Archive.org right over here: https://archive.org/details/pit-and-the-pendulum

Be there or bisected!

I'm sorry, son. Your sister came down with Rockinuemonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu.

It is invariably fatal.

"The atmosphere is heavy in here"

Yeah, Corman never had what I'd call a light touch.

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"The coloring, the same configuration"

The same transmission and crankshaft

Nice Tank/Fighter/Healer configuration there

Nicholas, being attacked by his own turtleneck sweater

Seems like a lot of problems would be solved in this castle by the simple introduction of an intercom.

Nicholas climbing the stairs, his last two brain cells bouncing back and forth like one of those plastic clackers

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Almost an hour and so far the only pit we've seen has been the conversation pit.

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"C'mon downstairs, Nick, I've got the wax warming up and the leather straps all ready for you!"

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"Elizabeth, you call me all the way down here in the middle of the night, I'm exhausted, can't it wait for morning?"

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

She looks pretty good for a woman who's been dead three months.

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Wait, are they about to Scooby Doo this shit? Is the doctor making a play for Nick's real estate?
