And there we have it, a film entirely produced based on the Cliff notes of Joseph Campbell’s “The Hero with a Thousand Faces” crossed with a random grab-bag of D&D encounters. Somebody mentioned that there’s a sequel. We will inevitably vote for it in hopes that it includes a scene from Kor’s cyclops honeymoon. #Monsterdon #WizardsOfTheLostKingdom #WizardsOfTheLostKingdom1985

Wait. So at the end Kor just fucks off into Magicland? I can only assume he’s headed back to catch another round of cyclops nookie. #Monsterdon #WizardsOfTheLostKingdom #WizardsOfTheLostKingdom1985

Wait! Did I just see a bare boob in the midst of this? I was *not* expecting that. #Monsterdon #WizardsOfTheLostKingdom #WizardsOfTheLostKingdom1985

The Vincent Price-athon was fun, but it feels as if we’re back in our wheelhouse with a terrible 80s fantasy flick. I have no idea how I didn’t see this one back in the day, but it’s time has come. #Monsterdon #WizardsOfTheLostKingdom #WizardsOfTheLostKingdom1985

I have a feeling there was less a script written for this movie and more a weekend D&D session from which somebody kept notes. #Monsterdon #WizardsOfTheLostKingdom #WizardsOfTheLostKingdom1985

Our swordless hero now has a surprisingly large sword! Oh, now it shrank again. Puberty is like that. #Monsterdon #WizardsOfTheLostKingdom #WizardsOfTheLostKingdom1985

I read a great quote in a recent “Ask Carolyn” advice column, “Sometimes people have a primal need to be wrong.” It explains an awful lot of what I see in the world.

Another late #Monsterdon start for me, so I probably won’t comment much tonight. But I was determined to finish off our Vincent Price festival. It’s been an entertaining month of Vincent! #TheHauntedPalace #TheHauntedPalace1963

Well “The Bat” was quite fun! Just the level I was in the mood for tonight. I think I’ll run my own little #Monsterdon double feature and catch up with the Vincent Price October list with “The House on Haunted Hill,” since I missed it last week. #Monsterdon #TheBat #TheBat1959

This movie makes no sense and is also somehow great all at the same time. Now it’s sucked my wife into its hammy maw. (And let the record show that my wife would make an excellent strong woman in a nightgown.) #Monsterdon #TheBat #TheBat1959

And then because I’m a glutton for punishment, I went back and watched the scene where blue lady dies, and they have the strange confusing battle again to see if I could make any more sense of it this time. Nope. #Monsterdon #JourneyToTheCenterOfTime

Wait! That was the end?! They just fucked off into time? We’ve had a lot of unsatisfying fucking off into [blank] on #Monsterdon, but man, that was a feeble ending. I prefer to think that movie ended with rich dude stuck in a time loop blowing himself up over and over again. #JourneyToTheCenterOfTime
