(where applicable)

That's a lion, not a raven. Nice try, Corman.

"I'm Leslie Stahl. I'm Mike Wallace. I'm_" *gunshot*

This is a PRIDE COFFIN, BITCHES

Of course, I'd happily listen to Vincent Price read the phone book, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

...You cannot tell me this isn't a Muppet Show bit.

"I brought you your goblet of warm milk, father"

Thank you. And the silver platter of Oreo cookies?

...Oh it's a FUNNY adaptation :/

"You are under an enchantment!"

Yeah, it's called a Corman contract.

This bird's got quite a grocery list.

So he goes into the basement, I can only assume we'll be meeting Death of Rats next. SQUEAK.

...Rabbit's LOG?

Bunny lumberjack maybe? ...Bunberjack.

Yeah, probably don't wanna mention the box of eyeballs to the Raven. Save that for lunchtime.

VINCE

VINCE, STOP

VINCE THAT WHISK SUCKS

VINCE THE POT IS ABOMINABLE

VINCE I'M SENDING YOU A LINK TO THE OXO STORE

OH GOD IT'S PETER LORRE

"Go get some more!"

"Where?"

Walmart, duh.

I think Pete had more dignity when he was being pantsed by Bugs Bunny.

Roger Corman: Naturally an adaptation of one of the most popular gothic poems of all time must concern itself primarily with the politics of half-rate wizards.

This dialogue flows as gracefully as boulders down a mountainside >_>

Close the box, boys, gotta keep her fresh.

"Sleeves are a little long"

They'll ride up with wear.

How bad's the movie? Well, it's no Invasion of the Star Creatures, put it that way.

Hit him with the ol' Vincebeam.

Well, they've got a full party now.

"What about mother? She wants you home!"

"Why"

"I don't know-"

Neither do I, man. Neither do I.

I wish they'd stop trying to be funny. It's just kind of embarrassing.

And now, for your entertainment and enlightenment, twenty full minutes of Jack Nicholson freaking out.

Mm, lime jello castle.

LIVE FROM NEW YORK IT'S SA-oh

...never mind.

Pretty sure I had a house like this in Skyrim.

This is gonna end with the shapeshifting wizard fight from The Sword in the Stone.

Two drinks in, Pete's lookin' to get transmuted into a penguin.

He gets the case back and just brains Scarabus over the head and walks out.

Vulcan salute ain't gonna save you here.

Please don't lick Peter Lorre goo off your fingers, Vince.

So... THIS is Old Man Yaoi, huh?

"We'll have to try it."

Yeah, after all, all work and no play makes... Well, you know.

Awright, NOW we're back to the REAL meat of the movie! Vincent Price opening doors to find nobody standing there and then turning to find them staring at him through the window! Oh yeah, baby!

Corman's the real wizard, he can take a scene with a half-naked lady and transmute it into boring exposition.

Huh, Pete's been un-jammed.

OH MY GOD HE LIT HER HEAD ON FIRE, I- oh

>_>

Four people strapped to slabs of rock and forced to watch a madman prepare their torture

At long last, I can relate to this film.

Quoth the Raven, "Fuck you, got mine."

That's not a torch, that's a flamethrower @_@

Hey doctor, how about a STOOL SAMPLE

In my experience wizard battles are usually carried out with snarky Tumblr DMs.

Erasmus's Instant Plates

He's summoned the Puppy Bowl!

Man. I know I haven't played in a while, but Planeswalker duels are a *lot* different than i remember.

Erasmus's Noclip Curse

FINALLY we get to casting Fireball. He's just been wasting spell slots this whole time.

Yeah, that umbrella's gay enough for Vincent Price.

The Raven: Vincent Price Fingerblasts Boris Karloff for Ninety Solid Minutes

@CactuarJoe didn't level destruction enough

@CactuarJoe ECCM. Enchantment counter counter measures.

@CactuarJoe this is, like, wood league caliber dueling
