#Monsterdon Welcome back. I'll warm up the Anal probe.

#Monsterdon This would have worked as the final shot of the film.

"You don't smoke"

Should he have said "a carton of milk" instead? You're FREE, ma'am, is what he's saying. #Monsterdon

Did their kid evaporate or what? #Monsterdon

Alien
Sex
Tourists

Only reason they'd bother with this world

#Monsterdon

Funny part is it was supposed to be a catheter but they didn't know which end was which

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe

Clapton finished changing his guitar strings.

#Monsterdon

It's not an alien abduction movie without floodlights everywhere. #Monsterdon

@jonny this is based on a real guy's real supposedly nonfiction book, and they kept his real name. it was never going to have a satisfying ending

"When I was a boy we knew of these things. We called them Centauri." #Monsterdon

Hypnosis is like quicksand. All 1980s movies had to have it.

"big thick kids"

just gonna dwell on that line for a minute

#Monsterdon

"I didn't know it was you. That makes it okay that I was wandering around the house three days after Christmas shooting at owls." #Monsterdon

Whitley loading his shotgun in the middle of an argument feels like just a titch of a red flag. #Monsterdon

Oh shit, the greys are blowing the door off this time! They brought Grey SWAT! #Monsterdon

When up on the housetop there arose such a clatter

#monsterdon #communion1989

One day this movie will have something happen again. #Monsterdon

@steggy I'm pretty sure that's a textbook "Sexy Witch" from Spirit Halloween.

#monsterdon

It was a pretty good halloween mask though #monsterdon #communion

@CactuarJoe you're one to talk, Mollari

#monsterdon

TBF Walken's hair is a bit Centauri, this is just a Babylon 5 Prequel, isn't it?

#MOnsterdon

Let's solve your fears with a little old fashioned racism!

#monsterdon
#Communion1989

As we all know, the only thing the Greys respect is an active home security system. #Monsterdon

G'Kar! On Earth! Judging Christopher Walken's cooking!

#MOnsterdon

You didn't SMELL that? Do you have any idea what burning duck SMELLS like??? #Monsterdon

Finally we are done here. I think this may be one of the worst films I have ever seen.

I mean, it's REALLY bad. Not even sort of good. Empty, nothing.

Thanks fellow #monsterdon sufferers for your spot-on commentary, and to @Taweret for hosting!

Stop the movie. I want to get off.

Mournful porno guitar is my favorite character

after all that fallderall about the computer he's writing on a legal pad in pen now?

...In case you were wondering which part of Jose Chung's From Outer Space was inspired by which part of this film <3 #Monsterdon

I didn't need these two to explain things to me in front of my least favorite painting in the world

ok, this is pretty weird shit,even for #monsterdon standards. And we watched that one with the mushroom people.

Hey quick toss this Carl Sagan monologue in the script.

"I don't think it matters" well said. Well fucking said. #monsterdon

This film must have been made to evade taxes

What is happening. Also, why is it happening? Also, what is happening.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS GOING ON

#Monsterdon #Communion1998

He's learned the secret handshake!

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe #communion

No pictures, please. No pictures. #Monsterdon

You notice how now we all do have video cameras with us all the time, nobody has got footage of being abducted by aliens?

#MOnsterdon

He's gonna go meet the Greys looking like a 1950s Irish mobster. #Monsterdon

You look like a Republican juggler

#Monsterdon

This is the movie that never ends

It just goes in and on my friends!

One night we started watching it not knowing what it was

And we'll be watching it forever now because …

#Monsterdon #Communion1998

this abduction brought to you by GMC trucks

#monsterdon

oh boy a title drop

#monsterdon #EinaPlobe #communion

#Monsterdon This movie has a hat fetish.

Nothing has happened and I hate all these characters, and yet I am so entertained by this movie. Maybe it's just the Walken charisma.

#monsterdon

Did this #monsterdon movie establish a lot of the alien abductions tropes? Or did those tropes (and reports of those tropes) exist before the movie?

🎞️ Review!

"Walken dazzles, giving us an intelligent, talented man caught in a nightmare and fearing for his sanity."

- Los Angeles Times

#Monsterdon #Communion1989 #Communion

We have Catherine O'Hara at home

#Monsterdon

@mxchara this movie really did need more Andreas Katsulas talking about kobolds and less of everything else.

#monsterdon

Those child actors receiving genuine trauma from this movie

#Monsterdon

While we're traumatizing my inner child how about we watch Return to Oz next week

#Monsterdon

Told you, Alien Sex Tourists

They're milking Christopher Walken!

#Monsterdon

Did not see Christopher Walken’s audition for Willy Wonka coming in the middle of this scene. #Monsterdon

"The house was full. Of bees."

#monsterdon

"Let him go. Let him work this out. With ready access to firearms."

#Monsterdon

oh my god OH MY GOD i'm laughing at loud at what they did with the short greys. they're like little furless ewoks

#monsterdon

Woo alien table dance :D #Monsterdon

I would hire this lady and pay her anything if she could actually make me fall asleep this fast.

#monsterdon
#Communion1989

Yeah, again, hypnosis is a great way to CREATE memories. #Monsterdon

Is this his audition reel

#Monsterdon

tHE rECtAl tHInG #monsterdon #communion

I haven't seen any thing yet that I want to see more of and there's still more than an hour left.... #monsterdon

"I took a walk." hehehehehehehe

#monsterdon

Yup, that's the kind of emotional awareness you can expect from the guy that wrote The Wolfen. #Monsterdon

I continue to be very suspicious that this was written as a comedy for Billy Crystal and pivoted to whatever tf this is for Walken

#Monsterdon

Shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it,
Shake it, shake it
Shake it like a Polaroid picture
#Monsterdon

Tonight the role of Samantha Mulder will be played by Christopher Walken

#monsterdon

@fabio

Whitley Strieber wrote it. So the writer's barely disguised fetish is... himself in a wolf mask & cowboy boots?!

#Monsterdon #Communion1989

"Honey, did we forget to spray for aliens?"

#monsterdon
#Communion1989

When Christopher Walken starts talking to furniture you believe it.

#MOnsterdon

Oh nice, they're visiting the set of Pumpkinhead. #Monsterdon

G'KAR!

AS a Human!

#Monsterdon

Just a heads up, this movie is basically an aesthetic precursor to The X-Files so you may experience some inexplicable flashbacks #Monsterdon

I think that might have been the least amount of Monster in a Monsterdon movie, aside from that British one where they're all in the pub waiting for something to happen.

#Monsterdon

I'm amazed that Communion hasn't appeared on Best of the Worst yet. Sounds right up their alley. #monsterdon

I liked The Hunger better. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Well, that was certainly a movie.

#monsterdon a real damp squib of an ending there

Finally the great american novel about depression and boarderline insanity.
#Monsterdon #Communion

"Masks of God" would have been a better title.
#Monsterdon #Communion

They just tossed scenes into a hat and drew them out for the ending, huh?

#monsterdon
#Communion1989

I mean, even Life of Brian's aliens took him somewhere...

#monsterdon

Well at least we got some closure.

Ha! I kid.

Also did not see Christopher Walken’s audition for The Riddler coming in the middle of this movie. #Monsterdon

"Weapon of Choice"

#Monsterdon

@Taweret from the movie we are forced to assume that some of them are busy doing wavy dances all of the time.

#monsterdon

@arrjay @kcarr2015 Depends on if this is a screening probe or a diagnostic probe. Make sure they used the correct billing code!

#Monsterdon

Oh the delights of Abductee discourse. #Monsterdon

"I didn't want a rectal probe Maureen"

She did not

Kids this is officially Tough Sledding. This might have my vote for worst monsterdon movie. I didn't think anything could top Planet Earth but good god.

IMPROVISED! - The scene in which Christopher Walken (as Whitley Strieber) holds up the Alien's face mask over his face.

Walken actually made a 2-minute-long scene trying on multiple masks. All but seconds of the footage ended up on the cutting room floor.

(This was obviously before the Age of Memes)
