"How you feeling honey?"

"Heh, ET was so much nicer..."

#Monsterdon

People in these movies always overrate the efficacy of guns and learn about fire too late #monsterdon

Critters musical eating montage.

#monsterdon

Shoutout to the prop guys having a ball wrecking the room with hand puppets :D #Monsterdon

[puppetry intensifies]

#Monsterdon

Yup definitely space cats

#Monsterdon

Oh my god it's eating ET, I love it

#Monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow great minds

#monsterdon

Captain! They've adapted! #monsterdon

"This is the part where the puppeteers get to make up for the lousy pay on this job" #monsterdon

#Monsterdon I'm always up for a good barricaded-in-a-house story.

E.T. cameo. 😄

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

There's an E.T. doll!!!

#Monsterdon

Damn! an actual well-played, human, moment.

#monsterdon

Swinging weapon's no good, girl, you've got like three feet of space. Get a stabber. #Monsterdon

@bstacey you mean the stores? #Monsterdon

i could really go with a good "make the house defensible" montage right about now. have these people even seen lost boys #monsterdon

#monsterdon at first I'm like "oh right, they know what a bike is…"

Then I remember they're a space faring alien race who can operate FTL vehicles.

"make my monster grow!" #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Moms like "E.T. was much nicer."

lil guy just hanging out by the bike like some school yard bully lol #monsterdon

I feel like an ice cold cola for some reason....
#Monsterdon

Dee Wallace playing the mom seems to think she has a chance for a major award for this role #monsterdon

#Monsterdon this film has been teaching kids how to make flamethrowers outta spray cans

#Monsterdon aquanet torch. It’s the 80’s for sure. Rad.

I believe the technical term for what the family's doing here is "blood sacrifice." #monsterdon

I'm suprised that Coca Cola bothered with this product placement.

#Monsterdon

"Oh my gosh! They're turning into easier targets!"

#Monsterdon

They're never gonna fit back in that tiny space ship now. #Monsterdon #Critters

#Monsterdon henhouse gloryhole? :frowns:

Enjoy product placement. #Monsterdon #Critters

"hey kid, fuck your bike!"
#monsterdon

Actually, I think Brad had the right idea by trying to open the chicken coop. That would've caused a lot of confusion.

#Monsterdon

I have seen this before! I remember the silly ass little Rolle Uppe Inne Ane Balle trick from here #monsterdon

They need to stop shooting the crites. Clearly each one will be killed differently.

#Monsterdon #Critters

@kshernandez @moira Hope springs eternal #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Critters are clearly against bikes in their backyard

So much for the bike idea. #Monsterdon #Critters

I think this movie would fell different if I liked even ONE character in this family. #monsterdon #critters1986

@moira 😂 patience, my child. #monsterdon

A HEARTWARMING FAMILY RECONCILIATION #monsterdon

oh no he did NOT mess with his bike! #monsterdon

@jonny I definitely wouldn't have minded some more critter attacks

Preferably even on people who deserve it, but, y'know, whatever

#Monsterdon

@springdiesel Sadly they do not express this in the movie because that would make it a little less boring.

#Monsterdon

@arrjay want 2 see brad silhouetted against the moon with a crite in his basket

#Monsterdon

"They was wearin really funny clothes! Like they was from Los Angeleez!"

#Monsterdon

I miss those long shirts with the overlong front and back!

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

@kshernandez I like it, go on...!

#monsterdon #critters

The writers thought that underwriting the bounty hunters would be a cool idea. I don't see this as panning out #monsterdon

Get your slingshot, kid. You need a weapon upgrade. #Monsterdon

He had two more guns in the living room btw (assuming I saw right)
#monsterdon

Looks like the mandarins ran out first. Oh well, it was only two pounds of the blessed things. Excess Vitamin C's not bad, right? #monsterdon

A poultice. Mom and Dad just require a very strong poultice applied.

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

@jsadow "Like they was from Los Angeles" hahaha

#Monsterdon #critters

RIDE LIKE THE WIND, BRAD #monsterdon

@moira that means he's gonna have the most awesome death. #monsterdon

@Lazarou The Minions of the 80's

#Monsterdon

"Dad, someone's gotta go for help, and you're missing three pounds of shoulder." #Monsterdon

Give the kid his slingshot back!

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

Tiny gingers, don't underestimate them!

#Monsterdon

I like how the sheriff has NOT noticed the...gunshot holes in the roof of the cruiser? #monsterdon

Back in my day we got attacked by needle shooting bitey tumbleweeds and we didn't hide in no bedrooms

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

Kid on a bike! That's the real 80s Americana shit. #monsterdon

Bowlarama. Bowlarama ding dong. #Monsterdon

Junior is like the only competent one, dad. #monsterdon

This guy might be addicted to stealing faces.
And they bounty hunters might accidentally end up killing more people than the Criters.
#Monsterdon #Critters

#Monsterdon

Death by light fixture.

the sheriff is like totes the least entertaining part of this movie

i mean by a _lot_

#monsterdon #critters

Honestly, the idealization of American life on display here is more interesting than the monsters. It's not them I expect to rewatch this for. #monsterdon

@Taweret They should shoot it up again. #Monsterdon

Really making the most of the "dispatcher" role here. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Loving the Bob Geldoff alien.

#Monsterdon #Critters1986 #Critters

BINGO!

"They were wearing really funny clothes, like they were from Las Angeles".

Because that's the only place fashion exists.

#Monsterdon

"They were wearing really funny clothes."

"Like they were from Los Angeles!"

#monsterdon

There's a reason those toilet covers went out of style, they're very unsanitary.

#Monsterdon

LOL!! the kid takes one out on accident #monsterdon

"They looked like they was from Los Angeles"

#Monsterdon

They was wearing really funny clothes, like they was from Los Angeles.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon the moral of this story is that in an alien invasion, parents will be useless, and we'll have to rely on pyromaniac kids to save us.

like a suit.. like an Egger suit. #Monsterdon #Critters

@wohali no, no, they never use fire! ask @bunnyhero ! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon These bounty hunters are spectacularly incompetent. Shooting up a bowling alley with no sign of the critters helps how?!

"They were wearing really funny clothes."

"Like they was from Los Angeles."

#Monsterdon

@hollie "Country girls make do." #monsterdon

#monsterdon Oh those needle darts are _sedative_ now?!

@trixter Same, but I feel like a 12-gauge double might've been a little much... #monsterdon

#Monsterdon the actor who plays the mom is 14 years older than the actor who plays the daughter. The actor who plays the daughter was born in the 60s.

Really? A ceiling fan? I thought crites were made of sterner stuff. #Monsterdon #Critters

Rural folks survive everything with shotguns and ceiling fans

#Monsterdon

Do not lock your family in the car with Dee Wallace is all I’m gonna say. #Monsterdon

They’re vulnerable to fire!

(As is the rug.)

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

I guess the darts aren't really a "new" power but the scene nicely highlighted 'em #monsterdon

Maybe starting a fire in your house wasn't the best idea...

#Monsterdon

ENVIRONMENTAL KILL -- 100 PTS #Monsterdon

Yeah, light the house on fire while you're upstairs.

#monsterdon

NGL I grew up in the country and I definitely knew how to use a rifle at that age.

#monsterdon #critters1986

#Monsterdon "critters? i'm your biggest fan" *squish*

@springdiesel Mysteriously the hunted are like gremlins and the interstellar hunters are like guys who spent more $ on their band's outfits than instruments.

#Monsterdon

80s horror movie logic is if something bites you, you turn into it. so is daddy romney going to turn into like 30 crites in a trenchcoat? #monsterdon
