#Monsterdon How did the alien know to go for the breakers? is it attracted to power?

As Dana Gould says in this edition of Harry Medved's "Locationland" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9IBP_1v13M), a bad Bad Movie is boring, and "Plan 9…" is never boring.

This is boring.

#monsterdon
Good cat, though.

Well, the good news is, it's not the circuit breaker...

#Monsterdon

The monsters and the farmers meet at last. #Monsterdon

Couldn't miss this one. :)

#monsterdon #critters

This dad looks a bit like Mitt Romeny to me now.

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

Well there's your problem ...

#Monsterdon #Critters

Dad's gonna trip and fall into a vat of BBQ sauce. #Monsterdon #Critters

the most unrealistic thing is that the dad was ready so early for the bowling championship that they had time to have like an entire movie in between when he was ready to go and when the tournament was. i've never been that early for anything in my life #monsterdon

@Taweret "That's what we've got a cat FOR! Damn thing better do its job, sure do feed it enough"

#monsterdon

Amused by this guy's bowling shirt.

Or is he a waitress? I'm coming in late, so I don't know.

#Monsterdon #critters

@randy_s The pipes in your house, your artificial limb....

#Monsterdon

What do monsters even do now that they can't cut the phone lines?

#monsterdon #critters1986

@moira AAhhhh, thank you! That actually makes sense.

#Monsterdon

it's dead Jim
#monsterdon

Look at that giant D-cell torch. Well done, dad! #Monsterdon

@Louisa

The guy who developed it smashed together Japanese and French. 😬

#Monsterdon #Critters1986 #Critters

Oh great, the cheesy hair brigade has finally arrived.
#monsterdon

Phone's dead. Why does NO ONE in these movies have a ham radio for just this situation?

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

Mom's looking very Olivia Newton John here. #Monsterdon #Critters

I mean, they didn't even _finish_ their cow! #monsterdon

I would sigh that heavily if I wore that dress doing dishes.
#Monsterdon

To be fair, if I were a small, agile alien creature with poison darts and the ability to scare the shit out of people in Kansas, I would ALSO do this. #Monsterdon

The Crites design is still one of my favorite monster designs. Very simple very dangerous looking. And they roll up into a ball that prop guys can huck from off screen to film rolling about.
#Monsterdon #Critters

"This phone is dead." (loudly) #monsterdon

you see something scary and no even close the door?
#monsterdon

Wow Dad really does look like ol' Mittens Romney

#monsterdon #critters1986

Oh no, the phone's down!

#Monsterdon

The subtitles read "(animalistic panting)" when seeing things from the critters' point of view.

#Monsterdon

was there ever a toy-set for this series? because that bounty-hunter /screams/ 80s action figure…

#monsterdon

I love the under car and out of site, death of the cop. Well acted.
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I'm worried they're going to miss the bowling tournament.

monster POV shot

#monsterdon

@socketwench But just for the head #monsterdon

Wait so hair band frontman is also a gremlin? This is what I get for sleeping through the first twenty minutes.

#Monsterdon

"Find something."

Tom Paris is available. #Monsterdon

"Eating start" 😹

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon "The brakes on your husband's car... ALL brakes. Yes, where would we be without sulfur?"

@diazona but it's definitely a baby not a ghost!!!? #monsterdon

hot damn that flashlight
#monsterdon

I hope the remaining alien chooses the cat.

#monsterdon

You can tell the bounty hunter's ship is high tech because it looks like a DVD player instead of Betamax. #Monsterdon

TRANSFORM INTO THIS HAIRDO

#Monsterdon

the ship animations are pretty good, though! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon The bounty hunters ship has fart thrusters. Man, he wasn’t wrong, that ass can fart. :)

#monsterdon a little strange?

Dude, your cow exploded.

"Nothing likes me?" I actually idk. I could end up rooting for these Stylish Guys #monsterdon

The cat is CHEWY!!? #Monsterdon #Critters

#Monsterdon Oh my, alien's hot

@jonny Everyone else is saying Ghostbusters

#Monsterdon

I like how the dad's bowling shirt is designed to be like the Ghostbusters logo.

#Monsterdon

Oil burning space ship?
#Monsterdon #Critters

@sean Life was cheap in 1986 #monsterdon

maybe it was chewie. you know, from stars?

#monsterdon

Kitty?!? #monsterdon

@paco @eigen I don't know if I can even watch the rest of the first one.

#Monsterdon

WHAT A WOOKIEE

#monsterdon #critters

#monsterdon Several great scene transitions so far!

#Monsterdon I'm surprised he didn't take out a gun, it is the midwest right?

is the dad's bowling team the anti-baby brigade? what the hell is that logo on the shirt #monsterdon

oh nice shot with the eyes in the window

#monsterdon

Never grab someone by the neck when they’re in the middle of a scare.

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

Oh Neelix, we hardly knew ye. Never got to see you make a serious elf mad with a spicy soup. #monsterdon

Gotta love aliens chittering sounds getting subtitles.
#Monsterdon #Critters

The largest single expense in making this film? Glass objects to drop on the floor and break.

#Monsterdon

you live on a FARM and you've never heard your cat chasing something down outside at night!??!?!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon
That second earth meal of theirs really won me over to the aliens' side 😏

Ma Ingalls better go grab her shotgun #monsterdon

I was too busy peeling a mandarin to see the Garbage Disposal Horror #monsterdon

Yep, that's a classic midwest cow mutilation

#monsterdon

i can't exactly tell if they are going for a conspiracist "the aliens bodysnatched the cops and all the popular culture figures" or if they are just opportunists bodysnatching whoever looks cool. i guess if they were bodysnatching on who looks cool they would have snatched that cow instead of mangling it, because cows are pretty cool #monsterdon

glad i got the PGS sound captions this week #monsterdon

oh COME ON you DO NOT use an insinkerator on septic #monsterdon

Hey those aliens just ate a cop. :blobcatmeltthumb: #TeamCritters #Monsterdon

That’s an nice looking ship, though. (Catching up, joining late.)

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

Nice cut from Neelix being eaten to the garbage disposal.

#Monsterdon

i can't believe they killed off everyone's beloved loser sheriff who can't get a date

#monsterdon

@ricci @alexis We have several at our house. You could carry them around, but they have a cord, so you can only go so far. They're great in the yard at Halloween, though.

#Monsterdon

Tom Paris: Say, Neelix, what's eating you tonig---.

Oh.

Ooooh, dear.

#monsterdon

A little car repair at night, nothing else. #monsterdon

Oh no, no more leola root stew! #Monsterdon

Real talk: that shot of stuffing vegetables down the disposal by hand is an anxiety trip

#Monsterdon

OPA!

#monsterdon #critters

ah, nevermind. i see that won't be a problem anymore. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Aww, neelix died!

HAH! Movie gets bonus points for the cut to the insinkerator. #Monsterdon #Critters

Do NOT push things into the garbage disposal with your FINGERS!

#Monsterdon #Critters

OMG that transition to the garbage disposal 😂

#Monsterdon

@srol He probably doesn't know how many houses he owns either #monsterdon

Is that boy the Young somebody or just looks like he is?

Cattle Mutilations were all the rage back then, weren't they?

A lot of these mysteries are just farmers being weird....

#Monsterdon

INSPIRED cut from Jeff (F) to the garbage disposal

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon it took me a long time to realise americans had garbage disposal in the sink. It's so weird.

gah you live on a FARM and you are garbage disposing food scraps!?!?!??! into your septic tank?!??!?!

#monsterdon

applause in the house for the sink disposal cut xD

#monsterdon #critters

Nice cut to the garbage disposal running!

#monsterdon

neelix, i'mma need you only to speak with your face in full view of this camera, my brain can't handle it otherwise. #monsterdon

Don't mind that cop going down
#monsterdon

Did he just get eaten by his car? #Monsterdon

Time for some roast pig!

#Monsterdon

Shouldn't he have his trusty ol' shootin' iron?

#monsterdon
