#monsterdon Notch another Critter for Brad, so far that's one that he has killed with a firework and one by accidentally shooting a ceiling fan that dropped and smooshed his quarry.

DON'T SET THE HOUSE ON FIRE BRAD FOR HECKSAKE

I like the dispatcher, because she knows she is talking to idiots

#monsterdon

If they had listened to Charlie rather than get him drunk for their amusement....

#Monsterdon

I get the impression that rather than just kill and eat this family, the Critters are fucking with them like they're the Clutters...

#Monsterdon

The bounty hunters get right to the point. #monsterdon

Wow the whole town was in there
#monsterdon

"We came here for the Bowling actually, the Bounty Hunting is just a side hustle...."

#Monsterdon

Crites are literal cartoon characters. Eating dynamite like a Wile E Coyote.
#Monsterdon #Critters

Absolutely loved those space guns when I saw this movie as a teenager

#Monsterdon

By the power of Crites, I compel you!

#Monsterdon #Critters

White american boy has explosives to hand, sigh.....

#Monsterdon

indigestion
#monsterdon

lol, looks like Green Head dude is having a wank over Neelix's body

Knew they were Sex Tourists

#Monsterdon

It ROLLED. 🤣 #monsterdon

#monsterdon MONSTER CHOMP

Coworker-harassing patrol cop gets... needle-gunned in the kneecap and then dragged under his car to be eaten? I think?

(Did that actor play Neelix in Voyager? He looked a lot like Neelix.)

#Monsterdon Oh sure, you got coffee for Sal, but not for Captain Janeway! You prick! And drive! Ahhhh! :)

they PAID for that music and they are GOING to get value for it #monsterdon

Wow, this singer really had a stranglehold on pop culture #Monsterdon

Is Gus going to be is this movie too? I hope so! 🤞 #WrongFrogs #monsterdon

#monsterdon oh gosh, Billy Zane was never that young

kid missed out on a good "broad side of a barn" joke #monsterdon

Good to see their assimilation software included a crash course in Twitter. Owner on the left, vaccine denier on the right. #monsterdon

#monsterdon "Send the prisoners through detox and immunization, then bring them aboard." excellent idea _stares at Dulles Airport_

oh my gosh these rubber suits

@paco After Devil Girl #monsterdon

How it started, how it's going. #monsterdon

The critters are if anything way less dangerous than the initial description. Unless humans are implicitly space orcs?

#monsterdon

Not as Gremliny as I thought it would be. Lots of fun familiar faces. Thanks, @Taweret, @Cherizilla, and company for another lovely time! #Monsterdon

@YsengrinWolf That is Klaus Kinski--I think it was from this film called Android?

@Cherizilla @Terencio

@strangefour @CactuarJoe tremors is actually like 100% great

#monsterdon #critters

@strangefour @Taweret yeah i think we all know how this election is going to go

#monsterdon #critters

@rebeld The music video has some real gems. The only problem is that capturing these required me to hear "Power of the Night" so many times...
#monsterdon

I fell asleep to a Fresh Air podcast on how climate change is affecting where people move, informative but also depressing, and then I woke up and rushed straight to late attendance at #Monsterdon, and wow, what a surreal transition.

Drifting off to flooding and wildfires and wheat subsidies and waking up to alien gremlins terrorizing a horny teenager in a hayloft, being hunted by a moody hair metal band.

I've not fully recovered, to be honest.

I don't think I've ever seen a movie that was actually kind of good and yet perfect for #Monsterdon ... what an experience. I am unsettled. This was fun though!

Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everyone for posting! Looking forward to next week!

props to the movie for creating the most generic 80s song I've ever heard tho

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon alright, thanks for the film. #Monsterdon was really cool! will have to see if I can join in next time.

If there any other film nights like this, for other genres, let me know!

UNLIKE LAST WEEK we got a real ending and everything! Miracle of miracles!

#monsterdon #critters1986

They made 5 of these, last one in 2019 I think. I enjoyed this one, for what it's worth. Not sure I could stomach 4 more though.

Thanks everyone for tooting along, thank you @Taweret for organizing.

'Till next time.

#monsterdon

woohoo! saved by the power of the night!

thanks @Taweret and all the monsterdontists!

#monsterdon

Exciting! I missed the last 15 minutes because my dog threw up on the floor. 🐕

Also… I feel like maybe I didn’t miss anything important

#monsterdon

Haha well, looks like those cosmic bounty hunters who threatened people and beat them up were the heroes we needed after all

#Monsterdon

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's feature, #Critters, from 1986, was a different kind of ... Critterion Collection. We also had,

This goblin child's affection for his cat makes up for all the pyromania.

#monsterdon #critters1986

We'll be playing the aforementioned glossy metal-rock. I have to practice singing like Sheena Easton.

#Monsterdon

The local government takes a page out of Gravity Falls' playbook and passes the "Never Mind All That" Act. #monsterdon

Despite all the magical repairs, they still really need a new roof #Monsterdon

I'm very impressed that this movie is making an actual attempt to end, this is a
#Monsterdon unicorn

it seems like they just had done a rebuilding house scene like that in film school and needed a reason to do it in the movie #monsterdon

Nesting Partner: "at least Neelix got eated" :sayoriYes: #Monsterdon

And the actually IMPORTANT PLOT POINT -- Chewie is okay. #Monsterdon

This whole movie should just be called How Brad is the Coolest

#Monsterdon

"Hello little boy, here's my phone number....."

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Molotov cocktail saves the day!

J̶u̶s̶t̶ ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶r̶e̶a̶l̶ ̶l̶i̶f̶e̶!̶

Cats would absolutely do this if they had access to spaceships and laser weapons

#Monsterdon

I just wanted to say, thanks, I fucking hated our house
#monsterdon

thanks for what, kid, they didn't do shit

#monsterdon #critters

everything is catching

yes

everything is catching

on fiiiii-re

#monsterdon #critters

Transform into a ball and roll out!
#Monsterdon #Critters

#monsterdon The cat got a subtitle!!

Charlie's just following his teeth

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon The way the screenplay centers the kid Brad's perspective feels remniscent of Invaders From Mars (1953/1986).

Yeah I mean at this point would anyone be having *more* of a difficult time with the glowing green heads? This whole disguise idea was just a mistake, Glorbax #monsterdon

We came to destroy the front door and a toilet. Our mission is complete.
#monsterdon

ET fuck off.
Crites know how to throw a wicked slumber party.
#Monsterdon #Critters

#monsterdon I would not say this film is GOOD. But I can see why it got a series of films.

Why did the big one level up? Did it get wet? Did it eat after midnight?

#Monsterdon

Oh good! The kitty is still alive.

#Monsterdon

I love that woman in curlers. She's amazing.#Monsterdon

DON'T KILL THE CAT!

#Monsterdon

the crites seem fine just hungry, give them some cows and call it a day #monsterdon

Like shootin' crites in a toilet. #Monsterdon #Critters

Props for saying "let's roll" and then actually rolling

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Harv is either being careful or he had a surprise shart.

The critter dialogue totally wins

#monsterdon

these guys are SO BAD AT THIS

#monsterdon #critters

They came to blow up shit and chew bubblegum. #Monsterdon #Critters

I remember that saying from the 80s: "You're not from around here are you?"

#Monsterdon #Critters1986 #Critters

Yes more shotgun less sticks stupid humans, all shotgun all the time.

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

"Let's Roll"
Ha

#monsterdon
#Critters

For the record Mom's killed two more critters than the fancy bounty hunters have. #Monsterdon #Critters

#Monsterdon hooray! mom reached her berzerker trigger and now she’s a bad ass! Get that woman more ammo!

@CactuarJoe the power of Crites compels you #Monsterdon

How did the giant one get into that dresser?

#Monsterdon

The fluffy toilet lid cover is the real monster #Monsterdon

The Crites don’t like earth transportation in any form. #monsterdon

"This alien puppet is a mockery of us!"

They are cute in their destruction

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon DoTheChickensDie.com (I hope they don't)

Fuck this, Fuck that, and especially fuck this ET doll. #Monsterdon #Critters

I do love these critters
#monsterdon

This place doesn't feel very Kansas to me.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon _Brad turns down his father's offer to take the shotgun with him_ "Nah, it would only slow me down."

.oO("This is the weapon of the enemy. We do not NEED it. We will not USE it.")

They shot up the Bowl-O-Rama? What slimeballs!

#Monsterdon #Critters

Crite: So, kid. I heard you was lookin’ for a bike. It’d be a shame if something were to happen to it.

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

ok but if you just give me an endless drip of those little guys rolling around like little tumbleweeds i can forgive any lack of movie #monsterdon

Scott Grimes is actually a good child actor. Usually any kid with red hair can get put in a movie, acting skills be damned

#Monsterdon

We have to agree that this is a #monsterdon better than average

I'm on call and there's some kinda crisis at work, so.... I'm out

#monsterdon

yeah I kinda don't care about the bowlerama tho

#monsterdon
