@Lazarou Depends where you grow up, really. My mama and I didn't, but mainly because we never had a fireplace. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon i love the tumbleweed mode :D

@kshernandez #LooksAroundNervously #Monsterdon

Okay everyone. Try not to look delicious. #Monsterdon #Critters

RIP Billy Zane's Hairdo #Monsterdon

anyone else delighted that the driver looks backward but the car goes forward? #monsterdon

They apparently also have a bounty on church fixtures. #monsterdon

I'm not entirely sure which set of monsters to cheer for

Leaning toward the critters so far #TeamMonster

#Monsterdon

We came here to destroy 2 pieces of furniture. Our mission is complete. #monsterdon

"They haven't gotten into the house ... yet"

Worst thing to say in a horror movie.

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

#monsterdon this reminds me of the last time I went to church. I also blew up the place with a telephoto lens.

"Two Europeans enter the church..."

#Monsterdon

I like how the church lady giggles at the mention of Sodom and Gomorrah. She likes to get her freak on.

#Monsterdon

lololol that poor organ. it has baseball diddy-ed its last. #monsterdon

Crashing a cop car into a church. Rad. #monsterdon

Man, these bounty hunters are straight up clumsy. #Monsterdon

Oh, I had high hopes for mulleted billy zane.

#monsterdon

The Jesus Crites. #Monsterdon

Everyone loves the Sodom and Gomorrah sermon at Sexy Night Church

#Monsterdon

They keep the shotgun loaded and racked?

#monsterdon

@allanb Out of their network? #Monsterdon

He didn't even want to be making out tonight! #monsterdon

@s20 this is in the genre of Teenagers Must Be Punished for Having Sex

#Monsterdon

Oh hey, our little terrorist is at it again! #monsterdon

got I love the critter puppets. I love them so much

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon you know what'll solve this? imrpovised explosives

#monsterdon Steve's fucked, lady, run!

This what happens when you go for a roll in the hay

#monsterdon

That's gonna leave a mark

#monsterdon

So. Murder tribbles.

#Monsterdon #critters

I'm assuming they also learned how to hotwire and drive a car from that music video

#Monsterdon

I'm so glad Good Farm Dad didn't eat shit all the way #monsterdon

Gee willikers, maybe ya oughts have yer ol' shootin' iron

#monsterdon

@gnomon They're called storm doors, often over storm cellars, and are quite common in some parts of New England. One set of my grandparents had one leading into their basement. They'd have been useful where I grew up as tornado shelters, but the Mississippi alluvial plain makes that a near impossibility in practice. #monsterdon

green guy just vibin there
#monsterdon

My icon is the domesticated version of these guys

#monsterdon #critters

@s20 Dad reaching out to touch an unknown animal with his bare hand was not exactly clever. 😄

#monsterdon #critters1986

Leave the dad for dead, he's gone already....

#Monsterdon

Shame Daft Punk didn't exist yet (?) - these guys could fit right in. #monsterdon

#monsterdon I have never seen a cellar with one of those angled double doors over a staircase in real life. I _am_ constantly surprised that none of my coworkers in California have basements at all. Are those cellars actually a real, common thing someplace, or were they only ever a fixture in movies?

The other alien should morph into Dee Snider

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon “The trouble with tribbles”

@CactuarJoe even tom paris doesn't like him. #monsterdon

"Probably a circuit breaker that's been tripped."

Yeah, 'cause your phone line is attached to the electrical grid.

WTF?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "how can they cut the power, man? they're critters!"

I want to travel planet to planet, jacking into new bodies as I go, this is the Future that has been denied me by that Nepo Baby...

#Monsterdon

@Cherizilla We have found Tradwife Zero #monsterdon

@hollie they saw a music video of the hair band and the first bounty hunter decided that would be nicely inconspicuous

#monsterdon #critters

There's a 🎵 STAR MAN 🎵 waiting in the sky, he wants to come and meet us but he knows he'd blow our minds...

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou We also do that! But we don't put 220V in the room where we get naked and soaking wet. #monsterdon

Who you gonna bowl?
Pinbusters.
#Monsterdon #Critters

@gnomon Someone else said yeah, it was him

I recognized his voice

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon wait only one of them disguised??

Dad is knockoff Ghostbusters?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Okay, so we learned in Airplane that when a housewife is freaking out, you line up people to beat the tar out of them.

He's not afraid of no ghost!

#Monsterdon #Critters

LOL that cut from the cop getting gobbled to the garbage disposal, genius

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon also, don't stuff your hand down the garbage disposal, you twit.

#Monsterdon ever since her meth ran out, moms been real skittish.

Yeah, just mash stuff into the running insinkerator with your fingers. It's the 80s, safety never.

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

@Lazarou Yes they did which is why life in the 80s was exactly like a Steven Spielberg movie.

#Monsterdon

bye, neelix

#monsterdon

Bark! Bark?!?!? #monsterdon

🎶 I ate the sheriff / but I did not eat the deputy 🎶

#Monsterdon

spin out and panic at the tumbleweed, real experienced there #monsterdon

Jeff ends up looking like the eviserated cattle in 3, 2, 1...

#monsterdon

The spread of times people are at means I get a heads up we're about to say goodbye to Ethan Phillips for now #monsterdon

@eigen I have bad news for you.
#monsterdon

Uh oh, sounds like there's a rabid scottish terrier in the bushes. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Don't let Grover's Bend be your end!

@Lazarou white boys in the 80s were mostly monke. I climbed alot of trees. Just none of them were close to any windows.
#Monsterdon #Critters

Neelix said shit! #3!

#monsterdon

The production value on this is only SLIGHTLY better than Frogs!🐸 #WrongFrogs #monsterdon

@Lazarou Depends where the nearest tree was, really. #monsterdon

The crites speak fluent Salacious Crumb #monsterdon

Sounds like highly evolved Gremlins.

#Monsterdon

@allanb NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
#Monsterdon

@Lazarou I doubt it tbqh. He doesn't look like he has the first damn idea what he's doing. #monsterdon

Like last week's, this is another movie I'm only really familiar with from seeing the VHS cover in the Horror section at Blockbuster, and I wasn't expecting the titular Critters to be smart enough for interstellar travel.

#monsterdon #critters1986

What! Never let your creepy monsters have an intelligible language

#Monsterdon

"Maybe it's some kind of Russian spy probe!"

Nah, they're all on Twitter. And Facebook. And Bluesky. And Tumblr. And... #Monsterdon

Yes, in the '80s we all listened to glossy metal-rock at age 12 while making explosives.

#Monsterdon

"Your dad didn't like me eating his food. Much less his daughter."

#monsterdon #critters

She's hoping she can get him pregnant so he'll have to take her back with him to New York.

(She and her mum had The Talk, but she didn't listen very well, and she's not that bright,.)

#monsterdon

"It's the Power of the Night, dad!" #monsterdon

#monsterdon all I can see is when I look at the kid is Malarkey from Band of Brothers.

You know what? I had some friends who made homemade explosives as a kid. I made a few myself. I dislike that shit showing up in a movie though. One of my more spectacular creations left a crater.

That shit was dangerous as fuck. People lose limbs from that.
#monsterdon #critters

All that setup starts payin off now

#Monsterdon

lets go aliens let's go. let's go aliens let's go. bodysnatch this whole damn family!!!! #monsterdon

#monsterdon Checkov's slingshot for the boy's confiscated slingshot?

@s20 You think they could afford a second song????

#Monsterdon

Who remembers Friday Night Videos?

#Monsterdon #80s

@allanb Holding out hope the cat defeats the alien bounty hunters in the end #monsterdon

#Monsterdon we’re not going to even mention that sound doesn’t propagate in space. But, yeah…

@SordidAmok I thought I was that teenage boy, once. (I thought I was a boy.) #monsterdon

yeah important to include that scene. imagine if we didn't know how long he was grounded from tv

#monsterdon

WHO GIVES A CAT A BREAD ROLL #monsterdon

Young people boinking in a barn will be the first to die.

#Monsterdon #Critters1986 #Critters

We're gonna have the talk with our little terrorist here. #monsterdon

But he will miss #monsterdon!!!
