@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

@_L1vY_ Better than us in the 70s Kung Fu fighting.

#Monsterdon #Critters1986 #Critters

#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

@ohiofi That would liven things up

#Monsterdon

@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

April, it's pretty clear Steve isn't that interested. You should cool it.

#Monsterdon

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

But he will miss #monsterdon!!!

#Monsterdon the polite wait for the kid to say "come in!" after knocking is the "masturbation buffer"

@Bluedepth Not limited to the midwest though

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Let’s play roll in the hay! You ever have ass parasites? Well, you’re gonna!

I'd date a guy to drive that car too.

#monsterdon #critters1986

@ohiofi #WrongFrogs Cinematic Universes

#Monsterdon

Re: cat - has anyone already checked didthedogdie for this film? #monsterdon

Ahhh, a budding bomb-maker

It warms the heart

#monsterdon

Well that's an escalation. #monsterdon

Oh, of course, the kid is a fan of the lame band the aliens are imitating. That makes sense

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Yasss. Kid is listening to the song!!

Steve just wants to finish his dinner and watch your dad bowl. Come on!

#Monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow That, my good fellow, is a rat tail

#Monsterdon

this pony-mullet is still better than billy zane's titanic hair #Monsterdon

A pony tail AND an earring!? That kids clearly no good. #Monsterdon #Critters

Love this dad who doesn't believe in drinking out of anything but a Mason jar.

#monsterdon #critters1986

if you as a director force to watch people eat corn on the cob, I can only assume that you hate me

#monsterdon

Steve really wanted the desert

#monsterdon
#Critters

Ok, real talk, is there a less messy way to eat corn on the cob?

#Monsterdon

Is this going to be one of those "they're eating the pets" scenarios? Asking for a friend. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon fuck yeah boom box + cassette tapes that's the 80s kid life

I really hate this family. #Monsterdon

Farmer dad is a decent guy. If that's him being mad, he is a patient guy. I hope he lives. #Monsterdon

So, Steve Elliott brought over his car to help haul hay, but he failed the assignment.

#Monsterdon

secondary aspiration is to be the kind of adult that is just hanging around slingshotting shit with a kid #monsterdon

Oh no Billy Zane with a mullet, shaving his head was a good move

#Monsterdon

Billy Zane's doing his best Adam Ant impersonation. #Monsterdon #Critters

He absolutely does deserve that ass-kicking, even though it was the other fellow. #monsterdon

ah, a Big City Boy #monsterdon

Billy Zane has arrived

just LOOK at that hair-do

#Monsterdon

What else was the kid in?
#monsterdon

Just like in the book "Salem's Lot", you get to see how incredibly unpleasant things are for the characters _before_ the monsters show-up.

#monsterdon

2 G8T 2 SK8T: The Tony Hawk story.

#monsterdon

Young Tim McVeigh #monsterdon

@ohiofi Bea Arthur would beg to differ

...just a little

#Monsterdon #StarWarsHolidaySpecial

So they're going to blend in by looking like lame pop-hair-metal cheeseballs?

#monsterdon

'Remember, kid, nearly every _human_’s reaction to realising that they're now on Earth is to scream their heads off, and they’re _from_ there.'

#monsterdon

how the hell does that kid still have all his fingers…

#monsterdon

Ah, America in the 80s, when you could get a stick of dynamite for a few bucks. #monsterdon

wow wish I could watch a hair metal music video and wake up hot and sexy like that
#monsterdon

Looks like that zombie dude started feeling better when his face looked like black coffee #monsterdon

alright aliens you've won me over, any species that might make it possible for me to melt my ass down to wax like that is one i want to curry favor with #monsterdon

#Monsterdon eyeliner makes everybody more beautiful, even alien bounty hunters

Ok, very cool melted face effects

#Monsterdon

Earth is a land of contrasts. #monsterdon
