@ohiofi public spaces don't require an invitation in most versions of the mythos so it's cool

#monsterdon #FrightNight1985

this scene is going to be painfully 80s right?
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Amy's outfit is the inspiration for the 90's blue and purple wave cup every movie theater had…

[driving bassline and snare-heavy beat begins]

oh?

[vocalist enters mix]

oh.

#Monsterdon

These are definitely some line reads, that's for sure

Oh, it’s the amazing 80s New Wave music portion of the film!

#Monsterdon

the presence of a cross activates a vampire's "Voice Command" mode

Clearly Evil is an adolescent vampire, he hasn't been to the orthodontist yet.

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

Main vampire chases the main characters through a restaurant and 80s nightclub. Meanwhile, the Metal Head nerd, who is now a vampire, begs to be let into the actor's house because there's a vampire outside. he tried to attack the actor, being made that he was a fake, but then the actor burns him with a cross, which works against vampires now.

The actor uses his acting power to portray his character and chase nerd vampire out of a window.

#monsterdon

"I used to admire you before, you know? The great Peter Vincent, \"vampire killer\" - before I found out what a fake you are!"

Ah so this is when Ed learns about the concept of "actors"

And also "scenery chewing"

#monsterdon

Ironically Evil seems less evil after having become a vampire

Roddy McDowall based his character's reactions to situations on what he thought which of the following would do?

Edward is a horrible vampire.

#Monsterdon

Oh, they're *touch* weapons, not ranged weapons.

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

#monsterdon The master baiter. He has a plate of fruit, fruitcake...

They will be safe in The Bronze!

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

Wait, the young vampire gets the creepy eye makeup and the old vampire didn't?

Unless it's just a lighting thing and the old one had it and I didn't notice.

Oh gross, just saw the cross bit...

#Monsterdon

people really danced like that in the 80s, I was there

#Monsterdon

professional kitchen with an open window 3 feet above the ally where the dumpster is, just what the health inspector ordered

#monsterdon

Evil, never meet your heroes. Atleast not while being angry about it.
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Nobody likes a prankster, Ed!

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Not watching #monsterdon but I've seen this film before and from the toots, I know exactly where everyone is at.

So wait, Evil has...become EVIL? I did NOT see that coming

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

Oh, so the vamp decided to sire Edward? WTF would he do that?

#Monsterdon

This bar serves fresh veg?!

#monsterdon

Who are you calling?

The police.

Big mistake. You should have called the Ghost Busters.

Well, ok, maybe not, but it seems worth a try?

#Monsterdon

Hey it's St. Elmo's

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

BRB gonna go yell "Cut it out, Evil!' and see if that gets rid of Trump.

#Monsterdon

Oh, Evil Ed 😥 #Monsterdon

This is just playing with your food.

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Director: "Make scary noises!"
Foley; "what is a scary noise?"
Director: "You're the sound guy, figure it out!'
Foley: [really loud whooshing noises]

#monsterdon #frightnight

meanwhile at the bronze

#monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Now he really is gonna be.... EVILLLLLLL. #monsterdon

We decide to walk home through a dark alley, and the metalhead nerd teases charlie by pretending a vampire bit him. But then he gets separated and the vampire guy chases after the metalhead nerd, tries to console him by saying he knows what its like to be weird, then asks him to take his hand. Once he does that, by crying, the vampire guy envelops him in his cloak.

Elsewhere, Charlie and Amy hear the nerd's scream, and an explosion. Oops.

#monsterdon

So this is where goofy high evil Eddie gets a glow up and becomes Edward Cullen I guess #Monsterdon

Do we really still have an hour left of this?

#Monsterdon

D-did someone just fire a rocket launcher at the kids??

The heck was that sound supposed to be??

#Monsterdon

"What if Evil really was in trouble?"

"Why don't we ask Good about that?"

#monsterdon

take my hand if you want to undead

#Monsterdon

add! Ed! to! the! polycule!

#monsterdon

a gay awakening with Chris Sarandon. not entirely out of the realm of possibilities.

#monsterdon

The boy who cried vampire
#Monsterdon

Weak-willed
#monsterdon

Okay I don't know if most of the actors or director knew, but the writer sure knew he was making a gay allegory here.
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

[takes hand] [adds to inventory] okay now what do I do with it?

#monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Oh it's just regular mist, he's fine

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

"Join my polycule and we can be gay together"

#Monsterdon

"I know what it's like being different."

It gets better, Evil. #Monsterdon

I wonder how many tries it took to get that awesome shot of the smoke swirling like that. #Monsterdon #FrightNight

@ohiofi BAT

man

I GET IT

#monsterdon #FrightNight1985

sax and violins?
#Monsterdon

Eh, trench coat vampire doesn't really do it for me. #Monsterdon

Vampire Jazz!

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

In retrospect what would have been a great trope for the bingo card: a traditional sign of vampires proves to be false

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Famous last words. There are no such things as vampires.

Bad guy: They don't really believe I'm real. That's good, I don't want them to.

Also bad guy: I'll kill one of them. That will prove I'm not real.

#Monsterdon

Unsolved Mysteries vampire

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985 Heavy 80s bass strings so you know there's danger.

can we now shove the blonde guy into a lake or something?
#Monsterdon

@Bluedepth Ref! he got the ball first! #NotLikeThat #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🧛🦇 🧛‍♂️🦇 🧛‍♀️ 🦇😱

oof Jer is wearing some pretty pointy-toed boots

they live in Small Town USA, where the fuck did this gritty noir alley come from?

#monsterdon

Yay! The mirror doesn’t lie! #Monsterdon

A lot of folks misquote Ghostbusters with a line about “pencil dick,” but in this movie, he actually says that line. In Ghostbusters, the phrases are “pencil neck” and “dickless.”

#Monsterdon

I think Evil deserves a real name

He’s 10x better than Charlie, even if I still don’t like him

#Monsterdon

@turgon

The second deadliest creatures in this film

#Monsterdon

I feel like Charley's friend is going to evolve into an evil clown

Like a Pokémon

#Monsterdon

GASP! The mirror! Roddy Mcdowall is always a delight in a movie. He over acts just a hair, but he puts real emotion into it.
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

But oh no as they are leaving, the actor discovers that the vampire guy does not appear in the reflection of his prop mirror, and drops it out of surprise. The vampire guy notices, so the actor urges them out of the building.

The actor reports that the vampire guy did not appear in the mirror, then drives off.

#monsterdon

"Mr Vincent Shit!"

#Monsterdon

@bstacey maybe needs to be of silver vice gold perhaps...?

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

#Monsterdon 🧛🦇 🧛‍♂️🦇 🧛‍♀️ 🦇😱

literally everyone got that you just threatened us, Jer

@TerryHancock I think Giles fum-fumming is maybe based on Vincent.

#Monsterdon

Human servant Billy Cole is my favorite person in this movie. That guy clearly loves his job.

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

oops. didn't expect the vampire killer to have a compact, now did you, Jerry?

#monsterdon

@moira That’s the Japanese version.

#Monsterdon

Oops! No reflection! #Monsterdon #FrightNight

also the plaid she is wearing is soooo lesbian-coded

#monsterdon

Me at work next year: "You wouldn't want to cause your friends pain, would you?"

#Monsterdon

@wohali Look, sometimes you just wanna be warm & cozy

And not have the wool touch your neck

#Monsterdon

To the pain #monsterdon #FrightNight1985

“I’ll protect you with this!”

The same cross that did nothing last time you had a run-in with this vampire?

#Monsterdon

what was that business with the fire

that was a _thing_

#monsterdon #FrightNight1985

@steggy I suppose they have to blend in somehow
