#monsterdon Since there's a Coors sign It's worth pointing out that there was a bit of mystique surrounding the brand at that time as it wasn't available nationally until 1986. Burt Reynolds made a whole movie about it.
@ramsey Because Charlie had spent a bunch of time nailing the window shut to keep vampires out. It's meant to show how strong he was, that he flicked it up with one hand.
#monsterdon
Chris Sarandon Kubrick-stare walking at me... I'm scaraoused!
"Do you want a Valium?"
- the most 80s Mom line ever to appear in a movie.
The 80s, mom casually offering a Valium to her teen son #monsterdon
Stabbing fixes many things.
vampires are super powerful unless you have a piece of wood, no matter how small, that is at least a little bit pointy
Lady don't tell your son about your nightmare where you were naked JUST DON'T #Monsterdon
"...what about your nightmare. Do you want a valium?"
"Ummmmm .... sure?"
offering prescription drugs to a teenager. #FrightNight1985 #Monsterdon

Mom, can I have a valium?
Valium just being handed out, 80's
#monsterdon
the '80s were indeed a helluva drug
"Do you want a valium?"
Yeah, that's an '80s mom. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Moms handing out low-grade psychoactives. Want a valium? Honey, we all want valium for this.
The guy who is maybe a vampire goes into Charlie's room at night, yeets him into the closet, grabs him in a throat hold and then threatens to kill him unless he forgets about him, and threatens to kill his mom if he makes too much noise. Charlie pulls out a cross and points it at him, but it doesn't work.
The vampire guy tries to throw him out the window, but then charlie stabs his hand with a nail, causing him to turn into a monstrous looking vampire guy with long fingernails.
"Do you want a valium? Some codine? Oh wait, I have some leftover cocaine."
Is this the least likable teen protagonist or what? #Monsterdon
so the important thing to know is to always give a vampire wood
a #2 pencil!
my greatest weakness!!! nooooo
#monsterdon
I also like the Vampire Rule that crucifixes only work if you were big on that thing while alive.
Weak vs No. 2 graphite, noted. #Monsterdon
Not quite as good as a pencil to the eye Baba Yaga style, but it seems to be effective.
All these Christians trying to use crosses on Jewish vampires smh
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985
call me a pencil-necked geek will you? WILL YOU?!
lololol, that's not portentious at all.
_Dandrige picks Charley up by the throat and throws him around the room_
*extremely Darth Vader voice* If this is a consular ship, where is the ambassador??
don't snitch on your neighbors is the lesson here
"wouldn't want to wake your mom up" he says after whistling as he went into the room. and then flinging him across the bedroom, breaking the closet door.
Don't worry. She's a heavy sleeper.
Oh no, an atheist vampire #monsterdon
see if I found out my neighbor was a vampire I wouldve just left them alone
none of my business
@cd0 This is a good point, it's been a whole half hour without any on-screen deaths
Oh no! The Pachinko machine! The real tragedy.
Pachinko!
He's RIGHT there in your hands, Jerry. Just kill him!
Just close your fist completely around his neck and you save yourself a WHOLE lot of problems later.

The name "Charley" is said how many times in tonight's feature?
Imagine if he killed Charlie right now and the next hour of the movie was him doing vampire stuff
I think it would be something of an upgrade
I dunno, not much to comment on because it's all so formulaic, predictable.
LOL|
#monsterdon
WTF, he's in mom's bedroom?!
Did they, hang out or did he just appear?
#Monsterdon
love the FM synth bass in this everyone
CLOSET MONSTER
That music is 80s for "something is afoot"
The guy who did the soundtrack just got a Yamaha DX7 and he's not afraid to use it #monsterdon
I have it on good authority that some 80s movies were better than this.
Not many, granted, but some.
#monsterdon
β« I saw mommy kissing Santa Cl-OH MY GOD #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon π§π¦ π§ββοΈπ¦ π§ββοΈ π¦π±
everyone in this movie sleeps weird
Ominous squeeking is ominous.
#monsterdon
I'm scared so I'll leave mom alone with the vampire..
The kid should have just said that he saw both murdered women next door.
This movie is taking itself far too seriously.
My God, Charlie's mom is gonna date this guy who's not a vampire? #monsterdon
Ominous Creaking acquired (for bingo purposes)
@jonny@neuromatch.social I thought he looked like Prince Humperdinck personally?
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985
i'll give the movie this, Things are Happening.
@jonny forget it, Johnny. It's the 80s.
@jonny Prosopagnosia: The Movie #Monsterdon
okay, kill the vampire, bring the Addamses back, burn down Charlie's house, make a movie about the Addamses and Evil
@floatybirb Grunge wasn't until the 90s (if you acknowledge grunge to be a thing etc.) so they must be some other kind of nerds.
Just feeling a little alienated
@ohiofi You know what? Guillermo could run laps around Billy. Guillermo is probably the best familiar who ever lived. I mean, no other familiar could put up with Nandor for so long.
oh no now *I'm* gay for Chris Sarandon too
Hi Charlie. Your mom made me a Bloody Mary. Do you get it?
Ed always sounds like you're talking to him just after he's been huffing glue.
My wife: "If it has to be the rightful owner, does it mean you can't invite them in if you're renting?"
Aaaand it's the vampire. #Monsterdon
Man Evil's line delivery. Clearly he wishes he was George McFly.
#Monsterdon sterdon
Yeah, garlic! I have faith in garlic
His laugh is very cringey.
evil is simultaneously 40 and 14, uncanny valley of age #monsterdon
Evil Ed is basically young Chet from Weird Science #monsterdon
This friend has such weird and off putting delivery and I don't think it's a deliberate choice #monsterdon
The laugh of the very high friend #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon π§π¦ π§ββοΈπ¦ π§ββοΈ π¦π±
but also I don't think you can be a vampire and eat an apple so
The police decide to listen to the boy and visit the house, where inside we find lots of art and a secret painting of the boy's girlfriend covered in straw. The boy says he saw them carry a coffin inside the cellar, but then the cop decides that the kid is dumb and leaves, thus ruling out the police as a resolution to this problem.
wait, he friend's name is Evil??? chef's kiss.
@Vanalope only in 80s movies, probably #monsterdon
I'm sorry, does his car have a cow pattern paint job?
#Monsterdon
#Monsterdon π§π¦ π§ββοΈπ¦ π§ββοΈ π¦π±
I don't think you can be a vampire and also be called 'Jerry Dandridge'
Charlie has made some strategic errors with his attempt at reporting the vampire to the police. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Casio π«Ά
are we supposed to be able to tell the two guys in the house apart or what #monsterdon
this cop only has a week left to retirement
he is too old for this shit
#Monsterdon
Cops don't generally bring witnesses along when questioning potential murderers right? RIGHT?!
I want that car.
ok this is science fiction. Cops actually showed up for that. and didn't shoot anyone. #monsterdon
oh my god charlie you can't just dig through a stranger's things
"Roommate"
Less like informing the cops , more like snitch intervention
"Do you mind if I come in and bring this next door neighbor child with me?"
@kshernandez I mean, it was the era of Porkyβs. By that standard this and Charlie, are pretty tame.
