That's a vampire voice if I ever heard one

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon So sex teen romp. LOL

The movie starts with a full moon, and here in real life it's a full moon. Nice.

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

"...what was that?"
"Ozzy Osbourne barking at the moon?"

Wait, this is Snow White?
The music has switched from ripping off your grandpa's anime to ripping Chuck Mangione only here it's an oboe instead of a flügelhorn.

Thrilling Bloody Sword (1981)

@Configures Yeah with that pumping club music everyone was dancing so fast! 😜
#monsterdon

@ramsey @Canageek

The most important special effect. Huge clouds of cotton for the villains lair.
#Monsterdon #ThrillingBloodySword

Bear? Just a bear?
#Monsterdon #ThrillingBloodySword

@paco @ramsey @Canageek He was moving fast! Thanks for that shot. #Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

@moira thank you for the inspiration to make this, this is the first time I've ever used a motion-tracked effect

"Charlie, why did you bring THAT to the vampire confrontation?!"

#Monsterdon

@nazokiyoubinbou @Louisa yeah what the heck? does he not count with the dawn thing?

i meant the glowing eyes and disembodied laughter #Monsterdon

@nazokiyoubinbou @Louisa maybe it was just a halloween decoration #Monsterdon

I know antihero is when the protagonist is a badass loose cannon doesn’t play by the rules type. But what is it when the protagonist is just a low-grade jerk who sullies the soul of anyone in the room with them just by being a petulant, peevish pustule of a human being?

Asking for obvious reasons.

#monsterdon #FrightNight

@jadebees Mrs Brewster was working the night shift and left a note saying dinner was in the oven. So she misses all the climactic action.

She comes home to the house wrecked, Charlie's car destroyed (by the vampire the day before), blood stains on carpets and walls and stuff, and everyone babbling some shit about real vampires. And if Ed didn't survive, she finds a her son's best friend naked and dead in the hallway.

Ed's mom is in hysterics because the last place she saw her precious little boy was with the crazy Brewster boy. And now Ed''s gone missing (or has been found naked and dead)!

The police pick up Charlie because of all these crazy murders lately. With both his neighbors and his best friend missing, he's the prime suspect. They've got his fingerprints all over crime scenes and possible murder weapons, both of which are covered in blood.

But then somehow it all just works itself out. The parents wink and say "you little scallywags." And the 2 teenage leads go upstairs to snog in front of the TV.

#monsterdon

@Louisa did Charley's mom come home and find dessicated ed or #Monsterdon

Everything's great! Vincent has his show back, Charlie and Amy are making out, the house is for sale again, and I guess they told Ed's distraught parents that they haven't seen him

#Monsterdon

Battlestar Galactic music now? Huh??
#Monsterdon #ThrillingBloodySword

Why is the witch in Egyptian queen cosplay? Is she celebrating Halloween early?
#Monsterdon #ThrillingBloodySword

Good thing the basement has so many large windows

#Monsterdon

Wait the turtle cyclops is using Gamera roars. Aka modified elephants and stuff.
#Monsterdon #ThrillingBloodySword

Wicked witch of the special effects budget?
#Monsterdon #ThrillingBloodySword

Chekhov's stained glass window!

#Monsterdon

Must not rant about how cheap the special effects are... Cheap fantasy movie is trying it's hardest to do Hobbit effects on a budget...
#Monsterdon #ThrillingBloodySword

@Taweret yayy! sexy queer vampires! Basically what my wife is watching on her tablet with True Blood.

#Monsterdon

It was hard to get a shot of the sweater he wore dancing in the nightclub.
#monsterdon
@ramsey @Canageek

I don't remember Snow White and the Seven Dwarves involving this much blood.
#Monsterdon #ThrillingBloodySword

@EmptySet Given the cut to make out time in a clean house, it looks like Evil Ed was sent to a farm upstate.

#Monsterdon

RE: https://mastodon.social/@cd0/115324876629096184

You have no idea how happy it makes me that even one person got this reference. #monsterdon

@klu9 eh but what about when we do double features not on Miru

(which has happened in the past, dunno if it'll happen again though, with how regular the stream has been)

#Monsterdon

DEVO and Sparks in the sound track!

#Monsterdon

Shoot bird... catch fish... this movie is going to just keep being confusing isn't it.
#Monsterdon #ThrillingBloodySword

this looks trippy
i may watch on in the background
#Monsterdon

@himbovoorhees indeed, but also most of the fun of #Monsterdon (for me at least) is knowingly being pedantic about things that we have no business being pedantic about

@Canageek Here you go:
#monsterdon

Contact lens effect by Dr. Morton K. Greenspoon

#Monsterdon

Well this cursed bleeding bean is a gift from the gods so we can't just kill it... but it's too creepy to keep here. Toss it into the river.
#Monsterdon #ThrillingBloodySword

@socketwench ooh I hope we get to that later this month

#Monsterdon

Mellotron choir is stuck

#monsterdon

The internet says Marti Noxon wrote the 2011 remake.

#Monsterdon

Goddamn they put a lot of makeup budget into Ed's disgusting death

#Monsterdon

Always a pleasure to watch Fright Night, even more so with all of my friends here on #Monsterdon. ❤️ Thank you so much for a great evening and I hope everyone has a great week!

@Taweret Thanks for hosting again, and for making such fine 1980s selections!

By this “if we kill him before dawn” logic the Ed / Evil kid should be ok too. #monsterdon #FrightNight

I probably can't join in this month, 80s horror movies tend to be far to scary for me. #Monsterdon

thanks #monsterdon for a lovely time. :cat_ffxiv:

oh if data is in this next film i have to watch
#Monsterdon

But also if you wanna be pedantic about fright night of all movies, think you’re watching the wrong movie lol. In the words of mystery science theater “it’s just a show, I should really just relax.”

#monsterdon

I'd make a closing joke about Fright Night 2, but....they actually made the darn thing.

#monsterdon #frightnight

@paco @jsadow So, they documented, before sunrise next day? #LawyerSlashVampireHuntersTonight #Monsterdon

Rookie move, removing that stake! #monsterdon

It just don't make sunless lairs like they used to, huh Jerry

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

I feel like we've had more hits than misses with 80s movies. That was fun.

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

#Monsterdon
#FrightNight

I weep for the career of Roddy McDowall.
No bingo for me either.

I was almost sure that Amy would kill Charlie in the end, revealling herself as the new vampire overlady
#monsterdon

And I had no idea there was a part 2 of Fright Night #monsterdon

#monsterdon

Thanks, @Taweret for hosting! Also @Cherizilla for Bingo. A great last half of a film for all.. and some other stuff..

@paco Not that it matters but usually killing the vampire that sired them doesn't turn them back into humans...it really doesn't matter.

#Monsterdon

Wow wow wow this end credits track is some kind of thing

#monsterdon

I enjoyed making fun of that movie, and I think the make-ups were awesome.

Thanks, as always to @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for #MonsterdonBingo, @ryan for hosting the livestream, @JoeWynne for drinks and trivia, and all of you for making it awesome!

Cheers!

#Monsterdon

Sprocket is quite entranced with all the clocks chiming vampire o’clock. #Monsterdon

That was great! As always, loved the commentary, everyone. 🎃 Thanks for hosting, @Taweret

#Monsterdon

A bespoke closing song was NOT on my BINGO card.

#Monsterdon

I just love 80s outro music! #Monsterdon

I still really enjoy this movie, cult classic. I agree with others that it should have been centered on Peter Vincent, he has always been my favourite character.

Thanks everyone for joining and @Taweret for organzing. I loved this movie as a kid and made my mom watch it way too many times!
#monsterdon

I feel like Ed's death scene would not be equalled until Paul Rubens in Buffy the Vampire Slayer #Monsterdon

For those who also follow me, the mechanical bull turned out to be very tame looking and the sounds from next door have been minimal. I'm sorely disappointed in my new neighbors. Clearly wasn't going to compete with a bad vampire movie.

#Monsterdon

@hollie Yep! There's always something queued up on @miru , I forget what it is today though

#Monsterdon

Great #monsterdon movie with great company! Thanks @Taweret and the gang for this nice time!

Are they setting up a sequel?
#monsterdon

Fun monster movie.
Four Octomen out of five.
The slow start of the movie before Roddy McDowall shows up does drag it down though. The lead isn't good enough to hang a movie on before we go heavy into the sexy vampire stuff.
Peak credit song though, that does help.
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Thank you @Taweret , that was fun.
#Monsterdon

which director's relative wrote this theme tune?
#Monsterdon

@jsadow They had to kill the real vampire before sunrise to undo the curse. So they waited until after sunrise and used sunlight to kill him... 🤔

#monsterdon

Thanks y'all ✌️

#Monsterdon

She's the *bloofer lady" from the Br Stoker novel, but for grown-ups.

#Monsterdon

This is probably the worst closing credits song I’ve ever heard. It doesn’t match the seriousness of the movie.

Maybe there's a director's cut of this film that takes itself much less seriously?

#Monsterdon

The film’s original ending saw Peter Vincent transform into a vampire—while hosting “Fright Night” in front of a live television audience.
#Monsterdon #MonsterdonTrivia #FrightNight1985

Hey @diazona I had too much coffee today, are we doing a double feature?

#Monsterdon

aright, and we've ended...that #monsterdon with okay, a fair ending.

that first hour was a slog but the ending vfx? a++ amaze.

this was Fright Night!

So many vampire animatronics
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

I don't understand how Amy became not-a-vampire but whatever.

#Monsterdon

@gnomon So does the dog die? No, apparently.
#monsterdon

This was a slow one to be sure but it has enough in the front half to keep you from turning it off.

And wow were the VFX worth the wait.

Happy October, everybody!

#Monsterdon

I had a hard time with the sexual predation in this film, but the last third was A+, no notes. Really nice FX too.

Thanks to our host @Taweret and assistance in @cherizilla (bingo) @JoeWynne (trivia + cocktail) @ryan (livestreaming)

See you next week for another spooooky movie!

#monsterdon

Classic, absolute cinema #monsterdon

#monsterdon Skipping the End card and go right for the really awful synthpop "closing score”... sure…

And they all fucked off into the sun!

#Monsterdon

So ends another #Monsterdon with the classic, #FrightNight. Our thanks to @Taweret for hosting, and for everyone lurking and posting. And remember #Monsterdoners: Oh, you're so COOL, Brewster!

well, second half was good

sure took a while to get going tho'

#monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Good times at the old #monsterdon!

Amy's back, and she has an absotitly breastacular outfit to show for the whole ordeal. #Monsterdon

Uhm....

What?

Was Evil supposed to still be alive or... Wait, but no, before dawn.

I don't understand.

#Monsterdon

so if vampirism grows your hair a lot, I have to wonder how often your pits would need shaved else you look like you are smuggling badgers?
#Monsterdon

OH look, Amy's hair is short again. #monsterdon

Love the Octaman cameo.

#Monsterdon

That's my secret, I'm always thinking about Octaman stealing that RV

#Monsterdon
