ah well at least the screaming woke up Mom. saved by the Mom.

#monsterdon

wait, do charley and his mom have adjoining rooms? what is this house???

#monsterdon

Oh, there’s the nails! #Monsterdon

guy musta went through hell on standardized tests
#monsterdon

Woah man, I know you suck blood, but two words: Tooth Brush
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Clearly we have the same "true demonic visage" thing as in Buffy.

I also dreamed I was naked at a white sale.

#Monsterdon

Excellent.
#Monsterdon

What was that pencil made from?

#Monsterdon

Why does his yell emit a blue glow??? #monsterdon

The practical fx are pretty shit. Not impressed.

#monsterdon #frightnight

A 2B!? That hurts, you jerk!

#monsterdon #frightnight

He turned into Vigo the Carpathian

#Monsterdon

VAMPIRE WITH REAL SPINNING ACTION

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Staedler glow up who dis

Turned the hand over completely before taking the pencil out to show it to us.

40 years later and that pencil gag might be the simplest trick in this movie but I think it's still very effective.

#Monsterdon

Okay we had those loafers in Concord, New Hampshire in 1987 and you had to tie the laces in this fancy loopy thing or else you weren't cool, like it was a BIG DEAL

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

Hold on, did he just spin around after being stabbed?😂
#Monsterdon

Oh no, the Vampire turned ugly #Monsterdon

Yeah, well Charlie’s into breath play. Take that, vampire!

#Monsterdon

🎶 he went out through the bedroom window 🎶

#monsterdon

Hey, he's giving out choices before Lestat! He's a vampire ahead of his time. #Monsterdon

love the spinning!!! Very Wizard of Oz

#monsterdon

Get another pencil dude

#Monsterdon #frightnight1985

Who knew a graphite pencil through the hand of a vampire could make him go vamp face?

#Monsterdon

Ooh. Okay I love the picture frame falling on the fence post. Great shot.
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

She's gonna get to hump the dink!

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

@Taweret cut a deal immediately to not eat me or my friends and call it square #monsterdon

Charley is so unlikeable as a protagonist he even bullies someone who is supposed to be his friend who is "too weird". Someone who is othered at school and extremely queer coded.

#monsterdon

GO HAWKEYES!

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

#Monsterdon 🧛🦇 🧛‍♂️🦇 🧛‍♀️ 🦇😱

wow this kid has some cool stuff that's now broken

Snitches get multiple stiiiiiiitchess
#Monsterdon

(I am amusing myself, YMMV)

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

@paco

I think he first put a spell on her

#Monsterdon

At least the movie isn't wasting any time establishing the reality of the monster. It almost makes me hope it will be short.

#Monsterdon

Thats right I forgot that when you penetrate a vampire they spin around in a circle.

#Monsterdon

oh no, he called him "boy," goosebumps.

from the fear.

that's the emotion.

#monsterdon

@70sgayspaceangel Charlie's mom probably took pills this time so her crazy son wouldn't wake her up again. #FrightNight1985 #Monsterdon

#monsterdon
If you are worried about waking mom maybe don't throw him through a closet..

Only a vampire could squeak like that!

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

buddy, NO ONE is going to believe you fixed the lights in a pachinko machine for this boy's bedroom.

#monsterdon

@msh #TeamMonster

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Technically this is a complicated path for basic oral sex... boys... ;)

Shitty headshot of Amanda Bearse anyways.

#Monsterdon

True Facts: Sears imported Pachinko machines during this era! You could get them for a couple hundo!

#monsterdon

Cross not useful without faith #FrightNight1985 #monsterdon

Charlie has some really cool 80s stuff in his room...

#Monsterdon

Writing about the #FrightNight remake, Roger Ebert made a cryptic reference to "an inspired use of product placement." Does the original movie have a similar scene? #monsterdon

But I don't want to forget about you❤️
#Monsterdon

oh no chris sarandon being in someone's bedroom and choking them, what a super scary situation that is definitely not appealing

#monsterdon

Clearly I've only ever heard good this about this movie for decades because of the vampire. And probably Roddy when he gets here.
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

#Monsterdon
Red is definitely the accent color of this movie. Love the scarf.

"You deserve to die, boy."

Yeah, I've been telling Amy that the whole time. #Monsterdon

you can't eat your neighbors after they accuse you of being a vampire to the cops, that is way too much heat. you're putting the whole order at risk #monsterdon

did he have a pinball machine in his room? in the 80s? that feel rich.

#monsterdon

NOOOO I'M ALERGIC TO PACHINKO BALLS NOOOOOOOOoooooooooo

#monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Showdown between „hero“ and monster and 77 minutes to go, promising. #monsterdon

Bedroom pachinko??

#Monsterdon

@diazona @Lazarou Oh, that one is Peter Watt's fault. And a reason to read Blindsight.

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Mom's quite a sound sleeper #Monsterdon

sneak sneak boo!
#Monsterdon

Why did such a huge fan of monster movies need to have anything about vampires explained to him?

#Monsterdon

Whistling Strangers in the Night while walking into a teenage boy's room is next level creepy, Jerry.

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Now his mom will DEFINITELY wake up. COME ON. #monsterdon

Always remember to warm up your neck before a vampire attack

#Monsterdon

It's difficult to get the timing right on the whole turn-around-neck-grab thing. Guys got experience. #Monsterdon

Right through the closet door! Inconceivable!

#Monsterdon

@floatybirb I think movies about nerds often have the random "alternative" dude but rendered in a nerdy way because the movie itself is not cool.

#Monsterdon

"I'm saving her for later."

#monsterdon #FrightNight1985

He's RIGHT behind me isn't he??
#Monsterdon

LOL|
#monsterdon

I recall really liking this film as a kid, but I think maybe I read the novelization more than the film because so many scenes and plot points so far are not ones I recall. Well except Chris Sarandon being almost David Bowie levels of interesting. #monsterdon

I like how the popped collar and red scarf suggest the classic stiff collared, red-lined Dracula cape

#monsterdon

make Charlie into a smoothie
too soon???
#Monsterdon

Maybe instead of Roddy McDowall, Charley should try Cary Elwes #FrightNight1985 #Monsterdon

vamp gonna fuck with Charlie every night by just moving his shit around slightly
#monsterdon

@miru IMO Jerry Dandridge didn't drain Charlie's mom b/c he saw she was wearing a sleeping mask and it cracked him up so he let her live. #Monsterdon #frightnight1985

"he's right behind me, isn't he?"

#monsterdon #FrightNight1985

This 80s synthesizer music and Chris Sarandon’s sexy vampire looks, this shaped an entire generation #monsterdon

Vampire whistling "Strangers in the Night" as he stalks around Charley's house. #Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

I don't remember pants being this tight in the 80's

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

@Lazarou lolwat that's a new one on me

#Monsterdon

coming out of the closet now

#Monsterdon #frightnight1985

Strangers in the night.....
Exchanging fluids

#monsterdon #frightnight

for a moment I thought the vampire had under-collar lighting

then I realized that would have been actually cool.

#monsterdon

Vampire in the bedroom is totally 80s synth porn music.

#monsterdon

I LOVE a good mirror shot though. *chef kiss*
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

he should be eating garlic when charlie walks in

#monsterdon #FrightNight1985

hey, no need to break the house, mr sarandon.

also, the whistle was so perfect.

#monsterdon

OMG! I just realized where I’ve seen the vampire before!

He’s Prince Humperdinck from The Princess Bride!

#Monsterdon

The movie's primary motif reminds me of another movie, but I can't place it. THEY LIVE, maybe?

#Monsterdon

the jewel encrusting on the crucifix makes it go faster #monsterdon

I wasn't sure I'd ever seen this movie, outside of some clips, and yeah clearly I haven't seen this movie. I think I would have remembered not liking the main character.
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

@wohali@timeloop.cafe Because they didn't have quite enough budget for the foley artists, I guess?

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Only a vampire could make such a suggestive threat!

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Hey, that cocktail held by visiting "Jerry" was a Bloody Mary!

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

this better be mice iceskating
#Monsterdon

HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THE CROSS AS A LAPEL PIN, CHARLIE

GO HANDS-FREE!

#monsterdon

Don't worry, if you run into him just ask him his favorite strategies for starting a war between Florin and Guilder, he'll talk all night

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

Much of the film's $9.5 million budget was spent on special effects (it was the first vampire film to spend $1 million on special effects).
