pages 86-87!

#monsterdon

the three little teen pigs better watch out

#Monsterdon

This movie has actually pretty good vampire lore #monsterdon

What kind of earplugs is his mom using?

Oh, there she is.

#Monsterdon

aw, not the bondo-mobile!

#monsterdon

*cue Five Nights at Freddy's intro call*
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I wonder if all the movie directors are trying to establish some connection between manicure and civilized societies trough history

It’s been 25 minutes, and only one person liked my pun.

#Monsterdon

Ew! Dude... #monsterdon You should get that looked at...

Technically that's a bat on a string.

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

As a mother of former teenagers I'm totally insulted that this movie is portraying us as this horribly clueless

Insulted, I tell you

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

it's the 80s, we throw valium at our children like it's unwrapped candy on halloween

#monsterdon

Ahh, yes, the 80s, where valium flowed freely from the tap.

#Monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

"Do you want a Valium" Probably the most 80's thing that could possibly be said in an 80's movie. #Monsterdon #FrightNight

#Monsterdon
Vampires are weak against wood.
And did she just offer her son Valium?

Mom of the year offering Valium to a minor #monsterdon

why would you clean the scene up, Charlie? THAT'S THE EVIDENCE

#monsterdon

wtff mums give out valium in USA???
#Monsterdon

@ramsey Because he nailed it shut and badly enough that the vampire just ripped it open.

#monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Super-wind breath as a vampire power, huh

#Monsterdon

do you want a valium. mom is amazing, what a 1980s movie this is.

#monsterdon

Casually offering Valium to her teenage son, lovely
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985 Valium - the tic tacs of the 80s suburban mom.

some neck bruising expected after than no?

#Monsterdon #frightnight1985

David Boreanez?! #monsterdon

Why were there nails sticking out the bottom of window pane?

#Monsterdon

YAY Face makeup !
#Monsterdon

those contacts cut up his eyes no end. I am betting they are still made of glass at this point
#Monsterdon

Moms: My one weakness!

#Monsterdon

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

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

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