Do I still think a man in suspenders is super hot because of Marty McFly? Yes, obviously

#Monsterdon

Show me some cute bats already

#Monsterdon

@yatsu It is kind of more entertaining than a lot of #Monsterdon movies if not actually good.

I like the Vampire rule that crucifixes only work because of right angles, which fuck with the Vamp's brain

#Monsterdon

Imagine the business opportunities for Vampiric roof repair. No need for ladders! Will complete work while you sleep!

Payable in multiple forms!

......wait, maybe not that last one.

#monsterdon #frightnight

aw heck, raccoons! #monsterdon

hatrack stairwells went out of fashion about the same time as shoulder pads

#monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Maybe this party jewlery will be so tacky, it will make him leave!
#Monsterdon

@yatsu Fuck no! We wore Izods and turned the collars up.

#Monsterdon

"We don't talk about Charlie"

#monsterdon

Only a vampire could cross his legs at the ankle like that!

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

#monsterdon The music score is toying with us. The undead spirit of Roger Corman is all over this "movie”. I've forgotten how absolutely doofy this production is.

@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.

#Monsterdon

We all know vampires can't break glass. Let's nail down the window.

#monsterdon

@jonny Wouldn't it be funny if the vampire was actually his father IRL or something?

#Monsterdon

Yeah, comedy like this just gives me contact embarrassment. #Monsterdon

Base riff!
#Monsterdon

Jerry Dandridge is the epitome of 80s cool.

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

interview with a vampire.

a sexy, gangly-ass vampire.

#monsterdon

Very white town and a Black lieutenant in the 1980s. Interesting. #monsterdon

That sure didn't take long...

#Monsterdon

Wait, they said you can't invite him IN, they didn't say anything about inviting him OVER! I think we found our loophole!
#Monsterdon

@flowerpot Ed's got his reasons. Charlie dropped his friend Eddie when other kids started calling him Evil Ed and he started calling him that too, and he started dating a girl (Amy) instead of watching Fright Night with him. #Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

this movie is very self aware of vampire mythology and loves to use it #FrightNight1985 #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Yeah I know the Mom was going to invite him in.

Also... no finger extensions.

I bet he spends that eight bucks on glue!

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Like Ray Parker Jr said: “Bustin’ makes me feel good”

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

- You, evil creature, what are you going to do
- Your mom

Well, he's been invited in. There's your problem.

#monsterdon #frightnight

Of COURSE he's drinking a Bloody Mary. #Monsterdon #FrightNight

So this vampire can eat / drink? #monsterdon

For a drink of what

FOR A DRINK OF WHAT?!

#monsterdon #FrightNight1985

@moira I'm constantly amused at how polarizing characters in these movies are.

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Evil? Evil and the main character have annoying voice. I wanna trip both of them. Is it wrong to be rooting for the vampire? He's so charming.
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Yeah, Prince Humperdink is quite a guy. #Monsterdon

With a little more genre sense Charlie could have known he was going to meet the vampire

#Monsterdon

Charley: "Oh no, he's hot"

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Vampire drinking a bloody Mary, love it.

#Monsterdon #frightnight1985

Welp, so much for not inviting him in...😂
#Monsterdon

I'm sure Mr Giles in the school library would have told him that information for free.

#Monsterdon

Sarandon gets all the fuck music.

#Monsterdon

God that gag phoned ahead and reserved the presidential suite. #monsterdon

He's watched all those Fright Night Tv shows and didn't pick up on basic vampire lore? #Monsterdon

did high schoolers wear button downs in the 80s? did they tuck them in??? this kid is the real monster here.

#monsterdon

@jonny back when everyone smoked cigarettes around you from birth on

#monsterdon

Wow Charlie, good thing a neighborhood expert lives so close

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

am i really the only person who likes bizarre gremlin friend?

#monsterdon #FrightNight1985

The cop probably only believed the kid's initial tip because he looks about 30.

#Monsterdon

A vampire can't enter your house without getting permission from the rightful owner first.

Really? He actually think that means he's safe? Really? He's that stupid???

#Monsterdon

DAMMIT MOM! #Monsterdon #FrightNight

Evil's channelling his inner Jack Palance.

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

Oh I also have a next door neighbor who rhymes with sandwich.

#Monsterdon

Is his "evil" buddy ever not high? Maybe you should find someone else to help you Charlie #Monsterdon

Dear god Mother your horniness is gonna get us all fucking KILLED!

#Monsterdon

He is like the next door psychopath kid in Toy Story #monsterdon #frightnight1985

what is that box thing on Evil Ed's desk? that's not an aquarium, is it?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon What's the weird hologram-looking thing this nerdy kid is messing with?

Why does Evil have a random gold cross hanging out on his shelf?

#Monsterdon

This decade did have some outstanding digital LCD watches. #Monsterdon

The Renfield of this movie reminds me of the goofy best friend of an old romcom.
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

@pineheap It's a nice touch in the sequel that the car is finished.

And white. I would have gone for the red, but it looks good! #Monsterdon

The laugh of the very high friend #Monsterdon

Is that a white light hologram? It doesn't render very well on camera does it

#monsterdon

Evil Ed is unhinged. I wouldn't trust anything he says.

#Monsterdon

I hope my human servants are just as sassy as this dude!

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

I hope Evil Ed gets killed first

#Monsterdon

@pineheap Cars looking this kind of bad because they're being patched together by amateurs with bondo was definitely a thing

#monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Tsk, tsk! Not listening to the youth is bad form. #monsterdon

8 whole dollars #monsterdon

"Don't call me Evil anymore! Call me ... Vicious."

#Monsterdon

Is Ed just an example of bad acting, or is he high as a kite?

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Eight bucks is a reasonable price.

#Monsterdon

Evil Ed really has some mood swings, doesn’t he?

#Monsterdon

I guess that's an interesting turn of events. The black police officer doesn't believe the white kid from the suburbs.
#monsterdon

People pay ridiculous amounts of money for vintage Casios these days. Lord knows why.

#monsterdon #frightnight

The women in his life don't believe him! Of course he'll turn out to be right because it's that kind of movie. #monsterdon

shit run Charlie the rip off Jaws plod music has started. Can't you hear the bass???
#Monsterdon

4:23? Oh NO!!!

#monsterdon

Evil's vampire hologram steals this scene

#Monsterdon

...I don't get it, did he just realize he's late for Trig? #Monsterdon

Casio watch! YESSSsss

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

GREMLIN GOTS HOLOGRAMS

#monsterdon #FrightNight1985

@blue Because they didn’t have a warrant or any probable cause.

#Monsterdon

So, we're talking a body shaped bag of trash? #monsterdon

Seriously, why is Charlie surprised no one believes him? I'd personally be a lot more worried about anyone who DID believe me right away.

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985 Current Charley credibility balance = 0

Charlie, you have incurred the wrath of your flannel-wearing neighbor

#Monsterdon

usually you collect witness statements separately. huh.

#monsterdon

Back when all watches were Casio.

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

Casio watch. Everyone drink!

#Monsterdon

(briefly: no, not even the 1980s would they have brought the kid along, nor would they have given the slightest indication of who complained.)

#monsterdon #FrightNight1985

why did they put a plainclothes detective on this call

#monsterdon

@socketwench Gotta ask the important questions: how long after a vampire attack is it safe to rent out your place on AirBnB?

#Monsterdon

Why did the lieutenant think there was any lead, and why would he bring the kid along with him?

#Monsterdon

Billy Cole showed you a brick wall, Charley...and you ran into it headfirst. It wasn't even subtle, ya jackass!

#Monsterdon

I want a Casio digital watch now.

@tag-monsterdon
#Monsterdon

did this cop not actually interview this kid before they barged into somebody's house? i mean, i'm not expecting a lot from a cop, but they should have some kind of paperwork to fill out or something, shouldn't they?

#monsterdon

@TerryHancock Is that what that is? #monsterdon

#monsterdon They are all chuckle-heads. Every single one of them. Need to have the martians land in the back yard and start replacing friends and family with pod-people that drop piranha. A monsterdon pastiche!

Yeah, don't think going off about him being a vampire is a great way to get the cops attention
#monsterdon
