House being drowned by smoke machine, quick call the smoke department

"The bad news? You got termites. The good news? The flood of dry ice from the roof killed them all."

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe and dog transformations #Monsterdon

Chew that scenery, Ed! Get it! Tear it up! Yeah!!

Evil Ed gone actually evil is a joy. XD

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

They're fumigating at the Dandridge house.

Bedbugs.

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

NOW we know why the film had such a low budget up 'til now.

Spent it all on fog machines.

#Monsterdon

I like that this has become Peter's movie at the end #monsterdon

Dry ice budget: maximum

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Bad time to talk about post-werewolf-vampire naked boy rigor mortis knotwork... yes?

If nobody else is gonna by Crowe T Robot:
PUPPY !!
#monsterdon

@trixter #Monsterdon

No fair giving goblin kid an actually good death scene :/ #Monsterdon

I too don't understand the werewolf situation in this movie. Wut?

#Monsterdon #frightnight1985

Werewolf, vampire, same difference

#monsterdon

Gollum? Is that you?

#monsterdon

Congrats Peter Vincent, you're a real vampire killer now.

#monsterdon

On behalf of dog lovers everywhere, thank you for making that stabbed dog look so fake

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

Charlie wields a cross and it deters sweater vampire, but then vampire sidekick hits him with something. The actor runs next door in panic to try to call the police but the phone is cut, so he searches for Charlie's mom, but finds the vampire nerd hiding in her bed with a wig on. Vampire nerd says that the mom is away and then... um... transforms into a wolf to attack the actor.

But the actor grabs an improvised steak from a damaged railing and stabs the vampire wolf.

#monsterdon

oh fuck me, nice doggy VFX too

#Monsterdon

lmfao the Raggedy Ann hair

#Monsterdon

HE SAID THE THING

#Monsterdon

HE SAID THE NAME OF THE MOVIE!

(for the third time now)

#monsterdon

Okay, scraping the railing with your fingernail is dramatic and all, but think of the resale value!

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

pretty much the only part of this movie i remember even a little is when they go into the house #monsterdon

okay the fingernail on the railing is awful and really effective

#Monsterdon

@apLundell Do you have any idea how many books with vampires sort of use that as a premise? It does not really become less creepy...

(and yes, that means I'm admitting have read said books)

#Monsterdon

He doesn't want to kill Charlie but he's happy to murder a couple of huge bouncers?

#Monsterdon

Again, eww, eww, eww, eww…

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

@floatybirb The novelization really does play it off as Jerry thinks humans are stupid and no one would believe what they heard or saw. I mean, I love that book, but...come on.

#Monsterdon

*chomp!*

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

#monsterdon Messy eater. Playing with your food like that. Messy, dribbly, poor wet seal, tsk.

Dude. She is in HIGH SCHOOL.
#monsterdon

@xerozohar Fucking winner comment of the night as far as I'm concerned.

#Monsterdon

I'm guessing Sweater Vampire took the risk of revealing his vampire nature in the nightclub because he really wanted the girl who was a lookalike to his ex-girlfriend, and that desire made him stupid.

#monsterdon

He has a button on the BACK of his shirt
#monsterdon

Roddy's performance is so great here. It moves this from like a 6.8(quite good) to 7.4(borderline classic). #monsterdon

@trixter Wool is everywhere in this movie
#monsterdon

If I had a vampire I wouldn't tell the police they are a vampire
#monsterdon

This vampire seduction scene is entirely too long.

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

"Grab this!"
"No, it's got sticky vampire shit on it."

#monsterdon #frightnight

Evil's laughter is actually evil laughter

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

publicly vampire killing guys is how you get the whole order van helsing'd, you absolute buffoon #monsterdon

yikes, "crush at a nightclub"

that happened a lot back then, didn't it?

#Monsterdon

And just think, all this could have been avoided if the snack bar served garlic knots

#Monsterdon

I mean he is like a century older than her, but she's not yours either Charlie...

#Monsterdon

Can stop thinking that vamp actor is store brand Billy Zane

#monsterdon

The 80s were disgusting. Sure the hair and clothes were bad, but mainly its the dancing with teenagers that's bothering me. #monsterdon

In 20 years this is the nightclub from Blade

#monsterdon

"Vampire boyfriends always work out, right?"

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou the magic of 80s hair!

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Well...I mean, what's Amy worth to you, REALLY, Charley.

#Monsterdon

My cousin spent sleepless nights with a lot of garlic and crossess on his bedroom
#monsterdon

Time for vampire mind control!

The 80's club music backing track is an essential component of this particular power

#Monsterdon

the fuck is going on
#monsterdon

@cd0 Usually there's some kind of different procedure for each. Like a vampire can drain all of their blood and kill a victim, or drink some of their blood and turn them into a minion/vampire spawn.

More rarely, anyone killed by a vampire later rises as a spawn.

#monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie memeable
#monsterdon

I still don't understand vampirism. Somehow one kind of bite turns someone and another is just for sustenance?

#monsterdon

Such big hair everywhere!

#Monsterdon

Hillbilly Vampire.

#Monsterdon

Why did going vampire give Evil Ed teeth like Duane Dibbley?

#Monsterdon

Did someone invite him into the club?

#monsterdon

Good vamp look on that kid
#monsterdon

Ten minutes as a vampire and he already blew it. :/ #Monsterdon

How many long dark alleys can one small town have? There's not enough buildings down town for miles of labyrinthian alleys.
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

can you EVEN IMAGINE

being stalked through the alleys by RICK ASTLEY?

#monsterdon

Vampire sounds like a lightsaber when he transforms. #monsterdon

Every 80s Movie: Quick! Let's hide in this night club!

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

[who-gives-a-shit 80s pop plays]

#Monsterdon

You teleportin' homie? Do you want Brundleflies? Cause that's how you get Brundleflies!

#Monsterdon

Technically, that's still a power outage.

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

@SRLevine TBH I'm ambivalent about the vampire's sweater but I respect it

#Monsterdon

"Join me and take revenge on the Neurotypicals/Straights!"

But why is Vampire Fiction so popular though?

#Monsterdon

Well, we have to give that this movie has a better soundtrack than most #monsterdon features

Evil Ed would actually probably make for a good familiar. Ditch Billy and make Edward your familiar!

#Monsterdon

"i know what it's like being different"

okay, nevermind, not subtext anymore is it.

#monsterdon

Alley trash, always boxes and bags and always thankfully dry.....

#Monsterdon

How large is this alley?

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

#monsterdon So, you're just going to walk down the alley looking for a convenient sheet, or maybe a wall with a hole in it... I mean... I guess the kid could put a garbage pail over his head and poke a hole into that, I mean, symbolically it would be appropriate…

@floatybirb I could say the same about Europe though, I think some Scandinavian countries are Vampire Dominant now...

#Monsterdon

This soundtrack makes me want to play Shadowrun for Sega Genesis

#Monsterdon

Hmm. Early example of fear of vampires being combined with gay panic metaphor? Or accidental thesis statement.
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

I was half expecting Ed to go for "you have to suck the vampire poison out"

#Monsterdon

"There are no such things as vampires!"

The cunning crane shot:

#Monsterdon

There, Charley finally shows a redeeming feature. "We walk Amy home first!" That's being a good boyfriend and a good human being at last. #Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Back in the suburban vampire castle / clock repository, the vampire sidekick / brother mentions that "she looks just like him" implying that Amy looks like the vampire guy's dead girlfriend in the picture. Then the vampire guy notices a shard of the mirror left by the actor.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon When Ed's testicles drop, he’ll be a force to be reckoned with…

I can't get past how crispy Roddy McDowalls hair is. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Dude left evidence. Shard of mirror. SMH!

this film is rife with sweaters

#Monsterdon

It's nice to see a renfield who seems kind-of sane and happy.

#monsterdon
#FrightNight

#monsterdon I'm not shaking, it's called the DT’s you stupid little bitch-boy! I need a draaaaank!

Does the cross require contact?

#Monsterdon

Yes Roddy McDowall is a big ole liar who is doing this for money... and so is his character. #monsterdon

the mirror reveal #monsterdon #FrightNight1985

If only holy water worked like heavy water, and had explosive powers, this would be a more exciting movie

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🧛🦇 🧛‍♂️🦇 🧛‍♀️ 🦇😱

Jerry should not have that rhino horn

I Can't Believe It's Not Acid

#monsterdon

That water could have been anything though...

#Monsterdon

I'm breaking out in a sweat just looking at Jerry's outfit. Sweater, long sleeved turtleneck…

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

EW DUDE SHES IN HIGH SCHOOL.

Gross I thought you were just supposed to eat people. #monsterdon
