Man. Imagine waking up one night and Prince Humperdink is in your room. #Monsterdon

Why does his window sound like an old swing set?

#monsterdon

Asleep at his desk, waiting for the Internet to be invented...

#Monsterdon

Would you look at that, Charlie has an Atari 800 #monsterdon

Now he's just playing with his food. #Monsterdon #FrightNight

You would have invited him in, too don't think for a second you wouldn't have.

#Monsterdon

"I'm banging your Ma Charlie, what you think of that" he said with his eyes

#Monsterdon

This movie has a thing for hands.

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

That Vampire rule is very Capitalist really, what if you were a commune? What if you have no house?
What about renters?

#Monsterdon

Yeah he has to be invited but your mom owns the house and she's single an horny. #monsterdon

I feel like these are things he should know from watching all the vampire movies
#monsterdon

THE FINEST EIGHT DOLLAR CROSS

(bring your own garlic)

#monsterdon

Charlie watches Peter Vincent and doesn’t know any of this? #monsterdon

Pointed out to me that The Lost Boys would make a nice pairing with this #FrightNight1985 #Monsterdon

I really hate his "sidekick" friend.
#Monsterdon

sure I'll pop down to the circle k for some links of garlic

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Kids are five minutes too late for a gay parody XXX to break out, like perpetually late, out of phase-style.

Yes your creepy dweeb friend will definitely believe you.... or maybe just laugh in your face. #monsterdon

Now they know you know Charlie. What next? #monsterdon

"Well that's the last time I take the lead from a teenage boy..."

#Monsterdon

Casio Watch!

#Monsterdon #frightnight1985

Fun fact: Being thrown in jail forever would violate your right to due process... #monsterdon

Standard police procedure. Take the lanky teenage kid from next door as a deputy.
#monsterdon

It's nice how the police let Charlie lead the investigation

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

At least they're enjoying Charlie's story

#Monsterdon

and now he's lost the police. Whoops. #FrightNight1985 #Monsterdon

Lol that painting looks more like his mom than it looks like Amy

#Monsterdon

Only a vampire could catch a purse like that!!

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

He's a vampire, mom! A confident, brooding, bisexual vampire!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Mom's a moron. Amy's somewhat dim, but Charlie is mostly a trope that wants a box of Kleenex.

The next day the boy checks the cellar of the house next door but is warned off by the guy who lives there.

That night the boy falls asleep watching horror movies, then wakes up and sees a couple making out next door; the girl takes off her bra, showing us Boobs, and that guy making out with her has vampire fangs. Then the guy spots the boy peeping like the perv he is, and stares at him as he closes the blinds.

#monsterdon

Creepy dude is creepy

#Monsterdon

[synth titty accompaniment] #Monsterdon

MONSTER CH... oh no wait not quite yet

#monsterdon

@wohali Welcome to #FrightNight !

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon
Breasts sighted
And
Vampire teeth.

The next day in the lunch hall, the girl tries to apologize to the boy and the boy says he loves her, but then is distracted by a TV report showing that the attractive girl he saw yesterday was murdered, which he gets up to watch. His friend informs us that another person was murdered and decapitated.

The boy being distracted again makes the girl mad and she slams a hamburger or something into his face. I'm guessing that's how the interactions between these two will go.

#monsterdon

checks the channel Wait, I didn't intentionally tune to Skinemax...

#monsterdon

wow, what are we 13 minutes to tiddy. not a record, but...

#monsterdon

That would give me an instant neck-ache. Flexibility and pain resistance are lost on the young! #monsterdon

Oh good, we met Renfield. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Charlie is a peeping Margaret.

Did Charley just take a sloppy joe to the face?

...does anybody dare eat a sloppy joe in public!??!

#monsterdon

This is all very Buffy The Vampire Slayer

#Monsterdon

It's not your fault, it's his

#Monsterdon

suspenders over a sweater are something

#Monsterdon

Omg someone said "gay" without being hostile in an 80s movie. Weird. #monsterdon

Because the teenagers are arguing they go downstairs, where the boy's mom is watching TV and not at all alarmed by them making out and gives them relationship advice.

The girl leaves because she's mad. The mom tells the audience that a new neighbor moved next door and they're good looking.

#monsterdon

Nobody has Big Hair (yet) -- this can't be the 80s
#monsterdon

boys only want one thing and it's disgusting

to follow shady guys carrying a coffin
#monsterdon

NOTHING MOM WE WEREN'T ABOUT TO FUCK

#monsterdon #FrightNight1985

It's called consent you effing douche! #monsterdon

DUMP HIM
#Monsterdon

Marcy Darcy

#monsterdon

ewww, pressuring the girlfriend for sex, ewwww

#Monsterdon

My dude, what?

A) wrong end.

B) that thing vibrate?

C) is that a roddy mcdowel?

#Monsterdon

Ew 80s coming of age nonsense. #monsterdon

another great horror film from, uh, Screwdriver Scariness

#monsterdon

These kids today will never understand the joys of a big back tv! #monsterdon

80s object porn

#Monsterdon

he had the point of the stake pointing in the wrong direction
#monsterdon

That man has the Ape Scientist's voice, but he's a wee English human?!

#Monsterdon

RE: https://mastodon.social/@gnomon/115324521970889193

This WHOLE score is magic! The soundtrack, too!

#Monsterdon

This feels a lot like the opening of the first Back to the Future. #monsterdon

Love that he was holding the stake backwards.

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

Amanda Bearse landed Married With Children right after this and has been on easy street since. #monsterdon

"Music by Brad Fiedel"

(Whose music you might recognize from The Terminator!)

#monsterdon

That Tom Holland? I thought he wasn't even born?

Vampire!!!

#Monsterdon

Uh interesting, I'm not getting any sound for some reason, I wonder if this is going to improve the movie

#Monsterdon

✅ Howling right off the bat! #Monsterdon

When the Moon hits your eye like a big monster pie that's awoo-re

#Monsterdon

Cool, I love Spider-man

#Monsterdon

Colombia Pictures, where we let movies break your ears
#monsterdon

@bunnyhero I've talked to Tom Holland a couple of times elsewhere. Mostly about Tales From the Crypt (because that's when he seemed to show up).

Real nice guy. Or was in the interactions I've seen. #Monsterdon

Glad I made it back to monsterdon tonight. Easier to remember now that the sun goes down earlier, i'm always at least an hour late in the summer.

#monsterdon

Is that a turtle cyclops? wtf? Why is he wrecking a two story restaurant?
#Monsterdon #ThrillingBloodySword

And a melting guy!! Great special effects in this movie

#Monsterdon

@paco @Canageek I’m reminded a little of Wesley Crusher sweaters.

#Monsterdon

A bloody giant space bean from the stars? Is it a devil or an angle?
#Monsterdon #ThrillingBloodySword

#monsterdon okay this follow up film just straight up lifted Star Blazers* for its theme.

*Or Vice Versa, Or it was Uchu Senkan Yamato, Star Blazers as a title did play better in the midwest US in the 70's

edit: Thrilling Bloody Sword (1981)

Yeah that million dollar special effects budget showed. We don't usually get treated this well for special effects on monsterdon. 😂 #Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

@ManWithPez it’s no Angel is a Centerfold I’ll tell you what.

#Monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON Goodbye!

❤️ Thank you @Taweret for hosting this vampy video! Great fun! The scroll was ridiculously fast. Probably busted 3000 again.

🅱️ and thanks @Cherizilla for the Bingo card! Bratty sibling is evergreen!

🦖And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: There was no way I could respond to everything I wanted to. Intense and extremely funny tootstorm.

Saw fun posts from a lot of well known influencers from other activities on Mastodon. Great stuff! I'm exhausted

Sure hope Evil Ed is okay. Otherwise how is Ms. Brewster going to explain the naked dead teenager in her house?

#Monsterdon

Yep. That is the Starblazers theme alright. Welp.

#monsterdon

Vampire eliminated. Is there anything solar power cannot do?

Now it's time for some Martian #Monsterdon and chill

Until the Bundy's move next door :blobtonguewink:

THE END

I still don't know exactly how the Undo function worked on Amy but I'm glad she made it through.

Thanks for the sucked-but-in-a-good-way one @Taweret ! The back half of the movie more than made up for the give-him-a-smack Charlie!

Great fun again, thank you #Monsterdon folk. Hope someday we can watch The People Under the Stairs.

@jsadow Pretty sure every piece of vampire media I've seen has different logic for how you can turn back

#Monsterdon

Right, Peter Vincent pulled the stake out of Evil Ed. Does the stake needed to remain in to keep them dead?

#monsterdon

@nazokiyoubinbou Well he does pull the stake back out of Evil after his long death scene. SO by some vampire lore rules he's alive again? I guess?
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

EVERYTHING ASPLODES! Love it. No notes.

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Thanks, @Taweret for hosting! Looking forward to more 80s horror during October. Great start. (the true horror was the hole we put in the ozone with all the hairspray)

#Monsterdon

welcome back #monsterdon #octaman

Gotta say, I miss these sorts of audio dynamics where even the synth drums have quite a kick to them. That's something we've lost since the 80s.

#Monsterdon #LoudnessWar

alas no bingo for meeee

#monsterdon #FrightNight1985

I will sleep with the covers pulled up around my neck tonight. That has always been sufficient to this point. Goodnight!

#Monsterdon #frightnight1985

Octaman was my first #Monsterdon ❤️

You're so cool, Brewster!

thanks #monsterdon ! h/t to @Taweret and @ryan !

They say that if the wind is right you can still hear Evil say “you’re so cool, Brewster.”
