Good job bringing your girlfriend, Charlie. The vampire is gonna fuck your girlfriend in addition to your mom, Charlie.
This is a pattern now, Charlie. I have to assume it's a thing for you.
"And who are these... attractive young people?"
THEY ARE IN HIGH SCHOOL
NOT COOL
NOT EVEN ONE LITTLE BIT COOL
OK vampire or not you gotta kill him now
Billy Cole just fuckin' with Charley is funny to me on a level I can't explain.
"Who are these two... delicious young people?"
@Lazarou It probably takes like 700 years to build up to that lifestyle

@Violinknitter There is a lot of knitwear in this film
Jer the vampire
You know this film has a super high budget because we never got to see Charlie's "wrecked" car. #Monsterdon
Set designer had fun with clocks.
#monsterdon
Do vampires actually eat fruit?
I mean bats do, but they only drink blood. It's just not canon vampire...
Wow, this is moving slowly
too many clocks you madman
ah yes, a bowl of fruit. how terrifying.
500 USD in 1985 would be like 1500 USD today. Yes I googled. #monsterdon
Damn it, Roddy McDowell is so good in this.
500 dollars, in 1985 dollars, it being 1985, the year that this is
Looks like they did that grey spray treatment on Roddy McDowall, his hair looks like a store window on December 24th. #monsterdon sterdon
Buffy had to have been influenced by this movie.
"Hollywood beckons!"
Hit him again, Amy. #Monsterdon
He could just buy a tent and live in it. Since he’s the owner, the vampire doesn’t get in uninvited. #monsterdon
I like his smoking jacket, is that silk?
Amy was riding up to Charley's house on a 1985 Honda Elite four-stroke, right? Am I spotting that correctly?
All those candles are a fire hazard though, especially with teenagers
"Then he'll be able to suck his way across the entire town" is the best line in this #monsterdon so far.
Charlie earnestly tells the vampire show actor that there's a vampire next door. The actor says he lied when he said he believed in vampires and drives off.
The next day, Amy and metalhead nerd go to visit Charlie, to find that he's filled his room with candles, crosses and garlic and is sharpening stakes and is planning to murder the vampire. While she thinks her boyfriend is crazy, the news plays and says that there was another murder.
Prank calling my neighbor: “Hi, is Mr. Stake there? First name Wooden?”
"This is just like Fright Night" - of course it is - you've read the script
Charlie has gone full on - smear the walls with my own matter
Two days it took him
#Monsterdon
I would be two states away by now
Loving Amy's little Cassette Future scooter there!
Only a vampire could zoom the camera like that!
@catzilla LOVE him in the sequel. That scene between him and the bartender gives me goosebumps every time. But yes, he's fantastic in this. #Monsterdon
instead of harassing this tv guy you could be using this time to like leave town
Because all the regular channels of advice have not worked, Charlie decides to take advice from vampire movies and learns that you can kill vampires with a stake through the heart.
He decides to stalk the author who plays the vampire hunter and asks him if he really believes in vampires, which he does, but also he's been fired for being too serious about vampires and no one wants to watch vampire shows any more.
why is this man not screaming SECURITYYY?
#Monsterdon
Charlie goes back to his room and relaxes with another relaxing vampire movie, then the vampire neighbor calls him on the phone while staring at him through an open window, so he can threaten him homoeroticaly.
Anyway he says he destroyed Charlie's car but will then do something worse to him tomorrow night. Probably something gay.
Dime store Vincent Price pastiche was played by Roddy McDowall. #monsterdon
It's pretty contemporary to reach out to a Celebrity for help rather than, I dunno, Slayers?
I'm gonna finish this like an ice cold Coors beer, Charlie
@LuluHelle 80s... 70s woulda been qualudes lol (I keed)
"I need my sleep, I start the night shift tomorrow. Three o'clock in the morning, it's so bad for my complexion..."
Let's figure out what job Charley's mom is supposed to have. Something with a pretty generous health plan if she's offering Valium to her kid?
Valium for a nightmare. Now that's dating this movie.
Remember to use a #2 pencil when vanquishing vampires. #Monsterdon
uh oh -- MOMs.
A vampyre's greatest fear!
#monsterdon
@SnoopJ @Newpa_Hasai @Lazarou ooh I gotta put that on my list
Characters in this #monsterdon so far
Charlie (main boy): generic teenage protagonist. has pervert binoculars. the boy who cried 'vampire'
Amy: girlfriend of main boy, annoyed that he keeps ignoring her during crucial moments to investigate all the murders
Mom: local milf, vampire boyfriend now (maybe)
Vampire Guy: might not be a vampire
Jeep Guy: friend/cousin/brother of vampire guy. helps with the murders.
Generic Friend
Metalhead Nerd Friend
Unhelpful Policeman
So presumably the mom gets fanged.
I don't mean to rush you, movie, but I'm getting a little bored.
#monsterdon
So mum is smitten with the vampire neighbour that looks kinda like a grown up version of her son who has a painting that looks kinda like both the son's girlfriend and his mum...the vampire stuff is the least creepy part of this #Monsterdon isn't it
for a moment I thought the vampire had under-collar lighting
then I realized that would have been actually cool.
This movie is using just about exactly the same soundtrack from an 80s mystery or cop show
Man. Imagine waking up one night and Prince Humperdink is in your room. #Monsterdon
Why does his window sound like an old swing set?
Asleep at his desk, waiting for the Internet to be invented...
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.
"I'm banging your Ma Charlie, what you think of that" he said with his eyes
This movie has a thing for hands.
That Vampire rule is very Capitalist really, what if you were a commune? What if you have no house?
What about renters?
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
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 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..."
Casio Watch!
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
At least they're enjoying Charlie's story
and now he's lost the police. Whoops. #FrightNight1985 #Monsterdon
Lol that painting looks more like his mom than it looks like Amy
Only a vampire could catch a purse like that!!
Let it go Amy, he's a creep and you deserve better
He's a vampire, mom! A confident, brooding, bisexual vampire!
@paco Why not both? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #monsterdon
#monsterdon Mom's a moron. Amy's somewhat dim, but Charlie is mostly a trope that wants a box of Kleenex.
as subtle as a box of hammers is Charlie
#Monsterdon
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.
Creepy dude is creepy
[synth titty accompaniment] #Monsterdon
MONSTER CH... oh no wait not quite yet
@wohali Welcome to #FrightNight !
#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.
checks the channel Wait, I didn't intentionally tune to Skinemax...
wow, what are we 13 minutes to tiddy. not a record, but...
That would give me an instant neck-ache. Flexibility and pain resistance are lost on the young! #monsterdon
