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

"I gotta go study."

Yeah, try not to make so much noise when you 'study' Charlie. #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

Huh, our hero's car is 55% bondo by volume. #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

ya blew it kid

#Monsterdon

NOTHING MOM WE WEREN'T ABOUT TO FUCK

#monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Have sex first, Charlie

#monsterdon

It's called consent you effing douche! #monsterdon

DUMP HIM
#Monsterdon

@plaidtron3000

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

@EmptySet Given the cut to make out time in a clean house, it looks like Evil Ed was sent to a farm upstate.

#Monsterdon

RE: https://mastodon.social/@cd0/115324876629096184

You have no idea how happy it makes me that even one person got this reference. #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)

Always a pleasure to watch Fright Night, even more so with all of my friends here on #Monsterdon. ❤️ Thank you so much for a great evening and I hope everyone has a great week!

@Taweret Thanks for hosting again, and for making such fine 1980s selections!

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

Wow wow wow this end credits track is some kind of thing

#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

I feel like Ed's death scene would not be equalled until Paul Rubens in Buffy the Vampire Slayer #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.”

#Monsterdon

okay, i 100% loved this movie. I'm adopting Peter, he can do whatever he wants for the rest of his life. Chris Sarandon can stay if he promises that he found the scenes with a supposedly teenage character as creepy as the rest of us, but honestly, Charley's mom can give the rest of the cast a valium and they can all go away. the FX guys get to stay tho.

#monsterdon

And the fucking amazing end theme song plays us out.

That was a lot of fun. I actually really like that movie! Plus, you know, great company 😁

Anyway, let's do it again in about a week, yeah?

Goodnight guys!

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

#Monsterdon

So we've done the "killing the sire undoes the vamps he made" thing? Has logical problems...

@CactuarJoe ahem ahem...there's a movie tie-in music video. #Monsterdon

Why so many clocks and how was this not a plot point before? Every hour must be a cacophonous din
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Man, that's a GREAT tease to go out on.

And that's a wrap! Still a fun movie after all these years.

Thanks for the watch party, and to the whole #Monsterdon crew, too.

Cheers, and see y'all next time!

"Let's have gentle vanilla sex!"

The End

#Monsterdon

I dig the ending music :D #Monsterdon

I kinda wish they had brought back the compact mirror. That would been a nice bit of setup-and-payoff, like getting the vamp with a beam of reflected sunlight.

#Monsterdon

Fortunately the writing is terrible. #monsterdon

I love how Amy is like, "Great, we're right back to this distracted-during-boinking boyfriend routine, does nothing change?"

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985 haha love the ending

evil wins

good night everybody <3 :D

We love you, Octaman! #monsterdon

#monsterdon THERE'S OUR BOY (Octaman went on to have a successful film career it seems)

Why is the fearless vampire hunter coming out of a coffin?

I've seen this movie a dozen times and never noticed that weirdness.

Also: OCTOMAN!

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Oh so it's aliens now

#Monsterdon

making out with the tv on, Amy is definitely finding this deeply erotic

#monsterdon

She'll never be Sexy Vampire Willow though charlie, just a regular human girlfriend...with boundaries.

#Monsterdon

OCTAMAN!?!?! #Monsterdon

Ok, as someone who grew up in a house built into the side of a (very little) mountain with half the basement having windows and a sliding glass door and half buried in the ground with no windows this isn't actually unreasonable architecture...

(well assuming you are weirdos like my parents who thought building into the side of a mountain was a good idea)

#Monsterdon

Peak vampire movie tbh #Monsterdon

HOLY SHIT
#monsterdon

#monsterdon Just going to kissyface with the recently infected Charlie? Of course you are. My filthy little whore buddy.

I’m still hoping that there’s a twist ending…

He’s not actually a vampire… there was just a gas leak and all of this was a hallucination… the neighbors are actually just a gay couple

#monsterdon

Poor Amy, lost everything, including her new great hair and ancient lover.
#monsterdon

OCTAMAN!!! #monsterdon #frightnight1985

@moira IKR?! ... nuthin, nevermind #Monsterdon

@saucerlost wow it really is an undead-only style

#Monsterdon

ugh, they gonna bone with Peter on TV aren't they 🥴
#monsterdon

and back to where we started

#monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Demonic Dandrige is set aflame by the purifying rays of daybreak! Amy's hair returns to normal! Peter Vincent discovers that a lifetime of portraying heroism did nothing to prepare him for the real thing, but he found it within himself and in his unlikely partnership with Charley!

#monsterdon
