Sweater Vampire ambushes them as they visit Amy, then crawls off the roof, where he commands Amy to kill them, which she obeys because she is vampirizing now. But Peter Vincent repels her with a cross because he has faith now.

Charlie and Peter run around the house until Sweater Vampire leaps through a window to challenge Peter Vincent to a duel so he can start giggling. But he doesn't have enough faith to repel the big vampire. Oh wait nevermind he does now.

#monsterdon

Chekov's cuckoo clocks! HAH!
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Because the sun rises at exatly 6:00:05 this morning.

#Monsterdon

Ask not for whom the bird goes toot toot

#Monsterdon

checkov's clocks

#monsterdon

#monsterdon He's cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs

@Newpa_Hasai @allanb i'm pretty sure he takes the form of a wolf in the novel? #monsterdon

Goo and sand at the same time? #monsterdon It's like they couldn't decide.

WINDOW, WHAT DID I TELL YOU

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

Sure, the vampire may triumph but he's ruined all the charm of his house #Monsterdon

A scene so nice they showed it thrice!

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Sooooooooooooooooooo!

#monsterdon

How much she loves you? I don't really think you've had time to develop a substantive relationship but okay sweater man

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

The problem of sounding menacing with fake teeth in your mouth...

#Monsterdon

@Violinknitter I mean Amy clearly sucks less as a vampire so there's a chance

#Monsterdon

Me: "Wait, when did Amy become a redhead?"

Katie: "Maybe that's what he meant when he said 'she's worse'?"

BRUTAL

#monsterdon

Maybe his gun had a coolant leak. #monsterdon

Vampirism: The magical Hair Growth formula #monsterdon

The intermittent effectiveness of holy symbols is bugging the shit out of me.

#monsterdon #frightnight

He's eating a slice of apple with a fork with the bendy side of the tines up. Evil. #monsterdon

You know you're a vampire when your hair is suddenly way better than it was before

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

"Kill dem...BOOwwwWWFF!"

Bossy asshole. She ain't even all the way turnt yet!

#Monsterdon

Ooh. That’s a gooier vampire than I’ve seen. #Monsterdon

Man. This film was obnoxious for the first hour and PERFECT for the last forty five minutes. #Monsterdon

I feel like this movie is trying pretty hard to turn into an actual horror film in its last 15-20 minutes!

#monsterdon

That was FANTASTIC

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

He should check his washer fluid, too.

#Monsterdon

THAT IS GOOD MELT.

#monsterdon

WTF? He's filled with the Reagent? What the fuck.
Okay so the first half of this movie is kinda garbage but all the monster stuff is fucking amazing.
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

@bunnyhero Where did you pick that up? I did a lot of reading about the mythology, never heard that

#monsterdon

I hope folks are seeing why this is one of my favorite Halloween movies of all time

#monsterdon

wtff he turned into guacamole?
#Monsterdon

Is the Ark of the Covenant in the house

#Monsterdon

Whoops, he sprung a leak. Wait, so was he a vampire or not? #Monsterdon

80s movies LOVED goo

#monsterdon

#monsterdon He got wet…

Everyone knows momentum works like diseases, you can inoculate yourself against the force of a bullet by getting shot repeatedly

#Monsterdon

That's the great thing about a stake through the heart, it kills non-vampires too

#monsterdon #frightnight

😬 gun face

#Monsterdon

Yeah, I don't think the gun is gonna work dude...
#Monsterdon

Now even the pistol produces a fogbank of dry ice

#Monsterdon

Got any silver bullets, Pete? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon See, Renfield didn't need brains anyhow…

Randomly excellent wolf transformation scene in the middle of this vampire movie. 10/10 would give an Oscar.

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

this is a fairly economical fog effect. Figure that's what, half a dozen machines? One or two for the diffuse fog and then the rest on the house edges to form curtains.

#Monsterdon

@msh
Actually pretty good effects for 1985. Good makeup work.

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe @Lazarou But wait...there's MORE! #Monsterdon

There's also the option where Charlie lets Amy turn him and they go have happy vampire adventures together

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985 "So far, everything has been just like in the movies. Now we just have to keep hoping." Is this also a proto-Scream?

making the house look like a carnival haunted mansion was such a great choice

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon They should take some of these movies and put more sensible sound effects in them , Kind of like when Ted Turner went nuts colorizing films, but in this case an improvement. #FrightNight1985

Was that door even locked?

#Monsterdon

@blueemu @Lazarou Money well spent! #Monsterdon

if i were the Cushing knock off, I would be hecking off for a spot of tea about now
#Monsterdon

Dry ice overkill next door #Monsterdon

That tweaky-vampire-werewolf-extended-death scene was something else really #Monsterdon

Girlfriend has teeth. Charlie: Lifts her face to his neck.

I wanna smack the boy with a rolled up newspaper.

#monsterdon

Back in the clock warehouse, Sweater Vampire dumps Charlie in the room with Amy, gives him a stake and says that he'll need it in the morning. Charlie realizes that she's a vampire now and shouts "no!" like Darth Vader.

#monsterdon

@himbovoorhees Were any straight actors involved with this movie? 🤔

#monsterdon

omg love the over the top fog on the house

#Monsterdon

Boss I think the fog machine is on the fritz again

#Monsterdon

"Er. Hm. I'll deal with this later."

#Monsterdon

@pngwen We’re not talking about the age gap here.

#Monsterdon

That was supposed to be sympathetic.

To make you feel sorry for Ed.

… too bad it went all the way to gratuitous.

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

That is a dangerous amount of dry ice to store in your attic!

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

NOOOO!! MY GIRLFRIEND IS NOW 100 TIMES COOLER NOOOOOOOO!

#monsterdon #frightnight

Amy - we have to get you to an Orthodontist

#monsterdon

So after being stabbed in his wolf form, vampire nerd mutates back into a special effect makeup vampire form and tries to pull the stake out (the practical effect is really neat), but then fails and turns back into a dying bloody naked nerd.

Peter Vincent's watches with horrified pity, a great reaction.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
#FrightNight

Well.
I did NOT have demonic vampire werewolf on my bingo card.

Billy Cole hits a home run!

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

I respect this movie's body count

#Monsterdon

For those who are curious, I believe some versions of the vampire lore do allow for transformation into wolves as well as bats and a misty form.

#Monsterdon

Oh well

#Monsterdon

That was a long death scene
#monsterdon

Why was Evil wearing a raggedy Anne wig, and how did Vincent not see that? #monsterdon

@cd0 AAAHAHA #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe wow it really is

1/1 feels so right for this too, after all that whimpering

#Monsterdon

Great SFX scene here. That makeup takes HOURS #monsterdon

If anyone was wondering, yes, Ed’s actor is actually gay. Thus the gay theater kid vibes.

#monsterdon

Now he's Master Splinter?!🤣
#Monsterdon

Creepy special effects here #Monsterdon

oh that was a good transformation.

#monsterdon

Yes, that was fucked-up. It's the product of a fucked-up society.

…which makes me wonder what kind of horror-movies (or equivalents) the United Federation of Planets, or The Culture, produce. Maybe they're all historicals, and are mostly about jobs and our primitive 'medicine'.

#monsterdon
#FrightNight

"Does the dog die" Well that's an interesting philosophical question, actually. #Monsterdon

Werewolves can be killed with silver bullets and chandeliers.

#Monsterdon

oh! all the money in this film went to the dog!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
He can transform into a wolf? Neat.
Oops, he's dead

Did you know the vampires are also wolves

#Monsterdon

oh no his mom is working nights, that must mean-- oh she's literally working the night shift, never mind

#monsterdon

This effects work...my god.

Still so good.

#Monsterdon

Got a #MonstersonBingo on wall phones #Monsterdon #FrightNight1985 #Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

OK I like THIS Edward vampire much better than the more famous one he's having so much fun! #Monsterdon

aw, not the good boy!

#monsterdon

nice doggyyyyyyyyyyyyy

:ablobfoxbongo:

#Monsterdon

Oh that shirt is way more evil. Why does it have buttons on the sides of the chest? Is it for nursing? #monsterdon

I take back anything I ever said about Evil being less evil as a vampire

#Monsterdon

They hired this kid for the size of his tongue
#monsterdon

#monsterdon Great, you killed an occasional table. Great.

Jer and Billy walked so Nandor and Guillermo could run

#monsterdon

Peter Vincent points a cross at the Sweater Vampire but the Sweater Vampire crushes it, saying it doesn't work because he doesn't have faith, even if the cross worked on the vampire nerd already. Hmmm... Maybe that was because the vampire nerd had faith in the cross?

#monsterdon
