Ooh. Crushing the cross! #Monsterdon

And Roddy McDowell does the only rational thing.

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

@diazona @ManWithPez @floatybirb Yes, there is a novelization of this movie and there's a whole podcast episode about it, discussing the movie and the novelization! It's great (the podcast episode). https://podtail.com/en/podcast/authorized-novelizations-podcast/fright-night-by-john-skipp-and-craig-spector-w-bj-/ #Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Okay, *faith*. I guess. But then why was Evil affected?

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

can we kick vampires in the baws?
science needs answers
#Monsterdon

so wait he had faith before he knew vampires were real, but not-faith after seeing the effectiveness of a crucifix on a vampire?

sure, let's just fuckin' brush past that I guess, it wouldn't be an interesting character moment to motivate ahead of time

#Monsterdon

I don't think that jewelry suits him, I don't care if it's for "protection". #monsterdon

That'll teach him to bring a chocolate cross

#Monsterdon

also, chris's shirt is amazing. what the hell are all those snaps?

#monsterdon

How many times have they mentioned the title of this movie, in this movie?

#monsterdon

Ok, y’all, is that stained glass window going to make it through the movie???

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Fingers so long he makes all the young boys bottoms pucker.

ooh i like/hate the fingernail on the bannister

#monsterdon

Yeah, to be honest Peter should've been the main character. He's much more interesting than Chuck. #Monsterdon

With the coat and the vest and all the dapperness he looks like he's got a big sewing box and he's here to MAKE A MENDS

AAHhahahahahaAHAHahah

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

He's gonna say it... he's gonna say it!

#Monsterdon

Short of a remarkable plot twist this looks like a strenuous 30 remaining minutes in this thing.

#Monsterdon #frightnight1985

I BELIEVE IN YOU PETER!

#monsterdon

"you don't have to do this"

i'm sorry!?!?!?!? how long did you just spend trying to convince him to do this?

#monsterdon

Thank goodness that scene is over.
#Monsterdon

@paco To vampire's, everyone's jail bait.....#monsterdon

@ManWithPez @floatybirb wait was there a novelization of *this* movie?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon The Synth and guitar reach the apex of their crescendo in a sensual 1980's gas-ballad. The Foley artist bites into a thick stalk of Celery.

Amy is terrible at relationships first a dweeby guy obsessed with vampires then an actual vampire and then those losers living next door to the Bundy's #Monsterdon

consent is dubious because of the age difference and, uh, supernatural powers, but honestly this would have been my teenage self's ideal deflowering scenario, ngl. top 10 at the very least.

#monsterdon

Well that was her shoulde...

#Monsterdon

and he is a messy eater. do not let this vamp eat anything in your bed ever
#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe She must be a kind of long-term McGuffin or something

#monsterdon

Amy got a significant wardrobe upgrade after getting captured

so, y'know, silver lining right there

#Monsterdon

okay but they won me back with the crescendo for the bite that was a pretty sick musical sting

anyway, I WARNED YOU CHARLIE, I *told* you the vampire was going to fuck your girlfriend

#Monsterdon

sloppy fucker, isn't he?

#monsterdon #FrightNight1985

Okay once again I am confused about what exactly Amy's motivation is through *any* of this film. #Monsterdon

pls sneeze on him Amy
or fart
anything to leave this scene
#Monsterdon

Oh look it is the standard trope of the portrait that looks like a living person.

#Monsterdon

Amy's got one romantic move, Unholster The Girls. #Monsterdon

The horrific creepiness of a who knows how many centuries ancient vampire trying to get freaking with a highschooler is slightly undercut by the actress being almost 30.
#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

God I hate this

#monsterdon

Vampire: “I killed you too quickly the last time; a mistake I don’t mean to duplicate tonight.”

#Monsterdon

Cue "Girl, you'll be a woman soon" #Monsterdon

Trading company based in Chatsworth, California, USA, and founded in 1967, later in Camarillo, California. Originally I believe the company was mostly occupied with distributing hi-fi and radio products (via mail order ?) but in the latter half of the 70's it started marketing products under their own Vector Research brand, these were noticeably better than most such branding exercises especially in the first few years, in particular the Kyocera sourced CD players and cassette recorders, video recorders sourced from NEC (by far the best OEMsupplier of such at the time) and the receivers which were sourced from the Japanese and Taiwanese factories that at the same time were supplying Rotel and NAD with their USA models, these receiver models usually not sold in Europe, and these are the exact same units as provided by the aforementioned companies except for the front facia.

Noticeably VR was selling the receivers at lower prices than the competition and thus gained something of a reputation as a supplier of quality budget hi-fi, but the company was by no means tied to the low end, the most expensive receiver model from the company at the time retailed for around 1000 USD, the loudspeakers and record players from the company were disappointing however. The company was almost exclusively distributed in the southern part of the USA although for a time their products were sold as far away as Australia but notably the company did only own the trademark rights to VR in the US, the quality of their products also took a downturn in the latter half of the 80's in tune with the market and the last products I have been able to find stamped with the VR brand were an inexpensive sub/satellite combination from the early 90's. Getting accurate information on the company itself has not been without problems but it does appear to have gone out of business in 1992/3, however the Vector Research trademark was transferred to a company of the same name and a very similar address to the last one that Damark had at that time but no products manufactured under the VR name have been found that have been attributed to the latter company and last traces of it disappear from official documentation in 2004.

#monsterdon painting of Lenore from Corman's "The Raven" makes a surprise appearance.

I feel like with dude messing up 2 bouncers and chasing everyone out of a busy nightclub in Full Vampire Mode maybe more than a few people are gonna believe you now Charlie maybe leave Mr Vincent alone #Monsterdon

Bleugh. This girl is like sixteen, bitchass vampire. #Monsterdon

So what if he was paid to be there. Vampire work is work. #monsterdon

"Do you like Phil Collins"?
-- Jerry, probably

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

@ohiofi Why does he have vaseline on his front tooth? (no, you know what?! I don't want to know!) #Monsterdon

love those big old 80s music centres......hey what the fuck?

How did she get into that dress?

#Monsterdon

What is she no longer seduced from the previous seduction scene, so we gotta do it again?

#monsterdon #frightnight

#monsterdon Amy, you're in the house of heavenly peas. You'll love it.

Where did he get the dress?
#Monsterdon

Prince Humperdinck, that's who!
#monsterdon

In the 80's whenever anyone got emotionally vulnerable and admitted to their feelings, this music just started playing in the background, true story

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

Oh ick. #Monsterdon

@ohiofi That and the long line are why they had to come in through the kitchen window. #Monsterdon #FrightNight1985

There it is

There’s the “I’m sorry, Charlie”

#Monsterdon

Roddy McDowall is going to save the day, isn't he?
#Monsterdon

@whiskeysailor I can relate more to Vampires than Cops

#Monsterdon

Sorry Charlie!

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

this has 30 minutes TO GO? this pacing...is draining.

#monsterdon

We got a "sorry Charlie"!

#monsterdon
#FrightNight

@nazokiyoubinbou @jonny This is the difference an hour of movie runtime makes

#Monsterdon

The time has come to act, and act fast.

I'm leaving.

#Monsterdon

Vincent packing to leave town, the first person to do anything that makes any sense at all

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

I feel like there are two classes of #Monsterdon movies, "I can't see how this movie keeps going another half hour," and "How do they wrap this up in five minutes?" #Monsterdon

You see, Jerry is a metaphor for her desire for a an hot, older, mature man, not realizing the danger they may present. As opposed to a childish, idiotic horny guy her age with no rizz.

Because unfortunately her boyfriend is goddamn a Charley Brewster and she should just have higher standards

#monsterdon

Evil's melted forehead is still stuck to that cross
#monsterdon

look I'm surprised their conveniently parked Jeep hadn't been impounded

#monsterdon

#monsterdon
I feel like the vamp kinda blew his cover here..

Okay I like Evil Ed now

#Monsterdon

OK now you're killing bouncers in front of everyone, but you won't kill Charley and end this movie. Makes perfect sense. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Peter, I have a pumpkin! Are you hungry to EAT IT?

Women are portrayed as weak willed, which shows little changed in 80s hollywood

#monsterdon

@Lazarou That’s what happens when I get aroused. That doesn’t happen to you?

#Monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai I _know_ there's fanfic about that

#monsterdon #FrightNight1985

#Monsterdon #FrightNight1985 it's Tech Noir all over again

Well, there goes the neighborhood.

#Monsterdon #FrightNight

said split diopter

I love spotting these

#Monsterdon

do _not_ challenge Chris Sarandon in hand-to-hand combat.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Does Charlie want to see Amy, or does he just want a box of Kleenex and some time in his blasted out closet?

I wouldn't consider any of the stuff you just did polite either, but...
#Monsterdon

80s music is apparently easy to imitate

#monsterdon

the Hunger also has a vampire night club scene because that's where 80s vampires hung out apparently

#Monsterdon

popping the collar? oh she's serious. #monsterdon

This soundtrack is great. This scene is making want to scrub my eyes with sandpaper though. #Monsterdon #FrightNight

The samples are probably Ensoniq Mirage or similar, doesn't sound Akai to me

#monsterdon

Poor Amy, from Charlie to vampire. Girl needs a good boyfriend #monsterdon

yeah, everyone's touchin butts and charlie is nowhere to be seen 😎

#monsterdon

The more we see of Amy as a character the more confused about what I'm supposed to think of her. #Monsterdon

this song has at the very least Yamaha RX7 and Yamaha DX7

#monsterdon

I feel like Roddy had some fun with this movie with the campy performance #Monsterdon

if only the MCs were seniors in college, this could have been less stomach churning.

#monsterdon

The big book of British Smiles. #monsterdon

"Mr. Vincent, you have to try, otherwise they'll never steal this plot device for Three Amigos!!!"

#Monsterdon

This song has a nice sound to it.

#Monsterdon

oh that's what he's doing with that hand.....

#Monsterdon

Did he just lift and spin her by her vagina?

#Monsterdon

who you gonna call?

🎶 VIN-CENT 🎶

#monsterdon

Vampire casts "Hypnotic Dance"

It's very successful

#monsterdon #frightnight

#Monsterdon 🧛🦇 🧛‍♂️🦇 🧛‍♀️ 🦇😱

chris sarandan taught himself a special vampire walk and it is 100% worth it

@flowerpot Apply directly to the forehead! Apply directly to the forehead #WrongCommercial #Monsterdon
