That is an outfit I'd explore a gargoyle cavern in tbh. A solid, practical heel

Sweaty guy with apparent head injury presenting in the desert with tangential speech and disorientation 🤔🤔🤔#monsterdon #gargoyles1972

But don't the fumes from the dirtbikes make it hard for the dogs to follow the scent?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon ...medieval Europe, kids' cartoon....

@brooke "I can SING"

#monsterdon

They're setting up Cops vs. Gargoyles and having us root for the Gargoyles, right?

#Monsterdon

when she said 'let me go' it would have been funny if the gargoyle had said 'holy shit you can talk?'

#monsterdon

@nhgeek an underutilized genre of porn

#Monsterdon

Book-learnin' gargoyles. Couldn't imagine anything more evil than that. #Monsterdon

Bernie Casey's voice would've been way better than this vocoded Vic Perrin bullshit. #monsterdon #gargoyles72

Horf! What a good horf. Looks very bored.

#Monsterdon #Gargoyles1972

#Monsterdon Gargoyles develop capacity to speak English overnight, because Plot.

Wow, they learned English in the last 5 minutes.

#Monsterdon

This ancient gargoyle cave has some pretty awesome track lighting just off screen.
#Monsterdon

@nev Movie's gonna end with a dance number -- holy shit, they ARE Muppets! #Monsterdon

I fucking love discovering star trek actors in these. This gargoyle was the Maquis captain in DS9 #monsterdon #gargoyles1972

that's the biggest flask i've ever seen

#monsterdon #gargoyles1972

Gargoyle to Diana: "This isn't an abduction. This is an intervention" #monsterdon

I feel a "I wanted to show you some etchings" moment is coming up #monsterdon

i did not foresee literate gargoyles in pursuit of knowledge coming #monsterdon

Scalie monkeys and fishes and now a king of the demons.
Oh... on my. Were they trying to make him 1970s monster fucker bait?
#Monsterdon #Gargoyles #Gargoyles1972

How did she get her halter top so dazzlingly white??

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon
Call the national guard
Smh

Gargoyles have a little fan in front of their vocal cords.

#Monsterdon #Gargoyles

You may remember Bernie Casey as the tragic turncoat Starfleet Captain who turned Maquis in DS9, among a number of wonderful roles. #monsterdon #gargoyles72

So, she's not surprised that they can talk??

#Monsterdon #Gargoyles1972

Actual parents of Sam the Eagle?

#monsterdon #gargoyles1972

He sounds like he's talking through a window fan. #monsterdon #Gargoyles1972

so what about these things makes them gargoyles. so far they are just reptile guys. do they turn into stone in the day or perch on stuff or is there just no lore at all to being a gargoyle #monsterdon

Nice of the gargoyles to let Diana have the run of their cave

#Monsterdon

WAIT THEY TALK?? #Monsterdon

The landlady is the shrink from Dark Shadows! I thought she looked very familiar. I just started the story arc with her in it. #Monsterdon

Gargoyles have not yet invented furniture.

#Monsterdon #Gargoyles1972

It's a redneck Texas parade!!

#Monsterdon

That's the most ragtag search party ever. #Monsterdon

@Taweret I am too lazy to make the arm wrestling meme with baseball players and gargoyles

#Monsterdon

OMG, the Sniffy Sex Pest Gargoyle is Bernie Casey. Now I'm even more upset that they stole his voice and replaced him with the decrepit white narrator guy. #monsterdon #gargoyles72

I wonder how many other movies she's going to run into filming in these caves...

#monsterdon #Gargoyles1972

@ricci @amyfou And gods bless her for it!

#monsterdon #gargoyles1972

@nev neoteny? they all lose their beaks as they get older but they've evolved to keep their beaks into their teen years to make them more adorable

#monsterdon

Grayson Hall's "Miss Kerler", the motel manager:
Scene 3 with drink ✅ ✅✅
...and a bottle!

#Monsterdon 🦖 #Gargoyles1972

#Monsterdon Is that Hueco Tanks?

I also have the best pack of mountain lion dogs in the country.

#Monsterdon

They're not going to kill her. They're rescuing her, doc #monsterdon

#monsterdon lmao empty-arms-hotel lady knows right where the sherriff keeps the whiskey.

49:00 I think they gargoyles are _purring_?

speeding their way to the state whatever at a blazing 5km/h

#monsterdon #gargoyles1972

They take the daughter as a meal or gift?
#monsterdon

The hotel manager permanently holding a glass is a subtle hint she might perhaps have a drinking problem #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Gargoyles have deep affection for each other, regardless of subspecies.

I like the random fur patches on the gargoyles, but would prefer if they were feathers for the full dinosaur vibe. #monsterdon

lolol gargoyle spanking its subordinates. Holy shit. #monsterdon #gargoyles72

Smacking each other on the ass is a big part of gargoyle culture, it’s in the Bible.

#Monsterdon #gargoyles1972

Walking out alone in the dark when you know there are man sized scalie creatures out there looking for one of there own you have? This girl is dumb. But not as bad as her dad.
#Monsterdon #Gargoyles #Gargoyles1972

why do only some of the gargoyles have beaks??

i would page an evo-devo guy on here but if you showed a scientist this their head would explode #Monsterdon

This guy we've never seen before giving us orders. Follow them!

And now everyone saw what happened?

#Monsterdon

@yatsu No kidding

#Monsterdon

I KEEP TELLING YOU THE ONES WITH HALF SHIRTS ARE MINE

#monsterdon

"it's okay, I should be sobered up in about two weeks. hours. two hours."

#monsterdon #gargoyles1972

is the bike gang gonna redeem themselves by rescuing daughter in the end?

#monsterdon

Dammit. The racist scientist is still alive. #Monsterdon

Deep inside the gargoyl-ery.

#monsterdon #Gargoyles1972

see typically when you want to make something in slow motion for the jerky effect you move faster when you shoot the scene #monsterdon

....are the gargoyles purring in slow motion? #monsterdon

did that gargoyle just slap that other gargoyle on the ass??? what am i watching??????? #monsterdon

We can be thankful there's no Gargoyle dialog #monsterdon

You can't barge into a police station with a bottle of whiskey unless you're prepared to share, everybody knows that #monsterdon

Mrs. Gargoyle is jealous. #monsterdon

Man, I love Miss Hannigan. MORE MISS HANNIGAN

#monsterdon

👹 TRIVIA ON THE ROOF 👹

Stan Winston won an Emmy for the make-up here.

He fought hard to get makeup artists recognized for their work. He demanded to be credited in the film. He got that credit, then the Emmy, and thus started the trend to celebrate movie makeup artists that we take for granted today.

#Monsterdon 🦖 #Gargoyles1972

@jonny I guess that's 1972 for ya. #monsterdon

"You've got us. And we've got our bikes!"

Ugh, no. Are we really doing this?

#monsterdon

The cops listening to people they've arrested and acting on it is the most unrealistic thing in this movie yet - and their only acting when a white woman is in danger is the most realistic thing

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon
The gargoyle watching the cave entrance has a mullet

@aprilfollies@mastodon.online Maybe it's modified down feathers?

#Monsterdon #Gargoyles1972

Wait, she didn't see anything?

#Monsterdon

@Taweret What liver? #monsterdon #gargoyles72

Pretty sure gargoyle skin is denim

#monsterdon

Ok turning it up to 2x speed was VERY funny and I highly recommend it for the slowmo scenes #monsterdon #gargoyles1972

Some of these costumes are pretty good, in a stage musical quality way. I half expect a dance number with a lot of jumping around as they sing about Jellical Gargoyles #Monsterdon

SHE IS DRINKING THE COP'S LIQUOR. SHE KNEW WHERE IT WAS. #monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie best actress _and_ best character

#monsterdon #gargoyles1972

Well the poor Gargoyles got their ancestor skull back. But the occult writer gained a whole corpse...
Wait. He even knows that they were after the skull and now the body but he's gonna steal it away to LA? Oh hey 36 minutes till the protagonist becomes unlikeable.
#Monsterdon #Gargoyles #Gargoyles1972

Lol, this character and her always having the same glass. I love this shit.

#monsterdon #gargoyles72

She ran all the way to the police department carrying her whiskey glass. I love her. #Monsterdon

I like the gargoyle costumes. They're vaguely muppety.

#Monsterdon

She's was sober enough to find the police station? #monsterdon

between the grainy shots of actors in monster costumes and the crop tops, this movie must have inspired a good chunk of the CW's early aughts lineup #monsterdon

once again #monsterdon returns to “cave mode”

So where's the motel lady through all this? Did the gargoyles get her too? 😍
#Monsterdon

she knows where the cops keep _their_ booze too, i stan her

#monsterdon #gargoyles1972

@Zerofactorial Be fair, that confused me too #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Gotta love a lady who knows where all the booze is.

@blogdiva Yeah, I am Team Gargoyle here. They're the only characters whose behavior makes any sense.

#Monsterdon

Have another drink, yeah #monsterdon

#monsterdon
I like how all of the gargoyles look different

Oh, they should have stuck with night-time. These costumes don't work as well in the sunlight.

#monsterdon

fluffy winged gargoyle is the first gargoyle-ish monster costume i haven't hated (or thought was decent but simply NOT A GARGOYLE) #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Sigh. Gargoyle is both horned and horny.

♪ Only loooooove, love pads the film ♫ #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe I think that one gargoyle is just trying to make sense of what her outfit was trying to accomplish #monsterdon
