I thought the motel lady said they were getting separate rooms? #monsterdon

What's with the nexgen nuclear reactor in the bedroom? #monsterdon #gargoyles72

#Monsterdon you know when I’m being chased by gargoyles after escaping a burning barn and letting a man die by flame I remember to grab the skull that is most definitely not mine to take and not an hour ago I believed was a hoax skeleton.

Were headphones not invented in 1972? #Monsterdon

another unskippable ad break after like 12 minutes, I guess Plex is going for the authentic tv movie experience #monsterdon

okay, thank you

#monsterdon

Yes!! You fucking do!
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Thanks for the PTSD, Dad. Gonna write about that in your book? (eyeroll)

@brucetheknife Maybe we should have a poll on the total number #monsterdon

Okay finished Doctor Who S14, now to join in on #monsterdon (I will probably not be doing much in the way of commentary this week though)

You don't want to come drink with me and succumb to my motel wiles? Well, WHAT IF I tell you about this guy who recently died here, huh?!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon
Why's this motel owner so cunty I love her

#Monsterdon Dude, invest in some earphones!

I think this thirsty motel lady may be more dangerous than the gargoyle thing #Monsterdon

"i can imagine how he felt." okay, this movie gets some points from me. #monsterdon

@Zerofactorial yes, it was impressive. I’m sure there be more to shriek about. #Monsterdon

She’s just putting it out there. More power to you, motel lady. #Monsterdon

Maybe they can whip up some Goat's Head Soup for supper tonight #monsterdon

@SnoopJ it's giving tune yards bird brains tape recorder era #monsterdon

Aw man, are we gonna have to suffer through the horny hotel owner this whole time :/ #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon We get a lot of wrecks on this road, but the worst ones are the mahnsters. Well, have a good nice's sleep. (/Bugs Bunny voice)

That poor station wagon didn't deserve that treatment. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Creepy museum. Creepy gas station. Creepy hotel. This movie has everything!

(I may be behind or ahead a little, I'm pausing off and on for other stuff and skipping around #Monsterdon)

"...was anyone killed?"
"No, well ... not in the wreck at least."
"What?"
"Oh nothing..."

#Monsterdon #Gargoyles

i love this neon!

#monsterdon

damn, ma'am, is this the first man you've ever seen? back off. #monsterdon

Check out time is whenever the monsters let you leave. #monsterdon

AH! Old harbinger jump scare!
Why doesn't he have an old prospector accent?
#Monsterdon #Gargoyles

@apLundell Pretty sure I heard that on Car Talk, checks out

#Monsterdon

He’s explaining too much. Seems guilty of something like, oh I don’t know… MURDER? #Monsterdon

Welcome to the Sleep Tight Motel, where the sheets are clean and the screams are free. #monsterdon

HOLY CRAP IT"S JULIA FROM DARK SHADOWS.

#monsterdon #Gargoyles1972

they are planning to report that old guy's death to someone tho right?

#monsterdon

Wait, the Cactus Hotel needs a background check??

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon
Cactus motel
I'm fucking dead lmao

#Monsterdon “What happened to you?”

The sample’s previous owners put in a strong claim for possession.

NEVER TAKE THE CREEPY SKULL WITH YOU #Monsterdon

Yeah running off the road normally produces obvious claw marks in your roof

#Monsterdon

Damage on roof, "ran off the road in the dark"

Seems legit

#monsterdon

the exhaust from this car! the 70s were somethin else #monsterdon

"The damn car won't start!"

#monsterdon #gargoyles1972

Neee-ee-eon
Neeon likes it buzzy

#monsterdon #gargoyles1972

The Cactus hotel has a vacancy???

What are the odds????

#Monsterdon

@trixter Heard us talking about drain pipes #Monsterdon

If you're cold, your gargoyle skull is cold too. Don't forget to wrap it up.

#Monsterdon #Gargoyles

I want to see this movie!
Or cold beer.
#Monsterdon #Gargoyles

@CactuarJoe big "Big Lebowski suitcase scene" vibes #monsterdon #gargoyles1972

What the fuck he need a jack for? #Monsterdon

I don't know why Tubi decided I needed an ad for Hims about erectile dysfunction treatment but okay. #monsterdon

It's fine. That'll buff out.

#monsterdon #Gargoyles1972

@lytta no, you did not. #Monsterdon

Fun fact: old bones have a smell. It's disturbingly comforting if you're nostalgic for dusty basements.

Source: access to a university anthro lab & storing cold case bones in the security office closet (back in the day). I can smell that smell in my brain right now.

[all the doors fall off]

#monsterdon #gargoyles1972

@Louisa reminded me of breath of the wild monster fighting music #monsterdon

Anyways this monster chase scene's soundtrack is unconformably similar to one of the ringtones on my mobile #Monsterdon

If you had proper differentials for dirt road driving, you'd have had much better performance in escaping the living devils.

Valuable knowledge.

#monsterdon #gargoyles72

Is this a road trip movie? Or just a normal 70s flick that films every time characters are in cars. When can I expect to see the wood paneled interior of a sheriff's office?
#Monsterdon #Gargoyles

Ah yes, all 3 gasolines: leaded, unleaded, and cheez whiz

#monsterdon

might wanna get your car's suspension checked out, doc

#monsterdon

S after making a big deal about stopping to flip the tape, when they played back they don't have to flip the tape? #monsterdon

@Taweret@octodon.social Give them a minute, it's 45 miles to the nearest phone that isn't on fire!

#Monsterdon #Gargoyles1972

#monsterdon
This actress has already had major close up screams twice. She better have gotten PAID

#Monsterdon Diana is afraid of her own screams. Gargoyles screaming back seem much more worrisome.

Gargoyle sitting on the side of the road like, "Shit. That was embarrassing." #Monsterdon

oh, yes, deserted nighttime gas station, we'll be safe here. #monsterdon

Gargoyle: "Are you my Lyft!? I've been waiting for--"

[car starts swerving]

"Hey, man! What's the deal!?"

#monsterdon #Gargoyles1972

I like the up tempo percussion for the car surfing gargoyle

#Monsterdon

CLAWS enter from scene left
#Monsterdon

When furries attack #monsterdon #gargoyles1972

poor wingy guy's just trying to repatriate those remains 👿

#monsterdon

they are planning to report that old guy's death to someone tho right?

#monsterdon

@Taweret On the other hand, it's the 1970s and there's no one to see or know, surveillance and crime scene investigation doesn't much exist #Monsterdon

I really hope they paid this lady a per-scream bonus. She's really got a great horror movie shriek. #Monsterdon

Did a bird attack her as she left the shed?
#Monsterdon

20 minutes to bona fide action, not bad by #Monsterdon standards

It's Harry.

#Monsterdon #Gargoyles1972

Like I know they said "poor old guy" but they seem rather unconcerned with the fate of weird old Willie like maybe you should call emergency services or something? #Monsterdon

Love the screming tires on a dirt road!
#monsterdon

I’m glad this movie got back to its core strength: driving sequences. #monsterdon

Why is your car on fire #monsterdon #gargoyles1972

OH GOD IT'S AIRPORT JAZZ RUN RUN FOR YOUR LIVES

#monsterdon #gargoyles1972

Gargoyle teens love to hood surf.

#Monsterdon #Gargoyles

The eagles! They're going to take you to Isengard! #monsterdon #gargoyles72

Did not expect fur on gargoyles, where did this lore come from

#Monsterdon

We can't stop here! This is bat country! #Monsterdon

oh come on, that is *clearly* a yeti claw #monsterdon

don't worry, the intrepid donkey will save them from this shack fire #monsterdon

Now I'm feeling nostalgic about chunky old tape recorders. #monsterdon

"5000 Years of Demonology" will be a best seller for Christmas!
#Monsterdon #Gargoyles

unexpectedly high fidelity on the tape recorder but only for the scream

#monsterdon #gargoyles1972

I will say, that was a good scream. #Monsterdon

Whoops, switched to a car immobilized on a soundstage, get ready for a jumpscare. #Monsterdon

I think the wagon's burnin' some devil oil.

#Monsterdon #Gargoyles

@ottaross That skeleton must have been drinking #monsterdon

did... did that tape recorder just record her turning the tape over??? #monsterdon

you have to fit in emotional beats into like 7.5 minute chunks on tv and so we have to jerk wildly between uncle willy being exploded and literally listening to a tape recorder so we can ramp back up before the next ad break #monsterdon

Whose idea was it to store barrels of kerosene in the same shed as dry-ass animal remains

#Monsterdon

@jchaven I'd call 150 proof on that mushroom cloud he made burning up, unless he was packing a tactical nuke #Monsterdon

Just drivin' away from a burning shed where a guy just died, like you do

#Monsterdon

You grabbed the tape recorder but left a goddamn dead body behind, no biggie #monsterdon
