#monsterdon #gargoyles1972

Coming in late to #monsterdon what did I miss? :D

#monsterdon #gargoyles "Oh hi, it's me, Satan. You'll probably be seeing some of my offspring later in the film but in the meantime feel free to sit down and have a beer"

donkey sighting! #monsterdon

OMG "Uncle Willy" has something to show them!

RUN!!!!!!

#Monsterdon

@jsadow@c18.masto.host ah heck, now I have to check doesthedonkeydie.com

#Monsterdon #Gargoyles1972

Why are you leaving the free beer behind? #monsterdon #gargoyles72

don't tap on the poor snake's glass, kid >:( #monsterdon

Belt and suspenders man is a touch of authenticity that keeps the movie grounded. He's an extremely specific type of Guy!

#Monsterdon

@lorgonumputz this might just be a thing from the cartoon that got super ubiquitous but i have this notion that gargoyles OBVIOUSLY turn to stone during the day #monsterdon

what is tourist trap grandpa's accent? #monsterdon

Please do not drink and drive.

#Monsterdon #Gargoyles1972

where you uh

"teach"

yeah i understand teaching is only a rumour for you i get it do you have something to show the man or not?

#monsterdon #gargoyles1972

Typo for "dessert fish" #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Child, don't poke the snek.

#Monsterdon Academic researcher recognized by random individual. If only.

snek 🐍

#Monsterdon

Nice red hat

#monsterdon

I'd love to take a road trip and just visit different weird roadside attractions #monsterdon

Ahhh, the Cold Beer trap. Works every time... #monsterdon

AW HELL, it's Red Green :/ #Monsterdon

I used to live in Arizona, this "museum" is very familiar

#Monsterdon

Nice murder shack here. #Monsterdon

Weekly phone call with my mom ran long, so just flipping on the movie now (6:07PM PDT)

Do I skip forward or just ignore the feed?

Currently there is an intro with paintings and still photos with narration.

#Monsterdon

Willie has a nice ass. #Monsterdon

scariest thing in that store is all the black mould

#monsterdon #gargoyles1972

#Monsterdon Snake den! Desert Fish! Biggest Ball of Twine!

i want that skull near the door, THAT is style. #monsterdon

❓🐴 #monsterdon #gargoyles1972

Missed a chance to ask the flying creature for directions #monsterdon

Oooh ominous wing shadow within the first 10 minutes, this is promising

#Monsterdon

Uncle Willy's been eaten by Graboids. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon we'll double back about 5 miles.... unless we get killed by this ominous shadow

okay it's being implied by the ominous shadow in bright daylight that gargoyles, which are demons and not cool living grotesques, can go out in the sun #monsterdon

GARG OYLE

#KnuckleTats #Monsterdon

@aprilfollies Same! The 70's were a weird time apparently

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Should’ve made that left turn at Albuquerque.

I love that like 4 different people just made a Manos/Torgo joke #monsterdon #gargoyles1972

"Dad, are we there yet?" takes on a whole new meaning when "there" is a spooky desert. Just a few more hours, honey. We need to find the plot first. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Was that somebody’s knee in the backseat?

Nyeh, musta taken a wrong turn at Albaquirky #Monsterdon

That’s not doubling back. #Monsterdon

“I sure would hate to get stuck out here in the dark”

Never heard that one before. 😂 #Monsterdon

The real gargoyles live in the desert to avoid being mistaken for downspouts.

#Monsterdon #Gargoyles

@forestine i'm at 2x speed in the station wagon scenes and i can't imagine doing it any slower #monsterdon

"the hands of fate, everyone"

#monsterdon #gargoyles1972

Could be dark any second, now that it is noon...

#Monsterdon

Just don't follow the sign pointing to "Nilbog". #monsterdon

You took a wrong turn. That’s lost. #monsterdon

"My sexy pictures?" 👀

Oh. She's a photographer. I get it. #monsterdon

and gargoyle poop not be visited back upon me times three #monsterdon

"Manos."

#monsterdon #gargoyles1972

loving that cyan colored dress

#monsterdon

is there... a guy in a hoodie in his trunk? i thought this was a demon movie, not a common everyday slasher movie. #monsterdon

@wohali Once again proving that mankind's ACTUAL most ancient enemy is horseradish. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “You were the cool intellectual, as always.” What daughter talks to her dad like that?? Are we sure she’s not possessed?

@socketwench Gotta space 'em out a bit, leave some to be eaten later in the movie.

#Monsterdon

I mean, I'd read thid dude's demonology book. But I'm a huge nerd.
#Monsterdon

Ah, the desert. Nature's way of saying, "You took a wrong turn at Tucson." #monsterdon

Collection of demons? Oh so this guy's a real otaku #monsterdon

Lot of exposition being packed into this car journey. #monsterdon

oh good, a protagonist who goes on tv to troll Wiccans, I hope the gargoyle poops on his head #monsterdon

@ricci I remember watching my dad take his bowie knife off his belt & running it through airport security in the 80s. Wild.
#Monsterdon

[vaguely ominous orchestral accent]

These subtitles are great too #monsterdon #gargoyles1972

Hey there’s a guy in a hoodie behind the driver. First scary thing in this movie.

#monsterdon #gargoyles1972

Calimudri, huh. You guys had access to the WHOLE Lesser Key of Solomon and you still had to invent something that sounds like a seafood lunch, huh. #Monsterdon

anybody know if this was a failed pilot like a lot of these movies?

#monsterdon #gargoyles1972

Blood colored station wagon -- also excellent.

#Monsterdon

that car is sure something

#monsterdon

How long until we want all of these people eaten by the monster, #monsterdon ?

Aw, he has demon Funko Pops #Monsterdon

Oooh the dude collects demons! Conveniently, they're all petrified and unable to come back to life.

#Monsterdon #Gargoyles1972

So dad collects demoniac action figures? Well, I gues its not the strangest of things to collect.
#monsterdon

This man collects demons? Like what did he really expect to come of this hobby?

#Monsterdon

Do I get college credit for this film? #monsterdon

that is this guy's crowning D&D minuature collector's item. good for him. #monsterdon

those letters were HOT

#monsterdon

i like my calamudre extra spicy and with reduced cheese sauce

#monsterdon #gargoyles1972

What fucking airlines were still flying DC7s in 1972? I call bullshit.

#monsterdon #gargoyles72

It's not Texas!

#monsterdon

I will not info dump about how complex pressurized plan doors are...
#Monsterdon

Just imagine, airports were once like this. You could just walk up to the chain link fence to pick your family up. Spooky.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Title stealing from “Goosebumps” font. *

*Yes, I know which came first. Still, it’s uncanny.

#monsterdon
goosebumps font: check
dramatic music swell: check
a bunch of actors i've never heard of: check
i've missed this so much y'all /genuine

Roger Gimbel, he's great when you want to swivel but remain steady. #Monsterdon

I love those old station wagons. #Monsterdon

Would someone please clean the gosh darn credits, geeze! #monsterdon

Classic drippy letter horror font
#monsterdon

@starkraving666 holy shit, you are my hero of the day. #Monsterdon

Please feel free to claim and use a Sainthood Title in the #CultOfRamenCatholicism.

Note: you are responsible for remembering this, as I am far too lazy to record this shit somewhere.

Loving this font #monsterdon #gargoyles1972

Hey it’s the Chronic Town cover.

Is any of this gargoyle mythology from anything?

#Monsterdon #gargoyles1972

I like the Halloween font on the titles. #monsterdon

Got home just in time for #Monsterdon. We're off to a great sta—wait, "my offspring, the gargoyles"?

And here we go. I can’t say that a cold open of exposition voiceover is a great start.

And going with the GooseBumps font was definitely a choice. #monsterdon

https://nedroid.com/?257 #monsterdon

Gargoyles are man's most ancient adversary? I would've thought entropy was man's most ancient enemy. #monsterdon #gargoyles72

lmao okay from that narration to the title card with the green drippy letters

this rules already

#monsterdon

Drippy font! Promising! #Monsterdon

I thought gargoyles are supposed to protect people from demons, not be demons? #monsterdon

this doesn't look like the wilde wilde west to me

#monsterdon #gargoyles1972
