HA HA HA HA HA

i'm sorry that cut was just too perfect :D

*smiling woman*

*sam thrown thru door*

That was great :D

#Monsterdon

"Sorry, just had to put my tentacles away."

#Monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness

She died as she lived

sick of reading Sutter Cane

#Monsterdon

"Something came leaking out!"

Yeah, there's drugs you can take for that now. #Monsterdon

Carpenter was a guest host/programmer on TCM earlier this summer. Just a few weeks back I think. He looks old, but he's still sharp and will talk movies forever. Some great segments. #monsterdon

Sam Neill is the only guy who can get away with wearing a button down shirt and a blazer and jeans with the top button all buttoned up #monsterdon

i swear this movie is just Carpenter fellating King's ego.

#Monsterdon

[looking in the window of an antique store]

"This old crap. Wonder where they manufacture this shit."

In the past, Sam.

#Monsterdon

Oh hey, they made it to Hobb's End. Their journey is now completed, and they can find Sutter Cane.

All of these are good things that the heroes can look forward to.

#Monsterdon

Is this David Lynch Lost Highway?

#monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness1994

SUTTER CANE'S
SIT BY ME

#Monsterdon

He rearranges the letters and it spells...
S - U - T - T - E - R - C - A - N - E

😳

#monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness1994

New Hampshire, not Maine! He's not Stephen King! #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Oh so this is the winter of discontent everyone talks about

#Monsterdon

THE WRITER OF ALL THINGS OBSERVES YOU, SAM

#Monsterdon

Books on tape? Madness!

#Monsterdon

Aww, riots at book stores because of stock shortfalls? Something about that feels charming, nostalgic even.

#monsterdon

I WANNA BE
YOUR SLEDGEHAMMER

#Monsterdon

Ha ha ha I thought there was going to be a character named "Arcane". Like what is this, Swamp Thing?

#Monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness

If this were the Muppet version of In the Mouth of Madness this guy would be Kermit. #Monsterdon

oh my god i thought i was gonna have to listen to metallica.

thankfully not

#monsterdon

Thank you all for the fun time and thank you @Taweret for hosting, and @miru for the stream and

thank you to the Old Ones for writing me this way :D

#Monsterdon

This glitchy DVD menu thing is cool

Awww, RIP Sam Neill

#Monsterdon #Miru

Like, I feel like it could've been MORE about writing, about what happens when a writer gets off the chain and starts spinning nonsensical stuff that really DOES start to affect people. There was space there for like, God as the editor he kills. Iunno, it's a good premise but I don't feel like they really took it where it needed to go.

#Monsterdon

THANK YOU #MONSTERDON, GOODNIGHT! 🎸🥁⚡

Seriously though, thanks as always to the eldritch entity @Taweret for hosting, and to the Monsterdon crew for helping me tape my Sutter Cane book covers back together.

I'm going to sell them to Cthulhu's nostalgic kids someday 🐙

I do love how people will bemoan that city folk think that milk comes from a grocery store (not a cow). And yet in movies when everyone dies the power stays on because laypeople think that electricity comes from the outlet.
#monsterdon

Thanks for the company #monsterdon ers. I haven't seen an anncouncement for #mondayactionmovie yet but there will be something. If I have to show Stone Cold again, there will be something.....Take care. See ya soon.

#monsterdon That's that! Thank you, all for your amazing jokes and commentary! And thanks to @Taweret! I didn't make use of @miru's stream, but as always, please give a thought to #MutualAid when you can.

Surprisingly bloodless ending. I was expecting tentacle death. Ah well.

As the brains melt slowly in the distance, we thank John Carpenter for painting everything blue. And as always you have one last thing to do before leaving the theater:

Was IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS (1994) the WORST #Monsterdon movie of the year?

Similar vibes when Phantom Menace came out.

#Monsterdon

Awww, classic Sam Neil going mad!

Brilliant stuff!

#Monsterdon

Sorry Trent, you still gotta draw up plans for a spaceship

#Monsterdon

SUTTER CANE'S
YEP

#Monsterdon

Do YOU read Sutter Cane?

#Monsterdon

Sam Neill REALLY needed to calm the fuck down #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe OOOOF

#Monsterdon

SUTTER CANE'S
EVENT DATELINE

#Monsterdon

I do like how more manic Sam Neil becomes scene by scene now...

#Monsterdon

ROBOT MONSTER! Hey :D #Monsterdon

"yawning blackly" jesus christ

#Monsterdon

Is it just me, or does anyone else kinda want to read Sutter Cane's new novel?

#Monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness

And just like King, he refused to work with his editor -_-;

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe THIS EPISODE WAS BADLY WRITTEN

#Monsterdon

Sam is all of us

#Monsterdon

If you're wondering what the fuck is going on… yeah, that's the point kinda.

#Monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness

oh no the Thing escaped Antarctica!

#Monsterdon

IN THE BASEMENT OF MADNESS

#Monsterdon

This is how I view most children...

#Monsterdon

See that's what's wrong with modern churches. Not enough flaming torches.
#monsterdon

@trixter it's fine? dunno why people get up about it.

#Monsterdon

Sam Neill's accent really threatening to come out at points here, not that it's buried particularly deep in most of this movie

I don't mind it at all, he's a convincing character and where he's from does not matter in the slightest compared to his insistent denial.

#Monsterdon

Getting mauled by a doberman to own the libs

#monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness1994

Those dogs do not have the body language of creatures attacking. They look like they're having fun!

#monsterdon

Puppies! #Monsterdon

the fact that this church has a massive stone edifice and is also in the middle of nowhere, standing separate even from the rest of Hobb's End

is so good.

it is Wrong and you know this intuitively when you watch the movie

#Monsterdon

SUTTER CANE'S
BOSTON'S PARKING LOT

#Monsterdon

So you think Sutter Cane is drunk off his ass too? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon actual decent movie so far

Oh ye gods, I made like four posts with a Wikipedia link instead of hashtags. The Owlbear is clearly wide awake.

#Monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness

"Cute, cute, cute. Main Street, USA."

(This was filmed in Markham, Ontario!)

#monsterdon

KUJO

#Monsterdon

That cycling kid is definitely from a Stephen King novel.

#Monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness1994

Never mind, reality's just breaking down in front of us, it's cool. #Monsterdon

(Yes I know lots of the sorts of people who would be on Mastodon read plenty but it's not the mainstream normie behavior it used to be. The market is not what it was.)

#Monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness

Ah, collage, the SANE man's art form! #Monsterdon

SUTTER CANE'S
MIC STAND

#Monsterdon

@jsadow yeah but it's funny that Stephen King exists as a separate character in the movie too

#Monsterdon #MouthOfMadness94

Watching someone else reading always makes for thrilling cinema. #Monsterdon

Everyone remembers the hula hoop craze

#Monsterdon

Stop kabedonning that woman Sam -_- #Monsterdon

*trips over that lampshade*

RE: https://retro.pizza/@trixter/117068559558112470

Reminder that the original parts of the soundtrack are by John Carpenter! Pretty much all of his movies are Like This when it comes to the soundtrack, so if you like this…

#Monsterdon

"Do you read sutter cane"

now that's some viral marketing!

#Monsterdon

Deliberately not looking at the window... #Monsterdon

oh lawd he comin'

#Monsterdon

Where's the ska?!

#monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness1994

Truly remarkable how that "single black crayon" could write on padded walls, a fabric hospital gown, and his face. Must be a magic crayon in both properties and amount of wax.

#Monsterdon

how would you recognise an outbreak of mass insanity in the USA now?

#Monsterdon

Getting a lot of mileage out of that crayon

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe they may drive you crazy but even they know not to leave you in the care of 80's psychiatric medicine.

#Monsterdon

I think it's safe to say the Madness has made its appearance!

#Monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness

lol "not the carpenters too"

This is great

#Monsterdon

Heck yeah David Warner

#Monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness

I ordered a copy of the novelization (the local library does not have a copy, but maybe they will when I'm done with mine), I will report back whenever I get around to reading it.

…if I can.

#Monsterdon

Sassy sexy witch, I hope she does well in this, make a fool of the men

#Monsterdon

Siskel and Ebert did criticize the movie for relying on jump scares and they were right to do so

honestly I think even those jump scares would work a lot better as-is if you just removed the cheap orchestral sting

even the Master of Horror misses a beat now and again. it's about the vision, man.

#Monsterdon

He's blond now?

#Monsterdon

Wait, this came out in 1991? They waited ten years to make the sequel?

#Monsterdon #Miru

Think I'll stick around to see how The Beastmaster gets ejected into the 1980s...

..glad the ferrets are back

#Monsterdon

@ohiofi "The Protagonist laughs. The End"

Checks out! #Monsterdon

Special effects were pretty good, though. Shame about the music rights, a good lyric song would go down well over these credits. #Monsterdon

Thanks for bringing us a famous writer only trying to end the universe instead of one trying to genocide trans people. #Monsterdon

Initial impression? I kinda agree with the reviews that were like "It's got some interesting ideas but it's kinda scattershot and doesn't actually go anywhere."

Like, what if reality were being re-written by a hack writer with the help of extra-dimensional monsters?

...yeah, and? Like, what about it?

#Monsterdon

And that's a wreck!

Trent wanders a world populated with monsters and shadows, made that way by Sutter Cane and his own frantic flight back to his imagined source of safety, a wriggling worm on the hook of the Old Ones now devouring the world! Nothing and nobody fucks off into the sea but deep beneath R'lyeh something long dead stirs fitfully.

Thank you for organizing, @Taweret !

And thank you for all you've given us, Sam Neill. Love your work. Rest easy.

#monsterdon

@paco It does have a kind of corniness since it is about Stephen King taking over reality and a lot of "there's always the movie" lines.

#monsterdon

Okay, that was a movie, all right. Gotta say that he was a bit of a pushover as a protagonist. The author really must be a hack if he can just make his characters do whatever he wants with a wave of a typewriter. #Monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness

Was that an actual casting company called "Back Seat Casting?"

#Monsterdon

I don't think they had any idea how to end the movie. That ending was less coherent than the ending of a monty python sketch.
#monsterdon

Well, thanks everyone, sleep well!

And to @Taweret for hosting this week's #Monsterdon !
