Joining late as searched around and found the movie on Tubi, whatever that is lol. Will fast forward a bit.

#Monsterdon

God. The cover art and title font on the books weren't enough of a shot. They actually mention King by name. #monsterdon

SUTTER CANE'S
THE THOMASSLAMMERS

#Monsterdon

SUTTER CANE'S
SHIT

#Monsterdon

hmm is this book actually scary? let's find out together

#Monsterdon

I like how they actually mention Stephen King as well

#Monsterdon

oooo 90s laptop!

#Monsterdon

90s office wear

#Monsterdon

I want to be a deadly mad prophet of the printed page

#Monsterdon

Fish maaaaaaan <3 #Monsterdon

Sutter Cane is a hell of a drug

#Monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow Sutter Cane himself is more of a King reference, with all the books and stuff. But so many references point to Lovecraft. And King himself is always sticking in Lovecraft references. So It's kinda both mashed together and turned up past 11.

#monsterdon I always wanted to wander around a city with an axe like this guy. Talk about respect. And fleeing.

#monsterdon Watch their eyes… great effect :)

"Hey, that's the name of the film!"

Old time radio show about an insurance investigator I listen to

@ohiofi I hear this tune in my head now #Monsterdon

There are four lights

#Monsterdon #MouthOfMadness94

SUTTER CANE MENTIONED

#Monsterdon

I always think that sweaty guy is Meatloaf’s dad.

#Monsterdon

You gave a writer in an asylum a single black crayon, ARE YOU MAD MAN?

#Monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness

Starting my watch thread late but I've been with y'all the whole way.

So excited to see this one with people who haven't, this movie is fantastic. Doubly excited because some of you will have probably not seen a John Carpenter film before, and that's doubly exciting.

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Muzak, the true torture

#Monsterdon

lol "sorry about the balls"

#Monsterdon

In the Balls of Sorrow

#Monsterdon

Hey, no captions? Boooooo. #Monsterdon

I'm ready for one of my favorite David Warner things to be stuck in my head for the rest of the night.

#Monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness

Aaaand it takes place at the Church of Scientology. Probably

#Monsterdon

whoops someone typo'd "In the Month of Madness"

#Monsterdon

"In the MOUTH of madness" Do I look like madness's dentist to you? #Monsterdon

Yeah, you can tell this instrumental desperately wanted to be an Alice Cooper song. #Monsterdon

This opening song wants to be Enter Sandman SO HARD

#monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness

Beastmaster II: Electric Boogaloo in LA

#Monsterdon

I say shoot the Valley Girl, upset the timeline...

#Monsterdon

Funny: the mass market version of the paperback of the novelization is more expensive than the trade version with current discounts applied (same starting price)

Probably an inventory quirk, but it feels like it echoes the mixed reception to the movie in its time and tonight among #Monsterdon viewers

lol, standard LA establishing shots....

#Monsterdon

Bit needy there dude....

#Monsterdon

wait, are they stealing a neutron bomb?

This is escalating wildly and I approve

#Monsterdon

Did they make the sassy sexy witch walk the whole way to the time portal?

#Monsterdon

Exposition Swamp Hag

#Monsterdon

Swamp Thing!

#Monsterdon

How many times is "bosom" going to be in the script?
#Monsterdon #Beastmaster2

Dude, you don't even know the Earth is round...

#Monsterdon

It's like these people have never seen laser weapons before?!

#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ Tying their own shoes?

#Monsterdon

SEXY witch

#Monsterdon

Big thanks to @Taweret for a high-end Monsterdon film this week. Always nice to have a class axe once in a while.

We had smoking. A lot of smoking. And, coffee. Lots of very bright red blood, splashed about liberally. Extra-dimensional slimy monsters, with tentacles. An old country recipe for coleslaw being demonstrated (handcuffs optional). Folks doing strange things with their eyes. Shotgun suicide. Old-school typewriter in use ...

In short, Sam Neill visits Lovecraft's Brigadoon.

#Monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness

"The body count was high, the casualties are heavy" #Monsterdon

Lasers beat Axe

#Monsterdon

this is all pretty kink so far

#Monsterdon

I will say, tho,

"What do you think of my ending?"

Honestly, Mr. Cane? Blazing Saddles did it better. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#Monsterdon

That was a very competently made movie and also clearly not what I want out of my #Monsterdon experience... good thing we have Beastmaster 2 coming up as the double feature

Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everybody for posting!

#Monsterdon #MouthOfMadness94

Oh yes, and if you liked this movie and are the kind of person who can stand cheap scapegoating of the homeless and extremely blatant "have never even looked at 'Catholicism' Wikipedia page"-level inaccuracies, do check out Prince of Darkness.

This isn't so much a recommendation as a condemnation of you, as a person

#Monsterdon

@Taweret that was a cracker, cheers! #Monsterdon

@JoeWynne This had better end up in a future poll. I can't vote because they don't federate with me. So I'm counting on my #monsterdon friends to make that happen.

This was BRILLiANT! Probably my favourite #monsterdon in a very long time!

Thanks everyone who picked this movie, I didn’t know about it and I’m so glad I joined today! Had a blast

Thanks @Taweret
for organizing

#InTheMouthOfMadness

Man, it’s gonna suck going back to our usual movie fare after this.

#Monsterdon

@Binder

Tragedy + time = yucks!

#Monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness

Okay, that was super fun. Loved the ending. Thanks, @Taweret and everyone for making me laugh!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #inthemouthofmadness

They fucked off into they fucked off into they fucked off into

Exit Sandman?

#monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness

The jubilant cock-rock over the credits is such a good bit of thematic dissonance, and I mean that sincerely.

It's like scoring the end of the world with "Bohemian Rhapsody".

🦖 MONSTERDON 🎞️

⁉️ IN THE MOUTH OF TRIVIA 👄

Many noticed Sam Neill watching a movie earlier. It was Robot Monster (1953). Why? It's one of John Carpenter's favorite monster movies as a kid.

#Monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness

that was fun

ty for joining, everyone!!

#monsterdon

The movie is still on? So the projectionist didn't watch the movie.
#monsterdon

So, the cut of this movie I saw overseas ended right there when Trent swung the axe right at the screen.

#Monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness

Gorgeous view from that mental hospital.
#monsterdon

This is basically what high school was like in the 90s

#monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness1994

Ah, well, door's ajar. That's a spot of luck. I guess he'll just walk out of here and go have as normal a life as he can with what time he's got left. All's well that ends well.

#Monsterdon

No blood on the floor, but plenty of spilled ink. #Monsterdon

And he's the last one alive I guess. But somehow the power is still on. I guess nobody who operates and maintains the power grid watches movies or reads books.
#monsterdon

The Walking Read. #Monsterdon

John Carpenter is real good at the squishing and cracking tho

#Monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness

How did he draw the crosses on his face so well without a mirror?
#monsterdon

Listening out for the Wilhelm Scream

#monsterdon

"Did I ever tell you my favorite color was blue?"

This *is* a fantasy movie: A book gets turned into a movie in just 6 months.

This has such a happy ending. Fairy tales for someone's children, & laughter, so much laughter in the theatre.

#monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness

"It's useless, he says there aren't even any lights at all..."

#Monsterdon

I'm gonna guess extinction smells like votive candles

#Monsterdon #MouthOfMadness94

How can the human race be just a story for the children? Are we talking about alien children?

A bedtime story for who's children?

WHO'S CHILDREN, MOTHERFUCKER?!?

"Sure, let's sell these books that send everyone mad...let's make it into a Movie!"

Fucking America...

Listen, I can excuse not reading but not watching movies‽

David Warner is a perfectly normal psychiatrist who isn't evil? Are you sure movie? It's David Warner.

Every good #Monsterdon has Blue Filter Footage. I hope they won an award for Best Use of Blue Filter.

Charlton Heston as publishing world's version of the tech CEO who won't allow their kids on the internet

#monsterdon

@diazona i'll allow it

#Monsterdon

@xerozohar that one's about a coffee shop I assume

#Monsterdon #MouthOfMadness94

People with shops *AND* homes?! Yeah, right… in THIS economy?

#monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness1994

@paco that's John Carpenter doing a Hitchcock! #Monsterdon

Retail and Service staff take a lot of shit from people :(

#Monsterdon

I liked how they did the colour thing...

#Monsterdon

Didn't Supernatural do an episode sort of like this? #Monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness

Cane does kinda look like my gramma.
