Exit Sandman?
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".
Hayden Christensen as the paper boy???
That was actually a really good monsterdon. Some of the best madness horror that I've seen in a long time.

βοΈ IN THE MOUTH OF TRIVIA π
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.
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.
Gorgeous view from that mental hospital.
#monsterdon
This is basically what high school was like in the 90s
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.
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
How did he draw the crosses on his face so well without a mirror?
#monsterdon
Listening out for the Wilhelm Scream
"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.
"It's useless, he says there aren't even any lights at all..."
I'm gonna guess extinction smells like votive candles
How can the human race be just a story for the children? Are we talking about alien children?

Every species can smell its own extinction [citation needed].

"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 moviesβ½

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
@diazona i'll allow it
@xerozohar that one's about a coffee shop I assume
People with shops *AND* homes?! Yeah, right⦠in THIS economy?
@paco that's John Carpenter doing a Hitchcock! #Monsterdon
Retail and Service staff take a lot of shit from people :(
I liked how they did the colour thing...
Didn't Supernatural do an episode sort of like this? #Monsterdon #InTheMouthOfMadness
Cane does kinda look like my gramma.
Leaving the book behind on the road gives me videogame inventory anxiety.
I would absolutely watch the "traveller from a cosmic horror pocket universe washes up in Schitt's Creek" Hanukkah special or whatever
get ready for the GIF, boys and ghouls and non-boonary fools
Ah the ninties when you could have open flame in your motel bathroom.
#Monsterdon
The real monster in this film was Robot Monster!
If they made this film now they'd have to show his phone not working or it was in on the ruse and lying to him about where he was.
So he ended up in Schitt's Creek
#monsterdon #inthemouthofmadness
Robot Monster! One of the worst films ever made!
Is he watching a Monsterdon?
hey Monsterdon within Monsterdon!
don't talk to strange men kid, ffs...
'k i like him being dropped at a crossroads
ok but he clearly has a cigarette lighter, why not burn the book? #Monsterdon #MouthOfMadness94
#monsterdon Paging any ichthyologists...
Oh it's the Void, he's staring into the Void....haven't we all though?
"Stygian". Always use words that 90+% of your audience will have to look up the meaning of.
#monsterdon
I once read a book about two writers who each become a character in the other's book
I dare say this is a slightly better representation of a writer controlling reality
#monsterdon When you're just a narrative, you can tear a hole in your own head, because you are just a bunch of paper after all. Just a story, like all the other stories.
"And this is how I ended up the commanding officer of the Event Horizon." #Monsterdon

SQUALL OF THE WEEK
"..and in the end it was all a dream and nothing mattered."
Uh oh this movie presaged the breakdown in the perception between reality and fiction.
Ok, seriously, that car has picked even more dirt somehow... Like the back windows can't even be seen through anymore.
That's the real horror of this movie. How bad they need to find a car wash...
Everybodyβs a critic
I did get a bingo btw
@elaterite stuffed his jacket lining with them #Monsterdon
I SAID NO SMOKING
@xerozohar AAHHHHHHHHHHH
"look, I'm bending over backwards to make you happy!"

Nah. The dogs didn't have bandanas around their necks.
*throws a glass at the wall in the bar; it shatters*
"This is reality! We are not living in a Sutter Cane story!"
That bar should really have invested in Duralex glassware, I hear from @jalefkowit that it's practically immune to that failure mode.
Wanted level: ββ
Jessica Rabbit was written better
sure thing Trent
@yatsu is their love so wrong? #Monsterdon
just a couple of sinewy tentacle creatures enjoying a day at the lake, what's wrong with that?
Wow. Just because she was kicking some old dude on the floor you think you can call her a bitch? The word is dominatrix. Idiot.
#monsterdon
Event horizon was inspired by this part, right?
Lovely old practical effects.
#monsterdon
This movie is incredible! Enjoy, ya kooks.
That's water damage π§βπ§
@Lazarou Yeah. I know she was one of the other passengers that Ted sat next too. #monsterdon
Terminus is so bad it's not even "so bad it's good".

Evil novelists only use typewriters. #monsterdon
@trixter I've legit had nightmares like that. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Today is pro-bono dentists day!
@paco and yet here we are again... #Monsterdon
Grandma dominatrix was not on my bingo card.
she got a man down there, dining out...
Oh dear lord
