"Generic Mariachi Music (Hector's Theme)" #Monsterdon

@paco I know someone who has fifteen dollars

#Monsterdon

So much Yamaha DX7 in this soundtrack #monsterdon

Oh, the scientists too?

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Zombie kid will get entangled in swingset, no worries

#monsterdon

oh hey is this that scene from THE THING?

#Monsterdon

Lmao the zombie kid wtf

"There goes the neighborhood", Hector?! Your family is dead!

#Monsterdon

Two Dollars! I want my two dollars. #monsterdon

Kid's the best actor in the whole film.

#monsterdon

@msh Whats #monsterdon ?

@trixter "Ah. Yes. I see. Hm. No thank you." #Monsterdon

Hey she said zombies! But not in context of actual zombies just radio listeners.
#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

He upgraded to a 1911

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Hunk opens the door: idontknowhatiexpected.gif

#Monsterdon

I always said the neighborhood kids were little monsters anyway

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Herrrrrre's KIDDIE

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

guy's being attacked by zombie children from minecraft. careful dude, you are in real trouble rn. #monsterdon

@ramsey Whats #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe "Nope." #monsterdon

Wait, his truck doesn't have a back... huh?!

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

The zombie noises coming through the door probably should have been the first clue

#Monsterdon

We don't want any.

#monsterdon

The kid zombie is suitably terrifying I'm impressed #Monsterdon

Zombie kid! Zombie kid! Zombie kid!!!! Shut up this movie is awesome #Monsterdon ☄️

"fuckin' rugrat get the hell out!"

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

@CactuarJoe Whats #monsterdon ?

I respect Hector for not wanting to shoot a zombie kid. #monsterdon

HE JUST CLOSES THE DOOR XD #Monsterdon

OH A KID! Damn, the writers were NOT kind to you, Hector.

#Monsterdon

'salright? 'salright.
#monsterdon

“Daddy would have gotten us Uzis.” #Monsterdon

WAIT TAHTS CHAKOTAY

#monsterdon

Jose Feliciano ftw #Monsterdon

Heeeeeeere's Timmy!

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Aw man, is mom a creeper? That'd be mean. #Monsterdon

so, guy's packing up for what he knows is the last time, and he takes a tiny plastic trophy? definitely "peaked in high school" vibes there. #monsterdon

Ah yes, the scooby-doo zombie chase; a staple of every 80s horror movie

#monsterdon

I've never been shooting in Centralia PA, the abandoned mine town that's been on fire for decades, but I imagine it looks like that #Monsterdon

ping Eh, I didn't need that round.

#monsterdon

@starkraving666 Sure, but the super tiny 80s miniblinds fucking RUIN the vibe. #monsterdon #NightOfTheComet #imdbTrivia

#Monsterdon Do you think there are any therapists in that bunker group? Because all of these people are going to have survivor’s guilt and PTSD like nobody’s business.

@CactuarJoe What's #Monsterdon???

Huh, we're at the halfway mark already? I hope there some more events, but I trust that there will be

#Monsterdon

Oh yeah, make sure you save the plastic trophy, Rob. #Monsterdon

@yatsu Definitely getting grandma's-house flashbacks. #monsterdon

I sure hope they thought to siphon all that gas out first before totaling that car, since it's not like gas stations will be super reliable #monsterdon

that's a great Craftsman house #monsterdon #nightofthecomet

#monsterdon That caddy knows what it did.

BTW if you're ever curious what car is in a movie, there's apparently a whole database of what car is in what movie, for like 20 years now, I just learned of it last week: https://www.imcdb.org/movie_87799-Night-of-the-Comet.html

BTW keep your eyes peeled for the Buick later. That plus the shots they're getting in general plus the colors is just _peak_ 80's

i am fairly certain my mother has a cheap gold-leaf frame like that in her house. #monsterdon

And now for a different type of Mom than Doris.

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Foreshadowing itch is foreshadowing #monsterdon

@Configures Oh, I’m not saying you didn’t exist—just that it wasn’t portrayed in movies and media as a normal thing, usually. #Monsterdon

AUTOMATION IS THE SECRET THEME (this time the record player) #monsterdon

@srol this movie has a lot of ideas about what people really say

#monsterdon

Swiper no swiping!

#Monsterdon

but look that shot of the cheerleader with the mac-10 and the over-it friend holding her ear is iconic, and iconic a good way that we literally never get in #monsterdon

@bstacey not long after the Berlin Wall came down #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe all the diet pepsi they can drink, in fact. #monsterdon

This movie is really pushing "make it with" as something it believes people really say. #monsterdon

This is like un-Bechdel'ed. The last 2 women on Earth are named characters and they are arguing about the last guy on Earth. On the morning after the apocalypse. #monsterdon

But hey, at least you have Diet Pepsi. #Monsterdon

Casual nudity but we have to say "made it with him" right?

Ah, things I am glad we left behind in the 80s.

#monsterdon

i wish i had some twizzlers tho

#monsterdon

She dreams fanservice?
#monsterdon

"Freaked out"

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

make...what? #monsterdon #nightofthecomet

"A dead cat?"
"Semi dead."
Cat dead... details later...
#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

And all that gunfight er is /not/ going to attract a bunch of zombies?

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Okay, it's dead. You skin it, I'll set the meat to smoke. #Monsterdon

i was about to say it is too early for this level of sexual tension and then i realized we are halfway through??? we haven't even really gotten any plot yet. we are only not getting "playing in the wasteland" shooting a ton of guns and stuff. i wish it was another hour longer #Monsterdon

It is a little baby Robert Beltran.
#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

It's a housewife's weapon, basically. Even a housewife can handle it.

(Got to love all the casual racism/sexism)

#Monsterdon

Oh no, she's going to turn zombie, isn't she?

#monsterdon

The audio is too echoey for me to understand anything but I think they’re just establishing romantic subplot. Did she say she’d give him Texas? Is cheerleadsister itchy because she’s becoming a zombie? #monsterdon

Sure I'm glad that those random scientists had a couple of scenes to explain why that itching is ominous

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

girl's a fine shot. #monsterdon

Trans themes ahoy!

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

"[Larry] and I weren't going steady" welp RIP Larry I guess
#monsterdon

@SnoopJ They’re dream sequences. That’s her 80s dream hair. #Monsterdon

you'd think mastodon would have learned that when I type #monsterdon it does not want me to "complete" it to just #monster or #mons by now

shitty half-baked feature tbh

Oh no, not Samantha! #monsterdon

They've known each other for like an hour, the apocalypse has just happened, and they're already flirting? #monsterdon

uh, sam??? #monsterdon

Uh oh, little sis is dissociating and rocking. She's gonna murder someone. #monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

The kids are calling it "Texas" these days?

#monsterdon
#NightOfTheComet

"Going steady", one of those romantic modes that just kind of disappeared, perhaps about 20 years before "talking" emerged. #Monsterdon ☄️

ominous itching #monsterdon

this bathroom is a fucking liminal space

#monsterdon

"Texas? Florida? You can have 'em."

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

@ramsey I mean, I had a 100+ issues unbroken streak of X-Man comics in the 1980s, and was well up on Fantastic Four, Avengers, Superman, and Batman, too. I knew a kick-ass army brat woman who could ride cycles and shoot. I'm not sure there were many women like that all in one package. There were plenty of us back then, being disbelieved and having to prove ourselves back in the day. Novelty? To some, sure. #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

the fact Samantha has so many dreams about zombie cops means she's an all right kid #monsterdon

#Monsterdon No, he was just gifting you $15 a visit. :blobcatrollingeyes:

"i'll be back"
so, he's not coming back then, check.
#monsterdon

@steggy Also stay for the cheesy 80's soundtrack

because the cheesy 80's soundtrack refuses to go anywhere

#Monsterdon

Which chemical process could lead to slow dehydration and culminate in plain "calcium powder" being left behind? (I'll accept calcium compounds that are at least 20% calcium by mole.) #monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

The sexual tension...

This isn't just some date night at the barrio.

#Monsterdon

That's a Bingo for me. 😁 #Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo
