I am already team Gamer Girl in Red Jacket. <3

#Monsterdon

dropping in a minute late to #monsterdon and i already have no idea what you all are talking about because the version i am looking at has had no dialogue at all and is just an 80's music jam over a woman playing arcade game

aww wooden game cabinet #monsterdon

Law & Order font!

A song about "going to a great big party"!

Ah, the 80s #Monsterdon

Ohhh, the old dude played the horror movie guy in Gremlins 2, the one dressed as Bela Lugosi

#monsterdon

The comet coming - It's like New Years!

#Monsterdon

Oh right Night of the Comet time! After I go get some tea and a snack.
#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Hot Video Arcade Girl can't go wrong with that #Monsterdon

TEMPEST! Yes

We got a great look of her shoes up to her top... I wonder if she's the star?? 😉

#monsterdon

Girl's got the killer instinct. Also like a true gamer, she leans in when serious :D #Monsterdon

What decade does this movie take place in, im not picking up on the subtle hints #Monsterdon

A truly great voice over intro.

And good to know that we'll still be playing Tempest in the "waning years of the 20th century" or whatever the date is supposed to be.

#Monsterdon

Tempest was my arcade jam.

#Monsterdon

Okay, there's an 80s opener for you.

And who IS this fetching lass in the red jacket?

#Monsterdon.

Ok, already loving the sound track.

#Monsterdon

Narrator, you're not in the 1987 New Zealand classic "Bad Taste".

#monsterdon

#monsterdon nice HAIR

"The citizens of Earth would get an extra Christmas present this year"

I know cheesy but OMG this opening narration is on a whole other level of cheesy

#Monsterdon

We star with that lovely 80s soundtrack
#monsterdon

Very 1980s music; reminded me of the show "Halt & Catch Fire"

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet_1984

@simrob @chrisamaphone yoooo one of us! one of us! #Monsterdon

I gotta say, this is a nice solid Narrator Voice. #monsterdon ☄️

this man is Quite Serious about his deedleebobbers. approve. #monsterdon

Just want a big shout-out to Comet Kohoutek, what a disappointment you were. #Monsterdon

65 Million years! Whoo! Accuracy!

Who can spell the name of that crater *without* looking it up? (not me!)

#Monsterdon

Those Argyle socks with heels!
#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Oh man I really miss the grotty Times Square.

#monsterdon

Based on the first 2 minutes, Don't Look Up seems like a remake of Night of the Comet #monsterdon

@moira I don't remember this voiceover from when I watched this on VHS in the 1990s, but it has been a long time. #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Reminder, don't go to comet parties.

#monsterdon

Our hero's a gamer! #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

It's always the 1950s in some parts of the 80s. #monsterdon

oh man Tempest, cutting-edge arcade game back then

#monsterdon

Playing Tempest. So. Very. 1980s.

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

I well, we’re giving #monsterdon a shot with @chrisamaphone night of the comet let’s gooi

Movie opens with nerds hiding underground from the party. Checks out so far

#monsterdon

I too would like to be a secret of time and space #Monsterdon

for the record i don't think it's supposed to be new years but that was just new years eve times square #monsterdon

Ah! #tempest on #monsterdon

Cheesy synth music OMG and deep voice narration. Wow. Right off the bat!

For those of you not alive in 1986, remember that Halley's Comet had just made a big fuss.

#monsterdon

@gnomon This is BEFORE that even! #Monsterdon

Ugh, Joel. Those are your parents. #Monsterdon

Ooh fancy title screen

I think I've heard the "gravitas narrator" voice from too many actors with no gravitas, it sounds like a parody to me now

#Monsterdon

All American tv shows take place in a child's imagination because of St Elsewhere:: any MGM movie can be #Monsterdon because of the lion

enjoy the comet by sitting inside a theater that presumably has no windows

#monsterdon

It's not just an apocalypse. It's a CHRISTMAS apocalypse! #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

🦖 #MONSTERDON 🎞️

☄️ TRIVIA OF THE COMET

#NightOfTheComet1984

Forgot to warn you to look for LL Cool J in the crowds at the beginning.

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet I love that lady laughing in the first shot lol

This narrator really feels more appropriate to a Saturday morning cartoon. #Monsterdon

DOO doo DOO doo DOO doo DOO doo

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Serious Narrator is SERIOUS.

#Monsterdon

new years eve comet party #monsterdon

Starring a block of wood! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon comment thread.

This one is already starting out nice and hokey.

"...in an elliptical orbit SO LARGE..."

#Monsterdon

65 MILLION YEARS GET IT

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

NIGHT OF THE COMET! It's a biopic about tub cleaner? #Monsterdon

Poor Man's James Earl Jones voiceover #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #CoffeeWatch is on duty. Observation posts on alert. (but honestly, we don’t expect any sightings.)

Topical descriptions! Earth passing through the tail feels like a reference to the 1910 apparition of 1/P Halley. And the Alvarez Hypothesis was the hot new thing in the 1980s.

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Thread for "Night of the Comet", 1984; one video is on TubiTV: https://tubitv.com/movies/432267/night-of-the-comet

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet_1984

Starfield and deep voiced narration. Hallmarks of good cheesy sci-fi. #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Ummm ... that's not earth?

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Figure I'll join in with #monsterdon for a while at least, as a belated birthday event

Overly serious narrator. Check! #Monsterdon

Oooh! A visitor is coming! I wonder who it could be? #Monsterdon

The Visitor... reminds me of certain relatives.

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

The visitor 👀☄️ #monsterdon

Well at least they're not scrolling text at us
#monsterdon

Look at this 80s culture on display! 😂 That videogame! Tempest!

#Monsterdon

An elliptical orbit through the universe? That is large

#monsterdon
#NightOfTheComet

"Far out in the unpopular end of the western spiral arm of the galaxy..." #Monsterdon

BIG Expostion voice over #Monsterdon

SINCE BEFORE RECORDED TIME

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

space, the final-- oh sorry. #WrongMovie #monsterdon

Mandatory eighties red font!

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Elliptical orbits are the most scary #monsterdon

Already with the awesome synth magic. #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

@nev I'm going to try and use yours tonight since I've been spreading my mooching around. I'll untag you after this post, but thank you!

#Monsterdon

Aw, yeah! we got that sweet, sweet arpeggiated 80s synth goin' on right off the bat!

#monsterdon

AND there's subtitles
We are in business #monsterdon

That font... I know that font.... 😉

#monsterdon

I'm, like totally ready for #monsterdon with comets and valley girls. Duuuude, it'll be radical.

Oh the soundtrack already!

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

comet comma night of, commence. #monsterdon

Okay, this is a non-terrible description of cometary orbits.

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

It’s starting! Production company logos! #Monsterdon

Oh hey, it's a comet. #Monsterdon

It's the end of the world as we know it. We got movie sign!!! #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet WE'VE GOT MOVIE SIGN

So it begins...

#Monsterdon

Let's #monsterdon!
