I feel like the zombie design could be more interesting. I want zombies who are, like, part clumps of dust :D #Monsterdon

Awww yeah, speed suits with belts!!!

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Oh no they’re gonna turn to dust anyway? Is this the Helvetica Incident my science education warned me about? #monsterdon

They really knew how to soundtrack in the 80s, didn't they?

#monsterdon

Yeah, I turn to dust every winter. Dry Minnesota air, ya'know?

#monsterdon

WTF are you all watching on #Monsterdon - Night of the Comet? Just from your toots that send most likely

The electric power is lasting for a surprisingly long time. #Monsterdon

Welcome to evil science cult, here's your grey jumpsuit. #Monsterdon ☄️

okay, well now I'm worried about the disintegration rates too. #monsterdon

Trans scientist w/military belt and leg warmers

#monsterdon

Teenage comet zombies -- anyone want to start a band?

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Calcium dust? With the reddish color, I'd expect it to be iron dust.

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Hot mic! #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

I don't have many jokes tonight because I'm genuinely enjoying this film. #monsterdon

Is this Blake's 7 now?

#monsterdon

🦖 #MONSTERDON 🎞️

☄️ TRIVIA OF THE COMET

#NightOfTheComet1984

Samantha tosses an album over her shoulder. This is a joke. It's the soundtrack for Valley Girl (1983), at the time one of the most sought-after albums.

Oooh, is that a cool labyrinth symbol on the evil science cultist base or whatever? #Monsterdon ☄️

Definitely an 80s American movie, MAC-10 mentioned within 20 minutes.
#monsterdon

Yeah when she was a kid in the 70s she trained on a Mac10 - very popular back then

#monsterdon

Gee, she is overloading everything!
#monsterdon

regina said Hec-tor in a way that only a white woman could to make it sound like a fucking slur

#monsterdon

So, having sex is one of the things that saves you from the comet?

Reminds me of The Langoliers where you had to be unconscious to survive flying through the spacetime rift.

#monsterdon

Christ, if the music was GOOD I might not care

#monsterdon

"One third owner of the greater Los Angeles basin." #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Lady, you're totally going to clip the audio blasting the levels like that.

#monsterdon

Reminder that "everywhere" extends as far as Burbank

#Monsterdon

"Testing"
<farts into microphone>

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

"So You're The Last Person Alive"

Step One; Get Guns, Claim Territory

#monsterdon

I think the real question is whether DMK is still alive

#Monsterdon

Commander, you threatened to shoot her, and you think SHE has an attitude problem? #Monsterdon

How many of these movies have we seen in the posters here? Is this our future?
#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Hmm. Fornicating your way into surviving the apocalypse. Weird way to get there but sure.
#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

This song totally ripped off a Police song, I think.

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Enough with the cats

#monsterdon

Now we know where trump got the cat eating story.

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Cat eating synchronicity!! #Monsterdon

@sean I saw it on TV!

#monsterdon

Yeah right the zombies are eating cats, ok JD Vance #monsterdon

I love how automation is a secret theme of this movie - all the stuff turning on in the morning, the automated radio station #monsterdon

Jumped by a zombie? I'm sorry to hear that.

#monsterdon

Leave the cats alone!

#monsterdon
#NightOfTheComet

Oh good they noticed the radio station thing too #monsterdon

and hey it's Chakotay!

Absolutely unshaken by armed-and-dangerous Chakotay

#Monsterdon

The radio station seems to have a bit of a Beetlejuice vibe.

#monsterdon

It's Chakotay! #monsterdon

And is LA ever this quiet? Think! #monsterdon

You move into the light or Chakotay will shoot you dead where you stand.

#monsterdon

Aw, it's Chakotay from before he was a right wing chud :D #Monsterdon

is that... is that CHAKOTAY!!! HIIII!
#monsterdon

Cats survived but dogs did not......hmmmm

#monsterdon

What's with the leather gloves look?

#monsterdon

Wow the music from the same singers is so everywhere and intolerably shit

#monsterdon

Okay, we're on pretty solid Bechdel test footing now #monsterdon

wow, now THAT is an 80s music set. #monsterdon

Hey, AT LAST radio KPLOT is itself, a plot point! :D #Monsterdon

I am not making this up: I had a dog named Muffy in the 1980s.

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

IS THE DJ DMK #monsterdon

Has anyone thought about...you know...rehydrating them? ARE PEOPLE TANG!?

#monsterdon

@fluffy "There shall come soft rains." -- Ray Bradbury story where all the automated stuff keeps going and all the peeps are dead. #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Oh shit. Thanos was here!
#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

whoa so she *did* register that everybody is missing after all

#Monsterdon

oh dang the dog DOES die

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

@georgieboy "Just one more suburban street.........nope, still dust " #monsterdon

Everybody's dead. Everybody is dead Dave. #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

"Spent the night in the lawn storage shed" The _metal_ shed. #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

I love this movie's soundtrack though

#Monsterdon

@Taweret That's just LA

#Monsterdon

What a lot of people don’t realize about history is that the 80s were just one long music video #Monsterdon

"You made me swallow my gum!"
😂
#Monsterdon

If this film were made post-2000, she would be carrying a gun

#monsterdon

the red light everywhere outside looks just like Oregon during the 2020 wildfires #monsterdon #nightofthecomet

THERE IS NO SAMANTHA OR DORIS ONLY ZUUL

#Monsterdon

enjoying the #Monsterdon experience so far but it’s harder to watch and toot than I expected

C'mon people if everyone in SoCal disappeared suddenly the streets would not be this empty, they'd be full of cars stuck on the freeway, or getting on the freeway, or getting off the freeway

#Monsterdon

Operating hypothesis: She never actually rides a motorcycle in this film

#monsterdon

It takes her how many blocks of empty streets to figure out something's wrong?
#monsterdon

Time for Regina to realize the complete absence of people anywhere in the city is slightly suspicious

It just wouldn't do to rush that moment

#Monsterdon

Riding a motorcycle through the apocalypse after retaking a high score position. I am here for it.

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

@amyfou I think they're the same

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

But driving around an empty city would be cool though, I think 10 year old me particularly loved that idea
Not with that hair though

#monsterdon

This. Is.

AWESOME!

Finally a sclocky horror flick where the girl isn't all screamy and useless!

#Monsterdon

Egg McMuffins were invented twelve years before this movie. Huh #monsterdon

Really curious how this girl is going to survive
#monsterdon

"come here your ass"
#Monsterdon

She now regrets dropping the bloody murder weapon.

#monsterdon

Into every generation, One is born.

Regina the Zombie Slayer

#Monsterdon

I think we have arrived at the first part of the soundtrack that isn't aggressively 80's

#Monsterdon

ooh, the talky kind of zombies!

#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ but was clearly filling in 6th place. lazy writing #monsterdon

Wait, you picked up someone's panties but that bloody wrench is too much, huh????

#monsterdon

CINEMA SINS

If Regina got a better high score than the person on the list she wanted to knock out of the high scores, that person's score would drop to a lower position, not simply be replaced

#Monsterdon

I forget who takes longer to realize the world has ended. Reg or Shawn in Shawn of the Dead. #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

@steggy Much better than Col. Mustard in the Conservatory with a candlestick...

#monsterdon

Back before "Area 51" and "Terminator Salvation" movie theaters had to have Galaga machines. #monsterdon

Wait, what am I talking about? That was "Tempest"

Rushing to add Night of the Comet to my Christmas movies technically letterboxd list, Die Hard finally has a friend #Monsterdon

Why do they have both Asteroids and Asteroids Deluxe? 3 vector games ? Wild.

#monsterdon

Was that a zombie? 🤩
#Monsterdon

Get wrenched, sucker!

#monsterdon

@Configures I don't think I ever got to try Zaxxon. Looks challenging! #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Rapture? Zombies? Nah, fuck that, I'll just play more Tempest.

(it's me)
