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

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)

#monsterdon

ah, what a waste of some good zombie opportunities on that knock off Michael J Fox. #monsterdon

I like how the power still on for the apocalypse #monsterdon

wrench kill!

#monsterdon

oh THIS GUY survived the comet? they better eat his ass up for sustenance quick #monsterdon

Oh no! Anyway, Tempest awaits.

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Egg McMuffins are indeed the pinnacle of breakfast

#Monsterdon

Imagine you survive the apocalypse because you shagged this one guy because you were so bored. And suddenly he's the only human alive in 100 miles... #monsterdon

This guy's suspenders over his flannel shirt are a choice. #monsterdon

Darn, apparently projectionist are immune to dusting too.

#monsterdon

Oh thank god he's dead. Jerk boyfriend

#monsterdon

oh i see. everyone turned into red dust. definitely going to think of this movie the next time wildfire smoke makes city skies orange. #monsterdon

Spandex and headbands everywhere #Monsterdon

#monsterdon did they turn into fucking clay?

These Tempest scenes are triggering me. That game was a rush.

#Monsterdon

Everyone you've ever known.........DUST!

#monsterdon

I think this is all of us right now. #monsterdon

I wonder if this gamer girl who’s into comics (to the point she’s correcting her boyfriend about Superman, while they’re having sex) hit much differently back in the 80s. #Monsterdon

The night after the comet party

#monsterdon

It's gone from an incoming comet to a meteor shower?

#monsterdon

She's a woman of principle, she won't sleep with him for $15...just for free. He's okay with this arrangement.

#monsterdon

Oh, red sky. Like what happened all over the west coast in 2020! (Though not the missing people)

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

The movie theater should totally have been playing "Day of the Triffids" #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Fuck that robot clown

#monsterdon

"You were born with an asshole, you don't need Chuck!"
Gonna have to remember that one.
#monsterdon

Ok. Reggie and Doris just talked about something not a man, and then we had a fistfight between two named female characters. That's a pretty solid Bechdel pass? (though they were technically talking about her dad). #monsterdon

Heck yes, lead girl knows more about comics than the projectionist jerk #monsterdon

"...you were born with an asshole, Doris, you don't need Chuck"

Buuuuuurn!

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

You were born with an asshole, Doris, so you don't need Chuck!

Fist-fight!!! Wow.

#monsterdon

okay 'you were born with an asshole, you don't need Chuck' is actually good

#monsterdon

@amyfou Same #monsterdon

That conversation escalated quickly #monsterdon

The hairstyles remind me why the ozone hole was endangered at the end of the last century #monsterdon

Also, these are the most believable characters I've seen in any #monsterdon movie.

You will be dust soon lady....dust....

ooff, hardcore punch!

#monsterdon

Did this guy manage to mispronounce Newfoundland twice?

#Monsterdon

Smooth move, Exlax #Monsterdon

I like that the main mystery so far in this movie is who the video game player with the initials DMK is #Monsterdon

Industrial leg warmers #monsterdon

some subtitles I found this week. "(Repeating in Spanish)" for "Tres dimensiones"

#Monsterdon

@Taweret Playing Tempest! Regina should be doing her job but Regina is not a model employee. #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Tempest!

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Note to the younguns: this is how the 80s ACTUALLY were.

#monsterdon

Arcade games!
#monsterdon

Nobody's seen a comet like this since that time all the dinosaurs mysteriously all died on the same day!

Neat! That sounds great.

#monsterdon

Tellin y'all, living thru Halley's Comet in 1986 was both super exciting (everyone was expecting a light show) and an absolute disaster (it wasn't a shower at all...)

#monsterdon

Are they going to show a Tower Records in this montage? #monsterdon

"A girl playing a video game? Anything is possible in the 80s!"

#monsterdon

root post for #monsterdon

It's also a Christmas movie! I'm so loving this.

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Wait we are starting "before recorded time"? Good stuff

#Monsterdon

"Since before recorded time..."

cue RIOTORIOUS laughter from me and my partner

#monsterdon

Is it #Monsterdon time again already? I think The Comet caused a time warp!

Follow the hashtag if you want to wax nostalgic about Halley's Comet hysteria of the 1980s...or filter...as you would

OH, the comet killed the dinosaurs, of course

#monsterdon

GO GO GO!!!
