#Monsterdon time to curse some teenagers

Glance Henriksen

#Monsterdon

“Child in danger” is a cheap trope. On the other hand… it’s really effective when done well.

#monsterdon

So I guess this is going the Pet Sematary route but instead of cat it's a child #PumpkinHead1988 #monsterdon

the child blinked

#Monsterdon

I would like for everyone in this movie to go take a shower tho

#Monsterdon

He IS a jerk, and pulling wheelies isn't a long term career

#Monsterdon

I bet Ace Hanlon could take care of Punkinhed. #monsterdon

Jesus Christ. Kids wearing dirty sackcloth, they're really driving the Hillbilly point home, but this is CA

#monsterdon

PumpkinHead mentioned! #PumpkinHead1988 #monsterdon

#Monsterdon🚲🩸🚲 🚲 🤕😠 👹 🎃 😱

but there weren’t still Okies in the late 1980s

I'm ok if any/all of these teens die #PumpkinHead1988 #monsterdon

Well, I already know who to hate in this movie

I mean, aside from everybody

(except the dog)

(and maybe the monster)

#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead

No animals were harmonica'd in the making of this film

#Monsterdon

Okay, now we have evidence that this is set in the 1980s

#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead1988

OK they're hillbillies. I didn't quite get that

#monsterdon

AAAAARRRHGGG #PumpkinHead1988 #monsterdon

No solicitors!

#monsterdon

@catzilla Blue in orange, but in different scenes

#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead1988

He's just going out to get cigarettes. #monsterdon

We had no choice but to burn the credits

#Monsterdon

It has a mouth now... it can devour the child anytime it wishes.
#Monsterdon #MagicCrystal

LEL did he just give him the finger?!?

#monsterdon #doubleFeature

Me, I've just trained in Run Fa-a Way

#monsterdon #doubleFeature

But they couldn't afford Chuck Norris.

#monsterdon #doubleFeature

I just now realized that's Cynthia Rothrock.

#monsterdon #doubleFeature #duh

@diazona #monsterdon #doubleFeature

Unfortunately, not jumping off third-floor balconies...

Think I need to track down this Ed Justin poem!

https://pumpkinhead.fandom.com/wiki/Pumpkinhead_(poem)

#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead

@catzilla I guess dæmons are just Like That

#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead1988

And they all fucked off into the roasted pumpkin seeds!

That was visually excellent and totally Halloweeny and fun! Thanks to @Taweret as always! Can't wait to do it again!

#Monsterdon

fucking off into the pumpkin patch is linus's trick tho'

#monsterdon #Pumpkinhead1988

Oh my goodness. Tubi wants to follow this with "The Gate" another movie that kept up at night when I was a kid. #Monsterdon

@Taweret cheers! #Monsterdon

Was that supposed to be a jump scare? #monsterdon #PumpkinHead1988

I love monsterdon with plenty of monster screen time! There's at least 4 of these, and it's unclear if they get a pumpkin head at some point because I can't be arsed to look! Thanks for getting me to watch more horror movies 😅
#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead

Tubi ads are a lot tonight and I seem to be 10min behind most people #monsterdon #PumpkinHead1988

Thanks @taweret for hosting.

A better movie than our usual fare

I, for one, appreciated one where there was no weird sex scenes.

#monsterdon #pumpkinhead

@nazokiyoubinbou no stakes, no problem #monsterdon

Well, I think we've all learned something valuable tonight about the responsibilities of motorcycle ownership

Thanks everyone! 😅
Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead

Pumpkinhead cemetery for the best of ROI of gourd based revenge demons #monsterdon

@moira It's the freaky friday (sorry old brain)cross over, we've all been waiting for! #Monsterdon

So wait - the farther of the kid is the new pumpkinhead?

#monsterdon

No, Tubi, we've already seen The Gate

#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead1988

I suppose it's nice that one of these characters knows how to properly murder a dude

#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead

And back to the weirdly elevated pumpkin nexus. #Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead

The monster/protagonist connection is nice, fairly novel. #monsterdon

Only you can prevent Pumpkinhead

#Monsterdon

"So how was your weekend break in the Hills?"

#Monsterdon

Problem with being 8 ft tall is nobody builds for your height

#Monsterdon

How often does someone out for revenge end up actively trying to stop their revenge made manifest? That feels like an underused twist on a movie trope.
#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead

this movie is like dril's candle tweet.

#monsterdon

Bingo!

https://bingobaker.com/#68f56b6c77cd312f

(I'm counting both the truck not starting and Pumpkinhead ripping the chain out of the dirtbike as "car trouble", even though that's not what got me over the line)

#monsterdon

aw, for a second there, i thought maybe pumpkinhead disassembled your car too.

#monsterdon

This Pumpkinhead guy is a remarkably competent villain for an '80s slasher film.

#Monsterdon

These children are so sad and beige #PumpkinHead1988 #monsterdon

So the flashes of light, based on the sound effect, are just arcing and not actually lightning? Ooookay. #monsterdon

Leave chris, he was a bit 'meh'

#Monsterdon

✅ pumpkinhead knows how motorbikes work #monsterdon

I like that it taunted him holding the bike chain

#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead

See, the thing about Pumpkinhead is that he sets up REALLY OBVIOUS TRAPS. If this were anything but a horror movie he'd be pretty easy to beat. #Monsterdon

Pumpkinhead knows bike maintenance

#Monsterdon

Y'all should have known, church organ music gives Pumpkinhead a +5 boost to intimidation

#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead

Based on a poem, you say

#Monsterdon

"I figure it's a holy place. It might not like it."
"Or it might be like 7/11 to it. Who fucking knows?"
#monsterdon

Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure

#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead

#monsterdon #pumpkinhead i think i was expecting more like this

Told you they was cursed pumpkins
🎃 #Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead

Finally leather jacket asshole is dead! #monsterdon #Pumpkinhead

This place looks real secure

#Monsterdon

"Failed Jesus Experiment" sounds like a pretty good band name! #monsterdon

Injury to the monster means injury to lance? *GASP* Who could have seen that mind and body link coming? Not Lance as he was laying down on a ceremony to awaken the beast and tie it to his soul.
#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead

Sorry buddy, I don't think the desecrated holy places count as holy places anymore

#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead

Don't mourn for Joel, fuck that guy

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon🚲🩸🚲 🚲 🤕😠 👹 🎃 😱

BINGO!

Pumpkin head shooting cans off a tree log to practice

#monsterdon #pumpkinhead

This movie has more dingy browns than a mid-2000s video game.

#monsterdon #pumpkinhead

I bet Pumpkinhead throws a wicked splitter. #monsterdon

Also, the wolfy-dog turning on Ed from his demonic pact.

#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead1988

#monsterdon Oh yay! From one stained outfit to a worse-stained outfit!

So how many generations of people have come to that cabin to escape demonic vengeance? Is it like once per iteration of the family, or is it more seasonal? #Monsterdon

Pumpkin head is a weird monster. He's not pumpkin headed. If anything his head looks like an early rejected Godzilla design.
He's somehow simple and really complicated at the same time. Great practical suit that changes the human form, but is still just a big pink sack of humanoid flesh and bones.
#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead

Half an hour left, so he's not dead
#monsterdon

that counts as car trouble, i'm calling it a bingo!

#monsterdon #Pumpkinhead1988

@Louisa maybe pumpkinhead is an Old One

those less guilty get to die first as a Sign of Gratitude

#monsterdon

There's Pumpky. I realize the purpose of movie poster and cover box art is to get people to spend money on it, not be an acurate portrayal of what they'll see. But there's like 25 minutes left. #monsterdon

This movie is a great pick, @Taweret #monsterdon

okay, those two guys hugged and nobody onscreen tried to make a no homo joke. i think my respect for this movie just went up like 3 sizes.

#monsterdon

You know kids this running away and just leaving people to die isn't working for y'all #Monsterdon

@ohiofi But at least this is a demon and not just some animal. So it's magic!

#monsterdon #pumpkinhead

The way the monster uses human heads like handles for carrying is just really good
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Wow, the kitchen had a machete?

I wonder what you cook with a machete?

The guy with the gun isn't even trying, not a single shot #Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead

So the 40 year old teens are now going after the monster? This is going to be great #monsterdon #PumpkinHead1988

and this, headband dirtbike city kids, is why you always call the ambulance after killing a dirtsack child instead of taking your friends hostage #monsterdon

What if... for once... we are the monster? Monsterdon is the agent of revenge. We are getting what we want, and the character sin the movie are the ones paying for it.
#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead

@littlemiao That's a plus!
#monsterdon

To guy with gun: You had one job.
#monsterdon

oh we found steve, that was easy

#monsterdon

Girl with the Cleavers is the Final Girl
