Feeling intense relief that the kid got hurt, not the dog
#Monsterdon

Still not sure why they were dirt biking right there
#monsterdon

summon the demon upon Tod Gak

#Monsterdon

Dead kid! God I love the 80s!

#Monsterdon

Oh he has dirtbike? I'm sure glad you showed me like a dozen times or I might have missed that. #monsterdon

Oh man! Killing the kid! Nice! Please don't anyone take this out of context

#Monsterdon

oh phew, it was the boy and not the dog....
#Monsterdon sterdon

Holy shit this is exposition is tedious.
GET ON WITH IT.
#monsterdon

My goal for this movie is Billy and his dog as the only two left alive, rescued at the end by a passing friendly optometrist who gives him a nice house, a bunch of toys, and a fat college fund.

#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead

either the boy or the dog dies.....

#Monsterdon

@flowerpot I wish

#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead

It's supposed to be the 80s, movie. Why are all the poor characters bereft of soap and still acting like 30s stereotypes!?

Why.

"Do you have any beer?"
"No, no liquor."

Uh okay, what about beer?
#monsterdon

Gypsy can tell that they're Terminators.

#monsterdon

And if something _does_ happen to the dog its death had better be avenged, not caused by, Pumpkinhead
#Monsterdon

Depression era footloose

#monsterdon #pumpkinhead

I can’t believe John Denver was ever that young.

#Monsterdon

Lance Henriksen looking like an old painting of jesus

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

Don't trust him, kid, he's an android!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

@yatsu This guy *probably* isn't a vampire

#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead1988

Is this one of those insurance commercials

#Monsterdon

yeah, what kind of christian are you tom?

#Monsterdon

1957, but aside from the truck it could be 1887.

#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead1988

I'm 85% sure I've never seen this.
#monsterdon

BOB MORONES is, of course, an anagram of BROM BONES #trueFacts #monsterdon

Lance Henricksen is a living legend. You start looking at the lists of films he's been in. Jesus. My personal fav. is Chains in Stone Cold. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #MagicCrystal

A box full of radiation? Kid you are gonna get some Kryptonite cancer.
#Monsterdon #MagicCrystal

#Monsterdon these crystal effects are pretty neat.

wtf did I just come back to? Crapping in a sink and a bloody hand coming out of the bath? I guess this is a horror movie too.
#Monsterdon #MagicCrystal

#Monsterdon they've found some aggressively greek-looking men to play the greek men in this movie

there are two kinds of movie

with and without midi

#Monsterdon

And as a little treat, another photo of me & Pumpkinhead from years ago.

#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead

@jonny Coming back it seems. #monsterdon

@kcarr2015 @gnomon @Taweret @cherizilla Yeah, I liked that

#monsterdon #Pumpkinhead1988

#Monsterdon Thanks @Taweret! First time watching #pumpkinhead but worth the wait!

anyway good job #monsterdon prime

and all members of monsterdon

another movie successfully launched into space

and as always thanks to @Taweret for hosting

#Pumpkinhead1988

#monsterdon this followup movie on @miru's followup stream appears to be set in Springfield

Wow! I was right. Glad/sad that he saw what he had to do to make it stop.

#Monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai @catzilla
Yeah... all the cool demons.

#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead

Well this was a very nostalgic #Monsterdon for me. First because I saw this one on the big screen when it was new, and second because I actually grew up in the foothills of East Tennessee. (Though the farthest I went with mountain magic was frog charming, but still!)

Thank you for all the fun, and thank you @Taweret for hosting!

I'm imagining the film was originally titled _Woods Monster Hates Teenagers. And then the monster masks were made and everyone on set kept calling them "Pumpkinheads." And the director thought it was so funny, he retitled the film.
#monsterdon

That wasn't bad at all for #monsterdon standards! #Pumpkinhead

as a father i can sadly confirm that it will be your children who improperly stow the pitchfork you drive into your own torso

#Monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai Ah yeah fair

I took having to dig up Pumpkinhead's body to be an "Unexpected Cost" but it was a bit of a stretch

#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead

Aww ya shot my meat puppet I'm through with y'all Imma just gonna flame off then!

THE END

OK so Ed is like Pumpkinhead by Proxy so guns really do work you just have to find the right target I guess I dunno. I am not sure what the point of all if this was but it was fun pointlessness anyways

Thanks for a gourd ol' 80s horror #Monsterdon @Taweret !

#monsterdon I've made this joke before but the 1980's were nearly as good a decade for the film harmonicist as the 70's was. Plenty of work: You just knew it was gonna be some hills-have-eyes hillbilly punching affair though. Occasionally you got a Night Court bumper but by then the slap bassists had moved in on all the good gigs.

Pumpkin patch graveyards I guess was popular in those parts, but like WHY???

#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead

This one, I judge to be better than the median for #Monsterdon . #Pumpkinhead

Alright, cue the Smashing Pumpkins #monsterdon

That movie did not disappoint. The monster was incredible. Pacing spot on. Just the right low-budget aesthetic and nonsensical choices.
It reminds me of why 80s horror is (or can be) so good.
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon - ahhhh you little stinker, Pumkinhead removing that chain from the bike. Gottem! Lol

@strangefour Yeah that is uncharacteristically well thought out for #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead

That was great! Thanks for the fun commentary, everyone. #Monsterdon

This movie is kinda mid for me, but I LOVE that final aspect that to raise up Pumpkinhead you are selling your soul to get revenge AND turn your body into the next Pumpkinhead. That is some killer folk horror lore.
#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead

Unsurprisingly, I really like the fiddle riff for the credits #Monsterdon

thanks all for another great #monsterdon and to @Taweret as always for hosting!

okay, i do wish the transition from "I want revenge" to "oh, sorry, turns out i didn't want revenge" was a little smoother, or maybe drawn out or something, but like, damn, that was an actually good movie i think. great job, #monsterdon (^_^)

FLAMESSSS #monsterdon #PumpkinHead1988

And that's it! Everything's gonna look weird not being all orange/red/blue for the next hour.

Thanks everyone for coming, big thanks to @Taweret for hosting, @ryan for his stream and @cherizilla for the bingo!

See y'all next week for more #monsterdon gang!

Pumpkinhead drooling is not on my bingo card #Monsterdon

That was pretty good! I wish it had been the period piece it should've been, OR that the stereotypes hadn't been so _incredibly_ rough. But otherwise!

#monsterdon #Pumpkinhead1988

So the old lady dragged Pumpkinhead back to his grave. Impressive. #monsterdon

Pumpkin head is inflammable in life but extremely flammable in death. Feels like they could do more there #Monsterdon

So ends another #Monsterdon with the classic, #Pumpkinhead. Our thanks to @Taweret for hosting, and for everyone lurking and posting. And remember #Monsterdoners: Grandpa will whip you good if he finds out.

I'm assuming there's like a million Pumpkinhead sequels that all suck. #Monsterdon

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's feature, #Pumpkinhead, from 1988, wasn't about the origin of Pumpkin Spice. Instead, we had,

#monsterdon
Weirdly poetic death. Nice.

Say what you will about the old lady, but she keeps herself in good shape.

#monsterdon #pumpkinhead

RIP Pumpkinhead, your efforts to kill literally all the characters in this film will not be forgotten.
#Monsterdon

Leaving only the fine scent of pumpkin spice. #monsterdon

Pumpkins, well known for burting into flames
#monsterdon

#monsterdon somebody grab the marshmallows.

@strangefour Or maybe build two funeral pyres?

#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead1988

Wiat -- he shot himself in the head, got up, walked over a few feet then got up again only to be shot a second time
#monsterdon

Bishop! NOOOOOOO
