Wait is the witch being played by Glenn Close in Hillbilly Elegy
#Monsterdon
Ooh okay frog noises confirmed in the witch's house!
How big ARE his balls?
Vengeance, symbolized, as we know, by pumpkins
I'm mad I had to look it up, but the guy trapped in the closet played the young Clark Kent in the 1970's Superman movie. #Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead
Lance is like, "Bring out your Spirits of Vengeance!"
You never get those dramatic little bluffs in real world geography, they're great
"What am I doing here, why am I digging up corpses instead of taking my son to the hospital. Is this a breakdown?"
#monsterdon Rich, Corinthian Loamy Soil. That's what you're digging into there bubba! Farm to Table rural sympathetic magic!
this is where you go "what the fuck is wrong with me, what am I doing?" and back off, but no, he's a rural Republican, all he's got is doubling down
Poorly conceived jump scare: Check.
#monsterdon
Man, I'm jealous. Tonight is EXACTLY the right night for digging up an ancient evil to enact vengeance in your name, and I'm sitting here at home. :/ #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead π
The IMDB synopsis says he ACCIDENTALLY summoned a demon. This seems well past the "accident" phase.
#Monsterdon oh boy, screams of the damned upon striking the earth, surely that can only be a good omen
pitching a pumpkinhead recreation pumpkin patch experience #monsterdon
#monsterdon
Nice dramatic scene in the graveyard, honestly..
OH, yeah you're not gonna miss that grave.
A cemetery for pumpkins!
#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead
I keep forgetting there's actually a pumpkin patch in this.
Nice owl!
The vulture: #Monsterdon
Not used to "6 feet above" kinda graves
#monsterdon That's how you get facehuggers, PAMβ¦
OK I also want a shovel that kicks off dramatic orchestra music when you slam it into the ground
I wanna be a creepy bog witch someday.
Leave the boy. Take the cannoli.
witch: bring a shovel to..
me: <yawn> yea yea yea, look just nevermind.
#Monsterdon
I wouldn't leave my dead son with that lady....
"i'll give you everything in this tube sock if you'll bring my child back from death."
This is Lance Hendriksen's Oscar clip #monsterdon
I don't think Pudding Lady is motivated by coins and jewelry #Monsterdon
I'm making it a point to make the next #Monsterdon
Those are not swamp spiders. #Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead
Boy (in Monty Python voice): "I'm not dead yet...."
That bribeβs like $500k in this town
tarantula cameo.

Is this red house the red house from the flashback and is this the mother from the flashback and what are those noises?
Elsewhere...#Monsterdon
This movie would be infinitely better if Lance said βgroovyβ now and again.
WOAH! Haggis Witch's pad is awesome! I'd hang out there all the time if I lived there!
@SnoopJ we have mice!
why does everyone had red light bulbs in their homes
I like the owl
she went to LA to be a movie star but just didn't make it...
There's good loot in that witch hut, but watch out for the mobs around it
Take me to your savoury Scottish pudding #Monsterdon
mm, she's got a little bog and everything, good for her.
Frog Sounds β #Monsterdon
i assume this Baba Yaga is mad about the name they gave her #Monsterdon
"Hagis" the witch? Comeon what kind of writing is that. π
Meanwhile in 1931
haggis and pumpkin pie
Haggis McWitch
all these locations are well shot tho
HER NAME IS HAGGIS!?
#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead
"Her name's Haggis." And her apprentice is Yorkshire Pud, I expect.
#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead1988
Whippoorwill sound effect
City Slickers III: The Legend of Haggis Pumpkin
#Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead π
Hillbillly Patriarch was surprisingly decent.
her name's HAGGIS?
@nev This looks like Great Plains or one of the western deserts. Upstate NY has more trees.
It's really funny going from two and a half hours of mainlining The Diplomat to this
I'm imagining all these crossovers, like ambassadors in dark rooms summoning demon gourds to make hits on foreign dignitaries at state dinners
I should write this
Ah, the brown part of town #Pumpkinhead #monsterdon
"He looked at me like he wanted to kill me."
"Don't read anything into that. He looks at everyone that way."
#monsterdon
There's ol' woman up in these hills. Some kinda surgeon. She works under a Blue Cross. #Monsterdon
"If my words won't persuade you perhaps his dead child I have here will?"
YES!!! when in doubt, turn to Wicca!
@allanb I KNOW. I think the writers thought "rural" 1980s is just 1930s Appalacia with updated hairstyles. #monsterdon
#monsterdon this still isn't a hospital, dad
#monsterdon
The twanging let's me know we are in hillbilly country. Also the chicken clucking.
Sepia-filter Pieta get. #Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead
I assume in Hick County, Arkansas/Missouri/Upstate New York or wherever the fuck this is supposed to be, the hospital is like 3 hours away or whatever
He might have lived if they didnβt live in Sepiaville where there are no hospitals.
Wearing a black leather jacket and riding a motorcycle makes you a bad boy in the movies since 1955 #monsterdon #PumpkinHead1988
#monsterdon Proper kickstand use with these dirt bikes is woefully under-deployed.
Dear #Monsterdon, I love how we are always there to correct the first aid care or lack thereof
No phone, no hospital. In the hills thereβs only pumpkinhead. #monsterdon
we should do dark night of the scarecrow some time. that's another one where people are awful and you just want them to get their comeuppance and by comeuppance I mean get brutally murdered with farm equipment
Joel is the Night Man. #unexpectedIASP
Ok I've never seen this, but is this a teen slasher and it's the monster who saves everyone from the killer who is just a murderous teenager?
#monsterdon
according to the music, the kid is going to be just fine, but also according to the music, the kid is already dead and we are mourning him #monsterdon
Kids provide more traction #Monsterdon
I thought the dad was taking Billy to a HOSPITAL!?! You know, for medical care??? #Monsterdon
and he just took him home instead of to a hospital. lance, i don't know what to tell you.
You know what? I'm going to to go find an orphanage run them all over with my dirt bike. That'll show the lot of ya! #Monsterdon
Yeah, I agree. Pumpkinhead is the hero of this film.
He's a serial kid runner-over'er. Get him! #Monsterdon
#monsterdon In classic Apalachiacolapentuckystan this will not be biologically rational or likely, but then, American Folk Horror isnβt really worried over things like entropy and likely biology. LOL.
I feel like him being on probation isn't anybody else's problem. Maybe he should have not run over a kid again?
ah, so this isn't the first person he's vehicular manslaughtered.
Oh, he's the VILLAIN villain, nice :D #Monsterdon
that's a nice cabin
oh NOW there's a cabin in the woods, okay
Nice music hit there. There will be no help. #Monsterdon #Pumpkinhead
so, the dumb teenagers at least knew enough to keep him warm and not to move him.
