The funniest thing about werewolves is that people just stand there watching their transformation, which is a power they share with magical girls. #monsterdon
"Variety wrote, "'Silver Bullet' is a Stephen King filmette from his scriptette from his novelette which may sell some tickettes but not without regrettes ... the kids have a silver bullet, the only known power that will stop a werewolf. Unfortunately, there's no known power that will stop films like this."[16]" #monsterdon
have fun explaining to the cops why the minister's corpse is in your house naked with no eyes
OH NO MOLOTOV COCKTEASE IS THE WEREWOLF
If you watch one werewolf wheelchair car chase movie this year watch "Silver Bullet" #Monsterdon #SilverBullet
1-877-GUNS-4-KIDS
@Taweret Be fair, tho, it's not like there's anyone left in town to arrest them. #monsterdon
like this whole sequence feels very kids movie
but there's eyes being gouged out in other scenes
who did they think their audience was
Practical upshot, tho, the werewolf basically depopulated a small down all by himself. Given some of the clumsy ass werewolves we've seen on #monsterdon, that's a pretty impressive achievement.
Wait *suicide* is the greatest sin?
Not murder? Y'know, the one that has a whole commandment dedicated to it?
(I guess technically "thou shalt not kill" isn't explicit about the killing being done to someone else)
And so they fucked off into the night.
Thanks for watching tonight, fam. It was a lot of fun. And not that bad of a movie. Although this ending song isโฆ oh buddy, so many 80s flashbacksโฆ
Anyway, I'm done. Take care of each other. Be kind, spread love, watch 80s horror movies just 'cuz.
Goodnight!
update: bagels were VERY GOOD
@forestine accu-rette
I didn't always know that people laughed about my #Monsterdon posts, but I had a pretty good feeling about tonight. I knew I'd thank @Taweret the first chance I'd get, and I was always thankful to the Monsterdon crew for their brillia๐ชณ๐ฅ๐ด
โYEAH
They were out of money before they commissioned the closing credits theme song.
there was literally no point in the voiceover #monsterdon
Mr. Zimmerman must have AMAZING hearing to hear him over a running tractor
I feel like Uncle Red missed his calling as an engineer. That's some solid craftsmanship on that thing.
Watching the child drive down the road in a wheelchair motorcycle and finally realizing this is a very silly film #monsterdon
He has a picture of his son torn to pieces? What the fuck? #Monsterdon
My 17yo is sitting in the living room at 9:00 on a Sunday.
"Oh, are you going to watch #monsterdon with us?"
"Nope"
And he noped right out of here. ๐
This concludes my #monsterdon thread for Silver Bullet (1985), in which we learned that motorcycle wheelchairs are very cool if you are a teenage boy in a wheelchair, but that they also can help you escape murderous Werewolf Priests that you have annoyed with illicit firework shows in the woods.
Until next week, um, remember to not search the woods for werewolves at night if you can avoid it. I think that's probably good advice if you live in a werewolf movie.
@rebeld To be fair they have a dead naked reverend at 3:30am in the living room with two kids in a home without their parents, itโs not looking good for the church and I guess people are just going to try to sweep this under the rug
Why is she telling this story like Marty didn't make it?
fuck it *unweres your wolf*
This child is more likely to die by fireworks or road accidents than werewolf attacks
And that's how the forest burned down.
"Whose bike is this?" "It's a chopper baby." "Whose chopper is this?" "MARTY'S FUCKIN CHOPPER."
He was a menace before, now he's the real monster of Tarker's Mills.
This is one of those Stephen King joints that is both a thinly veiled allegory of the horrors of alcoholism AND an overt depiction of the horrors of alcoholism
Warewolf eats the weed farm and then just sits there like a dog on cbd oil
"Here's $2.76, the agreed-upon penalty for pushing you in the mud."
So! This version is MUCH BETTER than the previous version from tumblr. I'd actually recommend this version.
edit: oops wrong tags lol but now i'm leaving them in but adding the correct ones xD

Corey Haim & Gary Busey must've been 60% of the budget, & the Silver Bullet chopper another 20%, because Big Ed was cheap, & nobody else could act at all. It was embarassing watching this school play level production, with good SFX for only two scenes.
I like a short story, directly adapted to film, no plot curves just YES that's the guy, YES get 'im. Good plan, Ray.
The music did not work, at all. This is not John Carpenter.

@RobynGoodfellow @Taweret He's a priest, he's naked, there's kids. What's there to explain? He'll have been retroactively reassigned to, I dunno, somewhere in Alabama by dawn.
And so Gary Busey barks at the moon and we all live happily ever wolf-less
thanks @Taweret as usual and have a good...
wait there's a credits song?! whut?!!!
So they kill the werewolf who immediately turns back into the creepy reverend.
Leaving nothing to back up their story.
So that's why she narrated, Marty was in jail, charged as an adult for premeditated murder.
How many times has Gary Busey fallen asleep in a chair with a gun in his lap
This station wagon survived Hercules in New York
Sure wonder if Corey Haim's later troubles in life were at all influenced by Gary Busey during the filming of this film.
I don't see how this goes on for another twenty minutes
bwahahhaha that was a GREAT smart ass comment
all those beer cans, that garage must STINK
I'd like to try walking into a barber shop and unwrapping someone.
I expect I'd only be able to do it once.
My guess: the priest is the werewolf
It's either that or a metaphor for Stephen King's coke addiction
"To shreds, you say?"
Later that night, one cop finds a bloody kite that I think was flown by the snake throwing boy, so the next day or so the main family have a funeral to go to where a priest says strange priest things.
The dad volunteers to take Marty (the boy in a wheelchair) home via his fancy car and the boy suggests "yo what if the murders are done by a monster" having correctly guessed the film's genre.
Private Justice was also my stripper name.
Okay so this movie really is Jaws with a werewolf.
i like the low rumbly bwaaaa fm synth going on #monsterdon
Very glad to see one of the Coreys, though
90% of snake related injuries in America are males who instigated the interaction
They should've made a whole series of these, with Marty in his chopper, his sister, & Red finding monsters living in small-town America & harassing them to death.
Silver Bullet 2: Draculas Got Wood (I guess this is just Salem's Lot)
Silver Bullet 3: Mummy Three-Way
Silver Bullet 4: See the Invisible Man
nice movie. but that voiceover was about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.
well, my wolves have been thoroughly worn
and that's it, ms. narrator lady? who ended up going to jail because they killed a reverend??
Well, thanks for watching #monsterdon with me everyone! Special thanks to @Taweret for putting up with our shit each and every week, and to helpers @JoeWynne @cherizilla and @ryan for the help along the way.
See y'all next week!
would you like to explain how a naked dead reverend big ed hurley ended up shot int the face in your living room to the cops
PLOT TWIST: the narrator was the werewolf the whole time
This much silver became this much bullet.
"The moon is full, and your parents are gone" said Gary Busey, priming the flamethrower...
Make bullets for the child, that's a healthy thing to do Gary Busey
No more villain monologuing, thank you. We want a werewolf, not a why-wolf!
OMG. The Right Reverend Exposition gives his sermon on his crimes.
Kid pulls into the service station..."Hey, she's burnin' a lot of oil, think you can do a quick ring job?" #MotorcycleJokes
Look just give the priest a nice new silver cross necklace for... national priests' day or whatever.
Follow the money! More murders = more funerals!
If Marty takes that thing to 88 miles an hour he can travel back to before this movie was made and prevent it.
#monsterdon Okay, to hell with Pluto, morons, hopped on with @miru's stream. I can't believe it actually worked. I'm shocked! Took my dorky iphone 13 to start it, and the crap Samsung never works, but now it does. Inexplicable! But I'll take it!
What the hell, is this town *all* drunks? It is Milwaukee and I didn't notice?
(That was my Chicago coming out, sorry Milwaukee, you're beautiful!) #Monsterdon
I bet this movie is Stephen King thinking he understands the Disabled now...
Turns out Gary Busey was always Gary Busey.
is everybody super flushed in this movie or is it just this print? #monsterdon
Silver Bullet! He said it! He said the thing!
is she going to be bosom friends with the werewolf?
#monsterdon
I have been super busy and didn't check in much today, so I was UNPREPARED for PLUTO! ๐
@paco @ryan #monsterdon #WrongWolf
"HDMI cable" = High-Definition Mescaline Ingestion
yo... the afterparty on https://miru.miyaku.media/ is KILLING IT
I actually know somebody who has worked on a Royal Navy Submarine and I'll add "did you have screen doors inside" to my long list of questions.
The moral of the story was very clear โ always wear eye protection around fireworks, kids.
@bryanhowell It was no Chopping Mall, but yeah, it wasn't awful. #monsterdon
@CactuarJoe I feel like this *would* have been a strong contender if not some epically terrible films we have seen earlier this year (sideeye at various flavors of Hercules)
And so they fucked off into the 80's.
Not bad TF effects for this time period. I was afraid the wolf would be just a hairy dude or Smokey the Bear. Nope, wolfiness was at least attempted.
I can also see the Stephen King influence here. I haven't read the book, but not the first time a movie has butchered his books.
Thanks @Taweret for hosting!
What. the literal. Eff. Is up. With this credits song?
<Da da da da jaws music da da exorcist da da john carpenter synth sting>
You can't scare us by threatening Jane, she's alive in voiceover.
Hairless swimmer guy becomes hairy werewolf, & reverse. Kinda mid SFX.
Red got scratched up pretty bad, is he gonna get infected & turn?
How are they planning on disposing of Big Ed's body, & patching the wall, before mom & dad get back?
NONE OF THESE QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED.
Insted, pan flute & piano.
"I never saw Marty again after that night."
"Hey sis who are you talking to?"
"Go away Marty you booger I'm doing my memoirs!"
really? the gotcha corpse? really?!
It was Master Splinter the whole time!
Bingo!
Okay, wait, we've already established that a goddamn bottle rocket did lasting damage to this werewolf. I feel like regular bullets would still be worth having in that gun.
Sounds like the werewolf sat on the pitch bend wheel
Okay it's possible to say the title of the movie TOO many times.
"Me and nan were just like you guys. Hunting werewolves, the whole thing."
In a well-written story, Big Ed would bite Marty and restore full use of his limbs as part of being a werewolf, and induct him into the Bookhouse Boys to help fight back the darkness #Monsterdon
Of course the movie's climax will be during the hunter's moon
The silver is for plugging werewolves not plot holes
yo what if there's multiple werewolves and each of them did a murder or two? maybe this other cop is a werewolf too.
Cop: also a wolf
I have two wolves inside of me and they were both poorly written by Stephen King
@rickpelletier Full Body Werewolf was my other stripper name.
