They are really Chekhoving the fireworks

"I know writers who use [subtlety] and they are all cowards"

#Monsterdon

His uncle turns into a werewolf only to be killed by the fireworks he gave his nephew, thus setting up The Ironic Conclusion #monsterdon

What an ominous & heavily reinforced plant trellis #Monsterdon

It's an M80 make sure to throw it real far after you light it
#Monsterdon

"Kid, I love you, so here's some dangerous shit that will probably kill you"

#Monsterdon

lol
#Monsterdon

Stick 'em in the bushes, with that porn stash I gave you last time.

#monsterdon

why is he trying to kill this kid?

#monsterdon

Is Red instructing Marty to attack the werewolf w/ pyrotechnics? #Monsterdon

@JanineFromPgh Thanks! I think I need to draw a flow chart to keep track of this one.

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

@GroupNebula563 At this point I'll take it

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

and the fam just says... nothing at all? dang.

#monsterdon

"I've gotta go, I've got people to werewolf to death." #monsterdon

Red's dead, baby #Monsterdon

Is that thing {primitive, rural, back-road}-legal?

(Extra points if it _doesn't kill the werewolf.)

#monsterdon
#SilverBullet

"Pork tartare dinner" OK, that was funny.

#Monsterdon

You know it's a sh!thole town when the Gary Busey Drunk Loser Uncle is the most decent person around #Monsterdon

@Lazarou It’s 58℉ in Nashville, in May, which is wild.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

I kinda liked that dream sequence.. tbh.

🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️

⁉️ TRIVIA BULLET 🐺🌕🔫

The bar that the mob gathers in before searching for the werewolf is called "Owen's Bar". Stephen King has a son named Owen.

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985 #SilverBullet

now he see whats he has done after the fact . sheesh Gary

#Monsterdon

I seems like that thing should have been gifted with a helmet included. #Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

This movie really could have used some fireworks. #monsterdon

Then he hit a tree and died because he wasn't wearing a helmet. The End. #Monsterdon #SilverBullet

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985
This new wheel chair... can overtake trucks on the open road. I'm sure there's no way that will end badly.

The kid is going to end up ramming the werewolf with that vehicle, right?

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

These synthesizers are not doing what I think they want. #Monsterdon

y'know

points to uncle busey

that's actually pretty cool

#monsterdon #SilverBullet1985 #BadWhuf1985

Correct answer to the trivia poll:

The reverend's werewolf dream took 70 extras!

They were divided up into four groups with various levels of make-up and costume.

Approximately ten principal actors were used for close-ups and action shots, having the most refined looks.

#Monsterdon

Name... shown?

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

Wow the ad density on Pluto is out of control. #monsterdon

Aren't those killers just so annoying? First they kill my friend, now the carnival is canceled?? That's where I draw the line!!
#Monsterdon

Sure, it's cheesy but at least everyone involved seems to have been aware they were making a movie, and I haven't had to see Schwarzenegger in a toga, so it's all upside #Monsterdon

@trixter how dare they close the beaches

#monsterdon

Seriously, though. It probably really is the time to be leaving town.

#Monsterdon

Watching Marty get towed down the street on his riding lawnmower makes more sense when you remember that Blue Velvet is happening simultaneously on the other side of town. #monsterdon

Well that's a twist. Werewolf town's folk after a foggy forest mauling.
Oh it was all a dream... :(
#Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

there's nothing in the rulebook says a furry can't be saved by our lord jesus christ

#monsterdon

Oops all werewolves

#monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

Hey, they're doing the Monster Mash, neat :D #monsterdon

Zombie werewolves! (sort of)

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

Oh jeez the priest is tripping balls huh?

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

Gary got in the moonshine , im calling it
#Monsterdon

... dude, private justice is what got all those folks killed

#monsterdon

#monsterdon
They look like they're ready to be raptured

To be fair, it would be hard to see a bear trap like this.

#monsterdon

"It's hard...."
Ok man, TMI
#Monsterdon

"I'm hard, uh, it's hard, at a time like this"

#monsterdon #SilverBullet1985 #BadWhuf1985

Why are they swaying? What the fuck kind of a church is this? #SilverBullet #Monsterdon

What an amazingly quick "murder to funeral" they had in the 80s. Surely they'd want to do autopsies?

#monsterdon

Am I the only one who thinks the hard sudden cuts to the funerals are more funny than surprising?😂
#Monsterdon

there's a lot of parallax in this church hymn

#monsterdon

WTF?! They’re swaying back-and-forth to Amazing Grace at a funeral?

#Monsterdon

When you're singing Amazing Grace and the molly kicks in. #monsterdon

coffin-maker's doing gangbuster business

and they say electing werewolves is bad for the economy

i got receipts here that say different

#monsterdon #SilverBullet1985 #BadWhuf1985

So, Ebert gave this a "Thumb's Up" review, thinking it was a comedy.

#Monsterdon

Well that ended well. #Monsterdon

vespers at Our Lady of the Human Metronomes

#monsterdon

@phooky conversely if i were a werewolf i'd hire the mummy and dracula to dress up in fur and attack people on other day of the month to fake everyone out

#monsterdon

They are really pulling out every trick to keep us from getting a head to toe shot of a creature effect with a lot of time-consuming makeup. #Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

[Smash cut to mass funeral]

#monsterdon #silverbullet1985

LOL the multiple coffins

#monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

now the *crowd* is out of tune

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

oh my god, smash cut to the funeral. i don't know, this movie.

#monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

Lmfao the werewolf used the bat 🤣🤣🤣

#monsterdon #SilverBullet #MonsterMiru

So that's one bear trap and... 3 dead guys we can blame on listening to the grief-stricken father?

#Monsterdon

And of course, the guy who roused the rabble is the first to run.

As always.

#SilverBullet #Monsterdon

"Back that thing up, Andy! Real slow" #Monsterdon

the fog's from that rave they're holding in the woods

#monsterdon

Brought a baseball bat to a werewolf hunt. That guy has some moxie.

#monsterdon
#SilverBullet1985

What if the fediverse decided to cooperate to search the woodlands for a werewolf?

#monsterdon

Black dude dies... third

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

who put all these fog machines out here

#monsterdon

"It's under the fog!"

'What're you sayin?"

"That it's... under ... the fog?"

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

Suddenly this movie became The Mist

#Monsterdon

Untrustworthy fog

#monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

[alien detector beeping noises]

#monsterdon #SilverBullet1985 #BadWhuf1985

I told you we couldn't trust this fog!

Right, it's the fog's fault.

#monsterdon

"Ya gonna make lemonade in your pants?" damn near had me spitting my drink😂
#Monsterdon

I think a guy should step on a rake in the forest next. That'd really heighten the tension. #monsterdon

“You gonna make lemonade in your pants?”

#Monsterdon

Hunting at night with guys from the town bar carries some red flags but I'm sure everything will be OK
#Monsterdon

Cha-cha-cha Ah-ah-ah

#monsterdon #silverbullet1985

Oh I guess those are some #bingos

#monsterdonBing #monsterdon #SilverBullet #MonsterMiru

form Testudo!

#monsterdon

"Skirmish line" is the first good idea anybody's had all movie, too bad it's just "still bunched up, but in a line instead of a huddle."

#monsterdon

Make lemonade in your pants?

What’s WRONG with you!

#Monsterdon

@pngwen
Right behind ya!

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet #MonsterdonBingo

there’s nothing quite like a Stephen King movie to make you embarrassed to have ever read a Stephen King novel #monsterdon #silverbullet1985

#monsterdon You know I wonder why they're all so sure the killer is human?

They do have bears in Maine.

"Andy I'm scared! Can you regale us with some more of your one-liners? The one's with radioactivity are the best!"

#monsterdon

Oh Steven King, why do you write these stories?
#Monsterdon
#SilverBullet1985

stephen king's silver beartrap

#monsterdon

What the heck, people? Yesterday's #KungFuSat had a bear trap catch a character's leg, and now tonight's #monsterdon has one, too??

What is going on? That's 100% of the bear traps I've seen in the last year, on the same weekend.

I shouldn't be laughing at the guy getting his foot caught in a bear trap, but here we are
#SilverBullet #Monsterdon

I'm apparently being forced to watch a promo for the movie Carrie? Did I mention I've never used Pluto TV before an hour ago?
#Monsterdon

Bear trap prop comedy!
#Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

Bear trap. Chekov’s bear trap?

#Monsterdon

Who the fuck leaves these goddamn bear traps just lying around

#Monsterdon

lmao

#monsterdon
