A town where nobody locked their doors, and tickets for the lynchin' only cost a nickel

#Monsterdon

Logging in late just in time to see a head fly through the air. Nice. #Monsterdon

A town where people cared about each other... except Arnie Westriom, fuck that guy.

#monsterdon #SilverBullet

This movie was a head of its time.

#monsterdon
#SilverBullet1985

We have already had a dramatic beheading, so that’s… um, good? Bad?

Bloody

#Monsterdon

Annnnnd, he scores!

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

hate it when that happens.

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

why would the werewolf leave bigfoot tracks tho?

#monsterdon

@catzilla I'm going to mooch off your root post here tonight if you don't mind?
Will untag you after this.

(our local timeline is somewhat sparse and I don't want to overwhelm it with public posts, replies to other servers won't show up there)

#Monsterdon

Rhinegeist got him

#monsterdon #silverbullet1985

The killing had begun
#Monsterdon

It's nothing to lose your head over, buddy.

#Monsterdon

That's a moon orientation

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

The timeless labor of sweeping debris off of railroad tracks. #Monsterdon

oh he wrote the screenplay for this one too

#monsterdon

It’s mentioning Rheingold, so I expect this to be Wagnerianly over the top

#Monsterdon

Landshark

#monsterdon #SilverBullet

love the dinky little rail car

#Monsterdon

Your long nightmare began that night? Did you vote in Regan?

#monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

Everett McGill? Big Ed Hurley is in this?

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

The moon keeps shrinking, the air must be really cold.
#monsterdon

Is the werewolf going to be wearing black gloves

#Monsterdon

Oh wow Corey Haim and Locke from Lost!

#monsterdon #SilverBullet

okay, the in-movie title art doesn't have a bullet at all, and the poster's bullet is actually silver. I SEE.

#monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

And we’re off. Time for some 80s “scary” shenanigans with #SilverBullet

#Monsterdon

Ah the plaintive sound of the glockenspiel

#monsterdon #SilverBullet

the pan flute tells me everything is Going To Be All Right

#monsterdon

Starring Gary Busey, a man who enters every room teeth first. #monsterdon

#monsterdon

good night #monsterdon folks! it's 3am in italy and i am *not* staying up for this tonight <3 ;)

will watch it when i'm home and awake ;)

#Monsterdon is starting!!! Quick, mute me or mute the tag, or see waaayyy too much about a 1980s werewolf movie

(I think. I just show up for the silly toots)

Anyway, I don't know anything about this movie but I will be rooting for the werewolf.

#Monsterdon

@JanineFromPgh hi Janine! always good to see you! #monsterdon

Silver Bullet
*puts gold-colored bullet in title art*

I see. so it's that kind of movie, is it.

#monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

@Lazarou

Yeah, but it's too late now, probably take me 15-30 minutes. (Still might try it)

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

Let’s go!

#monsterdon #Silverbullet

If I’ve learned anything from Stephen King, it’s this: do not, under any circumstances, go to Maine.

#Monsterdon

for the record, Point Break was released in 1991 — same year Badmotorfinger was released

along many, many other groundbreaking albums

it’s a long, fabulous list

#Monsterdon
#MonsterdonDoubleFeature

I'm sick of looking at reality the way I usually do. It just sucks.

I wana look at reality the way these videos do.

I'm serious.

Shrimp and Fries.

#monsterdon #WrongWolf

If you want to recover from the #monsterdon movie this week, I recommend going out to see "Hokum". It's a great, creepy horror movie. All mood. No gore.

if we imagine Aaliyah is singing to that woman surfer, then this movie ALMOST passes the Bechdel test

#monsterdon #WrongWolf

Does @ryan inject LSD straight into an HDMI cable, or is there more to it?

#monsterdon #monstermiru

I think this was one of our better-paced #Monsterdon experiences. It held my attention better than Maximum Overdrive. Maybe not the *most* rollicking, and certainly not the top tier in overall quality, but it'd be a good easy introduction to group riffing, unlike Vampire(s) of Bikini Beach and that lot.

Well, this is Alpha Control congratulating the launch crew on another movie successfully launched into space where it belongs. Preacher Biteybite can howl at the moon all he wants to and we won't have to put up with it ever again. And thanks again to @Taweret for hosting! ^_^

#monsterdon #SilverBullet1985 #BadWhuf1985

hey I learned to surf when I was in grad school

#monsterdon #WrongWolf

Very silly movie but didn't dislike it either #monsterdon

OMG. Point Break meets Twin Peaks. 💕
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨 > 💀 ? 🐺 ! = 😱

We were out of sync and there were no real wolves but thanks to @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for excellent custom-stamp bingo, @JoeWynne for Busey and non-Busey trivia, but most of all, thanks to all you #Monsterdonians for making it fun

Well, I liked it.

Had a very 70s-Stephen-King-movie vibe. 🙂

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

If only #GaryBusey had a couple of mischievous kids to help him fight the #Predator. 😖

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

dang, that bank heist scene was something else....

#monsterdon #WrongWolf

I feel like maybe Uncle Steph wasn't doing quite enough cocaine for this script. #Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

@miru WTF is going on?

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

Jay Chattaway did the music for tonight's #Monsterdon, #SilverBullet. You may know some of his other work (TL;DR – lots of music in multiple Star Trek series)

https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Jay_Chattaway

The GenX childhood take away - The Drunkle is gonna get you all the illegal things you need in life.

#monsterdon

This music / video is unironically awesome.

This toot is a reaction to the Monsterdon livestream playing right now at https://miru.miyaku.media ! You can mute the #Monsterdon hashtag to silence these toots from me.

@wulfric Not now. Stephen King, not Steven Tyler. #Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

btw, this is pairing beautifully on mute with Heart of the Sunrise by Yes filling the void…
#Monsterdon

I can imagine that a submarine might have a few wire mesh doors, for security purposes, actually. #Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

@faoluin @Taweret I'm wondering how they did the transformation #monsterdon

I think maybe three silver bullets, instead of just one, next time around. Goognight all.

#monsterdon
#SilverBullet1985

Final score for me
#monsterdon #silverbullet1985

I feel like there could have been a few more different kinds of silver bullets jammed in here. Coors American lager in a can. Chromed Shikansen train. Albino cow named Ed. #Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

@moira 🎉

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

y'know in retrospect I probably *would* have liked to watch one of the commentary tracks for that movie

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

oh, and bingo ^_^

#monsterdon #SilverBullet1985 #BadWhuf1985

And I just realized that I mentioned @miru in my last 7 posts, by accident. Sorry!

#Monsterdon

Welp...silver bullet. Great aim. Dead dog.

THE END

TFW the title is the spoiler. And Gary Busey as the kinda hero. All kinds if WTF here but pretty fun. Thanks for another hairy #Monsterdon @Taweret !

Just one more thing. Can you please amplify my survival post pinned to my profile? It's past due, fees hit tomorrow. Thank you all #Monsterdon #ColumboTV

#monsterdon
#SilverBullet1985

The squeal is when the parents get home and go crazy.

Thanks for a lovely hang folks! Thanks @Taweret for organizing and @miru for hosting 💖

#Monsterdon #Silverbullet1985

@miru I didn’t have a #MonsterdonBingo, but I really did enjoy that. I’m a sucker for anything Stephen King writes, though.

As always, thanks to @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for the bingo card, @JoeWynne for the drink recipe and trivia, @ryan for the live stream, @paco for data analysis at https://gallery.don.monster, @combatwombat for the replay, and all of you for making it awesome!

#Monsterdon

So what's the vibe on this Maxim Overvibe Point HTML return?

#monsterdon #MonsterMiru

This was fun! Thanks @Taweret for hosting as always!

#monsterdon #SilverBullet

But what of the recycling?

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

Also thanks @miru for holding all together for us tonight!

#Monsterdon

And that's a wrap! Honestly it feels like a change of pace to have any characters at all who aren't awful and unlikable. The wolf mask was *not good* but it wasn't too bad! Very very Stephen King though.

Goodnight #monsterdon and see y'all next week!

Wait...

These people are named "Coslaw"?

#Monsterdon

Ah, the North Carolina part of Maine. #Monsterdon

@yatsu Violently ripped back to 1985. #monsterdon

And they fucked off into some Gump music playing as the credits roll.

“Life is like a box of silver bullets…”

Suddenly changes to some lame ass “joyride” 80s pop-synth crap with a pan flute?

I’m not okay with this.

#Monsterdon

Did this movie have a music budget? #Monsterdon

At least there's no way this can get worse, right??
End Credits Music Lyrics: "You thought what, bitch" #Monsterdon

I made it to the priest lurching up from the grave before realizing I was out of sync, and synced up to the credits lol

Did I miss anything?

#Monsterdon #Silverbullet1985

Surprisingly good for a Monsterdon movie!

...kinda disappointing in a way.

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

It souns like a Lisa Frank stationary

#monsterdon #SilverBullet

Freeze frame ending. John Hughes?

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet1955

Duran Duran - Hungry Like the Wolf

Werewolf attacks bring people together. #Monsterdon

Was she giving Marty's eulogy the whole time? #Monsterdon

what is this song

#monsterdon

A classic #Monsterdon abrupt ending

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

All the sacchariness of an over-sweetened coffee at a Micky Ds at 5am.

Yeeech.

#Monsterdon #Silverbullet1985

Aw, sibling tension resolves right at the end. Bet no one was expecting that. #Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

hum, no ocean despite being set on the coast, kind of disappointing, but I guess I'll live.

Thanks again @Taweret !!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon
#SilverBullet1985

So,... what happens now? they call the police from the next county over and try to explain why there's a naked priest shot in the eye in their living room?

#monsterdon

A wizard of weapons, you say?

#monsterdon Not the worst ending. A little Calgon/Palmolive but not awful.

Credits roll on Silver Bullet, not a dry eye in the house. #monsterdon
