"OH NO we've wandered out of the woods, into a kung fu stage set, tight walls & fog, & we're gonna die!"

<indeterminate time later>

White people singing "Amazing Grace", doing the wave. Oh god, this IS the scariest movie.

OK, Big Ed, tell us about great deals on comfort.

100% A+ special effects on the monster mob. Like, everything else sucks.

There's, like, 6+ deaths this summer? Why aren't the FBI all over this?

What we're looking for is under the fog! I think we're in an old Cinemax movie, Andy!

I'm not much of a hunter but I do have... certain skills, and one of them is knowing that hunting all bunched up is a great way to shoot somebody you don't intend to after you catch or see nothing at all.

Cast of characters in this , so far...

Narrator Childe (resents her brother)
Wheelchair Brother (is a jerk)
Climbing Boy (I missed his name and his relevance to anything)
Bickering Parents (1 boy parent, 1 girl parent)
Drunk Track Raking Guy (RIP)
Werewolf (awoo)

We learn that the narrator is currently a teenage girl in this movie but is narrating it from the far future, so I guess she survives but a lot of other people will die. She starts her story by complaining about her brother who bullied her with a snake.

Maybe's she'll end up as a werewolf and eat her family, who can say?

Some movies are like "we are gonna hide this monster as long as is humanly possible" and then this one is like "bam werewolf hahahahahaha!"

Launching my thread for Silver Bullet (1985) - a movie which I think involves a werewolf. Which is a human that turns into a wolf for reasons. As opposed to a warewolf, which is probably a wolf that sells things.

Anyway, monsterdon is the thing where we watch a monster movie every week and provide quality commentary. You may wish to mute the hash tag if you don't want to see many a post about this topic by me and others. If not, um... enjoy and awoooo???

A Stephen King movie would not have been my first choice, but I keep managing to miss the polls somehow.

I used to have a friend who made me watch obscure Stephen King movies, and I've *still* never heard of this one.

The sequel to Silver Bullet features an entire town full of werewolves and a silver bullet machine gun. Also, a silver bat with the words Lunar Avenger carved on it.

Presumably uncle Busey shoots the werewolf using the only silver bullet in 1000 miles. Good thing there happened to be a silversmith gun-nut in town, who was apparently willing to work pro-bono??

And as the werewolf sets gently in the west, we end our broadcast day and thank you for joining us here, on Werewolf Light FM.

As always there's just one last thing to do before you leave the theater:

Was Stephen King's SILVER BULLET (1985) the WORST #monsterdon movie of the year?

Ok this was bad but in a fun way at least. Thatโ€™s why I like my 80s Stephen King adaptations. Theyโ€™re bad but good bad.
Thank you all who chose this, @Taweret for organizing and everyone who joined. Awooo!

As we listen to the banging credits music, I just have to say thank you for hosting @Taweret, and thank you to everyone for the wonderful watch party!

This was probably the eightiest movie that ever eightied, but also not nearly as scary as I remember. I suppose not being 11 years old kind of hurt the film's effect on me?

Back in the 1980s wood panel room, we are watching TV when Jane thinks she saw a werewolf outside, that the Uncle looks for but doesn't see, and then thinks the kids are joshing him so he removes the bullet. Then the werewolf appears, slapping the gun out of his hand and we get a classic Monster Vs Furniture Vs Children fight.
