is this A E S T H E T I C ?

#monsterdon #WrongWolf

@CactuarJoe I kind of think that says more about the town than the werewolf

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

That was like the werewolf movie equivalent of going to a fancy restaurant and getting a tiny amount of food in a giant plate

Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everybody for posting! See you next week (or maybe for this weirdness happening on @miru )

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

time for MIRU dot MIYAKU dot MEDIA .... the AFTERPARTY

#monsterdon #WrongWolf

@bstacey @phooky guess all we have left is PRIVATE JUSTICE #monsterdon

RE: https://mastodon.social/@floatybirb/116513966016824144

To clarify, it’s the Wolfpriest who turns into a hairy naked guy, not Marty

Thank heavens

#Monsterdon

That was fun! Goodnight, Monster people. :godzilla_cool:

#Monsterdon

@phooky Fortunately, the one cop is dead

#Monsterdon

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

#monsterdon #Silverbullet

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?

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

I was watching a vaporwave documentary before this and now I'm imagining this credits song slowed down and looped

#monsterdon #SilverBullet

Casting by Jeremy Ritzer. j'accuse.

#monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

@miru Everett McGill got two credits? One for the reverend and one for the werewolf.

#Monsterdon

🎶Here I am
It's me Marty
Me and my magic wheelchair
Killed that mean were-wolllllffffff🎶
#monsterdon

Another grossly creepy child romance brought to you by Stephen King #Monsterdon

Now… kiss!

#monsterdon #silverbullet1985

and the villain is defeated by a boy with a gun. how 1985 America.

#monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

Marty trying to catch the silver bullet

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

@Violinknitter like the offensive version of plot armor

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

Now is NOT the time to play spin the barrel, Marty. #Monsterdon

did we do it? is the movie over yet?

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

Amazing shrinking werewuff

#Monsterdon

Guys pro tip: You don't have to TOUCH your target with the gun barrel for the gun to be effective. It's not a cattle prod.

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

Busey can fly!

#Monsterdon

Jaws is here

#monsterdon #silverbullet1985

"What do you mean THEY killed the power? They're goddamn animals! game over man! Game over!"

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

Funny thing is that both the kids, Jane and Marty are Canadian actors. Usually that would mean that the movie was filmed in Canada, but it was filmed in North Carolina.

#Monsterdon

reload the gun maybe
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Alcoholism!

Werewolf likes to watch

#monsterdon #silverbullet1985

I recommend not letting your bait carry the gun

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

Did Parker Brothers ever make a werewolf game

#Monsterdon

don't wave that gun around
#Monsterdon

Garey Busey is so good w/ kids. I bet he was a good dad. #Monsterdon

HE SAID IT! HE SAID THE THING!

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

There is in fact no agreement among werewolf legends about why they shift, when they shift, how they shift, or what they're weak to. Some werewolves of legend don't even shift.

You can take it from me, your local soft werewolf.

#Monsterdon

Gary Busey's character is Joe Dirt's dad

#Monsterdon

Oh Silver Bullet.

Because of the werewolf.

Right.
#monsterdon

Gunsmith may well as put a "Werewolf special here" on his front window. #Monsterdon

Marty offers the uncle his necklace to turn into a silver bullet. We get an explanation for how the priest is wolfing out all the time - instead of what I thought, which is that every scene in this movie just takes place on a full moon, Marty suspects that a werewolf always wolfs out a little bit but wolfs out more when there's a full moon, and suspects that on a full moon the Wolfpriest turns 100% Wolf and 0% Priest.

#monsterdon

wtf just get a bunch of silver shrapnel and make a MFing IED

#monsterdon

So they're going to get 1 shot?

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

ok, that was pretty cool (the bullet making apparatus)

#monsterdon

He cast a bullet. That’s not exactly wizard level skill babe.

#Monsterdon

Tell you how? What are we, werewolfologists? How about we debate theory after we stop him from eating us."

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

@strangefour @miru me too

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

These guys watched the transformation sequence from An American Werewolf in London and said "Oh shit I dropped my beer oh god it's all over aww jeez even on the carpet awww man."

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

Surprisingly good transformation effects for 1985.

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

#monsterdon We've got googly-eyes, I repeat, googly eyes.

Hey y'all. Remember. Wolfman's got nards. #Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

#monsterdon All those empty bottles, at some point will be... recycled... right? Reverend Hoard-A-Lot-And-Growl?

I mean an antagonist who has deeply twisted logic is kinda the reason they're the antagonist right? I mean I'm not really gonna argue that.
#Monsterdon

We now join American Werewolf In New England, already in progress.

#monsterdon #SilverBullet

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985
4th amendment? what 4th amendment?

warrant? never heard of her.

#monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

Anyway Wolfpriest is about to kill Marty and make it look like an accident when Marty is saved by a passing tractor which he calls out to. The driver stops and becomes a witness so the Wolfpriest hides.

Anyway they tell the uncle and he believes it this time, so he tells the cops who do not believe it.

#monsterdon

"that is the craziest goddamn story I've heard in my life. and I watched Maximum Overdrive!"

#monsterdon

Yaaaaas attempted vehicular manslaughter, now we're talking. #monsterdon

okay, when i said problem solved about the suicide lady, i WAS joking.

#monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

Time for the offer. Lycanthropy cures paralysis, Marty. #Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

Yeah, this was definitely written by stephen king

#monsterdon

I was thinking that the priest didn't know that he was a werewolf, hence the dream, until now, which almost certainly implies he does know that he's a werewolf and is mad that a firework was shot at him in the eye by this kid.

#monsterdon

Marty freeze-frames as he jumps the river:

'Well now them Duke boys were in a whole heap of trouble."

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

reminds of E.T fo some reason
#Monsterdon

We get a scene were Marty watches some other kids playing baseball, perhaps wishing he could play baseball too without first constructing a battlemech.

The werewolf priest appears, counter-stalking Marty via his Wolfcar as Marty drives home and rams him into the side of the bridge (where we saw the firework display).

#monsterdon

Gas gauge on a wheelchair is very American. #Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

Reverand's internal monologue: "Okay seriously how fast is this kid's fucking wheelchair?"

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

Monoxides the were-priest to death with engine fumes....

#Monsterdon

🍌

#Monsterdon

Where are Sam and Dean Winchester when you really need them?

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

Does anyone else just love boxy 80s cars?

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

Deeply amused that the werewolf priest whistles "Amazing Grace" while he paints his church sign.

#monsterdon

Dunno why they think this is a good idea, but Marty and Jane decide to mail anonymous letters to the priest (made from cut out letters) so that the werewolf knows that they know he's a werewolf, which seems like a dumb idea to me. They tell the uncle they did this and he also thinks it's a dumb idea.

But then somehow the uncle agrees to help stalk the werewolf priests with them, so they park in a car and watch him paint a sign outside and argue with themselves.

#monsterdon

I'm beginning to thing Gary Busey is actually trying to get Marty and Janey killed. I love the Silver Bullet but you can't tell me that's safe in a kid's hands, and now he's ignoring clear signs of danger

#Monsterdon #Silverbullet1985

#monsterdon

I laughed at..

Unwraps face in the barber chair.
Got any bottles or cans?
NO.
Rewraps face.

Twinkly music continues..

Red!! #Monsterdon #SilverBullet #StephenKing 🐺🎥🍿

What is Busey adding to this film? Really? #Monsterdon

@blue Stephen King must have spent a considerable amount of time thinking that one up

#Monsterdon

"The Hardy Boys Meet Rev. Werewolf" Much better movie. #Monsterdon #SilverBullet

I think the only reason Gary Busey never did anything with The Muppets is that Jim Henson was jealous of the alien who pilots his body around. #monsterdon

So they're gonna...send him a Sternly Worded Letter like they're Chuck Schumer? Yeah THAT will work #Monsterdon

genuine lols at Corey's sass back at Busey

#Monsterdon

Jumped up bald headed Jesus what?

Does anybody talk like that but Busey and Were-Buseys?

#Monsterdon

🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️

⁉️ TRIVIA BULLET 🐺🌕🔫

Always Busey

In an interview, Terry O'Quinn (Sheriff Haller) recalled, "That was in Wilmington, North Carolina. With Gary Busey. Oh, my goodness.
[Laughs.]

He [Busey] said, "Let's go out and play football out on the beach!" And I said, "Okay." He said, "Okay, I'll meet you down there in five minutes!"
1/2

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985 #SilverBullet

If I had a nickel for everyone in Big Ed's family with an eyepatch, I'd have two nickels.

And that's when Marty & sister became Internet hooligans, bullying an innocent werewolf preacher.

#monsterdon #silverBullet

Blackmail him?
#Monsterdon

ah yes, when you could still write a proper ransom note.

#monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

Telescope is on a mount of doom 😔

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet1985

The werewolf by definition must be the best-shaven man in town
#Monsterdon

Told y'all the priest was a monster #monsterdon

I recycled my soda bottles this week and got enough for a bbq chicken, bacon, onion pie from Lenzini's. #monsterdon

Oh the priest is a monster who tears apart little boys?

…

Y'all can make the joke. I just upset myself trying to write it.

#SilverBullet #Monsterdon

@cd0 it's like, did they have to run errands or something? lol #Monsterdon

A garage full of unbroken glass is a fun place for kids to play. #Monsterdon

STILGAR IS A WEREWOLF!

#Monsterdon

@faoluin I kinda think everyone did

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

Of course it's the priest. This is a Stephen King movie!

#Monsterdon #SilverBullet

you don't have to zoom in for us to be able to tell someone has two eyes

#monsterdon

Alright. No more Pluto movies. 😠
#monsterdon

literally everyone in town suddenly has an eyepatch
