Ahh, and we end with Shirley Bassey. #Monsterdon

No batta, no batta, no batta #monsterdon

I, for one, am glad it’s over. #monsterdon

that one was surprisingly gross! thanks everyone, s/o @Taweret and @ryan !

#monsterdon

Yes! The bats are the method, but Cathy killed him

#monsterdon

Well... at least they get to be together?

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople #MoreLikeBatPersonButWhatever

Okay. That’s it. That’s the movie.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

#Monsterdon why are the bats making Birdemic noises?

Bingo acquired but not until the last minute!

(I bet I could have checked off "Bad foley sounds" at some point but I didn't really notice)

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

Well that was a thing

Have a great week everyone thanks @Taweret #monsterdon #thebatpeople1974

Yeesh #monsterdon

"stay back!" i'm a monster

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

i didn't even really watch it and i know that for sure #monsterdon

Oh carp, Spawn of Slithis is autoplaying. Make it stop!
#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

and we close on that weird ass song.

ok.

I did not really like this movie.

#monsterdon

Where's Doc Bat? Is he a full-time man-bat in the cave now? When did Cathy embrace the Bat Queen in herself?

#Monsterdon #BatPeople

The End, I guess.

#Monsterdon

Please tell me no bats were harmed in the filming of this disaster.
#Monsterdon

mst3k version encore, eh...

#monsterdon

So close to cover all... That movie was never going to Bechtel Pass. #monsterdon #TheBatPeople

it's not a movie i would recommend to anyone ever but it's nice to see the monsters get a happy ending

#monsterdon

So ends another #Monsterdon. We give our heartiest thanks to @Taweret for hosting and to everyone posting and lurking. And remember #Monsterdoners: Oh, God, turn it off. Please, turn it off.

I think this film should do what they did in Cat Girl and remove the main character via offscreen vehicle incident posthaste #monsterdon

what the entire fuck

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

and they lived battily ever after!

#monsterdon

If Matthew McConaughey and Pedro Pascal had a baby, he'd be the guy who played this cop.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

And they fucked off into that godawful song.

#Monsterdon

I suppose it was nice that it was Cathy who got to sic the bats on the evil sheriff

We have some semblance of a revenge arc, I'm impressed

#Monsterdon

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's feature, #TheBatPeople from 1974, would have been better with actual, you know, Bat People. Instead, we got,

#Monsterdon theyr attacking us! The tomatoes are attacking my car!

Damnit, sheriff, fire that gun so I can get a bingo! #monsterdon

Cathy wants some more of that sweet funky bat stuff.

#Monsterdon 🦇 #TheBatPeople

And they lived battily ever after. #monsterdon

The power of the night!
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 😱

um

all that just for him to be the one to kill himself
like finish the job bats damn #Monsterdon #theBatPeople

#Monsterdon back to the opening credits song <3

And she fucks off to the cave. The End.

#Monsterdon #BatPeople

Can I call the sheriff blowing his head off "A Happy Ending" for Bingo?

#monsterdon
#TheBatPeople

And they fucked off into ... the Carlsbad Caverns? #Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Thank goodness this song is back. #monsterdon #TheBatPeople

And they lived happily ever after ...

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Main character reveals a compelling Kurt Cobain impression. That's a new power right? #Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

Now the love theme from Bat People.
#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Smells like teen spirit in here. #monsterdon

He is not a Bat People. He is a Manbat.

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

"Angel of Fear (Love theme from The Bat People)"

#monsterdon

Wow this is graphic #monsterdon #thebatpeople1974

Yes, the cop was a bastard, but you didn't have to do that movie. He could have 'just' died in the attack

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

the subtitles assure me that this song is called Angel of Fear... #monsterdon

Aww I love the little bat on his trigger hand happily nibbling away. He's like a Critter with wings.
#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Must be near the end, the singer is back.

#Monsterdon #BatPeople

"...I missed." #Monsterdon

makin' a move without consent, YOU GET THE BATZsssss
#monsterdon

Nibbled to death #monsterdon

Sick

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

oh hey, they managed an actual death scene. I thought they were not capable.

#monsterdon

why does that bat screetch like an eagle? #monsterdon

@bunnyhero you win!
#Monsterdon

THAT'S A GOOSE CALL, YOU...*$)&I@&#$^(#&

#monsterdon #theBatPeople

Why does that bat sound like a TV/movie eagle? #monsterdon

Looks like we might have some bat people, not just bat person
#Monsterdon

@jonny that was on the bat section of my written driving test

#monsterdon

the bat sounds like... is that a monkey screech?

#monsterdon

@ramsey

It was an STD!

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

Dave Sindelar (Fantastic Movie Musings and Ramblings) said the film was "forgettable" with a "leisurely pace" and an overuse of close-ups.

#Monsterdon 🦇 #TheBatPeople

so it wasn't the doctor killing people all along? he just sort of led people to the bats and the bats did it? it more just seems like they are sorta bat-aligned people and not bat people #monsterdon

@foolishowl one of the lucky ones #Monsterdon

I feel real bad for that one close up bat. Clearly wings are being held by force and bat is struggling. Wild animals do not want to be in the movies. #monsterdon

ARE THEY MAKING STOCK FALCON NOISES NOW!?

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Did Stan make the -- why the fuck did that bat just screech like a Pteradon? -- Did Stan also make the little flapping bat puppets?
#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Bat attack for real this time with 2 minutes to go. #Monsterdon

In my defense, I was trying to find a video clip of Lazlo and Nadja having sex while transformed into bats in What We Do in the Shadows. But unsuccessfully.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Cue Stock Bat Footage

#Monsterdon

he's an asshole so i hope he miraculously survives that for a couple hours

#monsterdon

That's twice the sheriff has gotten stuck in sand. And the Bat Queen steps out, leaving the door open so the bats can kill the sheriff with the extended death by a thousand bites to organ music.

#Monsterdon #BatPeople

Fly! Fly my Pretties!

#Monsterdon

Bigass cowboy hat isn't gonna save you now, bitch. #Monsterdon

Are these...kamikaze bats?!

#Monsterdon

It was the 70s, cars got stuck in shit all the time. I'm not even joking.

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

@Louisa hot rod hot dog #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 😱

OK, good news. finally.

@josh0 @GeoffWozniak hahaha fair

The thought crossed my mind briefly but I wanted to see if I could not go there

#Monsterdon

Callback:

Don't play chicken with the bat(s)

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Seems like it would be difficult to integrate into bat culture if you couldn't fly.

@CactuarJoe Green guano packets! Hahaha I love their attack. And then she let them in! #Monsterdon #TheBatPeople I kind of love this ending.

they're not making it to valley lodge

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

I see it, now, his wife is going to become a bat woman!

This is the best possible ending of this movie.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

when your visibility is impaired, for example due to a windshield full of bats, you are supposed to pull over until it is safe to drive again #monsterdon

YES!!!!
#Monsterdon

Paging Dr. Beat... emergency emergency #monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Remember all the shows where cops can’t drive?

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

I was convinced for about half that special effect that the bat attack was guano

#monsterdon

If she turned into a bat and killed the Sargent, who by the way she shouldn't be in a car with, THAT would at least be something. #Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

this is what they talk about when they talk about driving in the 70s

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Feel the force of our guano! #monsterdon

You'd think the futility of wiper-ing off the bat poop would have become apparent at some point

#Monsterdon

yayy, cop dies by bat attack!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 😱

NOT THE BATS stop! They're not attacking you you're squishing them
