mst3k version encore, eh...

#monsterdon

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

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

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,

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

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

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

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

Thank goodness this song is back. #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

And they lived happily ever after ...

#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

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

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

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

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

@foolishowl one of the lucky ones #Monsterdon

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

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

Are these...kamikaze bats?!

#Monsterdon

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

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

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

#Monsterdon 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 😱

OK, good news. finally.

@Louisa hot rod hot dog #monsterdon

@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

@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

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

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

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

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

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

No bats, don't sacrifice yourself, he's not worth it!

#monsterdon

What?

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Are they attcking the cop car or just shitting on it???

#Monsterdon

This movie was literally over 25 minutes ago, but the producer was, like, "We need 90 minutes to show it in a theater! Give me 90 minutes!"

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

#Monsterdon so… we're *supposed* to be cheering for the bat.dude, right?

Because surely we're not on SA Cop's side here…

Oh my God! The bats are throwing ketchup and mustard on my car!!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "oh my god! they're attacking us!" wtf? i guess

The Birds but The Bats. Wait wasn't that also a movie?
#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

@cargot_robbie Could be worse!

#Monsterdon

Someone's throwing ketchup packets at the car. #Monsterdon

That's right, when you have zero visibility, just KEEP DRIVING at the SAME SPEED. Everything will be JUST FINE.

#monsterdon

Black confetti thrown across the screen (matted) and wed're supposed to think they're bats.

Meanwhile, his wife is turning into the Bat Queen.

#Monsterdon #BatPeople

ROLL STOCK FOOTAGE.

#monsterdon

Bats! They're in your schools, your places of worship, your ski resort towns! Could the next bat be... YOU??

#monsterdon

@kshernandez more like BAT to hell

(sorry)

#monsterdon

I just realized I haven't actually been watching this movie for the last fifteen minutes.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

@josh0 Checks out

It could also be sheer stupidity but we don't talk about that

#Monsterdon

do they turn full on into bats? can they fly? or are they just kinda hairy and erratic #monsterdon

Bats. Say. ACAB.

#monsterdon #theBatPeople

My computer got too bored and crashed lol. Looks like I'm finishing this one the way I started: reading toots with no context #Monsterdon

TO THE BAT CAVE!

#Monsterdon

And now for the Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom footage part of our film. #monsterdon

i think the bats are supposed to be like, psychic-echolocating-hivemind with our bat people

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 😱

more stock footage of bats and I'm delighted to see it tbh

Wait, was that a Joshua tree? #monsterdon
