No bats, don't sacrifice yourself, he's not worth it!
What?
Are they attcking the cop car or just shitting on it???
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 so⦠we're *supposed* to be cheering for the bat.dude, right?
Because surely we're not on SA Cop's side hereβ¦
Oh my God! The bats are throwing ketchup and mustard on my car!!
#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!
Someone's throwing ketchup packets at the car. #Monsterdon
It's raining bats!
That's right, when you have zero visibility, just KEEP DRIVING at the SAME SPEED. Everything will be JUST FINE.
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.
ROLL STOCK FOOTAGE.
Bats! They're in your schools, your places of worship, your ski resort towns! Could the next bat be... YOU??
I just realized I haven't actually been watching this movie for the last fifteen minutes.
do they turn full on into bats? can they fly? or are they just kinda hairy and erratic #monsterdon
Bats. Say. ACAB.
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!
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 π¦ π§βπ€βπ§ π¦ π§βπ€βπ§ π¦ π§βπ€βπ§ π±
more stock footage of bats and I'm delighted to see it tbh
Wait, was that a Joshua tree? #monsterdon
I hate the sheriff, but I kind of have a weird level of affection for his shitbox dodge policemobile. All those clunks and screeches. #Monsterdon
AAAAIIIIIEEEE #monsterdon #thebatpeople1974
All bats were injured while making this film. #Monsterdon
His face is beat to hell! #monsterdon
the car shudders a little, and blood splatters across the sherrif's window. Bat Spouse has had her revenge! #monsterdon
that's right, we're gonna get Lady Bat in FIVE MINUTES.
Kill! Kill!
hope she kills the cop
#monsterdon
His black eye is probably the best special effects makeup in the film. #monsterdon
@kcarr2015 nana nana nana nana nana nana nana nana man-bat
lady, pretend you're gonna kiss him and then bat-drool on his OTHER eye! #monsterdon
#Monsterdon π¦ π§βπ€βπ§ π¦ π§βπ€βπ§ π¦ π§βπ€βπ§ π±
oh no it's her dangit
Filming locations A+++, FR
Sexually transmitted disease?
Wow, the motel manager was way creepier than Bat-Husband.
Personally, I'd scrunch his brow down more and enlarge the ears so he reads more as a bat.
She's grown a mustache
sheriff did get a decent-quality beatdown, it's not enough but it's something
She's praying to Saint Se-BAT-stian #Monsterdon
c'mon doc, call your little flying mice friends to help you!
#monsterdon
#Monsterdon there's nothing wrong with her! she's just standing by her bat-husband
So Winston showed up for one day, put a bat nose on a gorilla mask, took the money and RAN. #Monsterdon #TheBatPeople
@bunnyhero Well, he's probably dead inside... #Monsterdon
Johnny come back! Finish the job! This gigantic-small desert-mountain town needs to be free from its one (horrible, rapist) cop. #monsterdon
FINALLY
Though he looks a bit more like a gorilla than a bat tbh, the ears aren't big enough and he doesn't even have wings
We got people (who are bats).
@jadebees He's a five cup a day bat. #monsterdon
#Monsterdon can... can she hear his echolocation?
#Monsterdon π¦ π§βπ€βπ§ π¦ π§βπ€βπ§ π¦ π§βπ€βπ§ π±
OK cop's gonna also be bat people maybe
is...this a Thriller prequel?
The bats are calling to her now!
I blame everyone who voted for this movie. You all have terrible taste. π€£
So since he spared his wife, does that mean 'the beast' can discern people and has free will, in which case Johnny is full on murdery
All things considered, I'd rather be watching Krull. #monsterdon
Cathy is trying way too hard to make nice. She ought to snap and kick some ass #monsterdon
#Monsterdon ah yes, a chase through badly lit cave sets. I'm enthralled.π
#Monsterdon remember when we were excited that we saw Stan Winston in the credits?
I think the motel manager running towards the screaming counts as bravery, for bingo purposes. #monsterdon
I'm not really paying attention to the movie as I'm doing some other stuff, but did we just see a bat transformation mid sex kink from some furry director?
"i don't know what happened"
you got the shit kicked out of you, dude, that's what happened. #monsterdon
I love how the bat mask looks like something that gone wrong on the fx dept of "planet of the apes"
#monsterdon
it took me the entire movie to realize the wibbly wobbly noises were supposed to be spontaneous echolocation
i have been kinda tuned out but in the absence of a monster to root for i am rooting for bats in general, both the concept and the taxon #monsterdon
firearms in caves is such a *bad* idea.
@ramsey @RobynGoodfellow In Monsterdon-world let's say yes
and they wanted bill shatner for the sheriff
#monsterdon it's Robert Downey jr
I've seen better bat furry designs. Just saying.
...he doesn't even have wings. Like what #monsterdon #thebatpeople1974
@tankgrrl @Taweret A ski resort vacation was interrupted! #Monsterdon
Look everyone, this was a drive-in movie. Doesn't matter that nothing happened. We weren't really watching it at the time.
Okay so he could always hear bats. So he was always a bat person. he just went into this cave and got rabies. What are the chances?
#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople
Well at least we now have a creature and not just implications of a creature.
SHE HAS ACQUIRED THE BAT SENSE
70s cop, yeah
just gonna beat this perp with my light, man
OH SHIT PERP WENT GORILLA MASK MODE
@yatsu Not near as bad as that sheriff, though. #Monsterdon #TheBatPeople
@diazona @RobynGoodfellow Didn't Hillary Clinton have one of those? The National Enquirer said so.
batman should have grabbed the sherrif's AK. #monsterdon
"Yeah, I was assaulting a suspect and then Doctor Zaeus beat the shit out of me." #Monsterdon
Do Bat people drool excessively? #Monsterdon
@Taweret Even Laserblast understood its premise and tried to deliver it #monsterdon
batsliva?
JOHNNY HAS GONE FULL BAT FINALLY! :ameowbongo: #Monsterdon
SOCK - WHAM - POW #monsterdon #TheBatPeople
Best. Monster. Design. Ever.
Oh NOW you'll show us the bat man
#Monsterdon are we gonna get bat babies
there's always an issue with just putting an animal face on a human because it jsut reads as mostly monkey
Beneath the Planet of the Bats
