Yeah, turn it o9ff. Emo Johnny is unbearable.
#monsterdon #TheBatPeople
see? SEE? I said this was a twilight zone and now here he goes doing a discount Rod Serling monologue!
Umm...you're standing in a lot of bat guano there, pal. #Monsterdon
man, are you even _on_ bat-level consciousness?
This sweater is why he changed. #monsterdon
Johnny, you leave that lady shutterbug alone! #monsterdon
#Monsterdon oh no! He's no longer in a terricloth robe! We'll never find him now!
The best part is he was also playing the theremin as he was recording that.
#monsterdon Wives are always holding men back from turning into bats and going to live in a cave.
#Monsterdon serious question, how much did this movie inspire the BTAS episode "On Leather Wings"?
@brooke Interestingly (or not) usually when I post "they didn't invent X until..." it's completely a joke, but this may be sort of true in the sense that a lot of people even in supposedly secure facilities probably really didn't think much about security until after the internet took off, like in the late 90's or 2000's (and we're still catching up today)
@socketwench not if you switch it off #Monsterdon
So they hired Stan Winston but they only had $10 and half a leftover pizza to pay him with so that's how much Bat Person they got.
all these lines should be delivered in torgo voice
"Always remember I loved you." And to drink your Ovaltine. #Monsterdon #TheBatPeople
The Bat People is still more action-packed that Rabid '77, at least to begin with (still watching) - depending on how action is defined, in any case (I'm speaking of the pace of the movie).
@amyfou He killed a laboratory? --dad #Monsterdon
ah, Cave Communiques
Doctor Winston, if you donβt straighten up, Iβll have to call Doctor Salem. #Monsterdon
followed by a montage of car break-ins as johnny makes cathy a farewell mixtape
Johnny isn't a vampire bat he is a fruit bat he just really craved that strawberry kool-aid #Monsterdon
Anyone else find it disturbing the sheriff is wearing gloves while inserting himself into her hotel room?
Feels like this movie has been ending for more than half of its runtime. #monsterdon
#Monsterdon oh that's too much lood.
So Doc Bat sucks off rats?
@trixter also thanks for reminding me, need to put some air in my bike tires later
#monsterdon

Wow I want that stone house though maybe without the wood paneling inside
Okay this movie has gone from fun-bad to gross-bad
"look we can do FANCY FILM COMPOSITION with windows!"
That cassette recorder has a leather case. Thatβs how we used to roll. #Monsterdon
oh great, a voiceover. just what this movie needed. #monsterdon
If the sheriff doesn't die...
#monsterdon
Wait. Is he a vampire? I thought he just made bat jazz hands and a got a headache. #Monsterdon
@overholt Part and parcel for the way the 70s treated women in general, sadly
#Monsterdon
Tourist just leave cassette recorders on the front seat of their unlocked car.
@trixter Honestly, we've only had 1 bat hand so far. Never seen a bat person or bat people. Just lots of frightened people laying on the ground going aaaaahhhh.
#monsterdon
I have a feeling this is Nurse/Victim
@trixter I think only one Bat Person so far. #Monsterdon #TheBatPeople
I'm tired of typing "McCloud" so whenever you see the sheriff just consider thinking it.
die! die! die! die! die! die! die! die!
(Alternatively: new pocari sweat flavors: A, B, AB, and O! )
Doc looks like a serious Ted Striker from "Airplane!"
#monsterdon
@brooke Yeah they didn't invent opsec until 1994
Excuse me while I SEXUALLY ASSAULT YOU during my investigation.
@trixter guy not even a full bat yet, we still working on the first bat person π
#monsterdon
@Louisa *To the tune of "Papa was a Rolling Stone."*
π΅ Johnny was a full-time bat
Like some sort of man-sized winged rat
#monsterdon
God this poor woman. Runs from one predator right into the arms of another... #monsterdon
@JoeWynne I doubt this one will delver on that too #monsterdon
The bat union is going to be like 'this is a stereotype that the movie industry has put on us bat peoples, we don't all drink blood'
#monsterdon #TheBatPeople
I canβt say I care for the way this movie treats its female characters. #Monsterdon
Is that just perspective? That car is huge! #Monsterdon
BLAAARGH!!
Forbidden go-gurt.
Okay, chugging a blood bag like it's IV fluid is neat.
I keep getting distracted by more interesting things like lubricating my bike chain, do we have *plural* bat people yet or will the title forever be a lie?
Yeah, he knew where they were hiding the jello shots. #Monsterdon #TheBatPeople
@Taweret Because cowboy hats looked too casual #monsterdon
@yatsu we got fruit juice man, all you can want. jello cups, too. single-serving.
Mmm, Koolaid #Monsterdon
That's not blood! That's Hawaiian Punch at best
Worst CapriSun ever.
Dr. Beck ditched his robe for a wino's trenchcoat. Now he's going to flash some bats!
just here for your juice boxes, ma'am, please don't make a fuss. #monsterdon
time to kill another random nurse?
Ok, I want to hate the cop, but he's not wrong that domestic abusers are more likely to do other kinds of violence...
Oh wait, there it is. FFS.
#Monsterdon π¦ π§βπ€βπ§ π¦ π§βπ€βπ§ π¦ π§βπ€βπ§ π±
OH NO bat people aggressively snuggle other people's faces I guess
I don't understand how handling a vial of the vaccine would do this
#Monsterdon I think the police dispatcher may be addicted to Valium.
1970s, so yup, that IV bag is full of cherry jell-o, isn't it?
@Canageek Yes! I think there are a few people who keep lists but this is the one I have handy: https://monsterdon-replay.gerlach.dev/
It's nice because you can replay the toot stream in real time
It was the 70s. hospitals were only allowed one small lamp per room.
#monsterdon #TheBatPeople
I wonder if bat-doc has a plan or if he will just be on living on an early GTA.
#monsterdon
Uh oh, he's going to vaccinate himself against anti-rabies. That's going to give him double rabies! #Monsterdon #MonsterMath
is that supposed to be blood????
Dr Batty McBatFace!
Gah, the cop gets worse and worse. #Monsterdon
Nice of the sheriff to offer Ms. Beck her own alcohol.
@Taweret At least we're not on the slopes anymore. #monsterdon #TheBatPeople
@kshernandez The wood panels make it go faster.
#Monsterdon terrible opsec at this hospital
Mister Doctor Man is like "what? no nothing's happened."
#Monsterdon π¦ π§βπ€βπ§ π¦ π§βπ€βπ§ π¦ π§βπ€βπ§ π±
How did he get a lab coat?
@Terencio Well that's true. #monsterdon
Now he's sneaking back into the hospital?? I thought Johnny was a full time bat now
Just let me drink on the job while not taking notes....
Is there a list of movies #monsterdon has done? I want to know if we've already done The Swarm?
this movie has way too many scenes of people standing around hospitals
has the use of excessive force been approved?
i gotta go get and fold the laundry. will i be back before this travesty wraps up? probably not??? #Monsterdon
Somehow, I'm not really in the mood for lighthearted fun anymore after that shit
I hate to admit how much I like Mr. Blond Smokey The Bandit's jacket. I blame having spent some formative years in Colorado.
@kb9ens Something about bats?
we watch a lot of movies both good and bad and worse here, but i appreciate that most of them regardless of quality acknowledge that cops suck
Y'know "The Bat People" could have been a movie about baseball

Well, all units have definitely converged.
