Mitchell Caverns... California apparently

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

i think someone did steal parts of this soundtrack from the twilight zone tho. #monsterdon

That's a pretty sweet hideout for a guy who's supposedly a train-riding hobo.
#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Is Johnny, as a 'bat-sexual' drawn towards caves, is that where this is going?

#Monsterdon

So, none of the women that get bat-personed get a sympathetic personality, but the man does, huh?

#Monsterdon

@diazona The smarter cops would use a radio transmitter, just sayin #Monsterdon

@diazona I thought the same thing!

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

"Professional job"? I guess Johnny's getting more skilled at throat ripping outing

#Monsterdon

"Professional job"

what kind of professional, then?

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Told you.

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

"...everyone, sheriff?"

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Why does this guy look like a cartoon hobo from the 1930s?

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

@tankgrrl Batty batty boo where are you? #monsterdon #TheBatPeople

What’s the chance of showing up in a barn with Red Skelton? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 😱

he's gonna be super drunk after this one

This ambulance/cop car chase is what gave Springsteen the idea for his song "Backstreets" #monsterdon

thinkin' bout thos bats

#monsterdon

I wonder if all this "freedom" talk with this bum is going anywhere
#monsterdon

Few things ickier than soiled white terrycloth #monsterdon

Wait. Is it day or night? #Monsterdon

@paco @GeoffWozniak I am Paco's wife and I approve this message. #Monsterdon

that stock footage is showing its age, unless Johnny is hallucinating a bat's 1950s childhood #monsterdon

Roll that beautiful bat footage...from 1932 #monsterdon #thebatpeople1974

Hobo like, "Oh, sure, transformation, seen it all on the road." #Monsterdon

Sure that's the way you put out an APB, just say "APB" forcefully into the radio

#Monsterdon

oops, here we go with the Bat Sound Effect...
#Monsterdon

I guess this is the start of a great friendship
if this was a comedy
#monsterdon

oop, BAT ATTACK.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Update

Apparently, were bats can hold their liquor.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

aw man sorry fictional hobo guy :(

#monsterdon

Death by Minimoog and fretless bass.

Worse ways to go.

#monsterdon

@GeoffWozniak My wife! My wife does not love a good drunk man soliloquy. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 😱

Johnny, you coulda sipped!

alcohol-induced transformation sequence?

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

The ambulance didn't immediately explode into a firey inferno what kind of 1970s #Monsterdon is this

Hey drunk desert hobo what if we 👉 👈 😚

#Monsterdon

yeah, might as well drink something, Johnny, you've murdered two people and a store display mannequin, life can't get much worse. #monsterdon

@SordidAmok OMG! What did he do wrong except be homeless and talkative. #monsterdon

Anyone else fondly remembering the film "Gargoyles" (1972) right now?

Man....that movie had *stuff* in it.

#monsterdon #theBatPeople

John.

Kill the hobo.

Move on.

END THE SCENE JOHNNY IT'LL BE WORTH THE 20 YEARS IN PRISON #Monsterdon

@athena_rising haha who am I to say no to that

#Monsterdon

I think his mustache is falling off. #Monsterdon

Johnny. You're gonna have a whole other definition of a bad day when some rancher finds you wandering on their property.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

@apLundell What if we took all the drunk hobos from all the terrible movies and put them together in one

#Monsterdon

He must have taken chase lessons from Roscoe P. Coltrane.

#Monsterdon

In a better film this barn hobo scene could have been a Bechdel test moment #Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

#Monsterdon I am also as free as a shit.

@wohali He's not a doctor of medicine...

#monsterdon #theBatPeople

@srol I don't know how there things work, but a cop wearing terrycloth couldn't catch a man, at least not JUST terrycloth? #NoIdea #Monsterdon #Mishearingonpurposeyearsold

@moira 'Cause I'm as free as a bat now...

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

@brooke #monsterdon #TheBatPeople

i guess this vagrant may be bat person number two?

#monsterdon

Uh oh. Likely Unattached drunken fellow, rabid Man-bat in nought but a robe>....

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

#Monsterdon philosohobo

The best actor in the film has showed up, playing a stereotype.

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Freeeee as a baaaat 🎶 #monsterdon

So many of our movies have a very wise homeless person.

#Monsterdon

Don't be shy... #monsterdon

free as a... shit...

bat?

YEAH! Bat!

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

I would be more invested in the main character's story if he were named Jeff Beck #monsterdon

I feel like there are a bunch of #monsterdon movies where the best character is a drunk hobo.

#Monsterdon

The eye roll is doing a lot of the heavy lifting for Bat dudes acting.

Can't decide if this friendly boozer is going to be the next victim or the second bat person? #monsterdon

Oh good, a 19th century prospector just showed up. #monsterdon

@srol lol, with the lights and sirens on too #Monsterdon

"You don't look like the kind of fella who runs around wearing pajamas."

"Look, man, you don't know me!"

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

#Monsterdon he forgot the word "bird"

Free as a shit?

#monsterdon #theBatPeople

He's gonna bite this guy and get totally sauced isn't he? #Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

oh christ the old-timey prospector now recast as a hobo we really are hitting all the notes here aren't we

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

@Taweret and they always dress like that! #monsterdon

@JoeWynne Sadly I can't think of a modern comic who did that kind of comedy! It kind of fell out of fashion...

#monsterdon

Enter The...Hobo?

#monsterdon

well i imagine he can certainly smell the real you, sir. #monsterdon

And now a drunk hobo? Is this the most 70s movie?
#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

"Free, free free. Free as a .... shit."

#Monsterdon #BatPeople

lol is that an authentic 1970’s hobo #Monsterdon

a desert hobo! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 😱

The heck?

Back when cars were actually assembled by human beings. And driven by them. I still can't get used to seeing these fucking things driving around town. Completely empty. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon did Johnny just learn how to run yesterday?

I'm just going to say it. This 70s film is not nearly horny enough. It's going to besmirch the decade's stellar record. #Monsterdon

oh god

the hobo :/ #Monsterdon

a lot of things in this seem dated for 1974. the ambulance, the cigarette holder, the wife's flip hairdo. though i guess things take awhile to change
#Monsterdon

I got me a car that's as big as a whale
And we're heading on down to the Bat Shack

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

There's no freaking bat-man, much less bat-people, in this movie is there... *shakes fist at the 70s*

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

It’s not easy to make a car chase boring. #monsterdon

HOSPITAL QUIET! SOME OF US WANT TO SLEEP!! #monsterdon

Stand up partner, and no error.

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

To recap:

Bats: Pollinators. Insect control.

Johnny: Just kind of a drip, tbh.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

@RobynGoodfellow I think it's debatable whether the Godmonster could save anything but I'd like to see the attempt

#Monsterdon

@hollie we run pihole and watch via their android app but I guess the ads are not served from an endpoint pihole blocks. only ads we ever watch are if we can't figure a way to watch #monsterdon another way!

I miss Werewolf of Washington #monsterdon #thebatpeople1974

@RobynGoodfellow somebody gets it!

#monsterdon

Oh look, it's budget Foster Brooks!

(Will anyone get this joke?)

#monsterdon

look, this is all just "stories no longer possible due to modern security systems"

#monsterdon

@mmezabet When she talks to other women it's only ever a conversation about a man, that's the takeaway #monsterdon
