I'm confused, didn't she get bit, too?

#Monsterdon

This is actually a movie about vaccines
#monsterdon

is she wearing a Charlie Brown sweater

#monsterdon

Why is she dressed like Charlie Brown?

#monsterdon #theBatPeople

#monsterdon she's got the charlie brown shirt??

Kathy is ROCKING the Charlie Brown sweater, though

#monsterdon

PSA: Do not fuck around with rabies.

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Ayyyyyyy! She found Waldo!

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Someone must have spiked his drink with mealworms #monsterdon

Cathy's dressed as Charlie Brown

#Monsterdon

"Yep, werebat-itis. Have you considered moving to Gotham?"

#monsterdon #theBatPeople

@bstacey @moira That sounds like a much more legitimate movie

#Monsterdon

"...and you won't take it yourself!"

WAY TOO PRESCIENT FOR 2025.

#monsterdon

I'm surprised she didn't suggest that they had a long ride to the summit and the car to themselves.

#Monsterdon

And they just left the shattered glass in the hot tub. Nice.

#monsterdon

"I'll stop at the first aid station first thing in the morning"

buddy I don't think you understand what the point of FIRST aid is meant to be

#Monsterdon

He is turning into a bat, the muddled orange in his old fashioned gave him the fruit crazies. #monsterdon

"You wanted to examine it for rabies?"

"No, it was my lunch."

#TheBatPeople #monsterdon

[edit: boo, he made that joke like 10 seconds later. this is my first #monsterdon, for the record - I'm usually putting kids to bed around now, but they fell asleep early for once.]

@helianthropy Yeah if only you could get PARKING at $23/day on your vacation. #monsterdon

"C'mon honey, I'm just shredding my hand and displaying the symptoms of rabies, no big. I'll take a tylenol." #Monsterdon

"I'll just sleep with a bleeding hand - then I'll deal with it."

#Monsterdon

Charlie Brown sweater!

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

ooh, dropping your glassware in the pool. that's BAD.

#monsterdon

Will there be... bat babies? #monsterdon

HUAH, AWGGGHHHH, HEBLEHHHHH!!!!!

What's in this cocktail, Clamato?!?!

#Monsterdon

Is she wearing a Charlie Brown sweater? #Monsterdon

i think this is all extremely incorrect information about how rabies works

#monsterdon

@moira "From the depths of Carlsbad Caverns to the slopes of Ruidoso, New Mexico is a place to make memories that will last a lifetime. But for one pair of happy honeymooners, the road from Santa Fe to Ojo Caliente will have an unplanned detour ... into the Twilight Zone."

#monsterdon

The Battening is upon him.

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

@amyfou I don't even know what part of the movie you're referring to, but yes

#Monsterdon

@apLundell a face so ugly it's cute, they're the pugs of the sky

#monsterdon

Nostalgic for those pre-inflation vacation prices 😭 #Monsterdon

Oh good, skiing. Perfect opportunity to hit the +30 seconds button on Tubi #monsterdon

Johnny knows he's only got so long to get that first shot, right?

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Okay, I would like to do that (hot tube in the snow)
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon ski scene: it’s not padding, we had to let the orchestra out for a bit or else they get the zoomies

#Monsterdon "$23 a day. it's _almost_ worth it!" fuck you, past lady. (hashtag inflation)

23$ a day!

I'm moving IN!

#Monsterdon

$23/day for a resort sounds really good today.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

well that was an ABRUPT hot spring. #monsterdon

Movies love to pretend middle aged people frolic like teenagers if they're happy

#Monsterdon

It's well known that bats love a good slalom. #Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

BLOWS SHRILL WHISTLE

OK, EVERYONE OUT OF THE POOL. NOW.

#monsterdon

Sadly due to the effects of climate change....none of that is snow...

At least not literal snow.

#monsterdon #theBatPeople

@yatsu A la Snow Beast 😄 #Monsterdon

I've a cold/flu, this is going to give some weird fever dreams oi
#monsterdon

#monsterdon "Your work is important" she says, so they take a tourist tour to a cave.

OK, so they had a picnic in the desert, drove to the cave, caught the *last tour* of the day, then drove to the ski resort with plenty of time of hit the slopes.

Obviously a fantasy.

#Monsterdon #BatPeople

#Monsterdon 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 😱

When you ride the ski lift you definitely have to kick your feet like that (but what does this have to do with bat people tho?)

#Monsterdon pretty sure bat people was just a plot to get everyone to watch this guy's vacation videos.

what in the bach miyazaki is this soundtrack #monsterdon

I can't take it, I'm skipping ahead to catch up a little bit. There's snow now.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Aha... this was all Cathy's fault!

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

@combatwombat that's exactly what i was thinking too!! #monsterdon

Are we to find a bat on the slopes, in full ski gear.. and it bites someone? #monsterdon

Getting a late start but I'm here! 1.5x speed until I catch up

#Monsterdon

I guess the movie was used to pay for a ski vacation. #Monsterdon

The composer for this film was given the brief for a very different movie and made _no_ changes when delivered with the actual result.

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Ok, now this skiing is definitely ‘impressive stuntwork’! #monsterdon

Where's Waldo: Ski Adventure

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

How does this become the origin story for Batman?

Do I have the wrong movie?

#Monsterdon

failing to conceive a baby in a cave, our heroes relocate to the snowy north

#monsterdon

now, to celebrate our PHOTOGRAPHIC EQUIPMENT with some ski shots & piano

#monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow Yeah, the protagonist is not the only person being driven crazy by it! #monsterdon

And here we see how the director used the film as a tax write off for his skiing vacation...

#monsterdon #theBatPeople

@Taweret bats are cute it's rabies that's scary when is Johnny gonna get those shots? #Monsterdon

Night of the Lepus vibes. It’s hard to make cute fuzzy critters scary. #monsterdon

♪ Only looooove ♫

♫ Love pads the fiiiilm ♪

#Monsterdon

That's definitely "jaunty music" #Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

And @batsbatsbats is a lovely bot to follow for regular bat goodness. You can easily submit alt text too.

#Monsterdon #bats

Ok, so.... I really like cave tours like this (I'm no spelunker), so this actually looks like a pretty cool honeymoon so far!

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

@lytta If not, we've definitely already seen that movie

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon fucker stole Waldo's hat.

(That's Wally's hat, for my friends across the pond.)

#Monsterdon 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 😱

Why is there romantic skiing now?

I think maybe this story is being told out of chronological order, maybe. But badly #monsterdon

#monsterdon Bats kinda have ugly faces, though.

Studio-sponsored ski trip, you love to see it #Monsterdon

🎶 the hills are aliiive, with the sounds of bat flight 🎶

#monsterdon

And now: the world's slowest skiing scene

#Monsterdon

@Taweret but what if i were to dangle a bat from a rubber band and then wobble it really quickly in the dark? would you be scared then?

#monsterdon

According to IMDB, Filming Locations:

Carlsbad Caverns, NM
Mitchell Caverns, CA
Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort, CA
Lingerie Store in Bishop, CA???? 😆

#Monsterdon

So, the bat bites or scratches him, he's an expert on bats (or something like that), and he doesn't even think, "I should probably go get checked out at the hospital?"

They just...go skiing?

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

You're were trying to hang upside down and we're trying to make high pitched squeaks #Monsterdon

Cue the ski tourism footage.

#Monsterdon #BatPeople

This movie is in full "artiste" and "auteur" mode. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon the other couple in the tram all "uh-unh, i'm not getting involved in this"

I do like their matching hats. #Monsterdon

“I’m really happy.” Heavily rolled eyes and bat cries… #Monsterdon

Okay the bat screeching is already WAY old. #Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

"...don't worry folks, it's just the rabies"

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

just incredible fake running lmao

#Monsterdon

Maybe this extreme sprinting is the ‘impressive stuntwork’? #monsterdon

@JoeWynne
These bats are pervs from the 40s that like to sniff, obviously.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

I appreciate that people in this movie just straight up say how they feel. Why bother with, like, subtlety or characterization when you can just look into the camera and state your feelings. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon now he's having bat attack dreams in the middle of being awake?

#Monsterdon when you must test bats for rabies but you have apres ski at 5pm

#Monsterdon 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 😱

"Cathy" not "Abbie" I guess

the thing is bats aren't scary tho

#Monsterdon

Also, has anyone else noticed there is a major absence of coffee? That never bodes well. #monsterdon #CoffeeWatch #TheBatPeople
