That's some of the worst acting running I've ever seen.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

i think ive seen this before but i don't remember when?

#Monsterdon

Back then it was still shots in the stomach for days for rabies wasn't it? #Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

okay some of that was definitely stock footage #Monsterdon

The running in place to stay in frame omg... #monsterdon #TheBatPeople

They're hoping, again, to run into James Bond on the hill.

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Look sometimes your cute animal pals just get the urge to bite people. Sorry I don't make the rules.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon bats ripped my flesh

#Monsterdon 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 😱

Wait, what?

Nobody told me this was going to be a skiing movie. #monsterdon

Nice 70s toques…I remember those.
#Monsterdon

Driving along snowy roads without seat belts nor head-rests in a 1970s car seems riskier than the whole bat exposure thing.

#monsterdon

"I care about you... and bats" Is he asking for a threesome?

#monsterdon
#TheBatPeople

@ricci A frisky bat? I'm sure that's on the cutting room floor. #monsterdon A little too edgy for the times.

I hope somebody loves me enough, someday, to evenly split their love between me and bats #Monsterdon

"This car gets 2 miles to the gallon! And it's 15 feet long."

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Wait, so the earlier bed scene was before he was bit? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Bats are like.

"Humans taste like chicken"

"Have you ever thought about what we look like to a bat?"

We look like the bat equivalent of G. Gordon Liddy, I have it on the best authority. #Monsterdon

"I don't care about bats"

🚩🚩

#Monsterdon

Mites?

#Monsterdon

...did they film that with her running on a treadmill?

#monsterdon

When I was a kid, I was with my family in a cave in western North Carolina somewhere (near Boone or Blowing Rock or Cherokee, or somewhere like that), and a bat flew into some lady's hair just like this. She had been scared the entire time of bats, and then she got "attacked" by one. This was the mid-80s; I bet she had seen this movie.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

Sure, wearing a polyester pantsuit is de rigeur for matrons on cave tours.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

oh no! The 8mm bat footage is after us! RUN!

#monsterdon

"I care about you. And bats."

Actual Laughter Was Produced

#Monsterdon

Bat attack, as so often happens.

#Monsterdon

Wait they're fine? I thought the movie was going to be them stuck in the cave with the bats lol

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 😱

Do not eat the bats.

#Monsterdon "Our honeymoon is getting a bit dull."

DO NOT say this to your spouse.

Is that an Asian pear she's fondling?

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

@socketwench

Over on the other, OTHER hill are the giant ants...
#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

"Are y'all right!?"

"YES!" [muttered] "you moron"

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

okay realtalk if you got bit by a bat and were unable to or too ignorant to go to a doctor, you're MUCH better off turning into a bat-person than contracting rabies

#monsterdon

STOP KICKING BATS, KATHY

#monsterdon

That dead bat was tonight's supper!! #Monsterdon

They've really thoroughly established his name is Jonny.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Last spring I drove from St Louis to the Ozarks to see the solar eclipse and I stopped off to tour a cave. NO BATS though. I imagine they stay away from the constant groups of people wandering through.

#monsterdon

Rabies

#Monsterdon

Bat caught in hair.

Damn I don't have this on my bingo card.

#monsterdon

Ok im back now we can start #monsterdon

I'm in! #Monsterdon

so are they the first Bat People now?

#Monsterdon

Hey, lady, that is a Tiny Screm, not a Dear Gods What Is It?!!

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

I like bats but I don't want to get up and close (see Pumas)
#monsterdon

@Andres4NY I think they were a co-host on The Price is Right. #monsterdon

@moira @brooke 🎶 no one will be watching them 🎶

#monsterdon

This does not seem to be the vacation they had in mind. #monsterdon

@trixter should be a good character development
#monsterdon

"White meat of tuna"

WHITE MEAT OF TUNA???

#monsterdon

oh my gods the rubber bats

this isn't even a dracula

i wasn't prepared

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

#Monsterdon

I really want the bats to win.

Cathy, no, don't listen to him— you were right in the first place. No waiting around for rescue, time to get out of the cave!! #monsterdon

Tuned in at "Our honeymoon was getting a little dull anyway." This couple was probably never going to last.

#Monsterdon

omg i am cackling at these bat attacks #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 😱

Now this is just bat libel.

Yor! Hunter from the Future!

#monsterdon #theBatPeople

Hold still while I hold this rubber bat in my hair, honey. #Monsterdon

Welp, now he's got rabies.

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

@moira 🎵 can't beLIEVE for this i SHAVED
oh WHYYYYYY don't they DO it in the CAVE! 🎵

#monsterdon
#TheBatPeople

The bats! The bats! Drawn like a moth to the flame of her hair.

#Monsterdon #BatPeople

Oh wow, I think I had most of a wall of my room covered in pictures from Natl geographic of this cave when i was 6. #Monsterdon

what does this nerd have a superpower for hearing bats?

#monsterdon

starting to think Johnny and Cathy make poor choices #Monsterdon

Fashion goals

And then he started getting transmissions from Mars on his implant again. #Monsterdon

What's with the xylophone music tones? That usually communicates comedy, and THERE IS NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT BUGS CRAWLING UP YOUR LEG. #monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Content warning, creepy cave bugs. Eww.
#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Kathy, you can be as primitive as you want in that little hidey hole in the cave!

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

...you ran off the path, what did you expect?

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

#monsterdon actor reminds me of the main character of airplane

These two have the sexual chemistry of tinned ham.

#monsterdon

"How do we get out of here???"

"We don't."

roll credits

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Wait, I've seen this movie... Anna Kendrick is in it. And this girl is gonna die in this desert!

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople #WomanOfTheHour

Are we sure he's not part bat? Maybe he's echolocating?

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

I missed it, did they say where this is taking case? Curious which caverns these are #monsterdon #thebatpeople1974

When a man and woman love each other very much, they spend some time together in a cave, and that's how Bat People are made!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I WILL SAY IT ONCE AND I WON'T SPEAK ABOUT IT AGAIN

No species of bats are pests
No species of bats are the enemy

But if you're gonna make a movie about an evil bat, at least pick a cool Desmodus rotundus and leave the insectivorous bats and their sharp teeth alone.

so like are they just spelunking into a tiny cave randomly? #monsterdon

"They're crawling all over me" Well no. They're on your foot and only barely. #Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

#Monsterdon these two can really chew the scenery, even if the scenery is 100% mineral deposits left over tens of millions of years

I already have a lot of questions about the ecosystem of this cave.

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

WELL THAT'S YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT FOR DISTURBING THE ECOSYSTEM

#Monsterdon

i mean, are you gonna like... shout for help or something??? these people deserve to die. -- wait, they were on their honeymoon??? #monsterdon

synth noises

"There are BATS!"

Wait! BATS??? In a CAVE????

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon I love caves & would happily live in this one (if it weren't in a horror movie).

JOHNNY!

CATHY!

DOCTOR SCOTT!

[BATS!]

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

I’m going to call that slide ‘impressive stuntwork’ #monsterdon

Kathy: Help me!
John: Alright, I’ll jump down right away without telling anybody.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

oh no she stepped into their lunch #Monsterdon #theBatPeople

This intro song is quite atmospheric, I'm impressed.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Wow, thriving ecosystem in this cave...

#monsterdon #theBatPeople

"Something down here makes me feel primitive."

You feel like you're in the stone age? You need to hunt and gather?

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

anyway bats are very cute and important, and i really prefer there's some sort of wall between me and them at all times

#monsterdon

CAVERN FROLIC!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 😱

OH NO terrible fall for Abbie

They *almost* let the tour guide explain how caves form, but had him trail off into mumbles just as it was getting interesting #monsterdon

Did she say she felt "primitive" down there? #monsterdon
