"...Well, I'll be..."

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

I was kinda hoping we'd pan to see Johnny hanging from the ceiling naked

#monsterdon

#monsterdon This is the manager. We've got a strict no pets and no bats policy.

She deserves better than this movie.

#monsterdon #theBatPeople

Of all the Cathy Browns in the world, she's the Cathy Browniest

#Monsterdon

Is he eating her out or what #monsterdon #thebatpeople1974

Sexy bat love time.....#monsterdon

you think this is a scary scene, but consider you haven't seen Cathy's deviantart account

#monsterdon

the allergic people #monsterdon

No, she hasn't seen her husband, she's not lying. #monsterdon

This guy shifts back and forth between the hospital and the remote caves pretty quickly.

#Monsterdon

Please let Johnny be full-on bat, now!

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

Johnny has come back from the caves because the bats did not accept him...and it's cold and wet in there at night.

#Monsterdon

I smell like I sound, I lost and I'm found, and I'm hungry like the bat

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 😱

One realistic thing about this movie: she didn't bring enough sweaters for this many days so she has to repeat

How do you kill a bat? Burn it with fire I imagine. Like every other living thing. #monsterdon

What if the Bats don't accept him either?
What then Johnny?

#Monsterdon

THERE'S STILL 20 MINUTES.

#monsterdon #theBatPeople

"Darling, rather than admit I'm gay and ask for divorce, I'm going to become a bat and live in the caves....sorry...."

#Monsterdon

There's a few caverns like this in my part of Virginia. Surprised we haven't had more trans-bat attacks.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Johnny is romancing the sink. Next the icebox!

Rabies makes you have sudden, unexpected, powerful orgasms.

#Monsterdon

Oh I forgot he, himself was a doctor, hence the nurse's lack of surprise to find him in there and rummaging like a crazy man-bat

#Monsterdon

Add some excitement by rotating your video. #monsterdon #tips

#Monsterdon Ewwwww! Eww eww eww! Oh fuck the sheriff is even worse than I thought...

This shithead cop is the new top of the "please kill this character" list

#Monsterdon

Now Johnny can kill the cop and the audience doesn't have to feel any remorse.

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Movie what even are you about? I don't like anyone or the plot. We were promised Bat PEOPLE. Plural. Not one man going crazy and a broken marriage.
#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

I hope Johnny, in his final act of humanity, rips Sergeant Rapey McRapist’s throat out.

#Monsterdon

if the sheriff doesn't die by the end of the film, i will be EXTREMELY unhappy.

#monsterdon

Run Cathy, just get in the car and run

#Monsterdon

Don't get in the car with creepy cop, Cathy.

#monsterdon

Ewwwwww.....but also very on form for a cop

#Monsterdon

We have arrived at the sheriff's... candle lit dinner for two table?
Is he hitting on this married woman? What?
#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

"it's a bat time-- i mean a BAD time-- to be alone" #monsterdon

That car's so long it took him 5 minutes to walk to the other side.
#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Chivalry isn't dead, it's just got a moustache that smells like shitty 50 cent cigars. #Monsterdon

@paco the social commentary in this movie is surprisingly grim #Monsterdon

@wohali Hm, local buses here run $2.25 half a century later.

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

oh hey that's right, photophobia is also a rabies symptom

(tbf it's also a symptom of anything that gives you a bad enough headache)

#monsterdon

I can't tell if this is supposed to be a comedic bit or a PSA. What the hell.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Now we’re serious. Theremin! #Monsterdon

Trying hard not to think about how a barn wino’s trench coat must smell. #Monsterdon

Holy shit ACAB. Pretty nurse gets her throat ripped out and it's a super important police matter. Homeless person dies the same way and it's "a humane act?" Fucking hell that's dark.

#monsterdon

Laying down on the floor and screaming is actually not a good defensive strategy.

#monsterdon

the children^W doctors yearn for the mines^W caves

#Monsterdon

I must go. My people are calling me.

#monsterdon

I think Johnny's actual bat person origin story is that he's ingested so many random chemicals that he goes blind and has to learn echolocation

#Monsterdon

I hope the hobo stares at the transformation, and then his booze bottle and throws the booze bottle away

#Monsterdon

It’s Morbin’ time?

#monsterdon

It's funny how can everyone always find an semi-abandoned barn on these movies...
#monsterdon

Old man got Bingo already!

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

It really feels like the cop is trying to distract from how he couldn't catch a man in a terrycloth bathroom driving in a straight line #monsterdon

ah good, he's found a barn to cry in

#Monsterdon

Wherever they're filming this, the background scenery is kind of sweet

That's definitely what we're meant to be looking at in this chase scene, yup, no doubt about it

#Monsterdon

Who ya gonna call?
Ghost-bat busters!

#Monsterdon

he's driving like a bat out of hell #monsterdon

"...all units converge!"

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Whenever I steal an ambulance, I turn on the sirens and drive like a moron.

#monsterdon

His batmobile sucks

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Sign: Hospital, Quiet!

Johnny, an asshole: TURNS ON THE SIREN #Monsterdon

This sheriff's bad at his job #monsterdon

Ooh, 70s hearse-style ambulance!

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

I watched Team America this morning and this is the nightcap. In fact all I've done the last 48 hours is sleep, watch NHL/NBA plaoffs and movies. #monsterdon #IsThisHeaven

yeah dude we all need help, we chose to watch this

#Monsterdon

Stare at your hand, so your hand can turn into a bat.....I've had these drugs....

#Monsterdon

When I've had bad dreams they don't contain sick acid jazz soundtracks, that's all I'm sayin' #monsterdon

Would be funny if he is just feverish and the cop is just pinning it on him because he doesn't want to actually investigate
#monsterdon

#monsterdon "Fever, man!"

Skeptical doctor: “There’s no such thing as bats!”
#monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai He took the hippocritic oath! #bam #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 😱

A monsterdon first: A dr prescribes a sedative for a dude!

"Take these downers, they'll knock out an elephant, but not Ozzy Osbourne, you'll be fine"

#Monsterdon

Sgt: "There's been one or two things bothering me. One is a girl who had her throat ripped out, and another is that your wife isn't wearing that nighty you bought for her."

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

The real monster was…
[checks notes]
…the male gaze
#monsterdon

Columbo.... before I go, just one more question:

#Monsterdon

Oh no, reefer madness! With added BOW CHICKA WOW WOW

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Wow, creepy cop. Take it easy there.

#monsterdon

Johnny summoned a bat or something for this? Is this a remake of The Cat Girl?

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

@Taweret Maybe the hallucination from rabies is making him THINK he's turning into a bat?

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

"Was it the bat dream again?"
"No. I told you. A little cumin powder goes a long way. You can always add more, but you can't take it out."
#monsterdon

It's okay that he murdered her because she lived in a trailer park and was a slut.

#monsterdon

@combatwombat "It seems like you're avoiding any effects you can't do with stock footage."

"No, it's rising tension! It's rising tension!"

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

#Monsterdon Orchestra is horny too. Ahhh. Shabby Perkins is yodeling.

oh yea baby it's a chase sequence in a 70s flick so you'd better believe that the hi-hat has come to play

#Monsterdon

This jazzy chase music is a choice.

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

do bats cry blood? is that a bat thing?

#Monsterdon

SCREECH! Oh no, it's the jazz fusion attack band!

#monsterdon

whoa, upright bass walks for an investigation sequence? you spoil us, soundtrack.

#Monsterdon

🥱 #monsterdon

I don’t think that’s a piñata, Johnny. #Monsterdon

They're in New Mexico but the creepy cop has a southern accent because that's the stock character.

#monsterdon

That Schatzi Bakery in the background of the shot where Johnny is confronted with his hospital bracelet...

that bakery is in Sherman Oaks, California.

#monsterdon

"How you feeling" Oh just a bit batty. #Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

"I'm sorry, I'm medical personnel, I'm not good with death."

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

i think even in the 70s doctors knew that rabies could progress as fast as one week depending on the viral load, strain, and location of the bite (closer to the central nervous system can lead to faster symptoms)

he got bit ON THE HEAD.

#monsterdon

<two women pass centimeters away without speaking> Expertly dodging the Bechdel test

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

@kshernandez
I believe they actually have less than 72 hours after rabies exposure to start treatment, at least that's what I remember from #ThisAmericanLife episode. 😖

https://www.thisamericanlife.org/319/and-the-call-was-coming-from-the-basement/act-one-16

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

And then she... fell on glass and died? That wasn't much of a murder, really.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I fell into your lap, Doctor! Repeatedly! I chipped a tooth.
