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"

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.

A little heavy on the harp, but I'm digging the music

#monsterdon

"Ladies, does your man keep taking off his wedding ring, turning into a bat...."

#Monsterdon

The very rare hand-first transformation sequence. #monsterdon

That's a Frogs-style kill

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

BAT HAND! Na na na na na na na BAT HAND! #monsterdon

"I know why you're dating me.....for the free drugs, yes?"

#Monsterdon

Werebat! Werebat! Werebat!

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

....oh, he turns into a bat?

Or his hand does anyway....

#Monsterdon

Oh, so now the doctor is treating a woman like an idiot. That's more like it.

#monsterdon

"Strange fights of anger whenever I try to touch him....sexually...."

#Monsterdon

"Never seen anything like that before." The last thing you ever want to hear coming out of a doctor's mouth. #monsterdon

Stop blaming the Pastuer treatment you quack

#Monsterdon

Facts about falling rocks:

- they are not bats
- they are not people

(11 minutes in, still catching up)

#Monsterdon

"Dr Kipling, I think my new husband is a gay, what do I do?"

#Monsterdon

but yknow what, at least these characters gave in and tried to get proper treatment.

(also wow that doctor doesn't know how allergic reactions work, since he's currently assuming it's that)

#monsterdon

Facts about mites:

- they are not bats
- they are not people

You can see the problem here

(9 minutes in, still catching up)

#Monsterdon

One of these nurses is also going to be a victim.

#monsterdon

I hope the 'tache is actually a bat controlling that man's brain...

#Monsterdon

He has become the Rabies
#monsterdon

"I can only handle one emergency a day"

Lmao must be nice, Mr. Medical Doctor!!!

#Monsterdon

That's a giant needle.

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

The sweater is pretty neat.

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

omg!! I've got 30 days before things get serious from this rabies, let's continue our vacation. #monsterdon

"Sir, it looks like we'll need to perform a batectomy." #monsterdon

#Monsterdon out intimacy was overdubbed in post production. I see.

hydrophobia? already?

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

...yep, Johnny finds an excuse to get out of that sexy situation

#Monsterdon

@hollie I was not expecting so much skiing -- I thought it would be dry dusty land! #Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Skiing was really popular in the 1970s. As we've seen in several movies.

#monsterdon

Well I'm out of bacon snacks in my immediate vicinity if you want some drama while this skiing scene draws on...

#Monsterdon

@ottaross Yes. But I really dug the bat fugue dream -- I was afraid I'd really hate this movie, from the opening to now, but it's gotten weird enough that I have hope. #Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

I'm getting the impression that Johnny is not totally happy with his marriage.

#monsterdon

“And I care about you. And bats.”

Someone’s getting laid tonight. #Monsterdon

kisjundhfaliusdbhasbdf I had no idea there were other people in the gondola hahahahaha #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Johnny! You gobbled the entire bowl of Quaaludes! Paging Prince Valium.

i tune into this movie named the bat people and immediately see a bunch of bats and not even one bat boy #monsterdon

So this is basically a story of a doomed relationship with a partner who won't tolerate a special interest?

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

did he not clean off the blood before they went skiing, or...? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon I dare say his third eye is decalcifying! LOL. Waggle waggle waggle.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. She is so stupid.

#monsterdon

[rescue and doctor treatment offscreen]

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

The fundamental problem with this movie is that it assumes that I find bats creepy. I just think that was a meet-cute

#Monsterdon

Thinking about the Great Stalacpipe Organ while all this Nothing happens in a cavern. If this movie included a lithophone instrument I would lose my mind.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Stalacpipe_Organ

#Monsterdon

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

I hope these two got more work in acting after this.....

#Monsterdon

"Here's an old, abandoned mine. Let's go in. I'm sure it's fine." #monsterdon

This is why you don't leave the tour group....

#Monsterdon

It’s very important for his job that they visit this extremely popular tourist attraction. #monsterdon

"Do me in the caverns charlie...."

Falls down a hole into some bugs.

That would kill the mood

#Monsterdon

Obviously, it looks like all of #Monsterdon is siding with the 🦇 already and the movie has barely begun

This feels very much like they did not pay extras, they just snuck a camera along on a real national park cave tour

#Monsterdon

Bat took a poop in their picnic lunch basket

#monsterdon

Oh God. If the actors are this bored, the audience has no chance. #monsterdon

Oooo 'cavern tour'

This man does not now how to treat his partner on a Honeymoon...the less contact the outside world the better ideally...

#Monsterdon

“Why does everybody hate me?”
—the bat
#monsterdon

Bats aren't ugly lady they are CUTE SKY PUPPIES! #Monsterdon

Right, so remember: bats come in THREE TYPES!

1. FUZZIBOI

2. TINY SCREM

3. DEAR GODS WHAT IS THAT KILL IT WITH FIRE

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

This song is…..? #monsterdon

Oh no. A bat. #Monsterdon

Currently on team Bat
#monsterdon

*closeup of adorable brown bat*
Dialogue: "That's horrible!"

#Monsterdon

"it's horrible"?? it's adorable!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

bats are cute tho

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 😱

Aaand we're back in the Mojave desert outside of LA

Johnny's hair and top really look like he just walked off of a Star Trek set.

#monsterdon

Some very nice desert landscapes. Looks like California or Nevada.

#Monsterdon

We deserve a soothing desert fever dream with lounge singing after that overstim intro #monsterdon

How does he manage to DRIVE in a smug way? Like, that's impressive. #Monsterdon

I fear this theme tune is overselling the quality of the film....

#Monsterdon
