I know my vote in the last #monsterdon poll was for a bad film, but was it really that much worse than this one?

Did Johnny-Bat just kill somebody in the cave tour to take their car keys and steal the station wagon? Also, the victim just goes quietly along with that?

#Monsterdon #BatPeople

@helianthropy Poor bats

#Monsterdon

best thing on screen in the last 30 mins: that instamatic with the flashbulb

#monsterdon

ma'am what did we say about flash photography?

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

i kinda feel like rabies didn't need be a part of this movie at all. you could've just had a guy get lost in a cave and run into a bat person and get bit by the bat person and then slowly transform into a bat person and then eventually run off to live with the other bat people in the caves

they should've done that

#monsterdon

Does he like sports? Or is he a faaaaairy?

#monsterdon

Flash photography in a bat cave… 🤔

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

@ottaross Monster yes... bat person... no. #monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Proper 60s beehive on the middle aged lady at the back

#Monsterdon

yeah that's...assault indeed, ew

#monsterdon

Remember when this was a vampire bat movie? #Monsterdon

I’m not sure the sheriff understands his job description.
#monsterdon

ACAB

#Monsterdon

Drinking in service Ward...
#monsterdon

@SordidAmok darn you and your logic

#Monsterdon

Stolen jacket, bathrobe, stolen coat. It’s a rough life #Monsterdon

The cop is actually a bat

ABAB

#monsterdon #thebatpeople1974

yeah smell her hair WAIT WHAT THE FUCK COP

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

This cop scene in the motel room is the most uncomfortable part of the movie. #monsterdon

This cop is like Extra Bastard wow #Monsterdon

Does he like sports? #monsterdon Um... Dude you're on the job... and drinking... what kinda...

Does he like to watch gladiator movies? #Monsterdon

Does he touch you like this? #Monsterdon

If this were set on Krull the other doctor, the sheriff, the lady in the dress shop, and the alcoholic gent would all be part of Johnny's team by now #monsterdon

"Mrs. Beck, invite me in. Never mind. I'll just walk on in. You got any whiskey? Ah, here. Found some. I'll help myself."

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

This film could only afford a Motel 2.

#monsterdon #theBatPeople

is this sargent just trying to get himself into her apartment without a warrant? #monsterdon

Let me tuck you in Mrs. Beck.

#Monsterdon

I think Sarge is going to put the movies on Cathy

#monsterdon

really missing Lalo Schiffrin right about now. I think he could have done better with this soundtrack.

#Monsterdon

To everyone watching: do yourself a favour and don't look at how much run time is left. #monsterdon

@nev It's so much easier to get ice cream than it is to get bat people apparently

#Monsterdon

"Look, I just want to get ode-LAID get it? ar ar ar ar ar ar ar"

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

He had bat hearing before getting bit. Maybe he is just coming home.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon roll that beautiful stock bat footage.

Dr. Bat, I mean Beck, is going back to the cave where he was “born”
#Monsterdon

"Come on, you can't walk the streets all night."

uhhhhh... awkward

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

#monsterdon "Suspect homocidal" pronounced in a very suspect way. Who says "homocidal" like that?!

no, that not bus, that dog

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Finally got his man-bat cave. #Monsterdon

"Hi, Mrs. Bat man. You got that nighty on?"

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

Let me get this straight: they couldn't find Johnny in the barn but they could find the victim. #monsterdon

i hope the plot just becomes Johnny's crimes to acquire better and better outfits

#monsterdon

@wohali I'm enjoying the frequent clothes changes in this movie. A lot of clothes seizures in this movie. Not GREAT clothes, but a lot of variety. #Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Ahhh the time of year when the bat people return to their spawning caves

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon The case of the killer clarinet.

@yatsu mescaline itym

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Bat man! There's the cave! It's your home! Go to your home!

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

#Monsterdon bat out of hell ii: back into hell (the batcave)

"Sir, there's no smoking."
"This is god damn 1974. I'll smoke wherever the fuck I please."
#monsterdon

yearns for the caves
#monsterdon

wait, so the "horror" here is that a bat bite has turned the guy into a "professional" homicidal maniac?

#Monsterdon

the masculine urge to go live in a cave. #monsterdon

@brooke pfft, 'America' #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Jazz drums to pan flutes. I just want a hammer and hurt someone. LOL.

Reading about bats getting drunk on ripe fruit instead. Apparently fructose helps with the hangover. #monsterdon #boozybats https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna18046336

Examining hobo killed by Doctor Bat:

"Profesional Job"

WTF?

#monsterdon

You wouldn’t like me when I’m… batty

#monsterdon

"Professional job". He's not a bat, he's a hit man.

#Monsterdon

Thought the old man was gonna trip, fall on his liquor bottle and cut his throat open on its broken glass. #monsterdon

♫ I killed the hobo ♪

♪ But I did not kill the dep-u-ty ♫

#Monsterdon

that coat he's wearing makes him look like he tried out for and failed the Doctor Who screen test, but wouldn't give the coat back

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon the scenery is the best part of this movie. Yay Mountains!

Clearly a graduate of the Bill Bixby school of onscreen transformations. #Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

This is a great anti-alcohol PSA #monsterdon #thebatpeople1974

Johnny truly is a master of disguise....

#Monsterdon

Musta had a heart attack - there's no blood.

#Monsterdon #BatPeople

Shit, y'all! That's the Scooby Doo bat sound!
#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Ok that's twice... are bats allergic to alcohol or something? #monsterdon #TheBatPeople

the Man-Bat redeems himself with the power of CARE FOR OTHERS.

#monsterdon

damn I was hoping he'd turn into a drunk bat.

#Monsterdon

"You're quite a philosopher."

"It's the booze talking. You ever talked to a drunk, man?"

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

Who doesn't love a good drunk man soliloquy? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🦇 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 😱

I really want some bats. Bat people or else bats. Something like that.

@ottaross It's worse than that. We were promised Bat PEOPLE. We can't even get one. #monsterdon

The homeless guy is out-acting everybody else in this film.

#Monsterdon #BatPeople

This scene serves no purpose so far. #monsterdon

The old guy too drunk to know he's palling around with the monster, classic

#Monsterdon

@athena_rising To be fair living up to its title is a nontrivial achievement for a #Monsterdon movie

The mountaintops are lovely #monsterdon

Damn, Everyone stares at doc's wife boobs. Look at her face Ward!
#monsterdon

Jed Clampet has hit hard times...

#monsterdon #theBatPeople

So far, we only have a bat PERSON, and a disappointing one at that, so when does this film live up to its title, huh? #Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

#Monsterdon He lost his line and they just slid right on through it…

movies from that era really thought being homeless and alcoholic was hilarious

#Monsterdon

bat(hrobe) people

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Stereotypical farm drunk with TB.

@RobynGoodfellow I suppose if it were just the monster itself and not all the terrible townspeople that tried to capture it, I could see it

#Monsterdon

"Never done a violent thing in his life"

Lady he ripped a bat off his face and stomped it to death 10 min into this movie

#monsterdon

bat or no bat, you should fastened your seatbelt, doc!
#monsterdon

@kb9ens #monsterdon
You’re right! This movie is “Bat Person”

Oh this hobo is gonna get 'Bat Johnny'd'

But not before some ACTING first!

#Monsterdon

You see this wreck and you think "eh, he'll probably just walk it off."
#monsterdon

Man-bat. Pfft. This is a man-bat #Monsterdon

Film's only like half over -_-; #Monsterdon

It would really save this disaster if the God Monster of Indian Flats came out and kicked this guy's ass. #Monsterdon #TheBatPeople

Cool. Let's watch the man bat run for 30 minutes. Cool.

#monsterdon #TheBatPeople

i just need him to interact with some water so i can decide whether he's got rabies or a case of werebat

#monsterdon

@rebeld It turned into a classic 70s cop chase scene, so clearly, that's what the soundtrack called for.
