@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 The case of the killer clarinet.
@yatsu mescaline itym
Bat man! There's the cave! It's your home! Go to your home!
#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?
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
You wouldnβt like me when Iβmβ¦ batty
"Professional job". He's not a bat, he's a hit man.
Thought the old man was gonna trip, fall on his liquor bottle and cut his throat open on its broken glass. #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 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....
Musta had a heart attack - there's no blood.
Shit, y'all! That's the Scooby Doo bat sound!
#monsterdon #TheBatPeople
Bats do drink alcohol so he should have been fine
#monsterdon
"do you hear.... stock footage?"
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.
damn I was hoping he'd turn into a drunk bat.
"You're quite a philosopher."
"It's the booze talking. You ever talked to a drunk, man?"
Who doesn't love a good drunk man soliloquy? #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.
This scene serves no purpose so far. #monsterdon
The old guy too drunk to know he's palling around with the monster, classic
@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...
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 itβ¦
movies from that era really thought being homeless and alcoholic was hilarious
bat(hrobe) people
#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
"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
bat or no bat, you should fastened your seatbelt, doc!
#monsterdon
@kb9ens #monsterdon
Youβre right! This movie is βBat Personβ
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.
Dispatch: "Erm, you keep referring to all cars, Dave. We only have the one, and you've wrecked it."
i just need him to interact with some water so i can decide whether he's got rabies or a case of werebat
@rebeld It turned into a classic 70s cop chase scene, so clearly, that's what the soundtrack called for.
Wonder what the fruit bats are up to.
now, rather than fuck his wife on Honeymoon, Johnny is crawling through the hot desert to an abandoned mine...
dude just turn into a bat ffs
I wish the trailer park chase had gone on this long and had bongos
I was going to joke about him being the only cop in this town, but they really only could film the one, huh?
Good thing Johnny brought his running slippers to the desert, huh?
That ambulance has a roll cage. Stand by, stunt crew.
Jesus, man. Hold it together! You're driving! #monsterdon
Okay I have to go take my kids to the store so I gotta run, but HAVE FUN EVERYONE! :D
I hope the rest of your experience is appropriately terrible
With those driving skills Johnny will do well in the radioactive badlands of the distant 1980s
oh no the sheriff took off his hat... now i can't tell him apart from the doctor
This car chase scene is sooooo long #monsterdon
The gas station isn't going to explode? Omg... I'm afraid i have to admit it but...
Laserblast was a better movie.
#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople
I've stayed at a TravelLodge once or twice in my life. #monsterdon
Datsun dealership!
#Monsterdon π¦ #TheBatPeople
Wow, that cop car handles like a sausage. He's getting out-driven by an AMBULANCE. #Monsterdon
Damn, those rooms have a lot of doors! I bet they charge your insurance for it
#monsterdon
@paco I thought it was Janet, Crissy and Greedy Gretchen in a scene from Three's Company #Monsterdon
@nev that's an old ambulance, they indeed did look like that, but it's an anachronism by 1974 for sure
lol "fuck your motorcycle!"
This is Sgt Ward, due to my cocaine habit, I do not sleep.
#monsterdon #TheBatPeople
Why can the ambulance make those turns without tires screeching, but the cop car can't???
What? Stolen ambalam? Who gives af!? #monsterdon
Your really don't need to be that descriptive. He turned the siren on so he should be real easy to find. #monsterdon
THIS BAT CAN DRIVE.
At least he was decent enough to turn on the siren. #monsterdon
I thought this was gonna turn into bad 1970s porn. #monsterdon
When making a stealthy get away ALWAYS turn on the siren and lights. #Monsterdon #TheBatPeople
Fever, man! #monsterdon
Oh he stole an Ecto-1
#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople
If you're trying to flee from the hospital by stealing an ambulance, why the fuck would you turn on the siren?
whoah whoah what
no, you can't open windows in the hospital ward and leave that way.
THE SPELL, YOU BROKE IT
Putting on the siren, smart.
Turn that siren off, can't you see the sign? It says, Hospital Quiet!
In 1974 all ambulances were from the 50s. #Monsterdon
Oh shit, is Dr. Moustache giving Johnny ketamine? NOICE.
#Monsterdon so i dunno if he's turning into a bat, but he *did* steal an ambulance. that's kinda cool i guess
@ramsey At least now we have a "batmobile" #monsterdon #TheBatPeople
Bat Boy, it's me I'm Cathy I've come ho-ome I'm, so co-o-o-ld let me in your hospital ro-o-o-om #monsterdon
Johnny Johnny
Yes Papa?
Turning into a bat?
No Papa!
#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople
fun fact from the internet: while it's very rare to be less than about a month or two, the shortest incubation period of rabies documented in humans is apparently 4 days
