"I think it's because he cried in front of everybody. Or because gravity was disabled"

#Monsterdon

Are these supposed to be kids & teenagers? A couple of them seem to have aged out. #monsterdon

#monsterdon ALRIGHT GIANT SPIDER TIME LET'S GO PACKERSSSSSS!"

"Just an illusion"

This is peak 80s kids' horror movie.

Colored light coming out of a foggy crack.

Light as a feather, dumb as a board... #Monsterdon

Light as a feather, stiff as a board, light as a feature, stiff as a board

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

@Taweret Resting up for Cinco de Mayo #monsterdon

#Monsterdon this is like a kid version of reading the necronomicon out loud immediately after finding it

I was absolutely this girl #monsterdon #thegate

That boy is wearing a blouse, ain’t he? #Monsterdon

Now you did it. You opened the mystical geode.

#Monsterdon

We're 18 minutes in, not much has happened, and I've already got a bingo!

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986 #MonsterdonBingo

"That's impossible!"

"That ... is why you fail."

#monsterdon #TheGate

"And don't forget that Angus, who is a dog, gets his pills every day, in his *dog* food."

#Monsterdon

Oh, oh, are they going to play stiff as a board light as a feather.

#Monsterdon

Why are there so many unshielded candles in these teen party? That's what's really freaking me out here.

#Monsterdon

Future lumberjack psychic!

#Monsterdon

The candlelight ghost story part of this party evening

#Monsterdon

Light as a feather, stiff as a board, coming up.

#monsterdon #TheGate

"We have klaatu barada nichto at home"

#Monsterdon

Apparently this teen drinking party is now just a coed slumber party.

#monsterdon #TheGate

It says "Drink your Ovaltine" #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe That explains a LOT *waves hand at general situation*

#Monsterdon

Is it just me, or is there a crazy amount of smoke inside?

#monsterdon

Geode number two was filled with farts at the time it was formed #monsterdon

is there a pod of whales singing in that hole?

#monsterdon

Great, hell is sending them assembly language.

#monsterdon #theGate1987

@Lazarou What an interesting Tom Hanks movie. 🤣

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

Mmmmm look at those juicy crystals

I love a MacGuffin

#Monsterdon

80s toys were always gateways to demonic incantations and possession.

#Monsterdon

Eh, it's just "Vote Reagan" said backwards. #Monsterdon

Geode *and* a light show. Now you're getting demonic messages on your magnet sketcher.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

DON'T READ THE ARCANE WORDS OUT LOUD!!

#monsterdon

I see cigarettes but no smoke

#monsterdon

Please don't let anything happen to Angus #monsterdon

Whoops, they just got a full dose of the zombie gas, sorry kids. #Monsterdon

Urban legend says that that geode contains Marcellus Wallace's soul

#Monsterdon

Now they can make a bong out of it #Monsterdon

Wild teenage party downstairs, but the kid is upstairs cracking open a geode while holding a jar of dead moths.

Relatable.

#Monsterdon
#TheGate

Purple glow!

#monsterdon

"When ninety-seven dog years you reach, smell as good you will not"

#Monsterdon

Do any of you young people fully understand the amount of hairspray in this scene? We blew a hole in the atmosphere with that stuff.

#Monsterdon #TheGate

"No parties!"

[Smash cut to a party]

Classic #Monsterdon

lol, 'Jerk Teen the Sister has a crush on'

#Monsterdon

Mom this is the 80s, kids alone at home without a party would be a *sin*.

#Monsterdon

Chekhov's bugs?

#Monsterdon

LOL the faux-punk mallrat jacket

#monsterdon

Bees in a jar metaphor about something #monsterdon

Kid is going to bed and the dad is STILL wearing a tie? Back when I wore a tie to work every day, that tie didn't stay on during the train ride home, much less all the way through the evening.
#monsterdon

You see, son, your friend Terry is a bad seed. A hopeless loser.

#monsterdon

Chekhov's geode

#Monsterdon #TheGate

Found it on Youtube! Link for other Tubi orphans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5CV10tDJEY

#monsterdon

So far… two kids were digging and cracked open the septic tank. Some bugs flew out. #monsterdon

The movie suddenly morphs into Weird Science.

#monsterdon #TheGate

Trying to help a kid understand another kid acting out because his mom died is like 12 levels more complicated than I expected this movie to get

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "That hole, it's weird."

"Son, everyone has an anus."

#Monsterdon somebody please let those bees free

No dismissing, no mansplaining, no misdirection. just decent parenting.

#monsterdon

Chekhov's Terry

#Monsterdon #TheGate

Just so long as Terry doesn't start torturing animals #Monsterdon

Ah, the old urban legend of the worker's body walled up in the house's ... walls.

"Terry's a little ... weird"

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

@Victorsigmoid absolute bastards! #Monsterdon #Moths

...the most useful father/son talk ever seen in a #monsterdon ??? REALLY?

Aw man. #Monsterdon always starts before I finish making my pizza.

If only there was a way to predict what time it starts and make my pizza earlier.

@SordidAmok what you really need is uBlock Origin adblocker on Firefox... #monsterdon

Bill Clinton was so _young_ back then….

#monsterdon
#TheGate

With a gate to extra dimensional space, who cares about grounding!

#Monsterdon

Surely you can launch your rockets in a field (especially a baseball one) near your school?

#monsterdon

"There won't be any problems"

Foreshadowing!

#monsterdon

the title suggests that this house will take care of you, miss. #monsterdon

He sure has a lot of Young Astronauts patches on his jacket. I was in my elementary school’s Young Astronauts club and I didn’t even know they **had** patches.

#Monsterdon #TheGate

Mrs. VanDeGriff?

#monsterdon It's science

#Monsterdon Grounded when your parents are going out of town. Sure, Dad.

#Monsterdon 🧒 🧒 ⛏️ 💰 🌪️ 🔥 👿 😱

are those whole cooked carrots?

Which one of them will start making geode shapes out of their mashed potatoes.

#Monsterdon #TheGate

As a new homeowner, I am excited to find out where the hellmouth under my new house is.

#monsterdon #TheGate

The 70s and 80s, when home architecture died.

#Monsterdon

a good amount of the SFX commentary track is about real and fake geodes, geode effects, etc. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon I like how she said "get in the car!" after Al was already in the car.

Would be nice if there were some aliens down there

But I guess rocks are okay too

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon A hundred bucks for that geode?

And now the dumb kid broke into the basement and let out all the smoke! Stupid kids. #monsterdon

cute pup!
#monsterdon

Cool Masters of the Universe t-shirt.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

Chekov's Model Rocket

#monsterdon

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!

#monsterdon

HOA gonna throw an absolute fit when they see this 🙄

#monsterdon

This is the most ominous tree removal I've ever seen

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon A running kerosene lantern in a treehouse, no bueno! And then, lightning killed the tree. This gives me vibes from Poltergeist, so in a lot of ways, die tree, die.

I hope this kid is up to date on his tetanus shots. Cause that’s how you get tetanus.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

What an underwhelming title card.
#Monsterdon #TheGate

#monsterdon

Oooh didn't the giant spiders in The Great Spider Invasion come in geodes? #Monsterdon

call before you dig folks #monsterdon #thegate

They found the sewer main!

#Monsterdon

It’s cool when you don’t need the blacksmith to crack open geodes for you.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987 #StardewValley

A geode from the Franklin Mineral Museum. So spooky.

#Monsterdon

Congratulations, kid. You found the earth's butthole.
