#monsterdon You've got to hand it to this fictional heavy metal band.

They really went all-in on their liner notes.

Bug zapper defensive shields: holding

#Monsterdon

@srol I was getting that vibe. 😂

#monsterdon #TheGate

The bug zapper is running without being plugged in?

#Monsterdon

Who plugged in the bug zapper again?

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

The evil book illustrations are so good #monsterdon

When I get awakened by a string sound, it takes me a minute to identify what the sound was, let alone where it was coming from.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

I'm going to at least allow that the people dropping slurs are established by the narrative to be shitty people.

#monsterdon #TheGate

So ... do those two get married 20 years from then, or what? #Monsterdon #thegate1987

"Demon's aren't gonna ring the doorbell."
Well vampires have to. Hmm.
#Monsterdon #TheGate

"Suck my nose until my head caves in!"

Much better, little dude!!

#Monsterdon #TheGate

Sometimes… dead is better.

#Monsterdon

CLAY! MAY! TION!

#monsterdon #TheGate

#Monsterdon 🧒 🧒 ⛏️ 💰 🌪️ 🔥 👿 😱

Glen's always reading the liner notes backwards too

We have stop motion shadow!

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

#Monsterdon and the dog came back... the very next day

If I recall the monsters are deliciously stop motion.....

#Monsterdon

@blogdiva #monsterdon My family stayed alive by not having enough money for a basement in which to find dangerous eldritch relics

We had chekov's dead mom, chekov's bottle rocket, and now a literal checkov's gun #monsterdon

Get a move on, movie. We are halfway there and, well, there's no Gate. #monsterdon

Are there different cuts of this? I think I just caught up with a slur people were talking about g about a while back. #monsterdon

did she say "🚬ing off"? this movie needs a proofreader

#monsterdon

Greeaaaat, now we're in Subspecies.

#monsterdon #theGate1987

Meesa Jar-Jar, Meesa lookin' for da geode

#monsterdon

No wonder they got bugs in the walls.

#Monsterdon #TheGate

@strangefour QUICK. WHAT COMIC IS HE READING.

#monsterdon #TheGate

That's 3 slurs by my.count #monsterdon

Worst trash talking in movie history

#Monsterdon #TheGate

Chekhov's third model rocket. #Monsterdon #TheGate

F slurs, R slurs, dead dogs, kids with guns. We're really lucky this movie didn't become a massive cultural touchstone like The Goonies. #Monsterdon

Let me guess The Thunderbolt will be used to kill the demonic threat #Monsterdon

Takin' all bets, which teen girl gets the axe for Sacrifice Number One? #Monsterdon

didn't he say they needed TWO sacrifices? and these Lee sisters seem to come in a pair... #monsterdon

@diazona I’m being reminded of the horrible language. 👎🏽

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

Uhh... is the slumber music lyric "Bad dog, bad dog, bad dog!"?!?!

#Monsterdon

Oh yup, it's the 80s all right. CW for the r-word. 😬

#Monsterdon #TheGate

The kid and the sister's friend have some chemistry.

#Monsterdon
#TheGate

Those sisters are the real demons she should find new friends #Monsterdon

What if a demon did ring the doorbell? Yeah, I still wouldn't answer it because they didn't text ahead. #Monsterdon #TheGate

I predict the rocket and the shotgun will prove to be important later.

#Monsterdon

Half-way mark: dead dog, dead moths, weird hair dos, and NO DEMONS!!

#Monsterdon

Come on, body, hole, we’ve been headed this way for 20 minutes# #Monsterdon

It was kind of a nice launch to be fair

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon "That's the best!" he shouts as the parachute fails to deploy correctly.

Al's friends are the worst.

#monsterdon #TheGate

slurriffic 80s tiems

#monsterdon #TheGate

There goes Chekhov leaving his gun lying around.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

LITERAL Chekhov's Gun #Monsterdon

I worry that the pure love and light died with the dog

#Monsterdon

An actual Chekhov's gun? That's no fun.

#monsterdon

Terry (holding fun): “I’m just looking at it…with my fingertips.”

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

Another prop that will be useful later, I guess.
Ah, firearms, a true american movie
#monsterdon

Best metal album ever, very complete instructions #monsterdon

thunder! Thunder! THUNDER-BOLT!

#monsterdon #TheGate

we need DIY slur-beeping for this one, apparently... #monsterdon

Yeaahup, what ha got here is a demon infestation.

#Monsterdon

Awww his sister loves him after all AND has purple pants from The Cube.

#Monsterdon

"We're gonna streak your hair!" is my new motto.

#Monsterdon

I hope this kid dies first. Mistreating poor Angus. #Monsterdon

I know he’s doomed us all, but I didn’t expect Steve Harrington here to try to do right by Angus. Kinda thought this would end at the dump. #monsterdon #TheGate

#Monsterdon ah the 80s, the decade of the r-slur

What to do with a dead dog... Oh look a convenient hole in the ground! That'll do. Bish bosh Bob's your uncle.
#Monsterdon #TheGate

It's all fun and games until the Rip and Tear guy has to clean up the aftermath on Mars. #monsterdon

"Demons aren't going to ring the doorbell." Good line. #Monsterdon #TheGate

Um... don't do that... #monsterdon

"Demons aren't gonna ring the doorbell" is a good line :D

#monsterdon #TheGate

The countdown right next to the rocket. 💀

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

"Demons aren't gonna ring the doorbell."

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

#Monsterdon (aside: i remember when you could launch model rockets without the faa getting on your ass

but i never became a supervillain because of it)

Is nerdy goth boy going to grow up into Giles the Librarian?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon man, we just need some D&D here to go full Satanic Panic up in this piece.

They have the whole house for them, Why they are playing on the basement?
#monsterdon

@catzilla If it's in Toronto, the house is now worth the GDP of a small Caribbean country.

#Monsterdon

i’m too old to keep up with these kids #Monsterdon

Please don't use cannon or fireworks fuse to launch model rockets unless you wanna lose some fingers.

#monsterdon #TheGate

Terry's tee collection is legit amazing though.

#monsterdon #TheGate

Tres uncool! #monsterdon

accidentally shin megami tensei

#monsterdon

The sister is OK, really. They have matching jackets, too!

#Monsterdon

@helianthropy I mean we've seen worse but this is kind of blah so far

#Monsterdon

Oh, wow. Al was very thoughtful when she was out with her shitty friends.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

Full send!

#monsterdon

Your older system is lowkey awesome, kid.
#Monsterdon

oh it's the old bugs bunny door trick

coyote's gonna come out staggering

#monsterdon #TheGate

Found it, it was filmed at 150 Curtis Crescent in the Greater Toronto Area. House is still there #monsterdon

Lemme explain--no, is too much. Lemme sum up: we accidentally summon demons that used to rule the universe to come and take over the world.

#Monsterdon #TheGate

I’m waiting for this move to be terrible.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

#Monsterdon

"TreZ uncool" 🤭

Not just demons, but undocumented demons #monsterdon

Yeah, as we all know God works in 6x6 turf squares. #Monsterdon

The creepy geek is not wrong! #Monsterdon

a lime green top and some lavender jeans. wow the costuming in this. #monsterdon

"No, that's demons you've got there. Bit of a puzzle really. I mean, (a) it's not going to respond to a nice piece of cheese and (b) it isn't going to fit into a mouse trap, now is it?" #Monsterdon #thegate1987

No "Thanks sis?"

#monsterdon

"The Dark Book" is like 3rd rate off brand Necronomicon after being translated through four different languages.
#Monsterdon #TheGate

#monsterdon Did somebody order a dead dog?

#monsterdon "You do not have any idea about theater kids being dangerous. Back in the 80's..."

Do not kill the dog, you little freaks! #monsterdon

@SnoopJ He is in his element.

#monsterdon #TheGate

#Monsterdon 🧒 🧒 ⛏️ 💰 🌪️ 🔥 👿 😱

right on, Terry.
