"You got demons"
I'll be using that casually from now on
#monsterdon

WHERE IS TIPPER GORE WHEN WE NEED HER?

#Monsterdon

Yeah gotta call an exterminator for those demons.

Fortunately I know a guy. He wears the crown of the Night Sentinals.

#Monsterdon

Everything looks so brand new, from the clothes to every bit of clutter in the house to the paper thin layer of sod dying on the subsoil after the developers scraped off the original soil levelling the lot. It's almost as if the movie needs an ancient evil to feel halfway human.

#Monsterdon

Watching #Monsterdon, but not much wifi.

Heavy metal guy reminds me of a very young Roger Ebert

#monsterdon #TheGate

Do we get some monsters at last

#Monsterdon

Demons. It's like cooties. But way worse. #Monsterdon #TheGate

The Luke Skywalker haircut is a nice touch. #Monsterdon #thegate1987

Awww - albums, and liner notes

"We're not allowed to say Necromonicon"

#monsterdon #TheGate

French’s Mustard yellow cabinets?

FUCK YES 80s!!!

#Monsterdon

The gate as the name of the movie and the book about demons keeps making me think of Peter V. Brett's Demon Cycle books. And now I'm wondering why I stopped reading them in the middle of the series. Were they bad? Had I just caught up to his current book and didn't keep track of when the next came out?

(sorry, rambley and off topic)

#Monsterdon

@trixter I can tell you that it will come back stronger than before. Those trees suck.

#Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial Oh this movie is more CanCon than I even knew.
#Monsterdon #TheGate

Time for the boys to mess around #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Chekov's rocketry kit

"You got demons."

Terry is In The Know!

#Monsterdon #TheGate

why would it be demons? its probably just leprechauns. they love to burrow

#Monsterdon

So the nerdy guy figured all out while rocking in his bedroom and his friend is just ok with it?

WEVE GOT DEMONS

#monsterdon

You want demons? That's how you get demons. #Monsterdon #TheGate

@Zerofactorial I maintain that Al is actually pretty cool, but her friends are shit, and she's feeling pressure to act like them.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

I wonder if that's a Chekhov's rocket launcher #monsterdon

I love how everything is full of rainbow stripes and I REALLY love their yellow kitchen. 💛💛💛

#Monsterdon #TheGate

So much stuff is almost happening in this movie

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon this kid needs to set up a big alphabet on the wall and see what the moths want to spell

This is what's going to happen when I get rid of that Tree-of-Heaven in my backyard, isn't it?

#monsterdon #TheGate

"We got demons."

That is the worst overhead lamp in the world over their dining room table

Did everyone have a convertible? #Monsterdon

probably should've unplugged that lamp like three days ago, clearly unsafe #monsterdon

@strangefour imdb says they're a heavy metal band from Toronto #monsterdon

@jsadow Munchies and SCRUNCHIES!!

#Monsterdon

Rock & Roll is the corrupting force...

#Monsterdon

Chekhov's model rocket. #Monsterdon #TheGate

Oh no! It's... A hole. #Monsterdon

Prediction: Something stalking teens at the beach-party…at least for awhile, it turns into a slasher-movie.

#HorrorOfPartyBeach
#monsterdon
#TheGate

I want to go to the mall and get munchies and stuff.

#Monsterdon

I knew it. The bug zapper was what was preventing the demon infestation.

#monsterdon #TheGate

‘Trez uncool’ is right! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon that was one those Legos under his bed! Y'all know which one I mean

Award for shittiest sister goes to ... Alexandra! #Monsterdon #thegate1987

Hey, they installed those automatic doors!

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

Wait, wasn't the sister making eyes at a boy at the party, and now he's in her kitchen with her other friends, but the friends are saying the boy she likes is going to be at the beach?

I hope everyone gets killed by monsters just so I don't have to figure this out

#Monsterdon

@strangefour GOBOTS HAVE BEEN SIGHTED.

#monsterdon #TheGate

was that kid’s mom dead and that’s why he saw her? also, the walls are filled with cockroaches AND THE FRIEND KILLED THE DOG!

#monsterdon #theGate

Did you know this movie is actually a coded confession of how the director faked the Moon landing? It's true*

#Monsterdon

Oh hey. The Old Gods. Lovecraft would have hated this movie.
#Monsterdon #TheGate

TRÈS UNCOOL #monsterdon

From what can tell this is like a prequel to "Todd and the Book of Pure Evil" but produced by the people who brought us "The Kids of Degrassi Street" #Monsterdon

TRÈS UNCOOL #monsterdon

Al has some pretty sketchy friends #monsterdon

@paco @steggy The Satanic Panic!

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

whoa, I don't think you can reclaim that term, kid #Monsterdon

Suddenly, flute

#Monsterdon

Looking at that oven I can almost taste the Swanson frozen tv dinner. #monsterdon

Remember when records had really cool books sometimes? One thing I miss about old vinyl. #Monsterdon

Peer pressure at work. Dang. Why is it so potent?

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

You know it's the 80s because the toddler is casually using the F slur. Wait, or is it the 2020s... #Monsterdon

I was not expecting that particularly slur from a kid. But I was a pretty sheltered kid...

#Monsterdon

did people do that to their bangs for real?

#monsterdon

oof i always forget how much people in these old movies say that word and then i get all startled #Monsterdon

He just stole Glen’s Bran Flakes! #Monsterdon

Yeah, Loverboy here will dig a hole in SATAN'S OWN WELL-MANICURED LAWN and put the DOG IN IT #Monsterdon

This whole movie is Satanic Panic by another means.

#Monsterdon

"Lover boy" is such a devastating comeback. Sick burn little dude!

#Monsterdon #TheGate

we'll all to go the mall with your dead dog and we'll carry him around and get his hair done like a doggie weekend at bernie's!

#monsterdon #TheGate

Uhhh... no one wore their hair like this in 80s....

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon First, but hopefully not last time I'll get to use THAT sentence

Uh oh. He used her full name. She’d best be mindful.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

I'm having a rather hard time taking that hair seriously

#Monsterdon

The sister's clothes and earings are peak 80s.
#Monsterdon

SLUR ALERT

HEY. #monsterdon

Glen is right, girls.

Can't remember if responsible for Satanic Panic or capitalizing on it. #Monsterdon #TheGate

#Monsterdon for anyone wondering, yes, that's what you looked like playing air guitar when you were 12.

If we only understood how inevitably it leads to 'music' like this, we'd allow far fewer mothers to die. (Sure, it would cramp Disney's style, but.)

WHOA #monsterdon #thegate

#Monsterdon lmao the big bird satanic incantation etch a sketch

"Cool out"? I think you're mixing metaphors there, lady. #Monsterdon

Yeah Glen, cool out. #Monsterdon

yeah Glen, cool out

#monsterdon

The colors. #monsterdon #thegate

I guess metal and pride flags really were gateways to the occult. :char_shrug:

#monsterdon

what kid rolls their eyes when a friend's dog dies?!?!?!

#monsterdon

@strangefour It can be both.

#monsterdon #TheGate

This geeky metal boy is a vibe #monsterdon

Nerd metal \m/ #monsterdon

Wow at her hair
#Monsterdon

@SRLevine @trixter Hmm interesting theory

#Monsterdon

So Terry's fine

#Monsterdon #TheGate

The great D&D scare of the 80s, representing!

#Monsterdon

The rock song or whatever he was rocking out to was in 5/4. Surprising.
