angels singing #monsterdon #thegate

#monsterdon Shades of Kentucky Fried Movie, "You must maintain twotal concentwation!" LOL. Made the little kid fly. Wheee!

Jumping into this #Monsterdon 18 minutes late after a phonecall and funding a Canada a accessible stream to find teens using a kids head like a ouijaboard so I guess I have to keep watching to figure out WTF is going on

Girl, don't feel bad, nobody is sexy in long johns.

Did the moths die? Or are they undead.

there's a disturbing lack of commodore 64s and other such microcomputers in this 80s movie

#monsterdon #TheGate

@Taweret Maybe „The Gate“ sounds too dull if you don’t know the movie, compared to Krull, Piranha, Yeti, Frogs, … #monsterdon

He saw the light

fixture!

#monsterdon

"just an illusion"‽ Whether you're in denial about how it happened, y'all just crashed him into the ceiling!!!! #monsterdon

@diazona I mean people do eventually pass out but... Actually I don't know, I went to like one teen drinking party and didn't drink.

#monsterdon #TheGate

Aka kulo alla neato?
#Monsterdon #TheGate

@EmptySet Oh wow that was quick! I didn't even get to make my bingo card yet

#Monsterdon

What do we do when our friends get a little ... strange.
#monsterdon

Wait, I was hoping all those teenagers would get killed. What a bummer!
#monsterdon

@jeffron @Taweret I do want to watch Slithis.

#Monsterdon

SFX commentary also talks about how this was all practical effects levitating a kid #monsterdon

Mischievous teenagers.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

The geode is emitting a colour unlike any seen on Earth
#Monsterdon #TheGate

SHIIIIIIIIIIIT! #monsterdon

ok i thought the levitation bit wasn't going to go anywhere and am pleasantly surprised

#monsterdon

Everyone went to Chess King for their wardrobe

#Monsterdon

This plaid clad gal's theories are going to come in useful, aren't they? #monsterdon

I wanted to try this as an experiment in my 3rd grade class but the kid we were trying to pick up got scared and we had to stop :(

#monsterdon

@Taweret The Slithis League boycott #Monsterdon

scientific explanation: the geode released helium. #monsterdon

gonna have to fix that

220, 221

whatever it takes

#monsterdon #TheGate

#Monsterdon now we're flying with geode power

Oh gosh, what a duo.
#monsterdon

The real power is being able to sit through these terrible movies week after week

#Monsterdon

@trixter I kind of thought they all were

#Monsterdon

"To trans..... transmit the energy" line got away from her there. #Monsterdon #TheGate

#Monsterdon what the hell are all these college kids doing at a 15 year old's house party?

Concentrate! Concentrate on making this a better movie!

#monsterdon #TheGate

The dog knows an incantation when he hears one! #Monsterdon

Occultist girl has a sweater from the Williams Sonoma holiday catalogue

#Monsterdon

@Taweret It's fine, the parents probably also smoke.

#monsterdon #TheGate

Come on THAT'S A FIRE HAZARD #monsterdon

Dude that geode is huge. I want a geode.
#Monsterdon #TheGate

Pretty clever use of contemporary child toy for an evil demon trapped in a hole for who knows how long.

#Monsterdon

Oh, they've got a mini-witch. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon
#TheGate

Careful everyone, the dog is on the hit list. Although it isn't gory, or so the #DDD reference suggests. #monsterdon

Nice of them to invite a 45-year old to their party #monsterdon

Nerdy chick has a crush on story teller. #Monsterdon

@trixter Honestly, kind of a step up. #Monsterdon

why do we have so few people this week? this movie won the poll by a landslide

#Monsterdon

Where's Buffy when you need her? #monsterdon

who invited this girl. #monsterdon

I bet that guy's name is Chet.

#Monsterdon #TheGate

"Weird things happen all the time."

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

Hey, that's no geode....

#Monsterdon

Name a cliche, this movie has it.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheGate

Jesus christ they're literally going to burn the house down #monsterdon #thegate

Animals and infants know the true names of all things. That's why they can't speak.

#monsterdon #TheGate

Ghost stories by the fireplace with candles???

#monsterdon

Meta...
trying to warn us about Facebook but we did not listen
#Monsterdon

Apparently the dog speaks Latin

#monsterdon
#TheGate

Angus understood that!

#monsterdon

Living in the sticks may play in, but my mom never would've let me babysit for a weekend before i could drive AND had ready access to a car
#Monsterdon

Never read the Necronomicon out loud. #Monsterdon #TheGate

#Monsterdon never read the magic incantation

Don't read that!!!!! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🧒 🧒 ⛏️ 💰 🌪️ 🔥 👿 😱

Fair warning, followers -- I'm running late, but I'm about to jump into #Monsterdon. So if you aren't joining us ... and why aren't you? ;) ... you might want to mute the hashtags #Monsterdon and #thegate1987 .

I'm wearing my AirPods Max, and the audio on my copy of this movie is great. There were voices of people in the party scene coming from all different directions with surround sound.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

I think I've had a Japanese soda that opened that way. #Monsterdon

The do may have recognized the spell

#monsterdon

Nice prop!

#monsterdon

That's a WOOD chisel. Shudders in tool owner.

#monsterdon

YEAH, Terry, IN DOG YEARS!

#Monsterdon #TheGate

Oh god the 80s fashion on this party is killing me.
#monsterdon

Succubus with big tits pops out.

#monsterdon #TheGate

"We can throw it off the roof tomorrow!"

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

#monsterdon "Now don't forget that Angus pees his kilt every day..."

btw don't be getting too attached to Angus

yes, english sheepdog, Classic #monsterdon

@trixter @blogdiva One of my co-workers kids (I can't recall which) broke their arm last year. Ages 6 & 4 I think (I'm not sure which one fell off the jungle gym), so it definitely still happens.

#Monsterdon

It is bugging me that Shazam cannot find this song at the party because I am sure I have heard it.

#Monsterdon

this nerd kid is mean to dogs too? he sucks

#monsterdon

justice for angus. #monsterdon

Al's learning the hard way that hosting a teen party in the 80s kinda sucked

#Monsterdon

Crimped hair everywhere!

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

"No parties"
Cue to: party #monsterdon

"No parties!" proceed to party #monsterdon

I hope these kids are conscientiously making sure Angus doesn't get into any dangerous party snacks #monsterdon

Dog CC: But I want to try some weed. #Monsterdon

the only good thing about the us now is that no one smokes anymore

#Monsterdon

Oh jeez, she's found Bro Squarechin :/ #Monsterdon

I feel like all that time I spent being a trustworthy 80s teen was wasted, given it seems all other 80s teens were apparently not trustworthy.
