Can utility spotters find portals to hell?

#monsterdon #TheGate

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

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987 #StardewValley

Take a big bite, kid.

#monsterdon #theGate1987

We have geode sign!

#Monsterdon

Spooky geode ... ✅

#Monsterdon #TheGate

I may be behind the group a little but it's #Monsterdon time!

Come watch The Gate with us, I promise it's a solid B+ of a kids horror film.

hell yeah rocks
#monsterdon

So that was the first reel, right? #monsterdon

Crite egg?

#monsterdon

You can tell how many takes they did cutting up this tree by how many random partial cuts there are in that trunk!

#Monsterdon #TheGate

Ooh nice rock find

#Monsterdon

and the moral of the story is "don't tear down your kid's treehouse. EVER."

#monsterdon #TheGate

SHIT, SPIDERS INCOMING #Monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 he's going to curse them to hell and then.... #monsterdon

baby stephen dorff #monsterdon

...coconuts? Is he going to do the horse thing?

#monsterdon

i need a jacket like that right now #Monsterdon

Uh-oh. Getting Giant Spider Invasion flashbacks

#Monsterdon

@wohali #monsterdon
I wasn’t late. The movie was early?

Was this dreaming about experienced events or was it prescient?

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

Did all the "kids in a horror movie" in the 1980s just...share the same *dog*?

I swear I've seen that dog in five other films.

#monsterdon #theGate1987

Ooh poor kid! He had a prophetic dream? #monsterdon

Sure, kid, start wandering around the active chainsaw. #Monsterdon

@moira

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Damn I already got like 6 things on my bingo card.

@riedlr the spark effects are _exactly_ the same, the imprinting is real

#monsterdon #TheGate

A dream. But of course. But the tree *did* fall.

Chekhov's chainsaw!

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

that’s what happens when you don’t build to code kids #Monsterdon

Why are they cutting the tree into dinner plates?

#monsterdon

In the 80s it took dozens of people to remove trees.

#Monsterdon

and then he looks out the window and sees his treehouse being destroyed, lol get wrecked nerd

#monsterdon

Clearly a dream, but very evocative! #Monsterdon

Gotcha! It was just a dream! Haha! Man, are you gullible!

Can we never use this device again?

#Monsterdon

that's the biggest work crew I've seen to take a single tree down

#monsterdon

Oh finally got #monsterdon working!

#Monsterdon 🧒 🧒 ⛏️ 💰 🌪️ 🔥 👿 😱

DOGGGGGGG

mom's gonna build a tennis court there

FOR NOW

#monsterdon #TheGate

I've got the sound turned off until the jump scare's over, this is taking forever

#Monsterdon

Treehouse Disasters of the Damned!

(Brought do you by OSHA.)

#monsterdon #theGate1987

#Monsterdon nice transition from the nightmare to wake

Oh, I thought that noise was his butt.

#monsterdon #TheGate

Every kid in an 80s movie has a cool treehouse. I was always jealous.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

😎

#monsterdon

I was expecting a fakeout, but—oh, here it is.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

#Monsterdon is the monster of the movie loneliness?

for whatever reason, boy in the 80s/90s with a baseball hat discovering the horrors is a big part of my gender identity/goals #Monsterdon

-Stupid recovery walk done
-Stupid recovery milk-solid carb bomb shake loaded into feeder
- ceiling fan on, nesting completed
It's time for #monsterdon!

Did the kid just yell "Alf"?

Maybe one of these days I'll try out that #Monsterdon thing.

Not today though.

Is that the evil Poltergeist tree?

#Monsterdon #TheGate

Getting a late start on opening the gate

#monsterdon

@socketwench I vaguely recall there being jackets with built-in music players (including speakers!) like that back in the 80s. #monsterdon

Ooh. This one is always a fun watch #Monsterdon

I like his space nerd battle jacket

#Monsterdon #TheGate

#Monsterdon 🧒 🧒 ⛏️ 💰 🌪️ 🔥 👿 😱

Wasn't it just like afternoon and clear and sunny two minutes ago?

Tree house doubled for "Stand by Me".

#Monsterdon

If that'd been real lightning, it would have gone right thru that kid and the top of the tree, yeah?

#monsterdon

Was that brown sauce‽ How come I didn’t k ke about that in the 80s? #Monsterdon

Yes, the treehouse, the safest place in a lightning storm

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon just getting started, know nothing about this movie!

Three! #Monsterdon

The dude in the music video plucked out his eyes and put them in a bowl of water! Yep. MTV in its heyday. When there were still music videos.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

We’re jumping straight in. Great.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

Ahhh, I see Troll 2 just finished their scene in here.

#monsterdon #theGate1987

Spontaneous night, yeah I think we got dream sequence here guys. #Monsterdon

HP sauce instead of A1???

#monsterdon

it's been a while since i've seen this so i only remember a few specific scenes #monsterdon

And in walks Woman from Venus

#monsterdon #TheGate

Queue discount Pat Benatar track, this is the 80s

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon this is a very unsettling opening scene, i like it

Ooh, actual night-for-night. That's novel.

#monsterdon

I'm slipping. I have no idea what that movie was in the basement. #Monsterdon #TheGate

Hey, it's that kind of rug that Gary Larson admitted he always gave up drawing halfway through

#Monsterdon

I am already disappointed. According to YouTube, an 80s kid of this magnitude should have a constant rock and roll soundtrack playing throughout. It should come with just his *jacket*.

#monsterdon #theGate1987

Is this the actual basement from Stranger Things? #monsterdon #TheGate

Is this the upside down

#Monsterdon #TheGate

nobody ELSE'S dad goes out for this much milk

#monsterdon #TheGate

If you had any doubt this was made in the 80s, just look at that architecture and decor #Monsterdon

Nothing good ever happens when there are see-through stairs in ahorror movie.

#Monsterdon #TheGate

basement den, and a music video involving deepfrying eyeballs??

#monsterdon

So based on the opening credits/shot, this week we're watching Stranger Things (1987)? #monsterdon #thegate

I thought I heard “ALF” for a second there.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987 #1980s

"al?"
the dude from Quantum Leap comes jump scaring around the corner.
#monsterdon

Mom, dad, Alf?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon is go! 2 Minutes late but I gotta have my tea

#Monsterdon 🧒 🧒 ⛏️ 💰 🌪️ 🔥 👿 😱

Who has their living room rug katty-whompus like that?

I'd be more scared if those credits featured dripping blood #monsterdon

Kid's gonna find the kid from Phantasm in there.

#monsterdon #theGate1987

(McMansion Hell voice) An plant

#Monsterdon

Just back from JITB with the stoner meal supreme: jr. chicken sammy, jr. bacon cheeseburger, 2 tacos, an egg roll and curly fries. Let's do this. #monsterdon

This is very Stranger Things. #Monsterdon

Ah, suburbia. Terrifying!!

#Monsterdon #TheGate

nightmare fakeout?

#monsterdon

I had a jacket covered in patches too
#Monsterdon

...Wait is this the same house from Night of the Comet? #Monsterdon

Kid lives in the Poltergeist neighborhood. #Monsterdon #TheGate

"2 dollars! Cash!"

#Monsterdon

Just listen to that synth.... #Monsterdon

@jonny Thank you!

#Monsterdon

Orange day

#monsterdon

OMG I didn't know @plaidtron3000 was in this movie #monsterdon #thegate
