i've heard of people facing their demons but honestly i wouldn't expect anyone to find enlightenment in an 80s suburb

#monsterdon #TheGate

You can tell Terry is okay now about his mom dying because he's not wearing any of that satanic rock and roll clothing anymore. 🌄

#Monsterdon #TheGate

Great movie. Did nothing for my deepening fear of sink holes and wall-horrors.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Happily ever after!

Terry's shoe! The happy ending we all needed! #monsterdon

#monsterdon So, when the parents get back, they're both going to be sent to reform school, right?

And now, a soft synth ending theme <3 #Monsterdon

Just another day in suburbia
#monsterdon

so the atrium doesn't exist on the _outside_ of the house, just on the _inside_, and the hole in the topof the house only exists on the _inside_ too so

#monsterdon #TheGate

Never really addresses whether the returned-dog has a soul or not.

#Monsterdon

Neighbors across the street like, those damn Johnsons across the street summoning Satan again :/ #Monsterdon

HURRAY EVERYONE'S OUT OF THE CLOSET. Now that's a denouement. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon so destroying the demons brings back the dog but doesn't clean up the house. fair enough

Those are clearly not model rockets. Fireworks are different, movie. #Monsterdon #TheGate

#monsterdon Definitely way too much pm2.5 for my taste! But yay, sunrise, kinda screwed up the house, and lost best friend and sister in the walls, but hey, you win some, you lose some.

Kid has good hand eye coordination.

#Monsterdon

Sadly, Glen was not allowed to enter the promised land.

#Monsterdon

The morning after demon slaying is always the best morning after.

#Monsterdon
#TheGate

the kid gained 4356 XP for that. #monsterdon

every time NASA launches a rocket, a demon cries #Monsterdon

Huh, just one rocket? Normally a Hell Knight would take 3 and a Baron 6. (Good thing it wasn't a cyberdemon)

#monsterdon

Claymation violence!!

#Monsterdon #TheGate

So the big guy was some sort of soft caterpillar
#monsterdon

@hosford42 "The Gate (1987)" #Monsterdon

lol, it was a delayed action "symbol of family love"

#Monsterdon

LOL that shot of him flying out of th ehouse, haha.

#monsterdon

It really should be a Teddy Ruxpin instead of a creepy doll

#monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

TRIVIA GATE

Homage to Harryhausen!

Glen shooting a rocket into the Demon Lord was directly lifted from 'It Came from Beneath the Sea' where a torpedo was fired into Harryhausen's giant octopus.

#TheGate

#monsterdon They're going to need a significant amount of clean fill to plug that hole in the floor. I mean, trucks and trucks worth.

“Batteries not included.” Typical.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

Satan’s one weakness… model rockets

#monsterdon

Kidd later went on to become handball champion in the 1999 Olympics
#monsterdon

The Rayest of Harrhausen style demon gods is here. I want to pet his huge four eared four eyed head.
#Monsterdon #TheGate

#Monsterdon let the moths goooooo

this is all awesome tho. like I don't care about the characters at all but all the practical effects are glorious

#Monsterdon

I've been to some messy house parties, never one that created a literal hellmouth though.....

Lovely 80s cloud effects there, like Ghostbusters or Raiders of the Lost Ark

#Monsterdon

Eye gotta hand it to him. #monsterdon

He sees you when you're masturbating

#monsterdon #TheGate

what uh

happened just now

#Monsterdon

Wait. What just happened? Why did the Big Bad run off?

#Monsterdon

Awww.. big demon's got eepy eyes. #Monsterdon #TheGate

oh no it's one of the little dudes, but big

#monsterdon

The oversized phallic symbol will save the day

#monsterdon

Wait… reading 3 or 4 from The Good Book DIDN’T solve all of their problems?!?!?!
#monsterdon

I'm so used to old b movies where nothing happens until the last few minutes. this movie is just constant stuff happening

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon shoot a rocket into it

#monsterdon The little booger goblins had a very quick rave, and then ran away. Only to reform as the workman in the walls. Pulled deep into the closet, which I fully endorse as a method of sacrifice. Sacrifice that closet!

Okay, I'd never though about blinding someone with a barbie!
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🧒 🧒 ⛏️ 💰 🌪️ 🔥 👿 😱

boombox >> gun

here, have my foot
#monsterdon

Terry's gone dark side, noooo! 👅

#Monsterdon #TheGate

@brooke The D battery is lethal in Philly. And a boom box can have up to 8 of 'em in there. #Monsterdon #TheGate

#monsterdon "Here's Tiiiiny Johnny!"

Are zombies busting thru your walls and kidnapping you best friend? Do bug zappers scare you? Got minions? No problem! Have you home tested for gas leaks today!

#monsterdon

It really was three ghoulies in a zombie trench coat!

#Monsterdon #TheGate

The zombie was made of little dudes!!!

#monsterdon #TheGate

Ah yes the patented Geraldo zombie-fighting technique: break its nose with a folding chair

#monsterdon

I would've left the house a very long time ago tho is the thing

#Monsterdon

welp that's one sacrifice down #monsterdon

It would be funny if completely unrelated to the demon summoning, the family bought a house with walls just full of zombies. #monsterdon

Chekhov's dead guy in the wall

#Monsterdon

Early Dr. Who Cybermen episode cameo.

#Monsterdon

Stranger Things took a whole season to do that underground scene.

#Monsterdon #TheGate

Girl better not get that candle too near her hair!
#monsterdon

Exploda-Bible has been giving me the giggles for five minutes now

#Monsterdon

The girl holding both candles should really be a lot more careful with how close those flames get to her bangs. Fuego!!

#Monsterdon #TheGate

This movie is PG-13 which means it was aimed at kids and was completely normal at the time. As I recall, it was actually rather tame. This might help explain Gen X.

#Monsterdon

@strangefour "you come into our realm, start stomping on us and causing a ruckus!" #Monsterdon

Wh...why do they have so much garlic in the house? Have they had problems like this before?#Monsterdon

I bet the demons are having a blast
#monsterdon

I think it's funny that nobody has mentioned her pineapple bolo tie #monsterdon #thegate

The real demons have arrived. #monsterdon

oh lol if you're starting from Genesis 1:1 you've got a long way to go until you reach whatever part actually repels the demons

#Monsterdon

OH sure, when Terry throws a bible into a hole, he banishes demons, but when *I* do it I'm "responsible for plumbing damage" and "no longer welcome at the Motel 6."

#monsterdon #theGate1987

#Monsterdon

That Bible had some real "Castlevania sub-weapon" energy in it. #Monsterdon #TheGate

Two separate people just made a Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch joke and I love yall so much #monsterdon #thegate

"It's gone! The last half hour of the film is nothin' but smooooth sailing!" #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Just pulled a blair witch, "I threw that map away, we couldn't use it, so what was the point of having it?"

The demons have Youtuber lighting in their little hidey hole.

#Monsterdon

That's one thing I do remember. How they keep fake closing the hole. This is like, what, the third time they're all "Well, it's closed now" #Monsterdon #TheGate

#Monsterdon bible doubles as a grenade

Hey he has no bites on him!
#monsterdon

#monsterdon This is what happens if you even take a peek at Twitter nowadays

So imps are basically Goombas? #Monsterdon

Gonna tell my grandkids that this movie is Minions #monsterdon

@MatthewTitus88 lol and just as I say that the portal shows up

#Monsterdon

Changing pictures as the house gets haunted. Love all the little touches in this movie.
#Monsterdon #TheGate

LITERAL ANKLE BITERS #Monsterdon

Imps, just 'imping around....

#Monsterdon

@SordidAmok Stranger Things doesn't have Terry.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

Christianity only enrages the demons, not stops them.

Welcome to demon town Terry!

#Monsterdon

The smoke effect is pretty darn good.

#monsterdon

really, this is just a small auxiliary hellmouth, kind of a delivery door for the trades, very old-fashioned but very popular in the time of the old gods

#monsterdon #TheGate

And the claymation worms! *chefs kiss*
#Monsterdon #TheGate

Unless Ms. Vandergrift is a demon slayer I'm not sure what you expect her to do, nerd child. #monsterdon

"Oh they need two sacrifices? Cool, we'll just go wait inside to have our throats slit." #Monsterdon

Everybody knows the countermeasure against monsters beneath the bed is a stuffed tiger

#Monsterdon

Bingo acquired! It took a while though

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

"We went to Sunday school" is my new pick up line.
