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

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

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

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

@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.

#Monsterdon

Too late they realize they should have called their parents before the phone melted. Live and learn. #monsterdon

"Mr. Telephone man, there's something wrong with my line. When I dial my baby's number, I get a demon lord every time." #monsterdon

They were hoping to create action figures and a whole merchandise line. #monsterdon

NOW anyone who hasn't seen this before understands why we were all so excited 🍿#monsterdon

Still can't get over that girl's hair....

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Wow. Model rockets. Don't see much of that hobby in movies.

A+ little demon guys

#monsterdon #TheGate

i can’t remember who got one of those rocket rockets and it just exploded, LOL

#monsterdon #theGate

Basically I like Terry and I don't like Clownface

#monsterdon

Kids - don't trust adults. They're either dogs in disguise or filled with goo.

#Monsterdon

That monster is killing our socks! #Monsterdon

kid, i do not believe... ah. nevermind, you figured it out, i see. #monsterdon

IT'S NOT YOUR REAL PARENTS KID IT'S A TRAP

#monsterdon #TheGate

Godzilla's shadow! #monsterdon

F slurs were pretty normal in 1986. We didn't know any better

#monsterdon

demons love to break windows

#Monsterdon

This is why 80s parents would tell their kids, explicitly:
+ Don't answer the door.
+ Don't tell anyone on the phone that we aren't here for the entire weekend.
+ Don't light any fires.
+ Don't do any drugs.
+ Don't summon any demons. #Monsterdon #TheGate

hey it’s mothra! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🧒 🧒 ⛏️ 💰 🌪️ 🔥 👿 😱

MOTHRA

MOTHRA'S BACK, BITCH! #Monsterdon

MOTH'S REVENGE #monsterdon

#Monsterdon INSECT VENGEANCE

I’m pretty sure this is the only late-80s demon movie that was **not** marketed as “Demons 3” in any country.

#Monsterdon #TheGate

Clownface personally created the ozone hole

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

She also got weed and a vibrator

#monsterdon

@apLundell i think he tossed the battery-powered launcher behind a desk

#monsterdon

i only launched a model rocket once. it wasn't even a proper rocket, we just made a makeshift one out of cardboard and a model rocket engine. as one might expect, it did NOT fly straight and it careened into a neighbour's yard

#monsterdon

They will make cemeteries their cathedrals and the cities will be your too—oops, wrong movie.

#Monsterdon #TheGate

#monsterdon Wait, wasn't it a whole thing that he had a launch pad with an electric igniter?

2 D-Cell batteries and all that?

Why is he now using a match?

"The Thunderbolt!"

It's not a rocket, it's a dildo

#Monsterdon

I remember building a balsa wood rocket in maybe 5th grade and shooting it off. I wonder if they still let kids do fun stuff like that in school....#monsterdon

Chekhov's literal gun!

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

Hunting down rockets that you've launched in neighborhoods is an absolute bitch btw 🥴

#monsterdon

She's actually trying to be a good sister here, awww. 🚀
