Did they do a flip transition?

What is this, Happy Days???

#monsterdon

I wanna play with rockets now

#Monsterdon

Yeah, insult the old gods some more. In case they weren't mad yet. #Monsterdon #TheGate

#monsterdon Look, nerdy kid. Keep up. We're done with the demon stuff. We're doing rocketry now.

the hole's gone! movie's over

#monsterdon

Or Terry discovers that he looks Pretty In Pink and goes to prom

#monsterdon

Ok you don't have to INSULT the demons, just set some healthy boundaries #monsterdon #thegate

Is the dog gonna get thrown into the hole and then return as a demon dog #monsterdon #thegate

Oh, is it FUNNY DISRESPECT FOR A CORPSE time???

:/

#Monsterdon

Lol stop carrying that fucking dog corpse around!!

#Monsterdon

maybe angus is just pining for the fjords #Monsterdon

Oh god, the dumb jock is gonna drop Angus in the hole, isn't he? #Monsterdon

The dead dog is still inline for that oscar
#monsterdon

I wish opening wormholes were as easy as they make it look, no 'exotic matter' or anything, just a dog sacrifice

#Monsterdon

One day I will get my shizz together and watch #Monsterdon with you.

"Weekend At Bernies III: Bernies Dog!"

#Monsterdon

@moira "We spent three weeks trying to teach 12 year olds how to say "necronomicon" and failed. It's The Dark Book". #Monsterdon

If you are going to put a wall over the hellmouth, I recommend not using the wall that has a door in it.
#monsterdon

Where did the liner notes Necronomicon come from? His dad bought it in Europe.

And it's the band's only album, because they all died ...

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

people who are really into demonology are the dorkiest edge lords in the world tho

steer clear, kid

#Monsterdon

Terry: [sees sewer gas escaping from the cracked septic tank] Demons.

#monsterdon

"that's like the bible for demons" #monsterdon

Yep, just textbook demons, happens all the time #monsterdon

"Dark Book?"

Don't you mean NECROMONICON?

#Monsterdon

Yeah a couple of 2x4s will definitely keep out the minions of hell. Works every time. #Monsterdon #TheGate

#Monsterdon "You got demons." *nods sagely*

yes, this line makes the price of admission worthwhile

Swear count: 1

#monsterdon

young bob vila delivers the bad news

it's demons

#monsterdon #TheGate

“Trezz uncool”
Nailed the accent

#Monsterdon #TheGate

They put the bug zapper...the obvious electric sparking thing....

...next the grill and a bag of charcoal.

#monsterdon #theGate1987

Anybody else remember Satanic Panic? The PMRC?

#monsterdon

I am still not entirely sure what happened last night

#Monsterdon

Their clothes are all the colors of roll of NECO wafers
#monsterdon

these """friends""" are being excessively uncool about her pet's recent demise. #monsterdon

The old dogs, powerful entities indeed

#Monsterdon

I bet this kid plays a lot of D&D. He should know better than demon taunting. #monsterdon

#monsterdon It's a movie trope that kids are into a fantasy or scifi book that just happens to be relevant.

But why only kids? How come there's never a movie where an adult is reading a sci-fi book that happens to be startlingly relevant to the film.

@steggy And playing LP records backwards to hear satanic messages!
#monsterdon

Play the record backwards!

#Monsterdon #TheGate

In 3 years Terry will be JD from Heathers

#monsterdon

serving Black Sabbath realness

#monsterdon

Stonehenge Where The Demons Dwell! #Monsterdon #TheGate

There's Something About That Girl's Hair sticking up

#Monsterdon #TheGate

Why was Angus pretending to be Terry’s mom?

#monsterdon

Audiences love human body counts piling up, but you kill off a pet and you lose them instantly. #monsterdon

"You wanna come over later and mess around?"
"Only if we keep our clothes on this time."

#monsterdon #TheGate

#Monsterdon *ooof* killed yer dog, awkward

#monsterdon His mom watches a lot of MTV and was really inspired by the "Total Eclipse of the Heart" video.

Neat wall effect

#Monsterdon

"It's my mom! IN A DIAPHANOUS GOWN. GROSS." #monsterdon #TheGate

those moths are coming back for revenge. #monsterdon

The moths are getting angry. #monsterdon

This is a shockingly authentic portrayal of the late 80s. My older siblings put my shirt through a clothesline and we ripped the hardware out of the brick wall. #Monsterdon #StatuteOfLimitations

#monsterdon When a deep hole in the ground starts to moan, that's probably a Bad Sign™️

so far the most unrealistic thing in the movie is the teens acknowledging the 12 year old

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Me: "the dog knows something is about to go down!" kiddo: "the dog is the best character in the movie."

"...is the levitation in the room with us now?"

#Monsterdon #TheGate

#monsterdon You believe in all that stuff? .. pause ... me too..

Damn, what a lame party. Let's hope the demons get this thing really pumping!
#monsterdon

Okay, telling ghost stories around a bunch of lit candles is cool.

#monsterdon

Sounds like they had a blue whale buried under the tree. #Monsterdon #TheGate

The dog knew what was up.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

DON'T READ THE SATAN WORDS, DIPSHITS #Monsterdon

does that make her brother Jeremy? #monsterdon

Risky Business Party!

#monsterdon

She gets to have a party, but the dog can’t have a snack or get on the furniture? #monsterdon

Props to director for not hiring 30 year olds for a 'teen' party.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🧒 🧒 ⛏️ 💰 🌪️ 🔥 👿 😱

Give Angus some chips, kids. Angus deserves his treatos!

This is a joint US-Canada film.

#monsterdon

@Victorsigmoid It's fine, there probably won't be any frogs

#monsterdon

Flashbacks to what happened to the donkey in Batchelor Party

#Monsterdon

lol
"No parties!"

cuts to classic 80s teen party

#Monsterdon

You see, the hole in The Gate (1987) is actually a metaphor for coming of age as well as the trauma of growing up trans in a cisgender society, in this essay I will...

#monsterdon #theGate1987

@rickpelletier "I can take care of the house... by throwing the biggest party of the year!!!" #monsterdon

Oh no! All of the moths in this jar that I captured are dead!

-- THE END --

#monsterdon

wow, was that a dad with actual sound advice for his offspring? are we sure this is a #monsterdon movie guys?

That fatherly advice sounds plausible and maybe good even.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

Oh dude a geode. Look geode dude.
#Monsterdon #TheGate

Grounded, the gate is in the ground... no problem!

#monsterdon

"It's something about that hole. It's so ... eldritch and chthonic"

#Monsterdon

How did Tubi know I needed moisturizing hair care products?

#monsterdon

"If terry killed a homeless guy you'd kill one too..."

#Monsterdon

It was all a dream! Well that was an extra short short film. See ya next week gang.
#Monsterdon #TheGate

Watch that boy....killing moths for fun....

#Monsterdon

aw man, I was a huge model rocket nerd. I had most of those. #monsterdon #TheGate

And that's why you don't dig near the septic tank kids.

#Monsterdon #TheGate

This is why you gotta call the utility company before you dig.

#monsterdon #TheGate

#monsterdon .. Thunder Egg...

Nice geode! #monsterdon

Oh no. Are there gonna be spiders coming out of these eggs?

#monsterdon #TheGate

GEODES!

#Monsterdon

I've never seen a tree fort IRL. Only in movies #monsterdon

awwwww, doggie!

*remembers plot

Oh.

#Monsterdon

1st act? Fuck that!
#Monsterdon

So... was there a first half to this film that we missed?

#monsterdon

"Dear Jason, we've moved again. Try and find us this time, sucker!" #Monsterdon

I remember this kid is a Space Nerd and I am Space Nerd so I empathised with the Stephen Dorff character a lot.

#Monsterdon

ah yes, kids on bikes in the 80s #monsterdon

You know it's a 1980s movie when there's a kid riding a bike.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

What a very beige neighborhood

#Monsterdon
