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

lol, love the little imps!

#Monsterdon

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

We have reached the gory portion of the movie. 🫣

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

That monster is killing our socks! #Monsterdon

dad's made of condensed milk?

#monsterdon #TheGate

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

Godfather IV

#Monsterdon

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

@CactuarJoe They kind of do look like the manual pages from the 3rd Edition era, but that was in the 2000s.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

#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. 🚀

#Monsterdon #TheGate

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

Or Terry becomes a freedom fighter when Red Dawn happens

#monsterdon

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

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

"Weekend At Bernies III: Bernies Dog!"

#Monsterdon

The old dog gods #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

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

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

why would it be demons? its probably just leprechauns. they love to burrow

#Monsterdon

#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

I knew it. The bug zapper was what was preventing the demon infestation.

#monsterdon #TheGate

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

Well, that's gonna be hard to clean up.

#Monsterdon #TheGate

#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."
