WE GOT HELLMOUTH IN THE BACKYARD SIIIIIIIIIIGN

#monsterdon #TheGate

Ah, I had to go help a person with a thing so I missed the rest of #monsterdon 😞

this #GSW win was a great #Monsterdon palate cleanser

#NBA #basketball

Missed the #monsterdon because i was out flying a kite.

2) choose "Filters" then "Add New Filter"
3) give the filter a title, check all boxes under contexts, choose hide completely and put "#Monsterdon" in the keyword box.
4) Click on "Save New Filter"

... and you're done.

@RobynGoodfellow Oh there is a clip online too. Love them little minions.

I appreciated that a new tree was planted over the entrance to hell. Gotta stop cutting down those old wood forests. #monsterdon

Smoking at 14:18; I must have been watching the dog scarfing chips from the bowl :)

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

Woo - I stand corrected; a lot of what I thought were stop motion shots were actually in-camera forced perspective with costumed actors!

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

I'm gonna go see what I can summon by playing *checks vinyl collection* "Don't Go Back to Rockville" backwards.

#monsterdon #TheGate

This is still a better gate though

#Monsterdon

I am getting a new respect for those, Xer kids had it different videos.

Apparently their parents left them home alone over the weekend to deal with demons on their own.

Now a days, you could have streamed the album to keep the demons underground... anyone know how to stream albums backward?
#monsterdon

Lost the snark thread when my server went briefly down. But still a fun time was had! It was like Poltergeist without lead actors. Loved the claymation demons. And that the dog survived! Thanks, as always, @Taweret and co.
#Monsterdon

@diazona @Cherizilla There was bicycle too tho', at the very beginning. i was hoping for bicycle commentary but didn't get it

#monsterdon #TheGate

I just called The Gate a "film" I think I'm going to hell now.

#monsterdon

@moira @Zerofactorial definitely felt like it picked up toward the end, much like the movie itself #monsterdon

#monsterdon

That was good. I think I'll watch Invaders from Mars (1986) now in overtime. Alien Vampires invade, and it's up to kid to save the world.

commentary is going on and on about the dimensions of various blue screens #Monsterdon

@trixter Oh I saw a pile of comics but didn't catch any specific ones. Except an X-men parody comic I couldn't place Terry was holding when he was asleep.
#Monsterdon

Big thanks to @Taweret for this week's flick! It's actually one of my favorites from the 80s.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

@mmezabet Not in the one I saw.

This one needed Sean Connery pulling up in a fire truck, though

#monsterdon #TheGate

I thought there was going to be an explanation of the one anomalously "old" guy at the party. Maybe the true explanation is too embarrassing though #monsterdon

I will be interested to see the #monsterdon statistics tomorrow to see whether this feature really was viewed by fewer participants, or whether that was just what it seemed like

Eat bible, demons!

— those kids, if they had any sense of dramatic flair

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou @Taweret If so I kind of feel bad for that dog

#Monsterdon

anyway good job team and thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting ^_^

#monsterdon #TheGate

There's a guy running up from the basement, but it turned out to be a Tubi commercial #Monsterdon

Terry grows up, becomes an accountant, moves to New York, and you won't believe what he looks like now!

#monsterdon #TheGate

Shout out to Lisa Smith for making the dead dog doll!

#Monsterdon #TheGate

In my mind Mom and Dad left for an unexpected opportunity to visit Acapulco with the mom from Laserblast and never came back #monsterdon

Regardless, that's a wrap.

No snarky summary from me this time. A suitably 80's outing. Wish they didn't play up the pet's death (not actually death) for laughs though.

Thank's everyone. And thank you to @Taweret for hosting!

#monsterdon

You know kid, I like you but I feel like I need to keep an eye on you.

#Monsterdon

Can't excuse the slurs, but the little demon guys were fun. Suburbs in the 80s and it's all latchkey white kids? I am Jack's total lack of surprise. Thanks for the lovely hang! #Monsterdon

@allanb Actually I think it would be horrifying too #monsterdon

Nope, it just ends like they ran out of money, lol!

Thanks, @Taweret , for hosting! It was a fun night!

#Monsterdon #TheGate

i spent the main chunk of that movie in another tab trying to find a new denim vest after being reminded by the wardrobe in The Gate. I'd prefer to find a thrifted jacket and cut the sleeves off, but it's hard to thrift stuff in my size. i did find some cursed items though. cursed by demons? not sure. let's just say there was a Mountain Dew back patch

luckily the movie is playing again on the miyaku stream with the sfx commentary #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon well, that was fun as usual, guys! Thanks for all the fun!

And this one was actually fun. I mean, it's not good, but for an 87 horror movie aimed at a younger audience, it's not that bad.

Anyway, goodnight all! Until next week!

#monsterdon I hope this kid has better matches.

If you're reading this, you're at the tail end of a long stream of posts on the feed about #Monsterdon, a fediverse community movie-watching event.

This week we watched THE GATE (1987). It had cool creature effects, album notes with shocking production value, and a BUNCH of slurs.

See the post at the top of this thread for more info:

Happy May the Fourth everyone. Enjoy the celebratory Death Star explosion commemoration fireworks.
#Monsterdon #TheGate

Of course there’s a sequel. #Monsterdon

Also, I really wanted the annoying twins to be the 2 human sacrifices.

#monsterdon

Well that was a thing

Thanks @Taweret have a great week!!! #monsterdon #thegate

Just so y'all know, The Gate 2 is an *even worse* movie. #Monsterdon #TheGate

I wonder if insurance will cover the house. #monsterdon

Launch the little demon suckers into orbit with a toy rocket on a windy night? Worth a try a guess.. Oops demon-daddy just arrived.

#monsterdon

"We were gone for three days and the house has been destroyed.....like your mother's ass"

#Monsterdon

that family of critters at least got their house rebuilt
#monsterdon

Yeah, that one was up there with Chopping Mall, I enjoyed that. ^^ #Monsterdon

So ends another #Monsterdon with the masterpiece, #thegate1987. Our thanks to @Taweret for hosting, and for everyone lurking and posting. And remember #Monsterdoners: Demons aren't gonna ring the doorbell.

Moral of the story:

It's never too late to pre-plan your pet's funeral!

#Monsterdon

…and they all fucked off into the clouds. thanks all for another great #monsterdon and to @Taweret as always for hosting!

Mom and Dad just called from the airport. We have exactly 35 minutes to get this sleepover mess cleaned up! #Monsterdon #TheGate

Um, we don't see the parents return. Were those the *real* parents/hellspawn all along? Is that why there were *two* gates to hell on the property?

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

Aaaand that's it everyone! Thanks for coming to #monsterdon . We got a terrible plot and f'in AMAZING special effects.

See you next with with our gracious host @Taweret and a great cast of clowns including @RobynGoodfellow @JoeWynne @Cherizilla and you!

❤️

That was a fun one. I remembered there were great effects in that, but I didn't remember all of them. Thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting. I'm gonna spend the rest of the night playing my Iron Maiden albums backwards. #Monsterdon #TheGate

CURSES! FOILED BY CHEAP TOY PACKAGING!
#Monsterdon #TheGate

There is no evidence of the cool foyer skylight on the exterior of the house.

#Monsterdon

Thank you Canada 🇨🇦💕 #Monsterdon

Shewww!!

#Monsterdon

angus even got your shoe back for you, what a good boy #monsterdon

Everybody is back from Narnia! #monsterdon

Is Angus immortal now, or is he gonna die again next week? #Monsterdon #TheGate

Mom and Dad are gonna learn a hard learned lesson about leaving kids alone for a weekend. #Monsterdon #TheGate

Where were the neighbors for all of this?

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

@Lazarou It's fiiiine, the housing market in 1987 wasn't that bad.

#monsterdon #TheGate

They could have done a solid by having the dog come back much younger, or something.

#monsterdon

All because of radon.

#Monsterdon
#TheGate

Id also throw this kid out the door
#Monsterdon

ANGUS IS OKAY 🎉 🎉 🎉

#monsterdon #TheGate

You'll stab your evil eye out like that kid. How will you be the Old God cult leader now?
#Monsterdon #TheGate

and the rest of the party was at the last save state!

#monsterdon

Nasa 1 X 0 Bible #monsterdon

The true horror of this movie will be explaining to the parents.

#Monsterdon

Angus! #monsterdon

#monsterdon watch it all be a dream..

"That don't make NO sense!"

"It's a fool who looks for reason in the demon heart."

#monsterdon #TheGate

You, are *so* grounded, kid.

#monsterdon #theGate1987

What if the real being of pure love and light was the friends we made along the way? #monsterdon

That... didn't make any sense. #monsterdon

It's as if the Nothing never was! #Monsterdon #TheGate

So, the rocket was a Genesis Device?

#Monsterdon

I desperately need a gif of the kid being thrown out the front door :D #Monsterdon

OK so can ole Barbie Eyes see again?

#Monsterdon
#TheGate

Oh the Hellmouth is still in the backyard too. Wow your family lucked out getting a two Hellmouth house. That must have cost a fortune.
#Monsterdon #TheGate

The makers of this movie do not understand how model rockets work.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

Love Cthonic Style!

#Monsterdon

What did I say?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon yeah they don't let you buy the powerful rocket motors without id anymore

I was gonna close the hellmouth, but god damn capitalism. #monsterdon

Just hit the demons over the head with the D-cell batteries, what you going through all this other shit for
#monsterdon

@riedlr In another universe he would’ve said yes, then 60 years later:
#monsterdon

BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED
so sorry about your hellmouth

#Monsterdon #TheGate

SATAN HATES D-CELL BATTERIES #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🧒 🧒 ⛏️ 💰 🌪️ 🔥 👿 😱

The scariest thing of all "Batteries Not Included" 😱

@Zerofactorial #monsterdon
But did they spring for the Demon rider on their insurance policy?

@allanb I was told that all 1980s B-movies had to have a topless scene too #monsterdon
