"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

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

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

#andtheywerereallyokandeveryonelivedhappilyeverafter

#monsterdon

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

Eh, a shotgun would have done the same thing the Thunderbolt did #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

@davesdogmaggie they're really tight on masturbators #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

Well. That rocket was definitely not suitable for kids. #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

They did the mash, the monster mash. It was a household smash, and caught on in a flash.

#Monsterdon #TheGate

Even his toy rocket was more effective than the Glaive. #Monsterdon #TheGate

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" 😱

You think denizens of Hell ever attacked anybody who listened to A Flock Of Seagulls? Nope

#monsterdon

@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

"Batteries not included." Amen.

#Monsterdon
#TheGate

Super Kami Guru has unlocked your hidden potential kid.
#Monsterdon #TheGate

D Cells, for Demon Banishing.

#monsterdon #theGate1987

"Requires two "D" cell batteries"

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

@Lazarou I think I need to point out this is where the phrase "You'll go blind" came from "... if you're lucky" #Monsterdon

The movie is still happening but I'm not entirely sure why or to what end

honestly, just cut it there. rocks fall, everybody dies.

#Monsterdon

one of these toy rockets HAS to be effective against a demon horde

#Monsterdon

Nobody ever got demons from listening to Talking Heads

#monsterdon

Oh you guys are watching The Gate? That's like pure 1987 in a bottle.

#monsterdon

@allanb Denoument? In #Monsterdon? That's crazy talk

Look at all hims little hands. He needs some handshakes.
#Monsterdon #TheGate

#Monsterdon I find that thing's size *very* imaginable, thanks.

#Monsterdon 🧒 🧒 ⛏️ 💰 🌪️ 🔥 👿 😱

I don't understand really

omg...kid... you effed up. #monsterdon

Oh god ow ow ow oh god ow

#Monsterdon

this thing's going pretty dang hard for a film about kids being haunted in the suburbs

that tornado thing is quality too

#monsterdon #TheGate

Ow

#monsterdon

hand-eye coordination

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon well damn, turns out they closed jack shit

#monsterdon Technically that big demon likely started several GenX kids into teratophilia. Hey big boy, gonna enslave this world? Maybe you want a little lovin' feelin' first? ;)

Oops, well shut my mouth. A big demon

#monsterdon

Let the moths live!

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

this movie gets pretty damn bleak for something with an 11 year old protagonist

#monsterdon

Also important to realize that that kid was the winner. He was just granted administrative power over all the lands of men, and he's just like, "Nah. I'm a' go back to being bullied at my school." #Monsterdon #TheGate

"Guys, I've got this great idea for a palm-eye... can we please just try to fit it in somewhere?"

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🧒 🧒 ⛏️ 💰 🌪️ 🔥 👿 😱

skinny mushroom cloud

What was the thought process behind making the demons tiny?

#monsterdon

Ross Perot predicted this great sucking cataclysm! #monsterdon

and that's where the social media companies came from... #monsterdon

Parents, let this be a lesson - do not leave your 15 year old in charge of the house for 3 whole days, especially if there is an interdimensional gate to hell in your backyard.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

Necronomicon hand!

#Monsterdon

We all had those Brady Bunch stairs in the 80s

#monsterdon

You, little man, I make my disciple! Extra eye in palm at no extra charge,

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

The scariest thing is the high deductible on their family's homeowner policy #monsterdon

See, this demon just looks confused. #Monsterdon

I would simply let the demons have the house tho

#Monsterdon

Oh that is an ANGY demon face damn
#monsterdon

Love the T-Rex arms
#monsterdon

Not bad Small Things Turning Into Larger Things, either. #monsterdon

uh..... Hi, Satan! Love your music! #monsterdon

That's a big boy!
#monsterdon

And why is shooting a rocket supposed to send demons back to hell? 🧐 #monsterdon
