Satan still kinda looks larval to me. #Monsterdon

The whirlwind is sucking up all the copies of Omni and Computer Shopper

#Monsterdon

THE LAD
#monsterdon

There are times when having little mini arms right there could be handy....lazy times....

#Monsterdon

Oh wow, that's a no-rack shotty

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon little demons / BIG DEMON

Suburban houses all built on demonic portals to hell? How else do you think they keep the properties so affordable

#monsterdon

Wait the hell mouth is now underneath the house?

#monsterdon

Prayer failed. Let's try launching model rockets indoors! #monsterdon

Oshit...

Maybe if we put some pallets over the hole and pray again it'll be ok #Monsterdon

In 1986 I was drinking a lot of National Bohemian and listening to Sonic Youth

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon energy derived from love and light... my giant rocket!

Sure, I played The Floor is Lava as a kid. But I never played The Floor is the Gaping Mouth of Hell

#Monsterdon

I don't think those stairs were up to code.

#Monsterdon #TheGate

#monsterdon uptown Kids using firearms fighting otherized creatures and plucking eyes with blonde Barbies. What is this? MAGA origin story?

@sean Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. #monsterdon

Oh hey the best effects shot in the movie. Debatably. It's a really good one.
#Monsterdon #TheGate

@Terencio "and you better not kill the groove, baby"

"gonna tear this goddamn house right down!"

#monsterdon #TheGate

this kid's going to have a lot of explaining to do when his parents get back eh

#monsterdon

Chekov's Thunderbolt*

#monsterdon
#TheGate

Now for the REAL gate ...

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

"we're tearing up the dance floor!" #monsterdon

So, this film will be solved by....

#monsterdon #theGate1987

Terry, the ratboy, living in the walls 🎶 #monsterdon

And, sister makes two!

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

Definitely gonna get in trouble! #monsterdon

That was a very Sam Raimi whip zoom! #monsterdon

conventional weapons fail! wait, wrong bingo card #monsterdon

Swear count: 3? maybe 4.

#monsterdon

Keeps the gun next to the Barbie dolls 🥴

#monsterdon

This is a really, really bad movie, everyone

#Monsterdon #TheGate

I guess becoming possessed and/or zombified really does a number on your bite strength

#Monsterdon

She went for the eyes FIRST SWING. Somebody paid attention during self defense classes! #Monsterdon

I love the crash zoom on the little demon like this is a Bruce Lee movie

#monsterdon

Death by Barbie!!! #Monsterdon

Aren't guns supposed to be in safes or something?

#Monsterdon

a barbie leg thru the eye
#monsterdon

maybe consider going to a friends house?

#Monsterdon

did she just poke his eye out with a barbie doll!?!?!? #monsterdon

TERRY IS HANGRY!

#Monsterdon #TheGate

great now you're gonna need a rabies shot AND a tetanus shot... #monsterdon

You know at this point, just tell your parents you threw a rager. #Monsterdon

CLOSET TERRY!

TRIVIA GATE

The SFX team was most proud of the 'Dead Workman falls and shatters into swarm of Minions' scene. SFX specialist Cook said it had not been seen since Tex Avery cartoons.

The workman fell from being suspended from the ceiling. Shot was stopped when he hit. Minions laid on ground contorted in shapes of his body parts on ground. They would explode out in subsequent part of the scene to complete the transition.

Three scene components and two frame rates!

Somebody had the foresight to make this house's walls *extremely* spacious

#Monsterdon

Love those little demons
#monsterdon

Poor Terry. Mom died. Fell down the hell mouth. Got dragged back by a zombie. He's just the one that everything has to happen to. #monsterdon

Boom box did him in
#monsterdon

So many creepy things happen in that big foyer with the front door. It's enough to make you afraid of an open floor plan.
#Monsterdon #TheGate

"out of one, many"! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon the boombox is a surprisingly effective thrown weapon

WOW OK THAT EFFECT WAS INCREDIBLE #monsterdon #thegate

Who wants ice cream?

I guess I'll go join the Lost Boys

#monsterdon

Boombox to the face!

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

Writing runes in red paint is such a teenage house party thing

Pervy zombie spying on the sister...gets a boombox to the face!

Little imps!

ruh roh again

Can’t we just have a happy ending?

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

You spoke him into being, Terry, because you are an all-powerful wizard! Accept your destiny!!

#Monsterdon #TheGate

WALL ZOMBIE, what???? #monsterdon

Oh, it seals itself up, I stand corrected #Monsterdon

The Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man?

#monsterdon

@starkraving666 Well he's already been to Hell and back... #monsterdon

Oh gosh. Guess the gate's not closed.. Again.. #Monsterdon #TheGate

The demons *may* be rude and often cart your friends away to the netherworld, but they do a *damn* fine drywalling.

#monsterdon #theGate1987

Terry just can't seem to catch a break #monsterdon #thegate

the movie that dares to ask 'what if there were zombies in your walls this whole time?'

#Monsterdon

Chekhov's workman in the walls. Didn't see that coming.

#monsterdon

oof, wall corpses. that's real tough to get rid of

#monsterdon

Oh, I guess the dead guy in the wall was real.

Cool

#Monsterdon

Terry was vindicated (accidentally, it sounds like).

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

Mom and Dad are going to be *way* more pissed than you think. #Monsterdon #TheGate

Quest for fire on the tv?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🧒 🧒 ⛏️ 💰 🌪️ 🔥 👿 😱

wut

Who the fuck is this guy?? #monsterdon #thegate

And like, they don't ask why are they wearing the garlic necklaces? #monsterdon

who dat?
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon surprise!

Dead guy in wall alluded to earlier makes an appearance.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

There's a demon on your lawn! We don't want demons on your lawn #monsterdon

"I can take a hint."

That wasn't a hint. Al actually told you to leave.

#Monsterdon

This movie is actually an episode of The Pink Opaque #Monsterdon

#monsterdon This house was built in the 80's, there isn't a square in the joint, so the front door can't latch properly, so it flaps open and closed all by itself. Must make ADT's day...

#monsterdon Those little guys are incredibly creepy.

damn where'd they get all that garlic 😍
#monsterdon

oh no, something far worse than demons....teenage boys!

#Monsterdon

Terry don't antagonize the subterranean locals. They have probably lived under the earth longer than humanity has existed.
#Monsterdon #TheGate

The braids of garlic.

#Monsterdon #TheGate1987

If you're going to read from the Bible to defeat forces of evil you have to record it and play it backwards so that they can understand it. That just stands to reason #monsterdon

@starkraving666 "We are all individuals!" #monsterdon

The Gate is gone! And we have a whole 30 minutes left for the party and house-cleaning montage before Mom and Dad get back!

#Monsterdon

They don't know there's 30 more minutes

#Monsterdon

So any Bible passage would work? #monsterdon

So... what will we do the remaining 26 minutes of movie time we have left?

#Monsterdon #TheGate1986

Well, you can't cover up a hell mouth, but you can make it the focus of the room.

#monsterdon

Terry taking the big swing and just throwing the Bible in the hole! Take that, tiny motherfuckers!

#Monsterdon #TheGate

#Monsterdon 🧒 🧒 ⛏️ 💰 🌪️ 🔥 👿 😱

I don't think it's really gone though
