aww, baby's first demon banishing #monsterdon
just toss the whole Bible in, it's the only way to be sure #monsterdon
They go back and the sisters are dead. Happy Ending. #Monsterdon #TheGate
Fire is the devil's only friend
And that's why you don't do fracking, kids
@brooke The Holy Hand Grenade! #Monsterdon
I think they should just let these delightful smol demons take over...the world can't be any worse than without them #Monsterdon
The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch! #monsterdon
@diazona It's not near as straight foward as regular bingo....#monsterdon
Terry probably went on to help make "The Call of Cthulhu" when he grew up.
Terry didnβt even get the the βlightβ part.

shite *throws bible into Hole*
okay, i have to admit, Terry's growing on me.
#monsterdon
"Read anything!"
Okay, well, there's this bit from Leviticus about not eating grasshoppers, that'll do. #Monsterdon
HE bible
"You are now entering... The Scary Gate"
I feel like the little demons are misunderstood. They were just 'standing their ground' with ... teeth.
This is honestly the first time I've actually felt tense during a #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Movies like this have a lot of protracted scenes that are just indistinct shouting.
"Woooah" "Ahhhhh!" "ooooooh!"
@Ayyyydrew Heaven knows we could use the eggs? #WrongJoke #Monsterdon
#monsterdon just another day in small-town America..
Thatβs how I stomp lanternflies.
@blogdiva It was baby Gojira! #monsterdon
Ooh. Monsters under the bed is a classic.
#monsterdon Gulliver's Nightmares, little pint sized fleshy sacks of yuck.

Tree house rope to the rescue!

@MatthewTitus88 I was counting that as just a hole, not a portal
Alternate title: Hungry Hungry Ghoulies
it's interesting that they can in fact be stompied
@amyfou I know, I know, itβs really serious #Monsterdon
'terry meets a new friends in the most unlikely place"
#monsterdon
Hi ho. Hi ho. It's up from hell we go. #Monsterdon #TheGate
Okay so it's a hole that gives off purple flashing light and mist, they should offer it a disco ball, not prayer
Buffet! Buffet is on!
These little demonlings are so kinda cuteβ¦
Except when they bite.

#monsterdon Classic question : Who would win? One kid, or a hundred demons?
I love the lil claymation guys so much
Serious demony scares! #Monsterdon
"Hi.... uh... Hail Satan!" #monsterdon

@MatthewTitus88 Nah I'm still waiting for "Portal opens" for that one. (I mean, maybe the opening of a portal is implied, but we haven't seen it yet)
They need that nerdy witch girl from the party, don't they?
WELCOME TO HELL #monsterdon
The girls know they're redshirts! #monsterdon
Those are some cut-rate biblical rites. Cut-rites? #Monsterdon
They're all going to feel really silly when they discover that this is all a ruptured gas line.
bisexual demon lighting?
#monsterdon
If I know one thing about the fediverse, it's this: a Bakelite joke always lands. #monsterdon
A little bit grey aliens, a little bit goblins, alot moving not quite like how people would in a slightly off frame rate.
#Monsterdon #TheGate
Itty bitty demons?
So I'm guessing the demons did stay, and now we're living the Hell on Earth. #monsterdon
"We went to sunday school!"
Great, we can subject the demons to an hourlong tirade about how the whole camel-through-the-eye-of-the-needle is just a metaphor. #Monsterdon
oh good we've entered the "prayer will save us" arc #monsterdon
I'm unhappy that the actress playing Al didn't have a longer career. She's not the worst part of this movie #monsterdon
They should read the part about killing the fig tree. #Monsterdon #TheGate
He's annoying, but not THAT annoying
#Monsterdon
YOU'VE BEEN BAAAAAAD! #monsterdon
Just one great practical effect after another at this point. #Monsterdon #TheGate
This movie really does have some fantastic practical effects. π―
#monsterdon "We went to Sunday School!"
That's a hilarious line.
that's just dad's Slayer album! #monsterdon
I love how demons are beaten down by a priest holding a crucifix but modern telecommunications are no obstacle
@srol I think most directors didn't give a fuck if child actors were traumatized by it. #monsterdon #TheGate
"Demons!? What kind!"
Grape, lemon-lime, and orange demons, of course. WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHAT KIND, WHAT AM I A ZOOLOGIST? #Monsterdon
#monsterdon alright that's some very respectable stop motion scary demon mans
Good claymation! That was creepy! #monsterdon
upshot: that's the phone company's phone, they'll send a guy with a new one
YOU'VE BEEN BANNNNNNNED
Ooh, ooh, creepy hands from under the bed #Monsterdon
I love the tiny claymation demons! They are my favorite in this whole movie!!
I guess that was a call on the hot line.
Dad is going to become Beetlejuice
Hello, did someone call Demonoes?
Okay, the arm thing was gross and weird and also cool
Most. Ridiculous. Monsters. Ever.
#monsterdon The demons are goofy, but I enjoyed that telephone scene.
they're just little guuuuuys
"We'd like to talk to you about your cars extended warranty..." #monsterdon #thegate
#Monsterdon these kids should go to the ONE place the demons wouldn't expect.... into the hole!
The real monster under the bed is the friends we made along the way.
#Monsterdon #TheGate
YES DEMON BABBIES!
oh this is the good shit right here

TRIVIA GATE
A large amount of work went into the Minions SFX. 15 suits were constructed from polyfoam. Creature Designer Cook was inspired by 'Darby O'Gill and the Little People' from 1959.
Turns out the mechanisms in the suits did not work, but filmmakers liked the "fascinating, stupid fish look."
Demon babies! They're so cute. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon π§ π§ βοΈ π° πͺοΈ π₯ πΏ π±
That's the weirdest back door in the universe
Those are great special effects!!! #monsterdon
This girl is brave going by herself after almost being abducted to under the bed.

Well this escalated quickly!!
SLIME TIME! #monsterdon
#monsterdon πΆ Oh I've got a hellmouth barely covered up, you've got a big dead dog πΆ
This film is certainly hitting all the 80's moral panics- Satanism, Lyrics in general, kids playing with guns and of course squeezing goo out of your parent's faces
when I grow up, I'm gonna make MY KIDS watch this film!
These guys owe Sam Raimi some serious props. #Monsterdon #TheGate
This is like, Goosebumps Poltergeist :D #Monsterdon
80βs movies! fun for the whole family!! #monsterdon
Starting to think they might, indeed, have demons. #monsterdon
Oh - Terry becomes Garth from Wayne's World
So that's where the other half of the sock pairs go
