Is that evil queen's main henchman Amakusa Shiro? He's got vibes of that over the top villain from lots of anime and video games period pieces.

@strangefour Fetch?! They're going to play fetch?! #OhImGonnaBeSick #Monsterdon
@kcarr2015 Being a werewolf AND a doctor. The paperwork is a killer. He's always in the office late.
#monsterdon
@Terencio If a cat was turned LyCAThropy they'd behave EXACTLY the same, preeety sure (looks at Judy "CutieKittens/MurderMittens) #Monsterdon
Hero dog illuminated backstory only it seems.

Once again, I think I only knew the Starlog stills. So fun to see the full film and its late 70s hairy cast. Thanks, @Taweret, @Cherizilla and @JoeWynne for a fun #Monsterdon
Is this a movie about a hero dog?
#Monsterdon #LegendoftheEightSamurai
@Axiom Word! (someone beat me to it right?) #Monsterdon
@SnoopJ
Bill "feeling wild and strong" while abusing his wife, and then going out to bang Marsha. That was my interpretation anyways. π€·ββοΈ
@moira The only plot is the one this joke's getting put in now that you've beaten it to death :P #Monsterdon

There was a lot more inflation in this movie than I expected.
This one actually had an ending; why does it still feel like it was just cut off?
@culturednyc For her, yes. But alas for us, no such luck. We are trapped for the duration.
#monsterdon
Oh Sonny Chiba's in this. Maybe I should be paying more attention.
#Monsterdon #LegendoftheEightSamurai
shit, I think I'm out
@wohali Some say he's still transforming into a wolf to this very day.
A very long time since I've heard any references to Gehenna in a film.
lycanthropy is just a plot by Big Awoo to sell more NO AWOO $350 FINE signs
lycanthropy is just a plot by Big Conspiracy Jokes to sell more conspiracy parody jokes
@xerozohar The better to bill you with, my dear. You know I'm an out-of-network Werewolf Doctor, right? The charges will higher.
This calliope soundtrack is kind of a mess so far.

D'oh! Karen's bitten.
Lycanthropy is just a plot by Big Makeup to sell more werewolf movies
lycanthropy is just a plot by Big Dog Treats to sell more milk bones
@paco My mind went to the same place #monsterdon
@spottyfox I should try those, I didn't hear good things about Dog Soldiers but i've heard wrong before
don't know about ginger snaps, I'll look it up
Wait, I wasn't paying enough attention ... didn't Chris shoot Marsha?
AWAB!!
It was a good day for bingo
(I probably could have gotten at least a couple more if I'd been paying more attention)
lycanthropy is just a plot by Big Drool to sell more napkins
And we all fucked off into the future and said the 80's were a mysoginist hell. #Monsterdon
lycanthropy is just a plot by Big Clothing to sell more big clothing
Oh this is gonna smell TERRIBLE π₯
@_L1vY_ Maybe he's a werewolf who's also a pervert #monsterdon
#monsterdon You think it's legal for a used book store to sell ammunition?
@moira @allanb Right? Some Stephen Graham Jones, for example. #Monsterdon
My review on #letterboxd: the film wasn't well-done enough, just the way Marcia requested, one and a half stars https://letterboxd.com/anderson_petaq/film/the-howling/ #monsterdon
How many rounds does that thing hold; will he need to reload soon?
lycanthropy is just a plot by Big Doggo to sell more extra-large doggie beds
WHY is Eddie always so raggedy and mutated, neither wolf nor human, what is going on with him! π
lycanthropy is just a plot by Big Hair Removal Gel to sell more Nair
Rob Bottin and Rick Baker are makeup SFX GODS
I like Samurai Lady's makeup...
Well, that was... something #Monsterdon
Well the opening music is promising...
i sincerely do not know how tubi exists, it just lets you do full res downloads of the movie with seemingly no attempt at DRM. there's no way they have licenses for all these movies #monsterdon
Running the end credits over a slow zoom in on a disgusting hamburger patty on a flattop grill with slow-jazz saxophone music in the background is
Perfectly in keeping with the rest of this movie
My God... #Monsterdon
Thanks, @Taweret and @Cherizilla and @JoeWynne
I WAS PUNTED TO "THE HOWLING III" by tubi no fucking way they made this a series!!!! #monsterdon
@lorgonumputz "Rare" was literally the last word of the film.
#monsterdon
@Taweret Thank you once again for being the best horror host on the net! And thank you everyone else for another wonderful evening of #Monsterdon.
I guess not entirely successful π€
The Howling was fantastic #Monsterdon fun. Thanks @Taweret
They call him T.C. for "Teen Creep"
Can we do Elvira Mistress of the Dark next?
Um. Is that burger still rare...?
Well thanks for an entertaining movie, a little reminder of a massacre, and the time to get my nails done on a Sunday, #monsterdon
@Axiom Isn't it a reference to The Wolf Man (1941) director George Waggner? #Monsterdon #TheHowling1981
Heh, that was a very #Monsterdon friendly stinger at the end there :D
And just like that the film is over, welp that was fun thanks for another fabulous #Monsterdon
HEY Post credits scene before it was cool! #monsterdon #thehowling
Post credits scene! Kind of!
That is a TERRIBLE rare burger.
Also, rare burgers are a bad idea - but probably not if you're a werewolf.
Well, that was a very hairy experience, I'm glad we made it through. Thanks everyone! :D
Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!
The moral of the story is that if you go undercover as a reporter nerves of steel might not enough, you should also have a weapon made of silver for added security #monsterdon
Wait they actually got the word out as they intended? And somebody just happened to have a fucking bold action rifle in the studio?
#Monsterdon #TheHowling
ZOMG post credits! #monsterdon #thehowling
@xerozohar hey, I did, didn't I! :D I'm were-psychic :D #Monsterdon
AWOOOOO
THAT BURGER IS NO LONGER RARE
@flowerpot Meat harmonizer #Monsterdon
Aw yeah grill that burger
One can burst through walls and doors. The next minute 10 of them can't break out of the barn. But then they can smash police car windows.
#monsterdon
Awoo! That movie was mostly terrible, but a fun time with you all as always. π Goodnight, monster people. #Monsterdon
And that, dear friends, was The Howling (1981).
Very 80s, in a good way.
That was Super fun, fam. Let's do it again next week!
Goodnight all!
@CactuarJoe I love how you called it about her transforming on air #monsterdon
#MonsterdonπΊ π¨ π² π±
close up of cooking hamburger patty. Roll credits.
Who did the hair in this film?
OK. This hamburger cooking is more offputting than the entire film.
Worst closing credits EVER
π¦#MONSTERDON ποΈ
πΊπ©Έ THE TRIVIALING π©ΈπΊ
π The first Oscar ever for make-up went to one of the three werewolf movies in 1981, but which one was it?
π The Howling was good, but An American Werewolf in London was the winner. It had make-up genius Rick Baker and 11 years of planning by director John Landis.
we also don't know for sure he got our soft fluffy woof lady in the heart. i like to think she survived
How did they not make a second movie starring Marcia?!? π
Of course the car won't start! #Monsterdon
But⦠she was adorable!
Showing a burger cooking while serenading it, is a choice.
#Monsterdon
the real horror was the bar food we had to endure to make this movie.
Luckily for Karen the transformation takes such a long time she was able to stand there gawking forever and STILL make a successful getaway just by running out the office door.
All right, with that folks, #monsterdon October is gone in a flash.
Special thanks to @Taweret for always being the best horror host, @JoeWynne for the trivia, @cherizilla for the great trivia, and everyone else for helping me stay awake during this weird ride.
See you next week for something less spoopy! β€οΈ
Sequel please, about Marsha's adventures in LA
Ok, this was pretty slow, nonsense and terrible but as always, I had lots of fun watching! The buger credits are 10/10
Thanks @Taweret for hosting and everyone for joining
and they fucked off into a honky tonk bar and grill The End #Monsterdon
