But… she was adorable!

#TheHowling1981 #Monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon

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.

#Monsterdon

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! ❤️

Sequel please, about Marsha's adventures in LA

#monsterdon

Fire does NOT kill werewolves.
#Monsterdon

  🐺🩸 THE TRIVIALING 🩸🐺

🎃 At the end of the film, there is a scream that was supposed to be created for Dee Williams ("Karen") with special sound effects.

🎃 But she, being a scream queen of this era, asked director Dante "Come on, at least give me a shot at it!" He did, and of course it was fantastic, so they kept it in, just adding an echo.

#TheHowling1981

I didn’t have “newslady turns into a werewolf” on my bingo card

#Monsterdon

Awooooo!

#monsterdon
#TheHowling

To be contrary to everyone on the feed: I actually like the long transformation idea (not the actual scene in the movie, that was a pacing disaster), but instantaneous transformation should be special and not all werewolves should get it.

(also a common trope in modern urban fantasy books and it can be a neat plot point when done well, whether to remain in human form with some heightened abilities or to transform for more abilities, but depending on the lore less communication skills and/or less humanity)

#Monsterdon

smashburger!!!

#monsterdon

Ok great cut #monsterdon #thehowling

Excellent. A dog food commercial.
#Monsterdon

These barflies aren't convincingly drunk #monsterdon

Wow, people are a lot less freaked out by this than I would have expected. They're just loke "Oh... a werewolf."
#Monsterdon

honestly, they should have cut to a Wolf Chili commercial.

#monsterdon

More a werewookie, really. #Monsterdon

MARSHA ESCAPED MY PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED

#monsterdon

I just wanna boop her!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon🐺 👨 🌲 😱

She's a werepomeranian!

LOL THAT SMASH CUT #monsterdon #thehowling

Why are new ears coming out the top of his head, instead of his human ears morphing?

And I'm sorry, but that initial face morph was downright comical 😂

#Monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

  🐺🩸 THE TRIVIALING 🩸🐺

The final transition in the film had to be in close-up because it was shot in director Dante's office. All the budget had been used up by that point.

#TheHowling1981

Go to commercial break while Karen transforms?

#Monsterdon

Not all werewolves are created equal.
Sometimes you end up as a pomeranian.
#Monsterdon #TheHowling

Doesnt that look good #Monsterdon

Oh, she just turned into an ewok

#Monsterdon

Not Old Yeller!!!!!! #Monsterdon

She's wereshitzu #Monsterdon #TheHowling

A secret society of Ewoks. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheHowling1981 she looks like she celebrates wookiee life day

Haha. Okay, this is my favorite part of the movie. #Monsterdon

meaty chunks of tantalizing nutrition!

#monsterdon

don’t know about community but all for experimental living #Monsterdon

She looks like Chewbacca #Monsterdon

Oh look at that cute little snoot! #monsterdon #thehowling

@TerryHancock No, she's the HOA president? #DadTryingToKeepUP #Monsterdon

you know what to do Chris
no ragrets
#monsterdon

lol she's a terrier

#monsterdon #TheHowling1981

Werewolf anchor, news at 11 #monsterdon #thehowling

#Monsterdon somebody stop her!! she's gonna break the masquerade!! (or whatever the werewolf the apocalypse version is)

are her fillings going to pop out when her teeth transform?

#monsterdon #TheHowling1981

#Monsterdon

I hate that his name is Waggner

If she were a real professional journalist she'd have prints of all the snapshots she took to back up her claims #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheHowling1981 heh "a guyana-like spectacle" is a contemporary reference to the jonestown massacre

#Monsterdon🐺 👨 🌲 😱

also, terrible shout out to the Jim Jones massacre

So Karen's going to make her frst appearance since she freaked out on camera and she's going to tell everyone about werewolves? This is a brilliant plan! #Monsterdon

"That fire burning up the coast"

Precision news reporting

#Monsterdon

FOr a newsreader, she sure reads "the news" like a piece of limp week-old broccoli

#monsterdon

I bet these two are werewolves by now.
#monsterdon

Whoa, was that a Jonestown reference? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Terrible maintenance on this cop cruiser.

Nothing worse than a were-Karen #monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

  🐺🩸 THE TRIVIA-ING 🩸🐺

🎃 Test audiences wanted to see a transition for the final werewolf. Actress Dee Wallace told the crew she did not want to be an ugly werewolf, but the look should represent her hard-fought resistance.

🎃 So Bottin created a softer form, but he thought it looked too much like a female Wookie.

#TheHowling1981

:ms_awoo: :awoo:

#monsterdon

It will be easy to make people believe now that YOU'RE ONE OF THEM

#TheHowling1981 #Monsterdon

awoooooo

awooooo

awoooooooooo

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon🐺 👨 🌲 😱

She's definitely a werewolf now

Stop motion werewolves?
I guess they know the stop motion piranha man.
#Monsterdon #TheHowlinp

so is Karen gonna get a Fast Transform since there's only FIVE MINUTES of movie left?

#monsterdon

that makeup is not going to hold up to all that drool

#monsterdon #TheHowling1981

Capitalism demands that she go back to her assigned job as soon as possible in order to maximize shareholder value #monsterdon

yeaaaah, that bite is total sequel setup.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon🐺 👨 🌲 😱

Quick! Throw the squeaky chew toys!

what was that random flash of sex scene

#monsterdon

god DAMN these CA CARB regulations!

#monsterdon

The Smudging.

#monsterdon #thehowling

1980s were Peak Flammable Automobile #Monsterdon

No, not the model where the headlights go up!

#TheHowling1981 #Monsterdon

@wohali It's really just a magic bang stick #monsterdon

It was cool seeing John Carradine grow fangs. What a career. 276 film credits including Invisible Man and Bride of Frankenstein #Monsterdon

Those last two shots on the sherrif were awfully fast for someone firing a 30-06 bolt action rifle.
#monsterdon

Roll the car! roll the car!
#Monsterdon

Ahh, yes, the 1981 Mazda Pinto.

#Monsterdon #TheHowling1981

@bstacey Effective

#Monsterdon

wolf-on-glass.

#monsterdon

Okay, they exploded that car just for fun.

#Monsterdon

cop engine cop shocks cop struts runs good on regular gas yes yes yes

#monsterdon #TheHowling1981

Oh the Sheriff wasn't at the barn, but he is a wolfman!
He shot the werewolf sheriff~
But he did not shoot the deputy dog~
#Monsterdon #TheHowling

you have the gun, woman, what are you screaming for, start firing!

#monsterdon

@jivens Now whaddya gonna do fido?! #Monsterdon

@catzilla Needed to reload maybe?

Or perhaps it's just therapeutic to set a barn full of werewolves on fire

#Monsterdon

WHEE exploding car!

#monsterdon #TheHowling

YES!

gotta have an explosion
monsterdon rules

#monsterdon

Nevermind, hit Sam!
