I wonder what werewolf Seymour and werewolf Chalmers thinks of this...

#monsterdon #thehowling

was that... two shots in rapid succession?

C'mon, even BASIC gun knowledge???

#monsterdon

damn, sam, learn to shoot

#monsterdon #TheHowling1981

#monsterdon

The pacing of this film. Even the fire accelerant is slow as molasses.

And now they've got tinnitus. Better than being a werewolf, I guess…

#Monsterdon #TheHowling1981

Steed: “Oh thank God” #Monsterdon

@arrjay But, but they spent the silver for the gas?! (I'm trying to help here) #Monsterdon

The fangs are for show, not for biting anyone with #monsterdon

Gosh, was this barn made of gunpowder?
How did it took fire so fast
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon🐺 👨 🌲 😱

honestly that was very mean to do to the werewolfies

#Monsterdon

I think the issue is: does he have *enough* silver bullets..?

GETAWAY MAZDA! GO!

#monsterdon

Oh they found the angry ferrett from earlier in the film!!! #twist #Monsterdon

It's that weekend when I have a social thing and get back too late for #Monsterdon proper, so I just fill in the movie from people's toots using the power of my imagination.

And according to the agreement they signed, if you burn down the Colony you forfeit your initial deposit #monsterdon

This is non-environmentally friendly #monsterdon #thehowling

Does this count as the dog dying?

#monsterdon #TheHowling

It would be funny if they used a burning castle instead of an actual burning barn. #Monsterdon #TheHowling

Backdraft 2: Lycanthropy

#Monsterdon

ha! what were they storing in there, kerosine? their personal store of gun powder? wth...

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon🐺 👨 🌲 😱

you're wasting time throwing gasoline on those wet bricks I think?

Bright Idiot, tryin' to save a buck by not using all the silver bullets.

#monsterdon

When you run out of silver, kill it with fire!

#Monsterdon

I can see fang crafting has come a long way since this movie

#TheHowling1981 #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheHowling1981 good thing silver bullets turned out to actaully work

Do werewolves burn?
#Monsterdon

this guy can take all these werewolves out with a flintlock pistol, thanks to that TF downtime

#monsterdon

@moira ..ref montions play on IT'S THE RULES! #Monsterdon

haha John Carradine as a werewolf always cracks me up. #Monsterdon

I guess that begs the question do you have to hit a werewolf in any particular spot or can you just, like, shoot them in the foot with a silver bullet and they'll die? #monsterdon

ah, we left the gun, nevermind, they deserve death.

#monsterdon

Just gonna shoot them one at a time, slowly, because drama.

#monsterdon

Fire! Fire!

#monsterdon

it's real convenient they come upon him one-by-one.

some pack mentality there.

#monsterdon

So some guy who's name I didn't catch is the hero by accident?
#Monsterdon #TheHowling

“Silver bullets my ass” #Monsterdon

Shot right in the werewolf nards

#TheHowling1981 #Monsterdon

SHOW ME YOUR TEEF!
#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ They're from the bookstore??? #monsterdon

i can't believe the mazda yuppie has even made it this far. how long till he has to reload and gets murdered, do ya think.

#monsterdon

THE BALLS

WHY'D YOU SHOOT ME IN THE BALLS

#monsterdon #TheHowling1981

@pngwen congrats! 🎉

#Monsterdon

I hope you brought enough for everybody. #Monsterdon #TheHowling

Just run Karen, for gs sake!
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon🐺 👨 🌲 😱

it would be an evolutionary disadvantage to have your transformation go that slowly when it only happens at the height of an actual confrontation

SILVER BULLETS

BULLETS FOR WERE-WOLVES

#monsterdon

Can we go back to the bluegrass now? I liked that better

#Monsterdon

That a boy, bringing silver bullets to a knife fight 🎸 #Monsterdon

The transformations take too long to look threatening

#monsterdon #thehowling

"Silver bullets that I never need to reload" #monsterdon

can't kill holograms! wait wrong franchise #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe not enough of a challenge I guess

#Monsterdon

oh yeah, that's gonna look like an accident. burned bodies in a car over a cliff. i'm not sure they've ever even watched a murder mystery show before.

#monsterdon

he's doing it again lmao what the fuck dude just bite them #monsterdon

don't waste all your bullets on one werewolf
#monsterdon

"I won't wait for this long ass transformation" BANG #monsterdon #thehowling

The flappy masks don't do anything for me #monsterdon

How to plot a murder, werewolf edition tonight on #Monsterdon

Never give a man a gun that could have silver bullets. Never give a man a gun period.
#Monsterdon #TheHowling

#Monsterdon🐺 👨 🌲 😱

I hope bright boy remembered to load those silver bullets

@wohali Bright Boy?

#monsterdon

awoo

awooo

awoooo

awooooooooooooooooo

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
The subtext of this movie is at periscope depth at best.

i like this zombied/acidified look a lot more than the actual werewolf effects. I wish this guy was the antagonist

#monsterdon

see, werewolves have inherited some frog DNA, and mate in a similar way (neck swelling)

#monsterdon

@strangefour THAT's a euphemism? #Monsterdon

Nooooo! Not a chopped-off pulsating inflatable paw / hand combination thing!!

#Monsterdon

@miru If I suspected werewolf attacks I would NOT DIP MY FINGER INTO BLOOD I found at an attack scene. #Monsterdon #TheHowling1981

That cop just let him take his gun. Practically handed it to him.
#Monsterdon

I guess this is an Act of Courage.

though it feels like an Act of Stupidity.

#monsterdon

Some samples #Monsterdon

It also continues to do a lot with very little #Monsterdon

Stephen Spielberg has been a huge fan of The Howling. In fact, this is where he discovered Dee Wallace who he used for the role of Mary in E.T.: The Extraterrestrial

#TheHowling1981

Ah yes. A lot more snarling than smiling.

#Monsterdon

Did he just call him breadboy?

#monsterdon

I like Marsha

#Monsterdon

Doc? You in here doing special K? Again!!?! #Monsterdon

This is so weird for me to see a good performance from John Carradine. I'm so used to him sleepwalking through a role or just been a clip added in later with no contact with the rest of the cast.
#Monsterdon #TheHowling

the tape recorder, sir! it's been...JAMMED!

#monsterdon

Marsha hamming it up. Must have ate a pig. :blobcat_angel: #monsterdon

Why is this giving me Outlast vibes?
#Monsterdon

yeah, go ahead, put your hand in the blood. f-ing city boy.

Reuse and Recycle

Like in The Howling, where they reused set dressings from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). Look for the corpse in an armchair in Walter Paisley's bookstore. Probably pretty ripe by now.

#TheHowling1981

@lytta I just question her choice in victims #monsterdon

Just finished watching the 2024 version of #Nosferatu. I have the original version on DVD, but the remake seemed interesting. Eggers’ take on Hamlet (which I only realized later) was kinda meh, but this was better - still had a lot of that oddly cold and sterile vibe that #TheNorthman had, but this time mostly made up for it with a much more sinister villain. Compared to the material Murnau ripped off, Orlok is much rougher and more openly violent, just to name two differences.

#monsterdon

They don't grow things back then...

#Monsterdon

ok where's the Duran Duran-backed montage #monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Ah. The conspiracy Pack.

Marsha Marsha Marsha!
#Monsterdon #TheHowling

I think that room will not be happy despite the smiley sticker, don't open the door, lady!

#Monsterdon

@lytta Ahh now it makes sense

This could have been teased so much more effectively

#Monsterdon

Let werewolves werewolf.

#monsterdon

We need our own web page! #Monsterdon

so this whole movie has been everyone around this woman gaslighting her from the start? how did she even get into this gig with the cops being bait for werewolves anyway? #monsterdon

(Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust's Carmilla playing in the back of my head, That is the Rule of Nature!)

🎃 Some context for the Smiley face buttons and stickers...
First appearing in 1963, by 1971 over 50 million smiley face buttons alone had been produced. T-shirts, stickers and other pop culture appearances were ubiquitous.

🎃 I barely made it through this period with my insanity intact. So it's not surprising that by 1980, the image was ripe for use in dark storylines.

@amyfou IKR?! Usually Karens can't put things down! #Monsterdon (I don't make the rules)
