Some movies have surprised me, started out believing it would be awful, but they were delightful and had me on the clouds.
Especially watched with friends. Like #Monsterdon ... even then if the movie is crazy, still have company with awesome people!
I miss when they asked how you wanted your hamburger. The only places you can get them these days run $20/burger. Solid film. Fun time. Thamks #monsterdon pals. Take care. See ya soon.
no #MonsterdonBingo for me tonight. I probably missed a few, but I mark 'em as I mark 'em
She died as she lived, corpsing on camera. #Monsterdon
the fry cook has fucked it....
I loved all 18 disctict styles this score had. #Monsterdon
the movie fucks off off onto the griddle as the credits roll, a truly unique ending shot
in conclusion: awoooo
Oh she's got GOLD eyes, she's a werewolf queen :D #Monsterdon

Can't start the car for 5 minutes, screaming Karen who just got bit, claymation werewolves this film had it all
did he just double-tap with a bolt-action rifle?
Seriously, chief, just start unloading clips into them. No quarter. #Monsterdon
Because shapeshifting INFRONT OF THE VICTIM worked so well the first time. #Monsterdon
Werewolf psychologist. Don't see many o' those. #Monsterdon
no good can ever come from a barn full of white people....
oh come on, the Doc is the head werewolf
props to a filmmaker who doesn't shy away from close-up turning-into-a-monster scenes, no matter how bad the effects are
Kind of feels like there's an opportunity to escape here?
Slowest werewolf transformation ever. Sailor Moon's whole party is gonna be transformed before he's done. #Monsterdon
Somewhat dismayed reporter girl died as I thought she was cool.
Kill him, Karen. Kill him. #Monsterdon
"Wait! Come back! I just wanted to AXE you a question!"
"The werewolves cut the phone lines!"
Probably the neatest murdershack ever put to film. #Monsterdon
Reporter Girl does some investigating and discovers that the view of the coastline from the Colony is exactly matched by one of the killer's sketches, which she finds suspicious. To underscore her suspicions, the music score changes to Loopy Chaotic Organ music as she wanders off in the woods and listens to frogs.
Then the frogs turn into a rasping voice that says her name (I think) and she spots a secret domicile. This would be a good place to save her game before continuing.
"Over here, Terry. We have delicious rabbit stew." #Monsterdon
I have it on good authority that werewolves are supposed to do it doggy style. Movie is completely inaccurate.
"There! Wolf!" #Monsterdon
The reporter couple investigating werewolves learn about this from a phone call, which they get while they're watching an old werewolf movie, which is a thing people did even before john mastodon invented #monsterdon to appease the spirit of Mothra.
The girl is suspicious that Mr. Mustache might be a werewolf now, so they drive to the country to allay these suspicions, to find Mr. Mustache eating raw meat.
After shooting a rabbit, Mr. Mustache meets Bloodhound Nose guy, who tells him that he should eat it because it's a sin to kill something and not eat it, and offers his Goth Wife to cook it up. Mr. Mustache takes the dead rabbit to the Goth Wife, who puts it down and immediately kisses him. He recoils at how sexy she is and flees into the woods, where he is bitten by a wolf, possibly a werewolf.
Ah yes, watchin' TV, a beer in one hand a boobie in the other. That's Reagan's America. #Monsterdon
"What do you do with these things?"
"Cook 'em."
"Oh."
...What did you THINK they did with 'em? #Monsterdon
What's with the video poker soundtrack? #Monsterdon
I'm a white guy and I get nervous when there are a bunch of white guys in the woods with guns....
I don't recognize Bill without his signature sweater, he should wear a nametag on his mustache
At home, Karen is unwilling to have sex with her husband Mr Mustache, because trauma.
She goes back to work and is about to be a talking head, but then in the eye of the camera she says the porn film that she saw before and blanks out, unable to speak. So they cut to an editorial and take her out of the talking head booth.
Her boss is unsympathetic and suspects that she's pregnant because misogyny, then calls up a replacement news lady whose name he cannot remember.
Cops same as they ever were -_-; #Monsterdon
Yeah yeah, you're a misogynist murderer, it's 1980, you're like a dime a dozen. #Monsterdon
"Trapped in a porn booth with an incel"
So reporter girl reaches a phone booth and calls her contact who I guess is the criminal they're trying to get, who we saw earlier asleep watching the guy selling his "Repression Bad" book. He asks if she is wearing what he asked, which is kind of a red flag unless you're coordinating outfits for an elaborate Voltron cosplay and don't want too many Corans.
After leaving the phone booth, the girl goes for a walk in an 80s porn store, which I guess is a way to fight crime.
I can't tell if this is gonna be high end #Monsterdon or not?
@jonny
Oh, fucking way my bruh. π
2 and 3 at least have decent production values, and 3 ends in a future were lycanthropes and humans coexist I think.
The rest are pretty crap.
@Andres4NY "Tired of waiting for your transformation? Get WereApp Pro for just $9.99 and get instant transformation and no ads!"
#monsterdon
@jonny shhhh! π #Monsterdon
@moira Dog Soldiers is pretty good #Monsterdon
@allanb i've read some decent werewolf _novel_, so you can tell good werewolf _story_, that's all i'm saying
it should be possible dammit
I WAS PUNTED TO "THE HOWLING III" by tubi no fucking way they made this a series!!!! #monsterdon
I feel like they had a good theme but they didn't really pay it off. The struggle between the animal and the human, the idea of a werewolf as something stuck in-between, that's all pretty compelling. But the film didn't really DO anything with the themes, they just kinda... Stated them. :/ #Monsterdon
I award the Howling 4 out of 5 hour-long werewolf transformation scenes. The lesson was not that werewolves are bad, but that serial killers are bad, especially if they are werewolves.
The best character was reporter girl, RIP. The worst character was... um... I dunno... the news boss guy. He was a jerk.
One of the few times I don't think we rooted for the monster? #Monsterdon #TheHowling1981
oh, I guess they could after all! PLOT TWIST
hey, I need closure on that burger!
Waiting for someone to say, "uh, uxcuse me, that burger's not rare..." #Monsterdon
Look, is there some reason the director thought we needed to see this fry cook's ENTIRE burger technique? #Monsterdon
@Taweret Thanks for hosting!
FFN girl looking at the camera with her last line really helped at the end there.
#monsterdon
In accordance with prophecy, Karen starts wolfing out on TV, going through a transitional "wookiee" phase. We see some kids watching the TV, and one of them says "the news lady is transforming into a werewolf!"
Then reporter boy shoots her because... fuck i dunno... maybe humans are the real monsters.
just use a pistol if you are having trouble ending the scene where you're shooting werewolves with the silver bullets inside your car
#monsterdon
Let's see, she will transform on camera?
#monsterdon
werewolves can't shoot for shit!
They call them silver bullets because getting gutshot by one feels just like drinking a Coors Light
Every werewolf in the county and they still can't knock down one barn door. Weeeeeak. #Monsterdon
(there was a scene earlier where the werewolf turned on the werewolf audio book aka casette tape)
Anyway, reporter boy is ambushed by the killer, whose face was melted because of the acid. Because the killer's fetish is transforming really slow, he hands reporter boy his gun (unaware of the silver bullets) so he can transform real show. Then reporter boy shoots him and hopefully he dies.
He ain't falling for that "wait while I transform" schtick...
Oh, Marsha Marsha Marsha. #Monsterdon
@apLundell When the audience is glancing at their watches while you show off your major, budget-blowing special effect, and you realize you had one job
"See, Eddie, the problem is you always think everything's about YOU." #Monsterdon
Seriously though, while he was transforming she could have run or fashioned a crude cannon out of material lying nearby....
@floatybirb I liked her too
I was NOT expecting an 8 ft tall werewolf to just be hanging out in the office. π
"Quist" sounds like a ZX Spectrum game
I can't tell the Karens apart - are there two of them?
Oof, domestic abuse time. The 80s, man..
@Louisa At least the jumpscares wake me up occasionally π₯± #monsterdon
@lytta holy shit are we about to find out she has been the leather wife and been turning everyone to werewolves the whole time #monsterdon
"You're not going to believe this Christopher...but Werewolves are real......no i have not 'been drinking again'"
*Terry stumbles across an old shack in the woods*
Is this movie about to show us a real estate scam
When the universe gives you an axe, you take it. #Monsterdon
Reporter girl wanders into the cabin and snoops around, a wolf paw having previously emerged behind her. The cabin is in use and its occupant is really into mason jars. She finds a pencil drawing like the ones in the killer's flat and takes pictures of it. She also finds a smiley face sticker like in the killer's flat and takes a picture of that. Then she finds a secret room full of weird drawings and crap like the killer had and takes pictures of that too.
hi #monsterdon whats your favorite werewolf music genre in this movie?
I always follow whispers I hear in the woods
The size of that tape recorder......you could hurt someone with it.
jeez, so the only time were gonna see werewolves is when they bang?
@Andres4NY It would be a good bit to make lycanthropy an STD
I'm unclear what the having-sex-by-the-fire thing has to do with turning into a werewolf?
"Hello good friend"
Hello Good Friend, We Are Both Humans In This Movie! #Monsterdon
Yeah, perusing old used book stores used to be fun back in the day. Now everything is on the internet. Almost can't find an old book store anymore. π
back in the day where the local occult bookstore could afford an absolutely cavernous amount of real estate #monsterdon
Back in civilization, other reporters are visiting the coroner to look at the killer's body or something, and they don't know how he can eat hamburgers in the room he dissects people. Which is a fair thing to wonder about.
Anyway, they open the morgue drawer for the body but discover that it is missing, despite being there before. Uh oh.
like cow-tippers, but they put the cows up on jacks so they can't walk.
The colony also has tennis, which helps with amnesia, so Karen and her girl friend are playing it, when an old cop appears to interview them about their coyote problem. He is impressed to see her because she is a newspaper on TV.
other #monsterdon people say this is a Slim Pickens cameo, which may explain why this scene exists.
Mentioned tennis, I'm counting that as a bechdel pass
...Isn't that one of the cavemen from those Geico commercials? #Monsterdon
The male lead is Christopher Stone. He and Dee Wallace were married and had a daughter. He passed of a heart attack in 1995 when he was 55. #monsterdon
this hoedown sucks is all I'm saying
those synthetic pants are pretty flammable tho...
Who'd win in a fight?
The book is Ayn Rand....
Just how unsupportive were all the men over her PTSD freeze?
