Wait is that a porn store?

#Monsterdon

Looked like Woody Allen there. #Monsterdon #TheHowling

A very skeevy establishment indeed #monsterdon

if only this West LA still existed

#monsterdon

@georgieboy
Remember videocassettes?

#monsterdon

Well, this weird-scalated quickly #monsterdon

Aww dang it. We didn't get to hear Roger say anything in his perfect enunciation of every word.
#Monsterdon #Howling

Took me a minute to get things set up for Airplay but I'm a) confused and b) not sure I missed anything that would make me otherwise

#monsterdon

Meanwhile, in the Combat Zone

#Monsterdon

VIDE CASSETTES #monsterdon #thehowling

They couldn't afford a car with a radio in it? That's not great.

#Monsterdon #TheHowling1981

HI ROGER! #Monsterdon #TheHowling

“What kind of half ass operation is this ?” #Monsterdon

pay phones! #monsterdon #thehowling

I remember seeing this movie on tv when I was like ten(?) or so

#Monsterdon

Chekhov's College Football Career

#Monsterdon

hey uh mega cw for sexual assault in this #monsterdon btw

Remember pay phones?

#monsterdon

What they don't tell you is this dude is rehearsing for real and they just filmed it for budget #monsterdon (/s)

#monsterdon

Ah, the exploded tie look..

@SRLevine Eh, you know enough

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheHowling1981 less dirty callers more werewolves

the director: "yeah i want you to lick your lip real creepy and sexy"

#monsterdon

I _want_ the guy's sweater.

#monsterdon

So much neon tho #Monsterdon

Hey, his voice changed! A bit late for puberty to hit though. #Monsterdon

alright i'm here has anyone displayed symptoms of the howling yet #monsterdon

He’s a high intensity newsman.

#Monsterdon

Did he just dry and wipe his face with the guy's script?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Where do they come from, where do they go? Where do they come from

Dennis Dugan has had an interesting career. He did a tv pilot for a detective show and promo'd it with a crossover on Rockford Files but no dice. I think the pilot is the only thing that aired. I always think of him as the dad in Can't Buy Me Love. He always adds. Very likable. #monsterdon

"Where did he come from" "Where did he go"
Oh great, now I have Cotton Eye Joe song stuck in my head. And I only know the chorus...

#Monsterdon

Fox 1?

#Monsterdon #TheHowling1981

hahah, bathroom rehearsals

#monsterdon

This is exactly how I got into Iron Maiden

#Monsterdon

This reminds me of the start to Dawn of the Dead (original).

#monsterdon

Sir, we're getting signal interference! Must be werewolves! #monsterdon

🚨 CAMEO!!! 🚨

ROGER CORMAN (director Joe Dante's mentor) is waiting to use the phone booth after "Karen White." Notice how he checks for coins in the slot. Dante is joking about how Corman was a penny-pincher.

But this scene is also an homage to director William Castle's appearance at a phone booth in "Rosemary's Baby," waiting for Mia Farrow. (This was actually confirmed June 2025 at a convention)

#TheHowling1981

this guy gets eaten early on, right? please?

#monsterdon

Weeks Ago retired to Crystal Lake, where he worked with local summer camp operators.

#monsterdon #TheHowling1981

Damn it Eddie? #Monsterdon

Eddie!

#monsterdon
#TheHowling

#Monsterdon
Whoa. Almost late. Now we're talking about repression...

Flotsam and Jetsam? This is a Little Mermaid crossover?

#Monsterdon #TheHowling1981

I just FINALLY finished putting away the groceries, hurrying to catch up with #Monsterdon!!

This might be the best werewolf movie? Definitely top three, but I haven't seen it in decades.
#Monsterdon #Howling

A little less of the frantic flickering in the opening credits would be nice #Monsterdon

That is the exact same police monitor my Grandad used to listen to for hours on end way back when. #Monsterdon #TheHowling

#rootpost for #monsterdon (the howling)

“Happy Face Jump Scare” sounds like a good band name… #monsterdon #TheHowling1981

Even smiley faces are worse in our current timeline

That little sticker was smirking #Monsterdon

Oh no, Not the Smiley Emoji!!!!

#Monsterdon

Starting with treating a woman like a prostitute. We're off to a great start.

Oh the 80s... #monsterdon

Dinner? Had
Drinks? Poured
Knitting? Grabbed
#Monsterdon ? Queued

Let's do this 😎

obligatory #monsterdon ACAB

This might just *barely* meet the definition of "seduction" for bingo purposes

#Monsterdon

<waynes world> EXTREME CLOSE UP! </waynes world>

#Monsterdon #TheHowling1981

We've already got some excellent sweaters here.

#monsterdon #TheHowling

:)

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

  🐺🩸 THE TRIVIALING 🩸🐺

🎃 Make-up lead Rob Bottin was tasked with "the most incredible transformations ever filmed" and sculpted ten separate transitional heads for Robert Picardo to get it right.

🎃 Most were destroyed after getting the right look - a look unlike any werewolf movie before.

#TheHowling

I'd Rather Be Watching David Cronenberg's Videodrome (1983)

#Monsterdon

Introduction to Animal Electrodynamics by John "totally not a canada goose" David Jackson

#Monsterdon #TheHowling1981

That producer later owned U62?

#monsterdon

I mean, they say to shoot what you know

and these are very *pretty* shots of a news show.

#monsterdon

Dr. Waggner surely got picked on as a kid by the werewolves

#Monsterdon

Joe Dante directed!! (Gremlins, Inner Space etc)

#Monsterdon

How come so many 80's horror flicks involve talk shows. I'm looking at you The Hunger and Videodrome. #Monsterdon #TheHowling

That intro sequence was not easy on the eyes -_-

#Monsterdon #TheHowling1981

Kevin McCarthy has always been the same age

#Monsterdon

Television is the retina of the mind's eye #monsterdon #thehowling

This psychology guy is an IMMEDIATE strong no from me #Monsterdon

MURDERING MESSIAH is a great name for a band #monsterdon #thehowling

Repression is the father of neurosis.

And Bugs Bunny is NOT the father of Babs and Buster Bunny!

#monsterdon

i lost a pretty good flute once

#monsterdon #TheHowling1981

Welcome back to the show Joe Dante. Is the little stop motion piranha man back too?
#Monsterdon #Howling

I only have one good eye at the moment so arranging windows on my monitors is proving a bit challenging #Monsterdon

Ooof seizure warning for the opening credits

#Monsterdon #thehowling1981

Is that Patrick McNee????

#Monsterdon

"Wall of Crazy"

#Monsterdon

Damn, written by John Sayles

#Monsterdon arthouse!

John Steed! Noooo! #Monsterdon #TheHowling

And we come out swinging with ✅ Literal Howling and ✅ Scratching Noises #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon controls the horizontal, and the vertical

Co-starring James Murtaugh who’s getting too old for this shit.

#Monsterdon

Music by Pinocchio #monsterdon

Slim Pickens. I forgot he was in this #Monsterdon

"REPRESSION"

i think that's a good sign that this will be entertaining

#monsterdon

Ok, we better see Slim Pickens bareback riding a woof towards Lapooter, or I want my money back! #Monsterdon

STEED!

#monsterdon #TheHowling1981

Slim...Pickins?
#monsterdon

can you stop with the squeeling please movie

#monsterdon #TheHowling1981

Blurry red text, that's how you know it's a horror movie

#Monsterdon

Y’all, just based on that red & black intro, this could either be The Howling, or a historical thriller with Christopher Plummer & Gregory Peck about WWII and the Vatican

#Monsterdon

Hell yeah, good classic horror film. Can't wait for some sexy werewolf action! This is like Twilight for werewolves, right? All the monsters are sexy? #monsterdon

Featuring SLIM PICKENS

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I forgot Slim Pickens was in this 😂🤣😂

#monsterdon HAS BEGUN

I am here for Picardo face melting
