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

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

@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

So much neon tho #Monsterdon

I _want_ the guy's sweater.

#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...

🚨 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

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

this guy gets eaten early on, right? please?

#monsterdon

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

#TheHowling

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

Flotsam and Jetsam? This is a Little Mermaid crossover?

#Monsterdon #TheHowling1981

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

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

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)

This movie starts with credits over some TV static in the background set to various quotes that are ominous in a vaporwave sort of way.

Then we go to a guy on a talk show telling the audience that repression is what makes things bad and that we should not deny the beast between us. This guy is trying to sell a book about something, perhaps about how to be a werewolf.

#monsterdon

“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

#Monsterdon #TheHowling1981

every time I see "Dee Wallace" I think it says "Dee Snider" for one brief, bright, hopeful moment. #monsterdon

We've already got some excellent sweaters here.

#monsterdon #TheHowling

#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.

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

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

I choose to believe that this movie opening with a howl means it's a direct continuation of The Werewolf of Washington.

#Monsterdon #TheHowling1981

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?

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 😂🤣😂
