monsterdon replay · Best of The Howling

YAYYY! It's that guy whose name I forget every time!

I wish Erle was Dick Miller

Big Hair spotted!

See, this is why you always bring 5 flashlights with you when exploring the woods at night.

okay that's a clear pass, i mean, two named women talking about therapy

Doesn't know what cows sound like....is she from Space? Is she a Belter? She's handling the gravity well...

"aww hell, another one got up and walked out!"

The colony people sleep in a wooden longhouse. Karen wakes up after dreaming about what she almost remembers seeing in the booth, which she relates to the face of the old man she saw almost jump in the fire before. She hears some howling in the woods but Mr Mustache assures her that it is just a dog.

Unable to sleep, she makes a fire then putters around outside, discovering a ribbon of something on the trees. Then she hears more howling. A spooky guy in the woods watches her.

We have now reached the Bartok portion of tonight's score. #Monsterdon

Ma'am I appreciate you're an Intrepid Reporter but this may be the stupidest course of action a person in your position could possibly take. #Monsterdon

Ah, the mental health awareness of 1981

....we knew more about werewolves tbh

30 minutes in and we get a hint of monster! Hang on people!

@paco Why is there always a "creepy girl" at the beach in LA movie themes?
#monsterdon

Find you a man in a Sabertooth coat that looks at you like you purdy

lol, all the dudes given the hot, sex crazed lady a break....

"I'm looking for my wife."

Me too, Bill. #Monsterdon

Well, the colony seems friendly!

Because the sex trauma and or werewolf trauma is affecting her, Karen goes to see the TV psychologist, who prescribes a trip to his camp in the woods to cure his amnesia. The woods probably has werewolves in it.

Anyway, she is going there with Mr. Mustache, who we learn owns gyms. When they get there, it is an old time communal hoe-down attended by computer touchers, cowboys and people who have seen her on TV. This place is called "The Colony".

I'm using that doggy snarl to mark Teeth on my bingo card. I think it counts!

#monsterdon So many awesome bit-players in this movie. It's kinda comforting :)

From full goon, to full moon. Our report tonight looks at the link between lechery and lycanthropy.

#Monsterdon #TheHowling1981 so is the premise of this film that masturbators get such hairy palms that they become werewolves?

@SnoopJ
Bill "feeling wild and strong" while abusing his wife, and then going out to bang Marsha. That was my interpretation anyways. 🤷‍♂️

🦖#MONSTERDON Goodbye!

❤️ Thank you @Taweret for hosting this furry feature!

🅱️ and thanks @cherizilla for the Bingo card! My favorite was "Feeling Wild, Feeling Strong". That had to be the colony brochure tagline!

🦖 And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: Tremendous fun! I missed too many good posts and will get to them later. Kind of a lagniappe after the Loup-garou.

lycanthropy is just a plot by Big Silver to sell more weird bullets

lycanthropy is just a plot by Big Electrolysis to sell more electricity needles

@moira I have seen some werewolf movies I liked but my taste in movies is perhaps somewhat erratic #monsterdon

So, she said “I’m gonna turn into a really cute doggo on camera and THAT’S when I want you to blow my brains out” and dude was like “k, nbd.”

This movie just gives and gives and then gives some more.

@gnomon There was nothing too slow that they couldn't make room for it in this film. Even watching a burger fry.

georgieboy@toot.cat

Not sure what to think of this one. Production values weren't bad, the acting wasn't bad either, but what was with the plot? No ocean in to which to fuck off either. I'll take it though. Thanks @Taweret !

Has there ever been better end credits? Just a burger. So simple. So perfect.

My god.

Why did the Mazda explode?

Not even the in-universe explanation, I mean. What narrative purpose did that serve?

i think the scariest thing was that if she became a werewolf she would be trapped in the same tiny community as the stalker who attacked her

i think she's going to be a werewolf now but she's escaped both him and her shitty husband, i hope

tallestgoose@urusai.social

#Monsterdon unfortunately we have to put you down because you got bit right at the end but hey at least it was by your ugly boyfriend

However, the stolen Bird of Prey... I mean um... cop car... is then attacked by werewolves also because the colony has an inexhaustible supply of werewolves. One of them gets in and bites Karen so she can be a werewolf too. We discover the werewolf that bit her was her husband, Mr. Stache.

As they drive away, Karen vows to warn people so that they will believe in werewolves.

Not really in the spirit of things, but I think the werewolves shot with silver bullets count as on-screen deaths for bingo!

Thank you, 80's movies, for making an entire generation of kids grow up thinking that any minor traffic accident would cause cars to explode

Oh I remember how this ends now.....lol....

as the werewolf temple burns down, doing a small lycanthropic genocide, we get some howling. eventually they reach a sports car, but a werewolf on the roof starts attacking them until they shoot it and drive off.

The cop werewolf blocks them and shoots at them with normal bullets, disabling the car, so reporter boy gets out and shoots him with silver bullets. Then their car explodes because of anime physics so they take the cop car instead.
