He only has fifteen minutes to reload while they transform!

#Monsterdon #TheHowling1981

Why would you...put the gun down?!

#monsterdon

HAH! Half a dozen werewolves looking in shock at a dead fellow is funny.
#Monsterdon #TheHowling

let marsha escape!!!!!

#monsterdon

okay but WHY do you have silver bullets in there

#Monsterdon

i am fucking losing my mind at the werewolf that just spends all his time shapeshifting just getting immediately shot that is such a good bit #monsterdon

thank god he didn't wait around for 5 mins to shoot him

this dude ain't half bad i guess

who is he again?
#monsterdon

what is this "Bright boy" thing he's got going on?

uh-oh, five minute transformation again....

#Monsterdon

doctor doctor, gimme the news

I got a
bad case of

fleas #monsterdon

Differently from D&D, transforming to/from wolf doesn't regenerate hit points #monsterdon #thehowling

Picardo's channeling Brando #monsterdon

Don’t tell me Mazda nerd is going to be our hero.

#monsterdon

15 minutes. Let's get this wrapped up. #Monsterdon #TheHowling

@jonny Turns out this movie is an arch critique of the business of broadcast news #monsterdon

@lytta Hmm yeah I think I missed that

#Monsterdon

Why is that guy complaining about a missing hand? They're supposed to regenerate them...
#monsterdon

Wait, that's a Mazda RX-7 with a Wankel Rotary Engine!
#monsterdon

His face is bubbly. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon I like the tire screech stopping on grass.

#Monsterdon

Wtf the werewolf isn't even hot

i still like horny lady/marsha

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon🐺 👨 🌲 😱

For a reporter, Karen is very slow to pick up on things

@steggy By my count it was 4 solid minutes of screen time where he transformed and she just stood there.
#monsterdon

oh wow check out that weaving-in-traffic shot! that must have cost a pretty penny for (presumably) a single shot

#Monsterdon

So the werewolves are pod people?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Ah. The transformation effects. Probably was a whole feature in Cinefex.

The car is a bit flash for a local news reporter....

#Monsterdon

She could have thrown the acid 4 hours ago. That transition was painfully slow.

#Monsterdon

@culturednyc Well, for those in the movie yeah... :ms_eyes: #Monsterdon

Running right now would be bad etiquette. You must wait until the beast is fully formed and then attempt to flee. #Monsterdon

Did they yell at Rob Bottin for repeating this transformation in American Werewolf?

Edit: wait, that was Rick Baker in AWIL too and baker started on Howling so… confused but guessing there were hard feelings somewhere around all this.

#TheHowling1981 #Monsterdon

@amyfou I think he is transforming to impress the girl he likes #monsterdon

I mean these effects are pretty good for the time but they have taken five minutes.....

oh she did find a weapon, good lady!

#Monsterdon

Now BOOP THAT SNOOT!

#monsterdon #TheHowling1981

I mean, she could have left like 50 times by now...just saying

#Monsterdon

yeah lady, take a shot of medicinal brandy

#monsterdon

karen, ya know, you could just like, walk away while he's standing here wigglin
#monsterdon

The hidden costs of werewolfism: new button-ups

#Monsterdon

Quick, Karen. Get a rolled up newspaper!!!! #Monsterdon

looking for reporter girl, Karen wanders into the psychology lab and finds her body under a sheet. Then she is ambushed by the guy she met before in the porn store. He pulls a bullet out of his head and then starts turning into a werewolf, first going through a transitional caveman form before fully busting out of his clothes and glaring at her.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

Instead of watching this transformation I would run.

Why trombones right now?
#Monsterdon

so it grows different ears out of the top of its head? does it have 4 ears now?

#Monsterdon

They call him InflataWolf!

#Monsterdon #TheHowling 🐺

This is the “I’m into CrossFit now” portion of the movie

#Monsterdon

I love Robert Picardo ❤️

#Monsterdon

damn, poor guy must go through so many clothes
#monsterdon

EMW (emergency medical werewolf) “Please state the nature of the emergency.”

#monsterdon

cool VFX though dang

#Monsterdon

Why is he only taking the bullet out now? It's been days #monsterdon #thehowling

@Lazarou

Well, they are in the ~~med bay~~ doctor's office

#Monsterdon

Ok, I think the wood on the walls in this office counts as bingo "Wood Panelling".

#Monsterdon #TheHowling #TheHowling1981

#Monsterdon🐺 👨 🌲 😱

ok he IS a zombie werewolf?

Wait, she uncovered her friend, then her friend was on the floor, but how did she get on the table? I am confused
#monsterdon

Okay, but what *is* this werewolf doing? Why kill Terry like that?

#Monsterdon #TheHowling1981

#Monsterdon a surprisingly subdued reaction to her friend as a horrifying bloody corpse, but hey that's the most normal thing she's seen all day i guess

@klu9 @msh muti-level mutt-tening retreat

#monsterdon #TheHowling1981

Some therapy retreat this is
#Monsterdon

real "oh no! …anyway" reaction from Karen there

#Monsterdon

Before the doctor will see you, have there been any changes in your lycanthropy insurance?
#monsterdon

So much violence against women in this movie.

It's almost as bad as Revenge of the Nerds or some of the other early 80s comedies. #monsterdon

Dunno this guy has more coyote vibes instead of werewolf #Monsterdon

...THEN WHERE IS THE AMBASSADOR?!

#monsterdon #TheHowling1981

Even the wolves slap women in this thing.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheHowling1981 office werewolves are the worst

Ah it wouldn't be an 80's horror movie without some good ol' domestic violence 🤦

#Monsterdon

@allanb THERE MUST BE BUT WHO IS ANYONE #monsterdon

She needs to get the fuck outta there. There hasn't been one pleasant or "therapeutic" moment the entire time she's been there.
#monsterdon

Not cool, movie. I signed up for horror, not domestic violence

#Monsterdon

Bill sucks #monsterdon

oi, sir!

#monsterdon

gotta hand it to 'em #monsterdon

There's just gonna be a bigger werewolf in there

#Monsterdon

  🐺🩸 THE TRIVIALING 🩸🐺

🎃 The special effects and make-up for The Howling were state of the art. But famous make-expert Rick Baker left production to make another werewolf movie produced at the same time.

🎃 He left his protégé, though, Rob Bottin, with the design to have the a wolf-human hybrid that stands on two legs.

#TheHowling1981

VIOLINS!!!!!
#Monsterdon

Need remodeling fast!?

Call Werewolf Demolition services, inc!

Day or or night, our work leaves our customers howling!

#monsterdon #thehowling

@jonny that was a _really_ good effect.

#monsterdon

These aren't, like, An American Werewolf in London level awesome effects, but they're pretty fuckin' cool.

#Monsterdon #TheHowling1981

For a second there I thought it was going to flip her the bird. Raimi would have done that. #Monsterdon #TheHowling

And thus, Thing was born. #monsterdon

In a nude scene many were hoping for #Monsterdon

Well now Bill is doomed to become bitey, but also moody and slow.

#Monsterdon

is this like The Thing, where each part is its own organism? wth?

#monsterdon

it gives her 'the finger"

#monsterdon

fool! if you cut a werewolf in half you get two werewolves!

#monsterdon #TheHowling1981

okay, minus several thousand for not leaving the instant she saw all the disgusting newspaper clippings, but i guess she gets some points for grabbing a weapon and then actually using it.

#monsterdon

where is the pumpkinhead cinematographer when you need them

#Monsterdon

awoooouch

#Monsterdon

can't a guy just curate a gooncave with a blend of titties and me drawing myself as a dog #monsterdon

good thing he keeps his knives REAL sharp

edit: oh it was an ax. good thing he keeps the ax real sharp

#monsterdon

The wolf doesnt like when it you photo their scrap book collection 🤷#Monsterdon

This version of The Watchmen is really weird.

#monsterdon #thehowling

Leave him alone. He's monsterbating. #Monsterdon #TheHowling

TBH I'm more scared about that enormous syringe than those moody slow werewolves

#Monsterdon

nothing in this movie is shot well

#Monsterdon

the smiley faces feel like something left over from the script of a different movie but I guess we *are* still waiting for Eddy's reintroduction here

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon electricity but no locks. sure i guess. who needs locks if you're a werewolf i guess

@lytta she's taking pictures now! #Monsterdon

@Lazarou even normal people with shacks in the woods don't like random strangers wandering around their shacks, i'd bet

#monsterdon

Careful! You'll get your rabbit cooked. Hey, that really does work as a euphemism! #Monsterdon
