Wait, so two hundred years and he never looked in the ATTIC??? #Monsterdon

@hollie my guess is that this is the flavor of vampire where an 'original' vampire has more power, and they can make other vampires but they're not as good at being vampires. like copier burn

#Monsterdon

"Ground control to major John, take your protein pills and put your helmet on,
and look out for that set of stairs."

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Murders must be a lot easier when your house has a giant incinerator.

This is how I imagine relationships with Billionaires go, they age you....in Peter Thiels case they literally take your blood! 😉

Though I gotta say, the 'Blood Boy' think just looks like meth addiction, so unless his boys are on the meth I don't think it's working Peter, you cheeky Antichrist

#Monsterdon

"John? John?"

Are you decomposing in the studio? #Monsterdon

If you're a vampire, it's important to have the right music to die to. #Monsterdon

Whoa, Dr Roberts made John wait so long he's literally dying of old age, damn!

What's with this office lighting, though? It looks wonderfully gloomy, but are you supposed to be able to read anything in that waiting room? Were they trying to conserve electrical power in the 80s?

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Dude, you're in a hospital.

Find the blood bank.

#monsterdon #thehunger

#monsterdon When experiencing rapid aging, it's important to wear a really distinctive outfit, so people still know who you are.

“I’m going to find out if it kills me” lol Chekov’s irony

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

oh I remember this episode of Cowboy Bebop

#Monsterdon

Oops! Sound engineer bumped their Phaser pedal again

#monsterdon

Ughhh this is the third week in a row I've meant to join #Monsterdon but got busy with one thing or another (or forgot) >.<

*Monster Hunter Voice*: We'll get 'em next time, boys

so is she the elder vampire, and all the other vampires are imperfect?

maybe this synthesizer sting knows

#Monsterdon

@hollie Once a year she takes all the coffins down to the nearest Spirit Halloween and fobs some off on unsuspecting buyers as "realistic sounding haunted coffin decorations."
#monsterdon
@TerryHancock

Basically this movie is about the risks and rewards of installing redundant generators in your house. #Monsterdon

So basically:

Miriam was using her thralls like a kind of power generator, using them to fuel her eternal life. When Susan drank her blood, it broke her bond to her batteries and she spontaneously collapsed. Now Susan gets to create her own eternally dying boyfriend power generator in her attic! You go girl! #Monsterdon

Gotta say Susan Sarandon's character really won that battle, didn't she?

I want to live as an immortal bisexual vampire in the Barbican!

#Monsterdon

That was kind of a longish abrupt ending.

#Monsterdon

I don't know what's happening, but I also don't care

#Monsterdon

It's cool how she can layer her screams as she falls

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

So is Miriam gonna baby bird this guy's hemoglobin into her mouth, or...? #Monsterdon

Somehow not wearing a bra an yet no taxi will stop?

Are we to believe this?

#Monsterdon

If it can happen to Bella and Edward it can happen to Susan Sarandon

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Well, she's clearly knocked up with a vampire baby

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

"And we had this sherry in these fancy little glasses and..."

WE FUCKED just say it christ WE FUCKED #Monsterdon

[thinking about lesbian sex] she's… european

#Monsterdon

I'm counting Susan Surandon's *gestures* as a series of Careless Mistakes and declaring #MonsterdonBingo

#Monsterdon

with the kind of time catherine deneuve has she should play some ancient egyptian music that has been lost to musical history and claim it as her own so that she can like slowly influence the direction of musical culture over generations until all the music on the radio is stuff she likes because she made it #monsterdon

I saw someone earlier say that the imagery is all that stuck with them from this film

and at an hour in, I can see why. there doesn't seem to be very much else that could stick

it does look nice though

#Monsterdon

I hope Susan Sarandon survives this Radiohead video

#Monsterdon

hey folks, how do I play this movie in 2.5x speed?

#monsterdon

It's hilarious peeking in on the commentary here, I can see what (terrible) part the movie's at in my head 😂

#Monsterdon

"I don't usually get a smile at that."

Well I don't usually get lunch that delivers itself, so #Monsterdon

#monsterdon What I'm learning from this movie and last week's is that Vampires are drawn to really weird buildings.

Once again, the old eating the young. #Monsterdon

@binford2k #monsterdon

usually there's someone on here summarizing what's happened so far. That person seems to be confused into silence.

We never saw David Bowie get old enough to be "Old Man Staring At The Monolith" old 😔

Stupid Reality

#Monsterdon

Bowie considers a meal on wheels, declines because [reason elided for runtime]

#Monsterdon

Wow so you age faster AND the speed of time increases, that's a fascinating blood abnormality

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Smoking in a hospital. Yeah, I think Mr. Bowie deserves whatever happens next. #Monsterdon

The smoking per minute of this movie is off the charts.
#Monsterdon #TheHunger

I’d already have hit the panic button under my desk #Monsterdon

Okay now Bowie just looks like Judge Doom.

#monsterdon

"What am I going to do??!!"

Well you're going to put out some incredible albums...

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

I'm assuming the "Regret" on the bingo card has to be in-universe?

#Monsterdon

Quaaludes? You may know it by it’s street names: Moonage Daydream, Starman, Queen Bitch, Rebel Rebel, Fame, Young Americans…

#monsterdon

So the aging happens to everyone but her? What's that about?

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

oh is this movie about a vampire getting a sleep study

is that what we're building up to

#Monsterdon

"Pro-ge-ree-ah" is this movie's "sym-bye-oat." #Monsterdon

he's drinking blood with her, but he's thinking of cellos

#monsterdon #TheHunger1983

"Forever?"

Well iunno, I may go to grad school next year. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

You can tell it's the 80s because everyone has sunglasses like a Trigun villain. #Monsterdon

🦇 TURN DOWN YOUR LIGHTS 🦇

(they confuse the bats)

#Monsterdon

@Taweret this makes way too much logical sense for what I just watched

#Monsterdon

The moral of the story is… smoking kills

#monsterdon

that appeared to be boobs, smoking, goths, blood, sex, death and then roll credits. is that the plot?
#Monsterdon

the somber thoughtful walk of a dude who knows he's just missed the boat on the best 200 years of his life #monsterdon

Will no one think of the pigeons?

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

This is why you lock your freezer, Miriam

#monsterdon

Whoops, apparently someone found the Gatekeeper AND the Key. #Monsterdon

"you'll never grow old" ya know, until 100 years or so from now, when you'll really have some trouble, but c'est la vie

#monsterdon

@hollie Unfortunately Steve Martin is not in this film (though having seen the musical Little Shop of Horrors as a WrongFrogs a bit ago I can never not picture him in that leather outfit, so he'd fit right in if he was...)

#Monsterdon

"Split up with the boyfriend" she says, drenched in blood and grinning

This is like most vampire fiction these days, sexy vampire fiction

#Monsterdon

The Bangles single we didn't know we needed

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

i mean, Susan Sarandon could bit me any time she wanted. and I'd wear better shoes.

#monsterdon

"Crypto dudes", i'd feed off them and throw their bodies in the trash, would History judge this vampire?

#Monsterdon

lol, this guy. the difference between what he thinks his night is going to be like and the way it's actually going to turn out is frankly hysterical. #monsterdon

Underrated part of vampire fiction is phone tag. #Monsterdon

Look the circular minibar is COOL AS HELL

#monsterdon

@jonny

Romance is dead

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

She couldn't give a straight answer if she tried.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

See the problem here is that now we're gonna have like a half an hour of the doc awkwardly pretending to still be interested in her boyfriend. #Monsterdon

OH LOOK I SPILLED

ON MY SHIRT

OH HOW TERRIBLE

OH NO

WHAT AN

ACCIDENT

#Monsterdon

ma'am, i'm pretty sure YOU've been making passes at her. let's be honest with ourselves here.

#monsterdon

Just one more thing, ma’am… I’m sure everything is Hunky Dory, but has your husband been Dancing In The Street with Mick Jagger?

#monsterdon

Yes it's time to go full-on Carmilla here, miss #Monsterdon

lol, cannot get over how much Tony Scott crammed pigeons and doves into his movies, it's like he's a hack magician...

....anyway, this living death in a box thing is a pretty genuinely horrifying thought so well done

"Darling, I'm stacking you here with the others...."

#Monsterdon

What's the pigeon ecosystem here?

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

ah yes, Tallis. Music to Rot in a Grave Undying To.

#monsterdon

"Kill me, Miriam."

C'mon Miriam. Miriam are you gonna kill me now? How about now? Now? Now? #Monsterdon

Putting my Bowie down was one of the hardest things I had to do

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon And then he dies of old age. The end.

Tasteful nude note holder

#monsterdon

Bowie is now Bowie’s dad!

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe I kind of think the kid is the creepiest part of the movie.

#Monsterdon

I feel like the movie is Rick Rolling me

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon🧛‍♂️ 💞 🧛‍♀️ 💞 🥧 🍩 😱

obligatory goth rollerskating scene

I too, have sat in waiting rooms and quietly aged...

#Monsterdon

Okay seriously is this 1980 or 1930? #Monsterdon

If the producers could trade the cigarettes for light bulbs, they could perhaps manage to light one of the scenes in this movie.

#monsterdon

You can always spot the vampire because their fashion sense stops somewhere in the 1930s. #Monsterdon

Bela Lugosi is dead (spoiler alert)

#monsterdon

"Don't obstruct my deductions" - this is now my favorite comeback

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

I love how even her casual slap has the kung-fu "epic punch" sound

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

The naked blood lust is officially over! For now!

Thanks everyone, that was fun! :D Thanks to @Taweret for hosting the vampiric shenanigans!

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

And thus Sarah is Last Vampire Standing!

#monsterdon

And they all live spookily ever after in the land of blowing sheer curtains and pigeons, with vaguely European backdrops.

#monsterdon
