...Though I am waiting for him to try to re-set the electric fence fuses. Hold on to your butts. #Monsterdon

This also has a Pink Floyd The Wall film vibe to it. #monsterdon

sorry I mean a *horny* vampire getting a sleep study

#Monsterdon

That's not her vampire powers doing that, that's her queer powers...

#Monsterdon

Are we going to get vampires via medical experimentation (or medical experimentation to try to get the secret of the vampires)?

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Imagine telling David Bowie he looks awful. Ever.

#monsterdon

That's not how you pronounce that medical term...
#Monsterdon #TheHunger

Looking at David Bowie is liek looking at a stallion in a barn? Movie what are you doing with symbolism?
Okay now I wanna kiss Bowie, I get that part.
#Monsterdon #TheHunger

Monkey footage > Big Macs

#Monsterdon

I don't think I've ever seen anybody light a cigarette with a Zippo at that angle.

#monsterdon

Why does that monkey sound like… that?

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

#monsterdon Theres a lot of implied…. uhhhh... large kitty action…

I'm cool with this movie just being a music video. #monsterdon

Newwave music? It's like I'm in my car listening to SXM.
#Monsterdon #TheHunger

I was the first deejay at my college radio station to play the Bauhaus

#Monsterdon

The opening scenes of "The Hunger" for #Monsterdon look very much like an 80s MTV feed in low-budget movie form.

word! Uncle Guo, Vampire-Killa!

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

holy cats this is hilarious!

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

Bet YouTube got a spike of folks playing this one tonight https://youtu.be/Yy9h2q_dr9k

what if he's bad meaning good?

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

I'm confused *Mr. Vampire* while right goofy, and I don't speak Cantonese, I understand way better than The Hunger. #Monsterdon, I think I might have missed something... But it feels like it was, "conclusion that Monsterdon film was a nothingburger..." I found the short end I did catch was interesting in some way.

Where can I find The Hunger? I've tried finding it on Internet Archive, by my search either had thousands or it didn't show up... :(

I came for the hopping vampires, I stayed for the synchronized strip slapping #monsterdon

hey, his coffin is entering TRON...

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

I don't think this guy has the rizz he thinks he has...

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

hey, it's Chinese juggalos!

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

@klu9 #monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

thx

darn, I had to step away for a couple minutes and now I have no idea wat's going on.

this man gonna run afoul of a pimp by the end of the movie...

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

I must insist on being called "Millionaire Terencio" from now on.

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

Western tea? like from Starbucks?

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

Okay, that was a real monster! And, I thought I’d seen this, but now I think I only saw the sexy excerpts back in the day? Anyway, glad to have joined in the #Monsterdon viewing. Thanks, as always, @Taweret for setting it all up. Watch out for those pointy ankhs!

Slap stick necromancy works surprisingly well.
#Monsterdon #MrVampire

Oh it's a thing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiangshi
"Chinese hopping vampire"
#monsterdon

Imma give that one 7/5 pigeons and check it off the list

#monsterdon

@geonz @Taweret @miru eh I felt like it was all kind of ignorable

but yes, there was sex and pigeons and smoking

#Monsterdon

@TerryHancock Should I be worried you thought of a solution that quickly? 🤔

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Okay, why is Miriam suddenly aging now? And why is this letting all the failures decompose?

I do not understand vampire physiology.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger

Thank you for another wonderful movie watching experience. @Taweret, that was a great selection and I look forward to next week.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go experiment with tobacco. The movie made a compelling case. Have a great week everyone!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon If the studio hadn't sabotaged the ending (as I learned from @JoeWynne ) , this would have made a kind of sense. As it is, it makes no sense. It was certainly atmospheric and sexy. I don't regret watching it, but I certainly won't rewatch it.

No, Tubi, not watching Altered States next. That's enough weird for the night. #Monsterdon

MISTER VAMPIRE about to start on miry.miyaku.media!!!

#monsterdon #wrongHunger

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983 Not bingo, and I refuse to check "City at Night" because really everything at night happened indoors, usually at home.

Summary: a lot of nothing happened and it took a long time

there were vampires I guess

A fun time was had regardless! Thanks @Taweret for hosting and everybody for posting! Now over to @miru for the eagerly anticipated Mr. Vampire...

#Monsterdon

That's quite the comeuppance for the worst vampire queen ever. Still don't understand how the pigeons pulled this off.

#Monsterdon

Maybe this movie should have leaned harder into vibes by being shorter, especially not attempting to have a scientific explanation?

Though I suppose that would weaken the sex/blood/fluidborne disease aspect

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

This wasn't a good movie. But it was a great movie.
I really liked it but the pace was languid, which was fine. It just didn't feel like having a final act it felt like. Great tone piece of vampire lore and lust and addiction and stuff. I could have used more David Bowie. Like his memories could have haunted the second half. But that would have got in the way of lesbian vampires so eh.
#Monsterdon #TheHunger

The only thing missing was Miriam dying on the floor saying something like, "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe..."

But, at least they kept the pigeons everywhere.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Listen, this is the last time we bring any of your 'friends' home from the bar. Just look at this mess!

#Monsterdon
#TheHunger

She loved them by proxy, no give and all take

THE END

Yeah I know this #Monsterdon predates Cutting Crew but you know...it fits.

Hope Sarah took this as a valuable Learning Experience.

Thanks for another spooooky one @Taweret ...see everyone they can be actually good and still be fun!

Look: you defeat a vampire by having them turn you, committing suicide, triggering an uprising of their past lovers who kill them, then you're the vampire and they're the one locked in a coffin

IT COULDN'T BE SIMPLER

#Monsterdon

@hollie Special private plane with no windows. Haven't you read Elizabeth Hunter's "Elemental" books?

(it's pretty relentlessly heterosexual and the first quartet has a creepy age difference, scratch that, basically all of them do)

#Monsterdon

Well that was splendid homoerotic vampire nonsense, well done everyone!

#Monsterdon

and that’s how you become European #monsterdon

Let us all enjoy the procession of everyone to be blamed for this film's existence

#Monsterdon

Zero idea wtf is happening now

#Monsterdon

Round of applause for Temu Columbo here 👏👏👏

#Monsterdon

Temu Columbo

#monsterdon

Sarah was supposed to fight all 7 evil exes. This is what happens when you don't.
#monsterdon

GHOSTBUSTERS STAIRS

FATALITY

BOWIE WINS

#Monsterdon

@amyfou you really dont want that to happen. pigeon lice on ya face.
#Monsterdon

RAILING KILL! #Monsterdon

Me at my high school reunion

#Monsterdon

eugh, ALL the exes are back. whoops.

#monsterdon

John! You’re back with your house tilting ways!

#monsterdon

"You've let yourself go I see...."

#Monsterdon

This is what it sounds like when doves cry.

#Monsterdon

wasn't expecting it so soon, she doesn't have a coffin ready yet.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon dammit now I have no lover, weird echo effects and I have to clean up all this damn blood!

That’s a hell of a lesbian breakup. #monsterdon

That was the HOTTEST bloodletting ever.

#Monsterdon

It’s Ok, these are Vampire Makeouts now.

#monsterdon

Come on. She met the last guy. Does she really believe it’s forever? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon You'll be young forever, you just might have an occasional bought of coffin.

Just skip the TOS and click Accept

#Monsterdon

@paco 😆#Monsterdon

"...you'll be young forever"
"Yeah, about that."

#Monsterdon #TheHunger

I guess the blood makes you time travel now or some shit idc

#Monsterdon

She gets up like, "Mm, I smell breakfast." #Monsterdon

more weird sunnies than The Matrix

#monsterdon

Probably this movie's aesthetic influenced The Matrix?

#Monsterdon

@yatsu #monsterdon

and yet he's better off than all those pokemon sitting in the attic coffins forever...

This movie is too much with the billowing drapes #monsterdon

🚬

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

Interesting, William Dafoe has a crucifix (for the symbolism. There's no reason to expect it to do anything to these vampires)

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

@arrjay Cabs are like mirrors

<the more you know.gif>

#Monsterdon

I've seen some phlebotomists make worse bruises than that. Sometimes the veins just don't cooperate. #Monsterdon #TheHunger

#monsterdon I can't give you a straight answer cause I'm a gay vampire :(

So did she, I've totally lost the plot, if there ever was one.

#monsterdon

It’s All-Natural Vampirism don’t worry

#monsterdon

it is generally considered polite to ask first, Miriam.

#monsterdon

Like, Europeans do that. #Monsterdon

The second hand smoke in this film must have been atrocious during filming.

#Monsterdon

So… smoking in labs probably won't affect the samples, right?

🙄

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

This was years before Twitter:

"Don't you want to know what I think?"

"I'm sure you're going to tell me anyway."

#monsterdon

She's..... European :bloblewd: #Monsterdon

She's that kind of a woman. She's European (sexual)

#Monsterdon

yes we eurotrash are well know for biting on a first date and giving out crazy gifts. fact
