Folks it is about an hour until the weekly monster movie watch party. If you want to avoid a flood of goofy toots, I recommend setting up a hashtag filter in your preferences.

If you'd like to join in, we're watching CRITTERS (1986) this week, one o' them Gremlins-alikes. You can catch it for free over on Tubi: tubitv.com/movies/100001406/cr

We start at 9pm eastern! Be there or be a small dubiously constructed rubber mammal!

There are now ten minutes until . If you're joining in, cue up the movie and get your snacks together. If you're trying to avoid it, make sure your filter is set up. If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.

Y'know, I can't figure out if I've seen tonight's movie before or not. Or if I'm just confusing it with Gremlins, or Hobgoblins, or one of the eighty other rubbery ugly/cute knockoff movies that came out in the '80s.

And I suspect I'll still feel like that after having watched it.

Oh, New Line Cinema. You think this is a sequel to Reefer Madness?

New Line Cinema, the cinema so nice we displayed the logo twice.

Huh, Conehead prison warden.

Aw hell, it's not Hobgoblins, it's fucking *LASERBLAST* D: D: D:

Hey, Billy Zane. Maybe the starship'll hit an iceberg.

Aw hell, it's M Emmet Walsh :/

"They're comin', Harv."

Don't be stupid. This is a PG film.

Man that guy has a lumpy face.

Ah, it's the tie-in record. Available in castoff bins near you!

I've got a cake mold that'll do that.

Imagine you break out of jail and Michael Jackson chases you down.

Yeah yeah, farm explosives alien lore, melt another guy's face off!

Watch out for the furniture doilies, kids.

"You know better'n that, boy!"

Does he, tho?

That's what we call a Standard 80's Kids' Room.

@CactuarJoe yeah, probably. it's from that era of puppet monsters and they kinda blur together in a lot of ways. My understanding is that this franchise really grows legs in its sequels (which I haven't seen)
