Folks it is now an hour until the weekly monster movie watch party. To avoid the tootstorm, set up a filter for the hashtag!

If you'd like to join in, this week we're watching THE GATE (1986), in which a bunch of teens summon Satan through a hole in their yard. Goddamn gophers, I tell you hwat.

The flick's on Tubi or Archive.org over here: archive.org/details/the-gate-1 Start the film at 9pm Eastern and toot along. See you there!

Only TEN MINUTES remain until the start of ! This is your last warning! Set up a hashtag filter to avoid it! Get the movie cued up if you're joining in! These are the only eventualities we are prepared to address! Good night, and god speed!

Wondering if this movie's just gonna be one long advertisement for John Deere riding mowers.

"When you've got weeds rising in your lawn like demons..."

SHIT, SPIDERS INCOMING

Wow, Hell is *right there*. Easy access, that's gonna put your property taxes up some.

Glen! This is your weirdly bitchy father figure, which all these movies seem to have!

Mom and dad have the same haircut.

"I can take care of this house!"

SMASH CUT TO: *explosions*

"What's with you today?"

Well, I lost my treehouse, my friend is a bug torturer, and the hellmouth opened up in the back yard. So it's been a full day :/

...Soundtrack straight out of Pod People. Trumpy!?

Bye mom! Take a long last look at the house, it's gonna be a smoking crater next time you see it!

It's the '80s! ♪ Do a lot of coke and vote for Ronald Reagan! ♫

Whoops, they just got a full dose of the zombie gas, sorry kids.

DON'T READ THE SATAN WORDS, DIPSHITS

Eh, it's just "Vote Reagan" said backwards.

It's very Bro in this party :/

When you're rockin' out but you're not old enough to use hair spray yet.

Oh hey, Robert Scarry's Big Book of Satanism.

Cactuar Joe

"Cool out"? I think you're mixing metaphors there, lady.

Yeah, Loverboy here will dig a hole in SATAN'S OWN WELL-MANICURED LAWN and put the DOG IN IT

Oh no! It's... A hole.

"You got demons" said in the same cadence and tone as "Yep, termite infestation."

Heheh

This kid is gonna grow up to be your weird uncle :P

"Hello, this is Satan Services, do you have time to answer a survey about the haunting experience you've had so far this evening?"

@CactuarJoe They kind of do look like the manual pages from the 3rd Edition era, but that was in the 2000s.
