Roaring lion roars.

Oh, my. What's this intro song? Is this a James Bond film? Are the bats going to shoot little pistols?

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

Oh, she's playing this song in the car on her guitar. It's amazing she can make that guitar sound like a harp. She's got skills.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

The movie's already half-way over, and we haven't made it out of this opening son.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

This will be the look we collectively have on our faces for this entire film.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

Love this park ranger's accent! He's totally character-acting that character!

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

"Something down here makes me feel primitive."

You feel like you're in the stone age? You need to hunt and gather?

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

Kathy, you can be as primitive as you want in that little hidey hole in the cave!

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

When I was a kid, I was with my family in a cave in western North Carolina somewhere (near Boone or Blowing Rock or Cherokee, or somewhere like that), and a bat flew into some lady's hair just like this. She had been scared the entire time of bats, and then she got "attacked" by one. This was the mid-80s; I bet she had seen this movie.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

That's some of the worst acting running I've ever seen.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

So, the bat bites or scratches him, he's an expert on bats (or something like that), and he doesn't even think, "I should probably go get checked out at the hospital?"

They just...go skiing?

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

1970s Chekhov's sauna.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

So, a cut on the hand is serious enough to get first aid, but not a bite from a bat?

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

Oh...now, I get it. It's a 30-day incubation period, so he's got plenty of time to go skiing, while rabies grows in his system.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

That's the largest hypodermic needle I've ever seen to administer a rabies shot.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

"Do I think you're going to have another allergic reaction like that? I don't think so because I'm a doctor, and I know these things. No one has the same allergic reaction twice."

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

Something about this feels vaguely Lovecraftian to me.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

He did absolutely nothing to the nurse. She freaked out and fell on some beakers, breaking the glass, which slashed her neck.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

"Right now, you are a patient doctor."

He doesn't seem very patient, to me.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

"For once in your life, can't you do what I ask?"

So, it's turning into that kind of relationship?

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

Can we see some bat people or, at least bats, killing people?

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

Is that cop threatening to take his wife?

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

She's not wearing the nighty he got her.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

That looked like Jerry Lewis beating a mannequin and trying to put on a jacket.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

"Hey, doc. I found your medical braclet near that store with the broken window and the mannequin last night."

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

She did such a good job running away until the very end, when she decided to escape by crouching down on the ground.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

Sgt: "There's been one or two things bothering me. One is a girl who had her throat ripped out, and another is that your wife isn't wearing that nighty you bought for her."

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

"These pills will knock out an elephant, but they won't knock out a bat. That's kind of the trick."

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

If you're trying to flee from the hospital by stealing an ambulance, why the fuck would you turn on the siren?

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

"You don't look like the kind of fella who runs around wearing pajamas."

"Look, man, you don't know me!"

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

"You're quite a philosopher."

"It's the booze talking. You ever talked to a drunk, man?"

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

Apparently, were bats can hold their liquor.

#Monsterdon #TheBatPeople1974

Bat man! There's the cave! It's your home! Go to your home!
