Why does her guitar sound like a piano? Is the juxtaposition intentional?
Stan Winston? Really? Wow, now I'm more interested.
Kathy fall in the guano.
The bats! The bats! Drawn like a moth to the flame of her hair.
Squeaking! Flapping! Running! Johnny is having visions.
Cue the ski tourism footage.
OK, so they had a picnic in the desert, drove to the cave, caught the *last tour* of the day, then drove to the ski resort with plenty of time of hit the slopes.
Obviously a fantasy.
Rabies shots used to be given like that for real ... don't know if they still are or not.
Hell of an allergic reaction!
The bats would be much scarier if someone wasn't just holding their wings just out of frame.
"Real puzzler, ain't it."
The night calls to me ... think I'll slip out this window and beat up a mannequin.
And our next victims, smoking a joint! And having foreplay!
"I'd like to talk to your husband" but I'm kinda enjoying the view.
And we have smoking!
Did she just call him Charlie, then Johnny?
He's got a thing for climbing through windows. Him and the Boston Strangler.
Woo! Gas in 39 cents per gallon!
Having a bat-seizure while driving is likely not a Good Idea.
"Free, free free. Free as a .... shit."
The homeless guy is out-acting everybody else in this film.
Musta had a heart attack - there's no blood.
Id the sheriff hitting on bat-man's wife? Yes, yes he is.
Well, we went straight to attempted rape.
Did Johnny-Bat just kill somebody in the cave tour to take their car keys and steal the station wagon? Also, the victim just goes quietly along with that?
Tourist just leave cassette recorders on the front seat of their unlocked car.
So Doc Bat sucks off rats?
"I'm leaving" and starts to go out the window, natch.
WE'RE ACTUALLY GETTING BAT MAKEUP!
Yep, he had sex with his wife and left through the window.
Finally! Bat makeup for more than a split second on-screen.
Personally, I'd scrunch his brow down more and enlarge the ears so he reads more as a bat.
Black confetti thrown across the screen (matted) and wed're supposed to think they're bats.
Meanwhile, his wife is turning into the Bat Queen.
That's twice the sheriff has gotten stuck in sand. And the Bat Queen steps out, leaving the door open so the bats can kill the sheriff with the extended death by a thousand bites to organ music.
Must be near the end, the singer is back.
And she fucks off to the cave. The End.
Where's Doc Bat? Is he a full-time man-bat in the cave now? When did Cathy embrace the Bat Queen in herself?
So, this movie really was an excuse for the crew to have a ski vacation?
99% sure that's not Carlsbad, too, but some other show cave. They got the desert/mountain town down pretty accurately, though.
Thanks to @Taweret for hosting tonight's little film. Have to say it's the first Monsterdon where I really didn't care for anybody in the film.
Best acting was the hobo, followed by Cathy after she embraced her inner Bat Queen.
Never want to see it again, but enjoyed being a part of the shared experience tonight.
@Zerofactorial @YsengrinWolf @Taweret oh gods yes
