The Gate: It's Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead but with fewer demons #Monsterdon

...I have a theory about this movie. Check this out:

There weren't actually any demons in The Gate.

Stay with me here, I think I can prove it.

#Monsterdon

So the movie starts with a lightning bolt striking a tree, which falls over. The hole the tree leaves is a gateway to hell, right?

Except it isn't, not at first.

First, the kids find some geodes. Remember those? The kids busily crack them open and wa-hey, they sparkle as you open them.

The spooky shit doesn't start happening until the kids OPEN the geodes and start imagining things. #Monsterdon

What if the lightning strike created some kind of weirdass Belief Energy contained in those geodes? Something that reacts to what you believe?

You notice the first real Monster monsters in the movie are the things kids fear the most -- their parents, angry. Before that, it's not really even Evil shit -- Terry's mom didn't turn into a monster, she just vanished, leaving behind not TERRY's fear, but *Glen's.*

Glen, who was up in the room with the geode. #Monsterdon

I think the whole two-day affair eventually centered around Satanic invasion because that's what metal-head Terry had on his mind for the whole time. And then, as he told other people about it, a narrative coalesced and it became a *social* belief.

That's why the Bible worked and the Rites of 80's Nu Metal failed -- only Terry thought the band's rites would work, but *everyone else* was a white kid who got dragged to Sunday School. #Monsterdon
