Yes, more dogs! Loud ones, not bred for tracking! #monsterdon

"On Venus we discovered - quite by accident - that these creatures are extremely susceptible to electric shock."

By accident? Advice to these poor lizard-things - stay clear of these clumsy humans!

#monsterdon

is this where we sing the MASH theme song? #monsterdon

Electrically charged wire net being dropped from a helicopter. There are so many potential ways this can go wrong! YES!!!

(also adding the paratroopers for funsies)

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon car chase!??!

I swear to god Bob looked like he was going to say hot diggity. #Monsterdon

@yatsu Well, you know it's a part of the standard operating procedure. Land on planet, engage wildlife, drop electrified wire net on them, complete logbooks, et cetera et cetera #Monsterdon

@bunnyhero EXACTLY

would any of us be any better?

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

AYFKM we are gearing up for a Magnetic Monster ending AGAIN #monsterdon

Lol @ the Helicopter net

#monsterdon

These creatures are extremely susceptible to electric shock. You know, JUST LIKE HUMANS. #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

Anette Funicello? Don't electrify her and drop her on a beast!

#monsterdon
#20MillionMilesToEarth

1950s obsession with nets what is going on here

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

discovered that by accident, did you. #monsterdon

If the cafe is dark enough she won't have to look at his arrogant potato head.

#Monsterdon

You’re out. You’re not a war time commissario. #Monsterdon

Less Bob. More monster.

#Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

Hate flirting is still flirting #Monsterdon

@apLundell yeah saw that coming from a Long Kilometre away #Monsterdon

@diazona At least a friend to talk the lovely doctor out of that bad date.

#Monsterdon

@codehive
It will hold up in Monster Court!

#Monsterdon

@trixter on the other hand, given his womanizing in Perry Mason only a few years later, we can assume it doesn't last. #monsterdon

real car but looks like toy car

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

Oh good job Paul, just start an international incident by stealing a cop car. #Monsterdon

I'm starting to think rampaging monsters are a kind of aphrodisiac. These couples and their "After this is over lets get busy" looks. #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

Imagine if it eats garlic and sulfur. #monsterdon

Last week: sugar.

This week: sulphur.

#monsterdon

@brooke I counted it #Monsterdon

disclaimer: I don't know how to flirt in the 2020s either

don't put it in a zoo! did you learn nothing from the last #monsterdon I watched?

*cringe*

The romance subplot.

*cringe*

#Monsterdon

Ok, but what about the lantern that fell down? Also they left the farmer in there? #Monsterdon

He's been a complete ass to her all this time, so of course she melts at his first pass at her. #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

Awfully mean of him to stick a pitchfork into a baby like that #monsterdon

"I guess I've been a total asshole, so how about a date? "

Dudes move fast in these movies. #monsterdon

"...Over a table for two at a cafe"

BLEUGH D: #Monsterdon

@yatsu noooooooooooo #Monsterdon

"you're worried about what happened today?" wow is she PSYCHIC #monsterdon

Flirting!

#monsterdon

the violins are telling me that this scene will become the basis of their relationship. #monsterdon

@MCDuncanLab I mean... to the dude's credit he did save it for a last resort, but it also didn't work so I suppose it was technically pointless...? #monsterdon

@trixter Oh man, outer space lizard purrito time :D #Monsterdon

well, we kinda strayed from the first contact protocols a little but i think overall things are going well #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe agreed, actually most of this is excellent

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

I have dealt with feral cats and clearly they need to throw a towel over it. #Monsterdon

That monster kinda looks like Paul Sr. #Monsterdon

@MCDuncanLab No such thing in a 50s movie
#Monsterdon

They should put a few slices of prosciutto in that cage and the monster'll go in on his own #monsterdon

That under-lighting on the creature is THE SHIT. Man that's a great shot. #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

Clever girl

#monsterdon

The stop-motion guy-being-attacked is also quite good.

#Monsterdon

Special shout out to the stop motion victim there, that was great :D #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon is this pointless gunplay?

how the military handles important one-of-a-kind space specimens amirite

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

#Monsterdon I've seen the old Steven Irwin shows -- you need to jump into the water and wrassle with it.

God gave him a gift. He shovels. He shovels well. #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

yes, paul, club him upside the head with that shovel. #monsterdon

#monsterdon nobody puts baby (lizard) in the corner!

claymation human! #monsterdon

@Louisa Looks like he's got hurting down pat, though. #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

Shovel time!
#monsterdon

How about a little fire, Venusian?

#monsterdon
#20MillionMilesToEarth

The shadows add a lot of realism. Really neat.

#Monsterdon

Lol, Farmer got his.....

#monsterdon

Did Bob not notice lizard monkey escaped from a steel animal cage? What’s he think that rickety old cart’s gonna do? #Monsterdon

The farmer's not terribly concerned his horses and sheep have all run off #monsterdon

Oh nooo stabby 😥

#Monsterdon

"They're not hostile unless provoked!"
<Begins provoking>
#monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

put more sulphur in the cage, this doesn't seem like rocket science

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

this reminds me of the opening scene of Jurassic Park somehow... #monsterdon

this is like the claymation version of a bat flying into someone's living room
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon This scene was in Alien..

"They're not ferocious unless provoked. Get me a stick so I can provoke it." #Monsterdon

now that's a "grazi" that rivals brad pitt in inglorious basterds #monsterdon

Paul Drake, Venusian Whisperer. #monsterdon

Sulfur is one of the essential minerals every growing child needs. Now present in Trix and Froot Loops. #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

Let's get a wooden cage, the metal bars didn't hold too well

#monsterdon
#20MillionMilesToEarth

their vision is based on motion, everyone knows that #monsterdon

Starting to think the real monster in this film is MAN. Also that dog.

#monsterdon

Some stagehand's just heaving poultry into the scene #monsterdon

#monsterdon Good thing that farmer with the shotgun spoke English.

PAUL, Jesus Christ, don't sneak up on THE GUY WITH THE GUN D:< #Monsterdon

The dog does not die!!
Later, we will see people breathing after "interacting" with the creature.

Soldiers do not fare so well, though.

#Monsterdon
#20MillionMilesToEarth

venusian lifeform has rough reptilian skin, forearms, chitinous hooves/claws, and and long, cylindrical (not flat) tail indicative of two-legged creature counterbalancing while running on land. venusian lifeform also has fins on head, hands, indicative of maneuvering in liquid. #monsterdon

oh no, Carlo! okay, the monster has a lot to answer for rn. #monsterdon

Whatsamattu, why you kill my dog?!?! #monsterdon

waiting for a movie where an alien visits earth and just gets instantly wrecked by a horse #monsterdon

@DinosaurRobo At least Gorgo’s lack of human women spared us this. #Monsterdon

I think Italian Space Godzilla is #Vegan ... interesting... #Monsterdon

@aburka @SRLevine oooh that would make so much sense

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon -- It knows dogs, sheep, horses, and what-not? Wow. Really clever Venusians.

Erf. Sorry Carlo, you kinda brought this on yourself. #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth #TheDogDies

ngl the alien makes the sulphur look tasty #monsterdon

Aw, poor Spot #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Is it normal for a farm to have bales of sulfur laying around?

@clayknight They're intimidated by his pecs #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Nooooo, poor doggo!

Chicken fight! Choose your fighter! 🐓

#Monsterdon

eating sulphur!

man this guy's farts must be _legendary_

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

@clayknight I think this falls under the general theme of humans sucking

#Monsterdon

@SRLevine to be fair I *think* they were asking if it was the same rate of growth as the Venus expedition reported seeing over there #monsterdon
