Oh neat, they brought Pinky and The Brain along. Guess we know where the giant crab monsters came from now, huh #Monsterdon

#monsterdon This guy needs to stop getting stranded on islands.

an island covered in hot ashes and radioactive seawater is a great place to spend my month abroad #monsterdon

Let’s go hang around this radioactive place where a bunch of people already disappeared, sounds like an excellent plan! #monsterdon

"I'm no scientist. I'm a technician and a handyman."

Yeah just wait and see what he does with coconuts in 10 years

#Monsterdon

SEA PLANE #monsterdon

"I'm no scientist. I'm a technician and a handyman."

Dude I have a PhD, and SAME

#Monsterdon

(pulling out a smoke) another head cut off, it's not even Wed!
#monsterdon

AHhhhhh, Radioactive. OF COURSE. #Monsterdon

MAN what a coincidence he narrated the entire cast in the order they were walking #monsterdon

RADIATION #monsterdon

#monsterdon They're so casual about a guy being decapitated in seconds.

No wondering how that happened? No curiosity?

"...I'm no scientist, but I was a professor in another life, I mean show"

#Monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters

"I'm no scientist," said the guy who played the Professor in Gilligan's Island. He just faked his doctorate, is the takeaway here?

#Monsterdon

Rocks fall, no one dies #Monsterdon

@Taweret@octodon.social I mean, that guy isn't going to enjoy it here, but I still have my head!

🦀 #Monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters

Careful with that TNT professor. Don't forget what happened to Arzt. #Monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters

they're shaking the camera but nobody's leaning. WHY IS NOBODY LEANING?!

#monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters

*boom boom* the crabs have found the munitions dump? #monsterdon

"im gonna enjoy being here"

didn't a guy just get mysteriously decapitated like five minutes ago?

#monsterdon

Foreshadowing!

#monsterdon

Crab pro tip: make sure you toss the grenade around like Sisko with a baseball #monsterdon #attackofthecrabmonsters

"I dunno what we're gonna use these [grenades] for anyway..."

Me:

#Monsterdon

OMG we have even worse accents this time

#Monsterdon

TRIVIA ATTACK
Look for Seaman Tate who falls out of the boat and gets his head cut off by a giant Crab Monster.

Tate is played by the movie's writer!

#AttackOfTheCrabMonsters #Monsterdon

@Lazarou All monsters are edible. If you try hard enough. #Monsterdon

What a great beginning sequence #monsterdon #attackofthecrabmonsters

we've only seen two minutes of this movie, and already we can feel the lack of abiding life. #monsterdon

The ocean is green. The people are brown and the beach is blue. #Monsterdon

Was he in that big jacket the whole trip? It's a look

#monsterdon

It's #Monsterdon time

WE GOT CRAB SIGN!!! #monsterdon #attackofthecrabmonsters

#MonsterdonAlert

#monsterdon

GO GO GO!!

TIME FOR CRABBE #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

hear me out, attack of the crab monsters rebooted as an asymmetrical multiplayer horror video game. you can play as a human trying to survive on the island or as a crab trying to destroy the island

@cheribaker How did no one make THAT movie!? #Monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters

we need to do Matango again at some point. its been at least a year or so

#monsterdon

I have to imagine that if you look over the last couple hours of #Monsterdon and count the number of toots that would look utterly bizarre and confusing if taken out of context, this must be pretty high up there compared to other weeks.

For those of you scrolling through your timeline, you're about to hit a big mass of Monsterdon postings about Attack of the Crab Monsters.

Should you not wish to read through them, here's how to filter them out, at least on the web browser:
1) right click on the gears & open in a new tab
2) choose "Filters" then "Add New Filter"
3) give the filter a title, check all boxes under contexts, choose hide completely and put "#Monsterdon" in the keyword box.
4) Click on "Save New Filter"

... and you're done.

@RobynGoodfellow @cheribaker What, going for your own pirate monkey award?

#monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters

@cheribaker Finger food. If you will. #Monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters

I've got a couple of Skyrim playthroughs in progress and swear to Divines, next time I get to the end of the Fishing questline I'm gonna be thinking of Attack of the Crab Monsters when THIS thing shows up:

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Emperor_Crab_Guardian_Spirit

THANKS, CORMAN!

#Monsterdon #Skyrim

OK. That was fun. it will be more fun next time when I can find a better source. but I will do it again :-)

good night #monsterdon
#AttackOfTheCrabMonsters

@bucioluis_ @Mastodon It's a weekly event where a bunch of us watch an old monster movie in sync and post about it. Someone will probably chime in with a link to a more complete explanation - I know there are a few floating around.

#Monsterdon

@sean Never too late for the pirate monkey. :-) #Monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters

@DancinJules One of these days we should get ourselves an unofficial official #Monsterdon plushie

#Monsterdon Well, that’s an hour we’ll never claw back.

Spooky music: C+
Aquarium diving: B+
Plot: 404 Plot Not Found
Dialogue: D-
Gloating Monster: 🦀 🦀🦀🦀
Giant Very Wrong Looking Crab: A-

@diazona I have wanted SO many plushies after these movies! #monsterdon

@splott i watched on tubi, which gave me a preroll ad and then nothing else till the end. whenever i watch something on plex there are like 4x the ads i get on tubi #monsterdon

Never mind, turns out these weren't "warn the cast about the rest of the plot" scientists. They were "explain what just happened with meaningless technobabble" scientists. #monsterdon

@wohali
Next week for a couple of months. That's 6 years in #Monsterdon time.

@cheribaker @Taweret

@CactuarJoe apparently it would only take the crabs like five minutes? #monsterdon #crabfacts

TEH FUQ?
Wow that movie did just stop mid sentence. Didn't even get a chance to fuck off into the sea.
#Monsterdon #AttackoftheCrabMonsters

@splott I downloaded it from the Internet Archive. Most of our movies are available there, and someone will usually post a link mid-week.

#Monsterdon

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting tonight's flick. Somehow I'd missed this gem growing up.

#Monsterdon

@peter_mcmahan oh that wasn't nothing, that was SO MUCH BATSHITTERY holy gods

#monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters

Ok so the plot may have been nonsensical, but Roger Corman built a film out of essentially nothing, so there's that?
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Hank actually survived that attack on the giant crab to secretly become a Professor before being marooned with some idiots on YET ANOTHER ISLAND!!!
#AttackOfTheCrabMonsters

You know what I need now... A giant negatively charged crab plushie

This was definitely something. Thanks for hosting @Taweret

#Monsterdon

This is why you don't let giant monsters that think they are a god talk much if ever. They come off as chatty self centered cartoonish lunatics. The goofy accents aren't helping any either.
#Monsterdon #AttackoftheCrabMonsters

fun hour! :) bye everyone #monsterdon

@trixter something something communist metaphor

#monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters

Thanks again to @Taweret and everyone participating for another fun and enriching #monsterdon

thanks all again for another fun #monsterdon and to @Taweret for organizing!

Was she with him or Hank or with the crab in college? #monsterdon

Does the crab have a mustache?
#Monsterdon #AttackoftheCrabMonsters

#Monsterdon. Wait. What?

It’s been fun, monster friends! Hopefully see you again next week! #monsterdon

Did they...start making out after the dude died?

#monsterdon
#AttackOfTheCrabMonsters

that movie heard of denouement once, but didn't hold any truck with the idea. #monsterdon

Why were only some of the minds consumed by the crabs manifested after death? Did only the minds of college trained people with foreign accents make the transition? Was it too much for the weak minds of tradies and enlisted men? #monsterdon #crabrave

Well that was a lot of fun, need to remember to do this more often. #monsterdon

@Taweret it all happened so fast they had to say "he gave his life" because i barely saw what just happened #Monsterdon

Welp, so much for THAT threesome happening… #monsterdon

@trixter they'd've probably filmed it underwater, knowing this film. #monsterdon

That movie was a seafood delivery truck doing 90 miles an hour in to a brick wall of THE END! Hard to riff with scenes flying by like so many roadside attractions. Thanks again everyone! And thanks once again @Taweret for hosting! #Monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters

@amyfou To be fair the pregnant giant crab is projecting a male voice

🥴

#Monsterdon

Also, I register my objection to how much sea there was there, and how little fucking off into.

#Monsterdon

Well, that ending was ... abrupt. And the two survivors are barely wait for the cameras to leave before celebrating their survival.

#Monsterdon

"He gave his lif—"
"I know."

Maybe it's the adrenaline talking, but let's do it on the beach

#Monsterdon

The writer must think Ishiro Honda movies waste too much time on denouement.

#Monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters

@trixter Nope, gotta save room for the underwater sequences! #Monsterdon

That was fun. Have a good week, everyone #monsterdon

Weren't there giant worms at one point? I wonder what happened to the worms

#Monsterdon

So giant ephemeral crabs created by nuclear fallout unearth new sources of petroleum ... there has to be a driving metaphor I'm missing here.
#monsterdon

That's alllll the movie there is!

#monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters

Wait, when did it end? I blanked out for a moment thinking about grenades and the movie was over. #monsterdon

Man, there's abrupt endings and then there's "Okay the monster died literally in the last frame of the film" :/ #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "I know..." That's it? That's the end? Hank's just gone? Wow.

WOW. That was BRACING.

Also, I'm concerned about how much our final couple looked like they were ready to snog right there at the end as soon as Hank electrocuted the crab.

#Monsterdon

Grenades can't destroy papier maché, youall #monsterdon #attackofthecrabmonsters

@Taweret best summary possible. well done!

#monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters

Crab got electrocuted. SAD FACE. The end.

#monsterdon

The crabs will be back #monsterdon

Wow! Fastest ending ever!

#Monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters

ermmmmm #monsterdon

He gave his life
I know
That's all folks!!!
#monsterdon

wow

that was

_wow_

#monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters

Oof, man, crab has nasal polyps D: #Monsterdon

@apLundell@octodon.social Yep! Dr Crab Devereux said so.
