"You know what's wrong with you my friend?"

Capitalism? #monsterdon

This Puppet Master prequel is kinda dull. Just like a Full Moon production.
#Monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

lol, puppets are inherently funny and creepy at the same time, they are like clowns, but with the humour!

#Monsterdon

Who’d a thunk it, a slightly crazed marionette owner, AKA Franz.
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🎎🎎🎎👨‍🔬💑👮😱
#PuppetPeople1958

Ah so they WILL respect the doll/puppet divide apparently!

From Each According To Their Strings, To Each According To Their Plastics

#monsterdon

please decide if you're doing an accent or not

#PuppetPeople1958

that man just picked up that doll and looked up her skirt

Ah yes, his old friend Lenin

#monsterdon

I suspect that Dollar Store Vladimir Lenin is going to end up shrunkinated

#Monsterdon

Meanwhile at the Yul Brynner doll factory. #Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

@nazokiyoubinbou #monsterdon

bc pervy dollmaker said he'd give it to the lady when she dropped by in a couple days.

She put that together very quickly.

#Monsterdon

that's a great sinister mailbag

#MonsterDon

And this is why you invest in a cross-cut shredder

#Monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

Columbo is gonna talk to the mailman and this shrink-wrapping kidnapper of a doll maker is over...

'Goodbye, cya later.... Oh, just one more question'

#Monsterdon

OH NO!!!

It's a letter!!!

...

Why is this scary?

#Monsterdon

whelp I guess we know what she's gonna be wearing

#monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

@klu9 lol, "our glorious Future" #Monsterdon

I don't know here new address, I haven't built that playset yet...
#Monsterdon

@jonny Doll guy secretly has mafia ties. They think he's mild-mannered, but actually he's running a protection racket out of the back.

#Monsterdon

Mail sack or MALE sack?! #monsterdon

#monsterdon "No, I'm not afraid of him..."

Seriously, not afraid of this guy? They didn't make red flag detectors in the '50's did they?

@Lazarou

Can't wait until AI saves us the trouble of pressing the buttons!

#Monsterdon

This guy walks too close

#Monsterdon

Third floor! Shoes, naked feet, general fetishes!

Fourth floor! Weird shit involving appliances and gourds!

Fifth floor! Electricity!

Sixth floor!

#monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

okay, the elevator scene can stay though, that was good filmmaking, especially for like 1912.

#monsterdon

i don't think i've ever been in an elevator that had an operator

#monsterdon

How big is that elevator? They are exceeding capacity.
#Monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

#monsterdon

I love a good elevator scene..

I hope bob gets shrunk, and then gets used by a cat as a sexual aid

#Monsterdon

You can always introduce yourself as the best salesman in St. Louis #LifeProtips #Monsterdon

I'm having fun imagining the costume designer who had to make tiny versions of the adult costumes and how delightful and maddening this probably was

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

People who say "let's start over" are telling you all you need to know #monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

@allanb

Involving a 7-inch tube?

#Monsterdon

She went from "I have no idea what I'm doing" to "I need the cash ledger right now."

#monsterdon

"So what happened to the last girl who worked here?"

"Uh... *hides realistic doll that looks just like the last girl who worked there."

#Monsterdon #AttackofthePuppetPeople

@Lazarou 😱#Monsterdon

This movie was remade years later as #SmallSoldiers.

(☝️ Pretty sure that's not true)

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

fuck off bob westly

#Monsterdon

Skills: can type at 60 WPM with few errors

#Monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

Seriously Glasser, stop hitting me. I'm getting a stick. #Monsterdon

I am an important person - look at the four tie tacks in my tie.

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

That has to be the creepiest set of job interview questions possible.

(well I can think of others, but you know, as creepy but not quite "things that would be asked that weren't overt sexual harassment short of asking your blood type")

#Monsterdon

She really ought to listen to those alarm bells -- creepy guy who loves dolls and begs you to work for him and all that -- but this is the story of the one who didn't listen.

#Monsterdon

I guess we missed the tour of the factory floor

#monsterdon
#AttackOfThePuppetPeople

Just answer the phones while I'm getting this roomy labcoat refitted

#Monsterdon

"My dolls showcase all different types of women. A bride, a housewife, and a nurse. See, all three types of woman!"

#Monsterdon #Oh50sYou

He's offering a "competitive salary", so another red flag.

#Monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

I'll take it in the back room. Ignore any noises you here through the door. #monsterdon

General Office Girl Wanted. Easy work, good pay. Dolls Inc.

This doesn't sound as innocent in 2025 as it apparently did in 1956.

#monsterdon

The lady's instincts were right, she should run

#Monsterdon

You're on your own? You're perfect for disappearing.

#monsterdon

The doll factory is on the 6th floor of a 6 floor building? #monsterdon

Wile E. Coyote! You see that?

#monsterdon

AHH!

IT'S THE COOKIE MAFIA!

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

The movie is starting with Girl Scouts

Not sure if that’s more or less terrifying

GO GO GO GO GO!!!!!!!!!!!

C'mon in here, Sensei's gonna give ya a SHOT

#monsterdon #WrongPuppets

That was a very abrupt end to a love confession.

#Monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars

@nazokiyoubinbou I know, the show is actually kind of a piece of shit. It relied entirely on this unresolved conflict between inexplicably weenified good and inexplicably persistent evil, rinse and repeat, every episode, same characters ...

Fast-forward to the end to see if the script writers ever resolved the problem, but nope, probably not. Series probably just died with no denouement

#monsterdon

"It's got to be a high velocity missile." Yes, ignore the evidence in front of your face. It's scientific.

#Monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars

Lady you can break that glass, even if Igor IS downstairs...

#monsterdon #WrongPuppets

"Yes, I will kill again."

#monsterdon #WrongPuppets

Mike here deserves a nice punch to the face, ĉu ne?

#Monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars

Jamie is far too into hospitality for the hospitality industry.

#Monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars

"Maybe somebody's come to buy a drink." Can't exactly buy food with traded labor, can you?

#Monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars

Need to go watch a good movie to forget about that malarky #monsterdon

@ohiofi #monsterdon #WrongPuppets

Mother just seems heavily sedated.

@jonny I give it a 3/7. I'm not lowering the score, I'm raising the bar.

#monsterdon #attackofthepuppetpeople

@jonny @arrjay If they went up two sizes they'd be naked giants and that would not work for another 25 years #monsterdon

(Gazes longingly at door)

#monsterdon #WrongPuppets

Very Twilight Zone-y. So, poignant rather than gory. If abusive captors can be poignant. And the science was hooey. But overall, it was ominous and amusing. Thanks @Taweret, @Cherizilla and @JoeWynne for another fun #Monsterdon.

@Terencio "what did we do? .......oh yes, all that."

#Monsterdon

Next week we should watch War of the Colossal Beast

#Monsterdon

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.

I mean, she's probably also grieving....

#monsterdon #WrongPuppets

I don't think Gen-san's backpack was gonna fit in that car.

#monsterdon #WrongPuppets

@ryan I just edited all my posts to remove the mention, but I'm so sorry for dinging you on each of my posts. That happened because I kept responding to the same thread, and I happened to mention you in an early post, and my client (Mona) wasn't showing very well that I was mentioning you in responses.

#Monsterdon

imagine the cia getting ahold of this thing tho'

you got tiny khrushchev running around in a bottle city with tiny castro shaking tiny missiles before the soviets catch up and unleash Giant Brezhnev on American forces in South Vietnam

#monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

@bstacey

Looking at your profile now, I see them. Can't say if I noticed them during the full-on firehose of #Monsterdon

@neia @paco Oh I didn't remember her appearing as a full-size person at all, whoops

#Monsterdon

Oh, shit. Did I really mention @ryan in all my posts?! So sorry!

#Monsterdon

Huh. Did none of my posts from tonight's #Monsterdon federate?
