so this is gonna be an expanded twilight zone episode featuring the dude from the twilight zone? i'm in.

#monsterdon

Yep she gets dollified. #monsterdon

Is this a doll job instead of a ghost job?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

Young Lady, do you like my dolls? Do you like TOUCHING them?

Who wouldn't want "easy work for good pay"?

#monsterdon
#AttackOfThePuppetPeople

Don't touch THOSE dolls, kids, the man is very particular about those

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

Easy work, good pay.

Uh, hunh.

#Monsterdon

Back when even young women had shrill Barbara Bush voices

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon This ad is just dripping with equal opportunity.

"Oh really, you must meet some of them.

"Do you like my wire rack?" #mst3k

#monsterdon

I'm only qualified for Sergeant Office Girl :/ #monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

You can look, but don't touch the paper cut-touts in the tubes.

#monsterdon

Brownies! Good to know they always had the hats.

#monsterdon

General Office Girl wanted.

Must like frilly knickers and dainty sandwiches and the color pink.

#monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

Mr. Franz is very handy ... with the employees.

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

"I'm sure the girls would like to see the doll exhibit while they're waiting"
"thank you!"
Bechdel test possibility? #monsterdon

Don't touch these cheap paper cut outs kids. If they get knocked over the effect will be too obvious.

I admit I was kinda hoping to be able to check off 'someone gets punched' during the Brownie's scene

Hey, just shrinking people and putting them in glass jars is cheating! Where are the REAL puppets? :blobglare: #Monsterdon

🎶525,600 minutes

#Monsterdon

Hey! My mom had a collection of Madame Alexander dolls like that for me.

#Monsterdon

Easy work, good pay?
No way!
What's the catch?

#Monsterdon

The End! Well that was quick. #Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

so, is Perry Mason's office in this building, do you think?

#monsterdon

reaction time is like zero to 60 in 52.3 seconds

#monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

“Look but don’t touch!”

#Monsterdon

I have a sudden craving for Thin Mints. Anyone else? #Monsterdon

the year was 1958, and girl scout cookies were a mere 12 dollars a box

    🤏 ATTACK OF THE TRIVIA ⁉️

Bert I. Gordon

✅ Producer
✅ Writer
✅ Director

Trifecta of mediocrity

#AttackOfThePuppetPeople

Those dolls are very clearly photographs on the insides of tubes! Oh come ON...

#monsterdon

This is a concerningly large group of children for a Monsterdon film.

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

Prediction: I, and not I alone, would have found a long, slow, pan over all those then-current magazine-covers on the news-stand to be of more interest than the actual film.

#monsterdon
#AttackofthePuppetPeople

Suddenly have a craving for thin mint cookies.

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

So, this is like a live action Yamyalak's wall, yeah?

#Monsterdon

This movie played a role in the Watergate scandal.

#monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

The puppet people are .....bigger than....oh. Those are children.

STOP TOYING WITH ME, MOVIE!

#monsterdon #attackofthepuppetpeople

I wonder what they make at Dolls Inc?
#Monsterdon

I'm not ready. Thankfully 1950s #monsterdon will have a nice 120 seconds of intro credits.

Sixth floor, plot exposition and ugly hats

#monsterdon

High school??? Lol #monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

"Dolls, Incorporated" is _clearly_ a stripper talent agency

#monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

I wish modern elevators had those old fashioned dials indicating what floor they were on #monsterdon

Remember, folks, size doesn't matter... except to Bert I. Gordon!

#Monsterdon

BROWNIE TROOP

So someone saw that one scene in Bride of Frankenstein and decided to make a movie about just Doctor Pretorius being a weirdo?
#Monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

#Monsterdon root post. Typing from phone. Expect the unexpected, spelling-wise

That man just bought things with coins. Already unbelievable.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon So we’ll circle back to the whole tube thing, right?

Mr. Fran??

#monsterdon

I like to get small.

#Monsterdon

Time for #monsterdon! This week is Attack of the Puppet People (1958). Bert I Gordon apparently had quite the career in making things look different sizes (usually insects)

Starring John Hoyt? Gimme a Break! #Monsterdon

If I suddenly stop tooting either Sickos is down again or I'm too bored by #monsterdon

First #monsterdon in a while, this one looks like it could be pretty entertaining

It's like a box set of tiny Plur1bi

#monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

More like Attack of the Pneumatic Tube People!

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

Doctor John Agar was the name of the real monster.
#Monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

Lush and dramatic opening music—you’re my living doll? #Monsterdon

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

are we going to have to discuss the difference between 'dolls' and 'puppets' tonight?

Bert I. Gordon, here we come.

#Monsterdon

Hey Bert!

#monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

Just in time for X-Mas! Collect the whole set! #Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

Tubi, people in tubes, close enough

#Monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

Dramatic music to start.
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon right out the gate, remember kids AI = bad! Also: Honey I shrunk the film budget amirite

Bert I. Gordon is his literal birth name, movies about outlandish differences in size is his game

#monsterdon

Who's super excited about this one! Meee!!! #Monsterdon #AttackofthePuppetPeople

The horrifying origin story of Polly Pocket!

#monsterdon #attackofthepuppetpeople

Here we go!
#monsterdon

Off to a confusing start with "American International"

#monsterdon

Did you ever wish energy drinks came with little people inside of them? #monsterdon

Starring: Too many people who's names start with "J"

#monsterdon

People in tubes #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon is rolling. Miniaturized people captive by a ghoulish scientist. Sounds legit for Monsterdon

Now presenting: the Barbie movie (1958)
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon American International Consolidated Limited A division of continent pictures!

Z. Arkoff

…

Zarkoff? Shit, now I wanna watch Flash Gordon…

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

Wow, the orchestra hitting the overture strong right out of the gate

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

John Agar!

It’s time for…

#monsterdon

Breaking out the new projector screen for #monsterdon tonight!

Oh yes Monsterdon time. I'm not to late. Boy go boy the fattest goose!
#Monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

A I P presents A P P!

Starring John Agar - more or less exciting than a petri dish of agar?? Let's find out

#monsterdon

I really wanna "wrong Monsterdon" tonight and watch PuppetMasters instead, but here we go!

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

(dramatic music)

#monsterdon
