Thanks @Taweret for hosting and to all the tiny tooting monsterdonians

#Monsterdon

Y'know I'm used to #Monsterdon films ending without a denouement but most of them at least have the kindness to have a RESOLUTION >:\ #Monsterdon

one day i'm gonna stop being surprised by these endings, but today is apparently not that day.

#monsterdon

This movie *really* wanted to be a better movie than it actually was.

#Monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

are they... just gonna leave him there??? is this how the movie is gonna--

#monsterdon

Yeah I think they really over sold the attack part of the puppet people plot.

#Monsterdon

"Doo de doo, well let's just chuck this parcel RIGHT into the room, KICK IT to make sure it's inside, WHOOPS stepped on it, no biggie, doo de doo" #Monsterdon

I hope they get delivered to… YEP!!! Dolls Inc!

@RobynGoodfellow #monsterdon

No, 5:30am is around the time I stopped gaming last night and caught some sleep.

This theater watchman guy is really up in ol' Franz's business.

#Monsterdon

Honestly the movie could have wrapped here with Franz's lament and it would have been excellent.

#monsterdon

Bert I. Gordon definitely has a giant rat kink

#Monsterdon

Bye Bob Bye

#attackofthepuppetpeople #monsterdon

You can see why Jim Henson wanted to break from this tradition....

#Monsterdon

The cat in the matchbox is an “if I fits I sits” meme

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

Looks like the mini crew's gonna get some law enforcement soon

#Monsterdon
#AttackOfThePuppetPeople

Thanks for leaving the child alone with the suspect there, sarge

#Monsterdon

Schrödinger's cat but make it cute

#monsterdon #attackofthepuppetpeople

poor cat is getting all shaken-around in there

#Monsterdon

That is one hundred percent a kitten crawling out of that matchbox, not the full-grown cat that got shrunk down!!

#monsterdon

"Dr Franz, I've looked over your case, and well... I'd like you to have my fedora."

#Monsterdon

awww, we've been cheated of a body explosion!

#Monsterdon

Emil has big Columbo energy

#Monsterdon

this big band jazz music doesn't go with the gravity of the moment

#monsterdon

#monsterdon So he would presumably punish them by putting a mixing bowl over them and smacking the bowl with a wooden spoon…

lol, the puppet master has used up his social battery and it's time for his old friend from the past to leave

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon This is what happens with too much Ozempic.

That’s not how sound works

#attackofthepuppetpeople #monsterdon

"You never have to work or worry. Just have fun."
"I'm 6 inches tall."
#monsterdon

Basically a fancy projector? It's always the AV club kids, isn't it! 🤨

#Monsterdon

Carol from Pluribus was based on Sally

#Monsterdon
#AttackOfThePuppetPeople

I'm confused - what about that whole drawer full of salesman Bobs? Are they all duplicates in suspended animation too?

#Monsterdon

It's so thoughtful of him to make them a cat

#Monsterdon
#AttackOfThePuppetPeople

Yay I love when movies make terrible noises.

#monsterdon

pspspspspspspspspspspsps

#Monsterdon

you really didn't need to explain, it's okay

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Not really seeing the puppet people doing any attacking.

He's making a pretty good argument ngl

#monsterdon

She's going to look like Little Bo Peep (but I imagine that won't be the most traumatic thing about today)

#Monsterdon
#AttackOfThePuppetPeople

30 mins and already 5 ad breaks. Tubi really doesn't want me to watch this. #monsterdon

What the heck, the police officer is just going to leave the woman alone with a man who she accused of a crime??

#monsterdon

"I could have miniature bobs harassing women all across this great nation!"

#Monsterdon

Yup, time to get dolled up, girl. #Monsterdon

It means he disappeared, and it was mysterious.

#monsterdon

These cardboard cutout dolls are serving "Duke Nukem 3D enemies"

#Monsterdon

"My god, he got his ass _perfectly_. What attention to detail."

#monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

VIOLENCE, SWEET VIOLENCE AT LONG LAST! #Monsterdon

I would have Tube Bob in my bathroom so all that he sees is me taking care of business. Forever.

#monsterdon

just now dawning on me that he didn't have a ring

#Monsterdon

I can't tell if she just accepted a proposal for marriage or a coupon for 10% off potatoes.

#Monsterdon

"What do you say we fly to Vegas tomorrow and get married"

"ah well, you know, I couldn't do it without telling my boss"

uh…huh.

#Monsterdon

FUCK OFF BOB!

#Monsterdon

BRICK. BRICK. BRICK. BRICK. BRICK. BRICK. BRICK. BRICK. BRICK. BRICK. #Monsterdon

Amazing Colossal Man seems like a way better movie. #monsterdon

An elevator operator was required until someone invented self-service elevators.

Kind of like gas stations, it was considered too dangerous to allow people to do it.

#monsterdon

"I want to dress my doll like a prostitute"
"Yes, I will enable that"

Men....

#Monsterdon

@xerozohar Hey, mail cops don't fuck around. #Monsterdon

"doll lingerie"

for fucks sake, listen to what you're saying here lads!

#Monsterdon

BRIIIIIICK #Monsterdon

#monsterdon ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES SALLY A MURDERBOT

Can't believe it used to be somebodies job to press the buttons in an elevator....

#Monsterdon

Insane Clown Posse has at least three songs that resemble this scenario.

- House of Wax (about people preserved in wax)
- Bowling Balls (about a man collecting people's heads)
- Ding Ding Doll (about a living undead doll)

#monsterdon

This guy was in Tarantula!

#monsterdon #attackofthepuppetpeople

Dolls Incorporated. they didn’t have budget for a fake brand.

#monsterdon

Ad: "Office girl. Easy work, good pay."

"How much experience do you have?"

Doing _what_? There was no job description! You haven't described any duties!

#monsterdon

creepy old man is creepy. he considers his dolls his friends? creepy.

#monsterdon

Sorry but there are only two kinds of men into dolls like this: homosexuals and perverts.

#monsterdon

Christ, Glasser, stop beating us up with the orchestra @_@ #Monsterdon

Look I'm not going to throw shade at these child actors they're working with what they've got

#monsterdon

unironically she has a really nice smile.

#monsterdon #WrongPuppets

Hey, I just realized that this movie passed the ベクデル Test, when the two ladies were talking about the vampire woman.

#monsterdon #WrongPuppets

"I'm a scientist, but my side-gig is in the UNscientific!"

#monsterdon #WrongPuppets

Ah, a secret lair! Every Western-style house has one!

#monsterdon #WrongPuppets

oh noes this is another "the West is Evil" movie, isn't it?!?

#monsterdon #WrongPuppets

Now that #Monsterdon is over, it's back to checking the obituaries...

Dang. Better luck tomorrow.

@devilgirlbot @aburka Now we just need a Devil Girl Bot Bot #monsterdon

These days, you'd just have to post on fetlife and you'd get a couple dozen volunteers to be your dolls.

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

So what happens to the kitty cat?#Monsterdon

@arrjay idk they were saying something about "reversing the doll ray," maybe the actual function of the couple going to see the giant man movie in the drive-in was to justify why they didn't go up two sizes and become giants and smash his lab and whatnot #monsterdon

@diazona Oh, there was a second named woman?

#monsterdon

@nazokiyoubinbou @Taweret All I recall from 60's prime time tv was Lost in Space, and how it scared me and my sister so much we hid behind the couch, so my parents stopped us watching it.

#monsterdon

I don't know, but I'm guessing Susan Gordon was the little girl.

#monsterdon

“Don’t leave me, I’ll be alone,” he pleads as the world’s tiniest violin begins to play.

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

@_L1vY_ wouldn't it be like 36 miles at that scale? #monsterdon

Six miles in those heels!! No

#Monsterdon

I thought for sure one of them was going to go through the machine to get big, but die #Monsterdon

@nazokiyoubinbou @Taweret Yeah I remember that name, but don't recall seeing much of the series

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe the ending need violence

#Monsterdon

okay, that movie was just close enough to being good that i feel like i have to watch the twilight zone episode now.

#monsterdon

And that literally wraps it for #monsterdon - Attack of the Puppet People!

This movie wasn't bad.

It wasn't good, mind you, but not bad.

#monsterdon #puppetPeople1958 What happened to all the other shrunken people? I counted six, but only two escaped?

the camera fucks off into the middle distance as the movie draws to an end

the movie had its moments, especially when the props department got to flex, but it could have been so much better

see you all next week!

#Monsterdon

That might have been the truly scariest Monsterdon for me so far

#Monsterdon
#AttackOfThePuppetPeople

This is not a place of honor

we considered ourselves a full-sized people

#monsterdon

Oh now he's carrying them just flopping around in that briefcase?

"Damn, pneumatic tubes cost $4000? Y'all can carry me loose" 😂

#Monsterdon

"Come on Sally, we'll call the police."

Yes, I 100% guarantee the police will not arrest you for making a prank call if you call them and tell them an old man is making people into tiny dolls with his totally scientific shrink ray that uses really loud noises to disintegrate people but they don't disintegrate.

#Monsterdon

Did they embiggen the smallest man?

#Monsterdon
#AttackOfThePuppetPeople

What an ineffectual villain....these plastic tubes were the real stars of the movie!

Thank you all for joining! Special thanks to @Taweret for running the joint, @JoeWynne for making the trivia come alive, and @cherizilla for the bingo cards!

See y'all next week another awful fantastic film.... and such a great group to watch it with! :blush:

#monsterdon
