you're 1/6th scale models of humans, and you took a taxi to the theater. You've got a lot of walking ahead of you.

"It's 5:30 in the morning. Most people are in bed now." Boy I wish. #Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

Honestly, this is why you should ALWAYS treat stage hands with respect

#Monsterdon

What's with the dark outline on the rat? #monsterdon

heheeeeee rat actor hi beautiful

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

Master of puppets is pulling the strings!!

JFC. He actually seems to be getting crazier. #monsterdon

Now he's gonna have to shrink the Sergeant AND Emil.

#Monsterdon

actually neat bit right here, and pretty well done - i like this

#monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

You know, I honestly thought that the puppet guy had shrunk Franz’s wife Emma and turned her into a marionette, and we were going to discover that when we got to the theater

#Monsterdon

imagine if this guy had simply written fanfic about dr jeckel instead. this entire terrible movie could have been avoided.

#monsterdon

Ah, the pills for sleeping are a dual purpose plot point!

#monsterdon

".............you alright, Mr. Franz?"

Absolutely the top comment made at that guy throughout his life

#Monsterdon

I can't imagine why people would come to a theater to watch a marionette show. What the fuck would you see?

#monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

I like my women like I like my coffee: tiny in a can full of soapy water.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon This is a pretty small puppet show.

It must be a tiny theater.

a theater is full of tons of places where a doll sized person could hide out and wait out the murder suicide #monsterdon

Why don't they split up and run? They could spread out and hide pretty easily, he can't chase them all
#monsterdon

These doll people aren't big on initiative #monsterdon

don't they already know "what the city sounds like at night" #monsterdon

There's no way they survived the trip.

#Monsterdon

Doesn't the kitty get to come to the murder-suicide party?

#monsterdon
#AttackOfThePuppetPeople

Coffeeeeeeee!

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

Help, send police, I am trapped in a Mastodon server

#Monsterdon

Cut to them in the suitcase lol

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

#monsterdon what a fucking narcissist. he wants to kill himself and so everybody else needs to die too.

Miniature chocolate. How quaint.
Now destroy a miniature chocolate city.
#Monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

Oh, it's spanking too now, is it 🤨

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

This movie is an extended metaphor about feeling small and lonely in an indifferent 1950's America.

See, it's a horror movie, but it's also just a movie about a sad, lonely old man.

Who is also a mad scientist.

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

wow okay mass-murder suicide

#monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

#monsterdon I was hoping this movie would be about a mad scientist exercising tyrannical control over the people he'd shrunk, but it's more like a farce where he tries to stop an endless stream of unwanted visitors from finding out he shrunk people

I do kind of want to get tubes like that and put cutouts of people in them

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

in Schrödinger's Box the cat is neither alive nor dead and possibly quite tiny #Monsterdon

🤏 ATTACK OF THE TRIVIA ⁉️

Imagine being in the theater in 1958 when American International Pictures released our film as a double feature with War of the Colossal Beast (1958).

That's a date with highs and lows.

#AttackOfThePuppetPeople

@ottaross nope, she drove her Studabaker. Parking was murder!
#monsterdon

Thank goodness for this garrulous friend

#Monsterdon

So the kid just took the subway downtown and popped into the Dolls Inc office?

#Monsterdon

that poor cat is concussed toothpaste

#monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

Does Franz only have a single friend?

#monsterdon

I am skeptical he's been feeding tiny cat #monsterdon

Never make a tiny kitty you don't intend to have escape on you. Cats are liquid.
#Monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

suddenly i want a normal-cat-sized cat bed in the shape of a matchbox.

#monsterdon

Cat's out of the bag.. er.. matchbox. #Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

got caught up ^_^

#monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958 #bingo

kitty!

#Monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

"It's my fortress of solitude....I masturbate in there..."

#Monsterdon

OK, the cat in the match box is fantastic. Even if they ran the film backwards there for a bit.

#monsterdon

Odds are this little girl isn't prepared to pay for the repairs #monsterdon

"She got run over"
"How did that happen?"
"Well, I put her in the street so I could film her being run over and post it on the newsreels for clout."

#monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

Yeah, well turnover does become a bit of a problem when you start shrinking down your employees...

🪢 The actor climbing up the rope on the door said it was exhausting because that rope, for some reason, was made of rubber and stretched.

🦇 They had not developed the technology used in the Batman TV series later where they just walked horizontally holding a rope and turned the camera sideways.

#AttackOfThePuppetPeople

Dripping molten plastic all over my hands

#attackofthepuppetpeople #monsterdon

I wonder what those brownies are up to

#monsterdon

Bingo!

I'm calling that rationalization of their captivity a Dark Place.

#Monsterdon

He's here to apply as girl.

#monsterdon #attackofthepuppetpeople

Is this going to turn into The Fly? I see one flying around the job poster.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

Hey genius, wait until he opens the door and run out the door.

My mom had a good friend like that. Would talk her ear off foreeeever #monsterdon

More! Theremin! Time!

To be fair, the sets are pretty good. #monsterdon

I still trying to figure out if this is sci-fi or not

#monsterdon

Man what a knob.

Impressed by their rope climbing and shimmying though

Watch John Agar, playing Bob, pull his back out when he climbs down the table and slips. He could barely move the following day and they brought in a masseuse.

#AttackOfThePuppetPeople

Honestly impressive lasso skills.

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

@Lazarou But will he die normal-sized and naked? #monsterdon

#monsterdon I wonder if he doses them with helium, do their little voices get even higher?

That military uniform sure looks an awful lot like a red shirt #Monsterdon

Mr. Franz: The process is simple. Remember Mike TV from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?

#monsterdon #attackofthepuppetpeople

Reverse the polarity!

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

If a minor character steps into the ray first they will die....

so that one little person can sing at like 12x volume but all the other littles together can't be heard on the phone?

@Zerofactorial

999 had, tho

#monsterdon

I just can’t get past the fact this guy was the Martian in that one Twilight Zone episode and the doctor in the Star Trek pilot #Monsterdon

Does anyone know the number for 911? #Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

(yes I know that was later)

#monsterdon #puppetPeople1958 Mozura-ya! Mozura!

Ah, now they have a chance to organize a resistance!

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou Right?
Bob is the shittiest person, but these puppet people are aggressively positive.
#Monsterdon

Why put this in your movie?

#attackofthepuppetpeople #monsterdon

wow okay franz is really rubbing it in now damn
#monsterdon

Accept fascism and they'll have you singing a song about your oppression and how you love it...

#Monsterdon

see

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

Sing or I put you back in the bottle. Nice.

Oh, suddenly the movie is a variety show.

#monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

Oh yeah, the song adds a whole new layer of wrong to this situation.

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

Dude can convert matter into energy, and he hasn't thought of how effective a means of power this is? He could become the leader of the world just by harnessing this method of energy production.

#monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

He just picks this stuff up on airplanes.

I wouldn't mind being shrunk down like this - would work wonders for my grocery bill #monsterdon

lol, did that girl just make and argument for Fascism?

#Monsterdon

None of those things are the same scale. This movie is bullshit!

#Monsterdon

ah yes, because the important thing when you're 6 inches tall is that your marriage be valid in the eyes of the church.

#monsterdon

Did this madman invent teleportation and then run it through a magnifying glass??!

This is a very fucked up movie.
