Another day, another mad scientist sacrificing people on his alter of science.

The aging process could be arrested... you could stay at your glorious age of 26 for the rest of your life!

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

Nap time.

#Monsterdon #TheUnearthly

Judging by the previous movie, all of the people at the breakfast table are like 29 years old.

#monsterdon

"I don't wanna talk to that lady"

Uhhhh... you were already talking to her?

@davesdogmaggie @cptbutton
Y'all been sleepin' on this movie!

#Monsterdon

I happen to BE a doctor of mad science. I'm completely in control of my faculties.

#Monsterdon

Audrey, quit distracting that very busy looking male scientist with that fabulous Power Girl looking blouse!

#Monsterdon #TheBeginningOfTheEnd

I wonder if that's lobo as in "wolf", or as in short for "lobotomy"?

#Monsterdon #TheUnearthly

@diazona don't worry, it'll die down by half! #monsterdon

Oh good, more radiation ✨️ magic ✨️

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

The asistants name is... LOBO??!?!

#Monsterdon #TheUnearthly

This man is the finest doctor in the field. He'll sort out your wandering uterus in no time.

Creepy & Creepier

#Monsterdon

Those incisions don't look like they're doing that well.

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

And his eyebrows grew like locusts from the last film!

#Monsterdon #TheUnearthly

Already a couple of creepy dudes!

#monsterdon #TheUnearthly

Apparently that was a movie, I missed it. #Monsterdon

I like that they were even using the coincidental likenesses of this claimer in the credits even back then. #Monsterdon #TheUnearthly1957

Disappointed there was no “THE END

OF THE BEGINNING

OF THE END?”

#Monsterdon

@techlifeweb Of course! Just about to start streaming on https://miru.miyaku.media

I'm calling that just the right amount of better than average for #Monsterdon. 10/10 no notes.

Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everybody for posting! On to the double feature!

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd #GrasshoppersVsPostcards

And so the locusts fucked off into Lake Michigan after visiting Navy Pier, like the tourists they were.

I just really wanna thank everyone for watching Bert I Gordon's best movie with me tonight. That was a blast. Y'all are awesome.

Take care of each other. Be kind, spread love, ketchup on hot dogs is only okay if you're under the age of 8.

Much love. Goodnight, fam.

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

Is there a double feature?
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Well, that was another quick ending. But then the opening title covered it I guess.

That was a proper 50s monster movie, for me. I give it 5 giant bugs! 🦗 🦗 🦗 🦗 🦗

(Crickets will have to do -- no grasshopper emojis).

did the photojournalist even take a single picture of a locust? with all those flashbulbs?? (maybe when i got up for a minute?)
#monsterdon

I tried the “Monsterdon MEGA CARD” for bingo.

I did NOT get a bingo.

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

I feel like most of our movies the producer just like, stiffed the writer before finishing the last few pages of the script and said “fuck it, I can write an ending.”

#Monsterdon

‘Twas the amplified sound of a horned up grasshopper killed the beast

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

@bunnyhero they never tried fir... nuthin! #monsterdon

@crowbriarhexe apparently.

#Monsterdon #BeginningoftheEnd 💥🔫🚓🎥

and with that, it's over. This has been a watch thread for 1957's "The Beginning of the End", aka "Are You Sure We Can't Nuke Chicago, For Funsies?"
#monsterdon

Don't cry for all the dead locusts, girl who used to be a photographer but lost her personality 50% of the way thru the movie. I'm told by this one dead guy there's good eatin' on 'em.

This actually started slow, then got good, then became procedural Berti Gordon crap. Still, ★★½☆☆ I didn't hate anything.

RIP Frank, that one military guy, and all the cute locusts.

#monsterdon #beginningOfTheEnd

I went and took a shower through part of the movie, which I have only ever done one other time in the entire time I've been watching #Monsterdon

Hubs asked "Real Stinker of a movie, huh?"

"Gimme a sec." I walk back, grab my iPad, and bring it out, still playing the movie... still playing that sensory nightmare sound.

Hubs: "That's... that sure is a movie."

TIME FOR THE DOUBLE-FEATURE!!!! #Monsterdon

welp, guess we have to drown the props now.
#monsterdon

#monsterdon any final words? No? Ok fine

Hey, the THE END screen was missing a question mark!

#Monsterdon
#BeginningOfTheEnd1957

#Monsterdon

Thank you Monsterdon

Good Thymes

Little do they know, all they did was create a giant mutant species of carp

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Cool, now set the river on fire so you'll know you got them, that's a thing you can do there, right? I kid bc I love. What, too soon?

OR IS IT!?

Oh. Oh. It is.

#Monsterdon
#BeginningOfTheEnd

Welp, that certainly was a movie. #Monsterdon

This will affect the fish population
#monsterdon

hashtag mutual aid intermission time #Monsterdon

And they fucked off into the sea
Thank you for a fun time #monsterdon

The locusts have all fucked off into Lake Michigan, and Peter Graves gets the girl. THE END

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

and they all fucked off into the sea! #monsterdon

What flooded as a result of that water displacement? How is it over? I have questions. #Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

That is so clearly just a photo of the building #Monsterdon

It means were free!

-fin

#Monsterdon #TheBeginningOfTheEnd

Why does she need comforted? Just because there was an irritating noise for a couple of hours? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon There, now your forehead smells like Old Spice.

Oh wait, does this mean Chicago is not gonna get nicked after all?

#Monsterdon #TheBeginningOfTheEnd

#Monsterdon

I guess this whole plan relied on giant locusts not being able to swim...?

"Head for shore" we'll have to get out of the boat and walk there over all the locust carcasses #Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

Is it just me, or is it getting a little warm in here...

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

Those trees look awfully full for having locusts wander through them.

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

I hope there were no grasshoppers harmed in the making of this film.

#Monsterdon

Good thing they never discovered that they could fly...

#Monsterdon

Oh this is a beach party for the big buggers.
#Monsterdon #BeginningoftheEnd

"Bugs! Bugs, Mister Rico. Zillions of them!" #Monsterdon

@moira It's a THK production?! #monsterdon

I like how the boat was like "you can't start yet, we have to be ready at a moment's notice" and then Ed was like "ok now" and he's like "nah we'll wait" #monsterdon

The locusts are active on the south side of Chicago!

It's hard to make the locusts menacing when the only shots are of them being cute little guys crawling over each other, probably in a terrarium.

♫ Here we come, walkin' down the street, get the funniest looks from, everyone we meet! Hey hey we're the Locusts! ♫

Is the general gonna do anything but stand on this boat?

Observation post Mannequin, ready for scooter ride with Kim Cattrall!

#monsterdon #beginningOfTheEnd

Guess I should have specified a slightly roomy boat

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

Ok Audrey
Yes Seymour!

#Monsterdon
#BeginningOfTheEnd1957

"I want to make a monster movie. I don't have money but I have a whole bunch of these grasshoppers."
#monsterdon

everyone on the boat is now deaf

#monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd #GrasshoppersVsPostcards

That army man is standing on the back of that boat like its the ledge of a Chicago skyscraper
