you can HEAR it! surely you can tell you need a higher frequency?!

#monsterdon

Is this bugging you? Is this bugging you? #monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

Is the guard with the ineffective gun just there as like a safety blanket? Maybe a sense of scale. #Monsterdon #TheBeginningOfTheEnd

Our FMC has inexplicably developed feelings for our MMC. There’s practically no reason why

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

I can be your long lost, , ,

"I'm not worried about a big story" I'm worried about you dying, I'm concerned that with two soldiers here instead it won't happen #Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

"Once the 'hopper blows the gate, run in, grab all the gold you can, and floor it for the state line!"

Up until now, we've been using a filtered signal..

You've been what?

#Monsterdon
#BeginningOfTheEnd1957

"Give me one man to replace Miss Aimes" Well, coming out of the closet, are we?

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

#monsterdon And a fouth one in Gondor!

I heard “pretty please leave before it’s too late?”

#Monsterdon
#BeginningOfTheEnd

Gotta love it when #monsterdon is on and I can immediately tell what movie they’re watching just from the shitposts. 😅

This guy just wanted to dick around with analog synths, and now they're going to nuke Chicago.
#monsterdon

"One on top of the Downtown Hotel, because Chicago only has one."
#beginningoftheend
#monsterdon #grasshoppersvspostcards

They're prepared to unleash the full force of Kate Pierson on these bugs. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

wait!

What's the frequency?

(kenneth?
are you there?)

Try to communicate with the music of AC/DC!!!

#Monsterdon #MaximumBeginningEnd

Captions: "your aircrews to look at the bottom of the designated target."

#monsterdon

"Chicago has been evacuated"

whaaaat?

#Monsterdon

@bunnyhero
Like Good Vibrations?

#monsterdon

in my headcanon there's a glass wall between them and the bars

#monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd #GrasshoppersVsPostcards

I'm not sure the Air Force are the best people to make wibbly science noises #Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

He just said the locusts have emotions. How does that work? #monsterdon

Fade to black and TIME PASSES ... we didn't need to pad the film that much.

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

I feel like screeching, listening to that thing.

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

Is that grasshopper going to pass that lie detector test?

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

"I dont understand"

"Yeah i just strung a bunch of random not words together, ill try again."

#Monsterdon #TheBeginningOfTheEnd

You can't drop an atom bomb on Chicago? Would they even fucking notice? That's like a hard summer weekend for Chicagoans.

"I need an Osci, thing, I can't read this line, an amplifier, and a Gibson guitar. I"m gonna SHRED to lure the locusts into the sea!"

"You four men go that way to die horribly, we'll go down the nice alleyway, maybe find a locust hooker."

I *love* their little guy in the tank. Name him George.

Play some electronica for him!

BERKELEY PSYCOGRAPH

#monsterdon

The giant locust is reaching through the bars. Peter Graves is awfully casual about standing in reach.

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

Ah yes. Galvanic Exoskeletal Response. That's a thing. I'm sure it is.

#monsterdon

SCREECH SCREECH
"that is a lie"
screech 😥

#monsterdon

Galvanic reflexes
Emotional stimulation

Ooh, talk sexy to me!

#Monsterdon
#BeginningOfTheEnd1957

So... they're checking to see if the 'hopper is triggered?

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

Wait are we going to lie detector the grasshopper?

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

@rebeld A pledge pin!? #wrongMovie #monsterdon

#monsterdon #BegiiningOffTheEnd1957

I guess I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue..

waiting for Doogie Howser to show up to torture the giant cricket #monsterdon

Just a few more hours and I'll be right home to you. Oh Beth, what can I do?

#Monsterdon

of course make absolutely zero attempt to evacuate Chicago, yeah

#monsterdon

They're going to polygraph the bug. #Monsterdon

Let's find out if the bug is lying...

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

#Monsterdon 🌽 🌾 🫘 ☢️ 🦗 🦗 🦗 😱

don't put baby in a cage, Peter! Baby's feet, pincers and antennae can easily reach through the bars!

Interesting time for a mid life crisis

#Monsterdon
#BeginningOfTheEnd

That guy must be two semesters from retirement

#Monsterdon

"Look at me now" only three days from retirement #Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

"look at me now"
about to get eaten by a grasshopper? please?

#monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

Oh you engineers, always chasing tenure. #Monsterdon

We've caught a giant grasshopper - which we now can't show you because we didn't have the budget for a life-size prop.

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

@dogwelder who knew his last name was a verb! --lexicalDad #monsterdon

wait so they do have a chemical that stops the buggers? but we're not gonna just fog Chicago with that? #monsterdon

"That whale lady thinks she's so cool, _I've_ got a giant _grasshopper_."

Peek-a-boo! I devour you! #Monsterdon

@rebeld Yes, but they have steel toes.

#RealEstateTransactionCinematicUniverse

#Monsterdon

Are they trying to find giant locusts that are now sneaky for some reason?

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

You know what this needs? An adorable baby locust. 🐣

#monsterdon

The poisons aren't working at all- except when Peter Graves uses them.

#beginningoftheend
#monsterdon #grasshoppersvspostcards

@me Uh... it's two dimensional so it's the line-square law

yeah that makes sense 😛

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd #GrasshoppersVsPostcards

#monsterdon #BegiiningOffTheEnd1957

It's the night Chicago died..

They thought the grasshopper was lurking around the corner?

#Monsterdon
#BeginningOfTheEnd

awww the locust went through that door before they could catch it #Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

It's funny how little is cut from the MST3K version of this

#monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd #GrasshoppersVsPostcards

Is that soldier wearing dress shoes?

#Monsterdon
#BeginningOfTheEnd1957

Bwahhahah, made you look

#monsterdon

Hold it - that looks like a brick wall!

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

Those images of the destroyed town gotta be stock footage, right?

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

@ramsey It ain't #monsterdon if we don't get some real estate into the plot.

we're going to need a bigger jar

#monsterdon

"It's quiet."

"Yeah. Too quiet."

#monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd #GrasshoppersVsPostcards

This is a nice sound stage. #Monsterdon

Hell yeah Oscilloscope stans! #Monsterdon

Just fetching a grasshopper the size of a city bus, no big...

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

this back half has been a perfect middle-ground between maximally satisfying escalation and pointless farting around

well done, movie!

#Monsterdon

@paco “Think of the *property*!”

#Monsterdon

@blogdiva His hair reminds me of my mom’s Ken doll from the 60s. #Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

"I need modular synths and literally a boatload of subwoofers" #Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

"a duck call. You know, for grasshoppers."
#monsterdon

Alright men, stand around me in a circle but leave the space in front of me open.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon We have to destroy the bean to save it

I like they think they need to be stealthy for the giant bugs.

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

And dress the grasshopper nice, sexy like.

#Monsterdon
#BeginningOfTheEnd

Like I said... LET'S SPLIT UP!!! :D

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

"Major, I suggest you send a bunch of guys in random directions so we can be separated from any assistance."

#beginningoftheend
#monsterdon #grasshoppersvspostcards

Heh. They think they'll have Chicago evacuated by morning. How cute.

#monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

It sounds like he’s requesting all the equipment he needs to DJ the most awesome rave from a boat just offshore.

#Monsterdon

You’ve gotta fast boat 🎵🎶 #Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

this move brought to you by the town of Evanston, IL. Evanston: why not nuke Chicago?
#monsterdon

I need an oscilloscope...

Now we're sciencing!

#Monsterdon
#BeginningOfTheEnd1957

#monsterdon #BegiiningOffTheEnd1957

AN oscilloscope, high frequency audio equipment, a live giant grasshopper..
Wait, wut?

Don't they just have tape recorders back then?

You could just record their call and play it back to them...

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

Some hedge clippers... and an ordinary house hold drill. #monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

Get me a boat and an oscilloscope!

#Monsterdon
#BeginningOfTheEnd

Don't forget to ask for cabling - you gotta hook all that stuff up

#monsterdon
#BeginningOfTheEnd

Oh great the plan consists of more screeching. #monsterdon

I can't drive them, not drive, they don't have steering wheels! Now let me think.

#Monsterdon
#BeginningOfTheEnd1957

"...and I need an amplifier that will turn up to 11"
