#monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain anyway, in this movie we learn how quickly cops can get easy access to stupid shit, in that the Jed guy has talked the airforce into using planes with geiger counters to pinpoint where the radioactive zombies are coming from.
"Because I'm gay as French parade and it's the 50s, honey."
lol @ the lobotomised man giving us his serious face
#monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain Because the Mob Guy killed in the beginning was carrying a Yak-Bak when he died, the other cops got a sample of the zoom zombie's robot voice. Sadly, their conference is interrupted by news of McGraw's death, for which they scramble to the murder garage to investigate.
Not having invented the tricorder yet, we use a geiger counter to confirm that the murder garage is radioactive. We find out the prints of murderer were from another dead guy.
@allanb so many hats in this movie, but they're all the same hats #monsterdon
@brooke not gonna lye #Monsterdon
@flowerpot lol, I'm going with it! #monsterdon
Both guys there doing the leg on the table "Cdmr Riker Pose" to assert dominance #monsterdon
once again I note the abundance of white men in these movies
The horror - that guy totally trashed the shag carpet
guys there going into a fetish play room through the poly tunnel, I've been to that club
#monsterdon
In the 1950s you added "Atom" or "Atomic" to make something sound futuristic or modern
in the 1980s you added "Turbo" to make something sound futuristic or modern
In the 90s you added "digital" to make something sound futuristic or modern
I wonder what the 2020s equivalent will be? AI?
there's something here with this chop guy #monsterdon
well, 28 minutes late, but we've reached the end of this week's #monsterdon. We both thank, and curse @Taweret, for birthing and maintaining the monster that is #Monsterdon
May our brains be forever atom.
that's it, i'm starting a spinning newspapers folder #Monsterdon
Just putting off the inevitable, not telling her that Uncle Dave is dead. Doesn't matter if its her birthday. Radical honesty is the best of all possible options. In this essay, I will
Thanks again friends that was fun lol #monsterdon #creaturewiththeatombrain
this guy is second only to octoman RV whap
#monsterdon #BestOfMonsterdon #MVPsOfMonsterdon #WhapsOfMonsterdon
#monsterdon Thanks @Taweret for hosting another epic monster movie! To review: Really nice hats, Neon Noodle's lead-lined hideaway, babydoll massacre, demonstration of why you put the vermouth in with the vodka, a train derailment from a completely different movie, and lots and lots of uncle Dave. Also an entire town where you can walk around with FrankenSteig's monster stitching and no-one will say a word for fear of being rude.
@starkraving666 The reanimated creature had a natural antipathy to any simulacrum of the human form and had a primal need to deconstruct it #monsterdon #baudrillard
@starkraving666 "Does the doll die?" YES
I still haven't seen any explanation for the deconstruction of the doll #monsterdon #creaturewiththeatombrain
Fucking off to a farm upstate is a refreshing change of pace, ngl. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon and the little girl names the girl doll a boys name continuing the ambiguous sexual themes.
Honestly, this movie was pretty great. Since itβs my first #monsterdon, I assume that all the movies must be great all the time, right?
for some reason i can't get enough of the walkup #monsterdon
Y'know, I had someone tell me this was quality a couple of days ago and was all like "Don't you threaten me with a good time" but dang if they weren't right
Fight gender normativity, Penny! #monsterdon
And that's the movie. No, I didn't like it, but honestly I feel refreshed. Like a spring rain or a lemon donut. Just a real palette cleanser of a film. #Monsterdon
@wohali@octodon.social good squib work I thought too #monsterdon
Lol holy shit, telling a kid that a family friend she likes who died, whose corpse you just destroyed, got her a doll and then "had to go away for a while" is extremely fucked up
OK, this was so bad it was good. Excellent choice for #monsterdon
Good job blowing out the candles, kid, for another year your parents will continue to shield you from the knowledge that life is as fleeting as the flames you extinguished with the last exhalation of this year's allotment of breath.
All flesh is grass, munchkin. #Monsterdon
Technically that was a denouement.
#monsterdon
Another #Monsterdon is in the can!
Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!
Tonight's feature, #TheCreatureWithTheAtomBrain from 1955, was full of radioactive mayhem, including,
- Brain electrodes!
- Luminous blood!
- Dead men walking!
- Radioactive minions of doom!
- So many emanations!
- A doll named Dave!
that was pretty fun. lots of dumb b movie nonsense science, big 50s cars and hats and indoor smoking, a mad scientist lab complete with mad scientist with an accent, lots of murders and even a helicopter chase and a big zombie attack scene at the end
no one fucked off into the sea but you can't have everything
ty for joining, everyone!
Aw, Uncle Dave died the way he lived -- passed out on Chet's floor. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain the evil scientist either had an attack of conscience or realized he was about to be arrested and started a mutiny, so the evil suit guy killed him (or at least knocked him out). The cops and the army surround the radioactive zombie factory but they don't want to do their preferred solution of exploding it because its made of radium or something and exploding it would be bad.
With the benefit of 70 years of hindsight, I would suggest the shocking fight strategy of taking about two steps backwards
Judo chop! Judo throw! Manly fisticuffs! #Monsterdon
Cheers to Chet, trying to dance his way through a zombie apocalypse like Shatner in that Zombie movie, to try and help Dave
That's a true friend!
Dude lobbed a grenade like 10 feet in front of himself. That's not smart. #monsterdon
All the Zombies seem to have a dress code #monsterdon
#monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain so the zombie cop woke up but couldn't transmit messages, so I guess "instinctively" broke out a window and started looking for an energy source and the main character chases him in a helicopter, because why not. The evil duo plan to attract the zombie cop with a radium rod for some reason I don't completely understand.
TIL lead "burns off" #monsterdon
lol @ all those zombies sitting around like the worst party ever

#monsterdon The command center has mechanical document routing
I love how bare bones those old helicopters are, not even a windscreen, so butch! #monsterdon
i do appreciate that things happen in this movie
#monsterdon he jumped out the 6th floor window
I really, REALLY don't want to know where the radium tube goes. #monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain
#monsterdon wrap tinfoil on his head
#monsterdon He bails out of car going 60, and his hat is slightly bent
The ol' jump into the bushes at full speed we all learned in the academy.
#monsterdon If we have previously established that the atomic-blooded zombies have grip strength sufficient to crush the spine of a man, why did they even bother tucking a fixed blade knife into his jacket? Why bother carrying a weapon at all?
"Are you alright?"
Sure, I only lept out of a car going 50mph, I'm fine. #Monsterdon
"Dave's not here, man" #monsterdon
#monsterdon ooops couldn't get the deadbolt in time
Nobody notices the giant scar on his head #monsterdon
why did the scientist order the zombie to mangle a doll and then leave?
#monsterdon Problems getting roles? Complaints from the director? With Dr Steigs new Surgical Sanitary Atomic Brain implants your dialog reading ability will increase 300% gauranteed!
Oh that poor girl, uncle Dave's not here.
#monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain we get a spooky medicine scene where they are installing a radioactive brain in one of the noir cops that they captured.
I'm not exactly sure how they captured all these people in the first place... they seem to have a very large supply of potential zombies to derail trains with. I guess the movie implies that they were all obtained by ambushing people with other zombies, which seems like a complicated process that might involve lots of zoom sessions.
my cake will be ruined if i stir the batter with the door open
I'm just glad when we get a kid actually delivering the kid's own lines."
TBF, that's how I'm like with kids and their weird child games
@CactuarJoe I *think* they just want to kill some people for the deported guy's revenge.
Uh oh - Penny has a zombie friend
"Unca Dave seems pretty drunk today."
At least these guys haven't made zombie women for,.....well you know what Men are like..
Wholesome baddies really
"Think of the tunnel passage as a giant an.."
"JERRY! I TOLD YOU!"
#Monsterdon βAnd someone should page Marie Curie! Her genie is out of the bottle!β
Shit just got real #monsterdon
Planes! Trains! Automobiles! #Monsterdon
There must be an easier way of hiding your call location that re-animating the Dead with THE ATOM
βI flunked chemistry three times!β
Yes, thatβs why youβre qualified to be a cop.
I'm gonna call it: evil bad guy will turn one of the zombies on the German scientist. #monsterdon
Wife calls and spoils the mood #monsterdon
...Wait is this movie just Re-Animator seen from the cop's perspective? #Monsterdon
The pipe-smoking lobby is strong in this one.
LEAVE THE DOG ALONE #Monsterdon
#monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain characters so far...
Science Cop Jed
Other Cop Mr. Bigamist
More Noir Cops (many)
Frustrated Wife
Little Girl
Evil Scientist
Evil Suit Guy
Radioactive Zombies (multiple)
Mayor Quimby (actual name unknown)
General Gerbil (actual name also unknown, at least by me)
Why didn't cars with propellor beanies ever catch on? #monsterdon
#monsterdon I'm hearing the zzzzap zzzzap zzzap of a Jacob's ladder in the lab but didn't see one, some kind of audio skeumorphism since everyone knows an evil lair has one of those around somewhere?
That announcer seems very chill for announcing zombies are real #monsterdon
#monsterdon #CreatureWtihTheAtomBrain we get an awkward family sequence where the little girl asks the Other Cop why he isn't married and the Frustrated Wife explains that the Other Cop would be a bigamist who is married to her father (Jed, the Main Character, who is also a science cop I guess).
Anyway, ignoring this ribbing, Other Cop explains that the first murdered guy was a mob guy and then investigate the history of a Mysterious European. Then the Frustrated Wife drinks too much.
always make sure your loved ones down some hard liquor before they drive anywhere
LOL having Joyce down the whole drink in one go and then nearly cough it back up was an artistic choice
A little 2020s advice for the guy there, if the first thing you do when you come home is reach for the drink....things are not going well
Looks like she's serving Wonderbread #monsterdon
Ladies and Gentleman, Drew Barrymore there! *round of applause for the child
ποΈStop! And by "stop" I mean execute a 3 point turn in a giant 50s car and drive back the way you came, keeping a low profile and NOT, at any time, looking like a radioactive ambulatory corpse
@ottaross something is definitely going to happen to Penny #Monsterdon
"How come you never got married, Uncle Dave?"
Munchkin we can't talk about that in the 1950s. #Monsterdon
lol, get the child to open the door to strangers...don't blame her, she's drunk, what does she know?! #monsterdon
#monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain Okay, so I don't think the conclusions that the movie has decided are correct are really logical in this situation. Like, I think if the fingerprints matched a dead person I might just assume that they got the prints wrong, or they did the match wrong or someone was using a dead man's hand to throw them off with fake prints.
Also I probably wouldn't jump from "this crime scene is radioactive!" to "OMG the killers are radioactive zombies!"
lol, where has that fucking child been? The local bar?!
#monsterdon I want to read the funnies. "The paper didn't come today honey. Also Nancy died of whooping cough"
