Hunh. For a movie where like 98% of the dialogue was people explaining stuff, that didn't really make a lot of sense, did it?
Oh well. It did have a devil girl! From Mars! Let's hear it for truth in advertising!
Thanks everyone for watching along!
Thanks @Taweret for hosting! Have a great week & see y'all next Sunday!
Oh wow. That explosion cloud was spectacular. It just kept on and on, bulbously.
That ending.. #monsterdon
@Taweret I learned a lot about all of you tonight.
I'm not sure I followed the plot, so lemme see if I get it:
Devil Girl lands and doesn't want to take any of them.Devil Girl wants to take the little boy.Man switches places with little boy.Man steals toy remoteDevil Girl returns man and now will just kill everybody (including the man and boy)Professor makes a bid to go by being a London Tour Guide. Other folks make some cases.Devil Girl says she will take on and kill the rest, so pick your one.Crazy woman releases the convicted murderer and everyone hides. He gets to be the one to go with her.Devil Girl takes convict man onto the ship.Devil Girl leaves without killing anyoneDevil Girl and convict man explode and die.
@SRLevine also they can't be that advanced if a hairless ape can figure out the ship and how to make it explode
I give #DevilGirlFromMars 3/5 metal sticks of robot control. The best part was the alien space dominatrix with her icy threats and subdued smirk. The worst part was the puny earthlings who dared to defy her wrath.
The flying saucer was nice because it was loud and stupid, the rectangular robot was fine, but not as cool as Johnny from Chrono Trigger, who is also a tricycle. The plot had almost the expected level of horny for the premise.
@ricci it was really good for the times, wasn't it? Like a pearl in pigswill...
I'll say this, that was like a million times better than Visitor from Venus. #Monsterdon
And the Martians never sent another spaceship to Earth again
what if that wasn't an explosion but just what warp drive looks like
she'll come back in half an hour to vapourize the pub and everyone in it
#monsterdon This is actually the precursor to the movie Dog Soldiers, about Scottish Werewolves. God that would be a perfectly inane tie-in. The Devil Woman Form Mars brought werewolves to Scotland.
She forgot to the destroy the pub and everyone inside!
I kinda like the explosion they totally did that in water
Yep, mid-air explosion. I guess the punch landed.
oh nice effect tho
...I've not seen any pegging...any cock spin....what kind of kink show is this?!

I'm surprised the Brits reproduce at all after watching this, it's all narrative
We get an amusing interlude where the driver guy tries to convince the #DevilGirlFromMars that she'll need a guide to conquer London; she decides that he maybe has a point but doesn't trust him specifically (he already tried to kill her twice), and so she'll pick someone else to be her guide later.
Spurned, he retires to his room to ponder some scientific way of destroying the flying saucer. #monsterdon
She went from "you all die" to "one of you will live" rather quickly. She's just fucking with them. She just likes to watch them squirm. #monsterdon
She’s 26?!
#monsterdon #devilgirlfrommars
"I'm 26, and in all those years, I never got to do a single thing I wanted to do"
"And what would you do if you could start all over again?"
"Punk rock. Macrame. Competitive tiddly winks."
Typical scientist - ready to betray humanity at the drop of a hat.
You know this Professor talks a lot of bollocks, doesn't he? He's like one of those fake AIs, sounds smart but isn't
If you want an ass-whoopin’ come to pub in next 13 minutes!
If they ever remade this movie, Wendie Malick would have made a great Nyah.
Lady, just kill them all now and be done with their Earth Trickery, we've all got our little scams going on down here...
"This house and everyone in it will be destroyed"
"Soo.....we can just....leave the house....??"
is he actually saying they need to punch the reactor?
I WUV U!!!
{{HUGS}}
christ what is the point of this kid's narrative?
She really is putting a lot of effort into impressing a few people in a Scottish bar.
"you Fools"
Love how this lady makes an entrance
"...or I shall destroy the Child"
Classic
then she teleports, mocking the Humans again.
I have sworn fealty to this lady's style
Tommy might be better off on Mars, considering what we know Thatcher is going to do to the UK
ooh devil girl hypno eyes
She doesn't have any psychic powers, she's just a dom
This kid grew up with some weird fetishes from this.
How can you not love this robot?
You could probably make your own if you had a big cardboard refrigerator box with an inverted stew pot for a head. #monsterdon
It's so CUTE! #monsterdon
NO not the last tree!
"Now puny Earth men, watch the power of another world...."
Door very slowly opens, very slowly......
Oh my, and we thought the Aztec Mummy Robot was shit.
Observe as I demonstrate powers of another world!
<Triggers garage door opener>
Meanwhile, the driver ran into the invisible ball and hurt his head. The #DevilGirlFromMars then walks in to taunt them and the professor points a gun at her. She ignores his threats and the bullets from the gun, then walks up to him and taunts him with more "fools I have powers beyond your understanding!" type lines. Good for her. #monsterdon
I keep expecting her to say, “Kneel before Zod!"
A being from Mars has landed and trapped them all and they're all "But will I ever find true love?" wth #Monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars
More brazen than even the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za, the #DevilGirlFromMars explains Martian history and her evil plan - the Martians had a war of the sexes that wiped out most of the men, and so she need to kidnap some earth boys to repopulate mars. Also I guess wars like this are common in space, who knew.
I guess because the 1950s was a different time, the earth boys are not immediately lining up to be subjugated but are instead feigning unhappiness at this.
oh! Robert killed someone but he ain’t got hanged? that’s cuz it’s Scotland?
omg they really are trying to make this a story with a plot and shit. those brits.
"may i introduce your latex guest... er LATEST guest"
Imagine if hours before D-Day somebody wondered into a bar near Calais giving away the whole plan, this lady should keep quiet....or is it her Martian arrogance?
Dungeon Mistress from Mars?
No word of a lie that's how I want to make an entrance into a pub.....
After the flying saucer cools down and stops spinning, we get some goofy drums and horns as the long-awaited, titular #DevilGirlFromMars descends from its landing ramp and stares at things like Kim Jong Il at a tuna canning factory.
She is greeted by the balding fireplace guy, who panics upon seeing her; she responds to this by smirking and then vaporizing him with a ray gun. RIP fireplace guy, RIP.
marooned in the highlands with… meteors
Wuthering Heights, but make it illegal martian aliens
Unaware that the murderboyfriend and the fancy lady know each other, the bar maid confesses her love to the murder boy, tries to get him a room full of junk and broken furniture to stay in, and ponders absconding with him to abroad (he suggests Ireland, because you don't need a passport to go there I guess).
She reveals her moustache fetish
After some conversation, we decide that the flying saucer is still very hot, so we're waiting for it to cool down, and I guess that's why its spinning. Somebody goes to find the nearest phone, which is in a nearby village; I too hate it when I leave my phone in a nearby village.
In another conversation, we learn that the murder guy knows the fancy lady from the past, but I'm not sure from where.
I wonder what Devil Girl is doing right now? #monsterdon #devilgirlfrommars
okey dockey, i see we start with a literal BANG! so far, so good.
As we settle down to eat a large urn of soup together, the escaped convict barges in and is immediately identified by the guests as an escaped convict. However, he is saved from Scotland Yard by a loud noise that turns out to be a Gigantic Glowing and Spinning Flying Saucer, that everyone stops to look at. Erecting its landing dildos and shooting fireworks everywhere for no reason, it settles on the moor and then decides to spin, glow and whir for a while longer
Are they setting up a journalist to be the hero? Ridiculous.
This is an unusual meteor, but it’s cute. :) #monsterdon
Characters so far in this #monsterdon :
Bar Boss Lady
Barmaid Dating a Murderer
the Murderer

A Child
So far the titular #DevilGirlFromMars has yet to appear...
Is "extraordinary" British for kind of rude?
#monsterdon The lady is a walking talking Sears Catalog. Lets just flip through all the boring bits until we get to the underwear models! YEEEHA!
After talking about the cool meteor that is probably a flying saucer, the news guy tells us about an escaped criminal, who we then see skulking by the road. He then wanders into the pub, where a younger barmaid is his girlfriend or something, so he visits her to hide out from the cops. The boss lady is suspicious of him, but the two of them spin up a story quick enough to appease her and get him a job as a bar worker. #monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars
@Taweret Their main export is ghosts
Are THESE the men the Devil Woman is coming to collect?
...No accounting for taste, I guess. #Monsterdon
I refuse to believe that anyone in England actually talks like that.
launching my #monsterdon thread for #DevilGirlFromMars, a movie in which I think Earth is invaded by a thirsty martian dominatrix.
Monsterdon is the thing each week where we watch an old monster movie and make fun of it. Mute the hash tag if that sounds boring to you, otherwise, follow along and enjoy the flood of posts.
is there a link for #monsterdon ??? i'm new to this but want to watch!
#monsterdon GOGOGOGOGOGOGO
@homelessjun You'd have to look past the obvious piece of evidence that she claims to be from Mars (and speaks perfect English so one would assume she knows what Mars is)
but otherwise idk
@jonny Hmm yeah I caught the bit about testing the metal, but I assumed it passed its test since it managed to land on Earth in the first place. Plus if we wanna get technical, it definitely looked like an explosion rather than a hull disintegration. (Because *of course* this movie holds up to that level of critical analysis 🙄)
Though I suppose either way there will be more spaceships
i cant sleep im afraid of albert jumping out from behind something
#Monsterdon
@floatybirb I mean, for all appearances, from space, Earth looks pretty much like a water world, so yeah, I'm going with the aliens in Signs, on this one. #Monsterdon
OK, ALL posts from @floatybirb just arrived all at once on my TL. Does this delay happen to anyone else?
An alien landing and possible earth population disruption is merely a blip in the timeline of the Scottish Pub.
@blogdiva DAMN she's amazing
anyway good job again team and thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting
A lot of people I follow are part of #Monsterdon
@Lazarou @Cherizilla lol yeah that one's practically free
@ramsey I dunno mate. Seems a wee dodgy.
#monsterdon
@steggy
No judgment if that is your thing. You hit the jackpot, dude! #monsterdon
@Taweret Nyah should have taken me! I've got my own selection of gas masks!
@moira @combatwombat This is going to be a great meme template
