Spider says NO STOP THAT TICKLES I'm gonna fall! #Monsterdon

We’re Tesla-coiling the spider to death? #Monsterdon

As always, should have brought Samwise Gamgee #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon is that everything sorted. The spider fell. It's sounding strangely like the end.

Still no flashlights smh

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

the "rubber glove" is a metaphor for a prophylactic 😜

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider1958 this movie definitely does not pass the #BechdelTest

Mike has GOT to be thinking about all the other girls he turned down to be with this very high maintenance chick. #Monsterdon

I suppose it’s too much to hope the foolish students will meet their doom while electrocution happens #monsterdon

I can’t tell who’s screaming. Is it Carol or the spider? Either way, it sounds like someone’s dying.

#Monsterdon

"There's a rubber glove put it on" Is this really the time for that... oh. #monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

Oh yes this is definitely a plan that would involve zero humans getting electrocuted

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

Great use of those caves. #Monsterdon

i mean no wonder they used it as little as possible, this is hilarious

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

Spider's screaming because it's afraid of heights #Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider Spider1958

@msh #monsterdon

Alternate title: "The Spider from OSHA"

That's what happens when a cop stomps on the live spider. You're stuck with a crummy puppet. #monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

Was that a spider puppet??? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🕷️ 🕸️ 🆚 🌎️ 😱

now the tarantula's butt looks like it has a bald patch poor baby

#monsterdon Haskell saves the day 🙌

Please eat those kids AND the sheriff. #monsterdon

oh shit they had a real fake spider and it's gloriously terrible :D

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

poor spider sounds constipated

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

Seriously. This is pretty decent. For a spider film. #Monsterdon

One digging and the other four just standing around.

#Monsterdon #TheSpider #TheSpider1958

they're coming to take us away, away! they're coming to take us away!

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

see, there's the pickaxe. i'm so glad we got some professionals for this dig.

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

"Ledge, if we can get out far enough on it, the spider can't follow us."

Riiiiiight. I've never seen a spider just scale a wall.

Move that hand down that cardigan, fella #Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider Spider1958

Careful with those hands, buddy

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

So his plan is to cut the power to the whole town?

#Monsterdon

Parts of the cave set really are pretty and well-lit

#Monsterdon

sometimes i can't tell the difference between carol's screams and the spider's

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Watch out Mike, Carol… stumbles a lot.

Missed it.

#Monsterdon #Spider1958

If you got hit by real rocks that size (and not foam), you'd definitely have a bruise. You wouldn't just stand up and dust them off.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🕷️ 🕸️ 🆚 🌎️ 😱

We can't leave!
Look at all the bracelets!

Yup they heard you. EVERYONE heard you. #Monsterdon

Maybe throw in an anode or two, as well.

#Monsterdon

"Struck granite" ok well depending on its composition if you bang together two subcritical lumps of it you might get another of those explosions you love so much #Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider Spider1958

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider1958 kill it with electricity! ⚡️

@JigmeDatse you like spiders, you like monkeys, maybe you don't like monsters so much

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

YOu know, it doesn't looks safe to use explosives on a cave with old people playing as teenagers. Not if you care to find them alive, at least
#monsterdon
#earthvsthespider1958

The spider heard you too.

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider 🕷️🕸️🕷️

Spider can't get you on the ledge? Excuse me? Spiders claw on walls all of the time!

#Monsterdon

The spider hears them yelling for help. Hurries over to the kids. “Wait! Wait! Don’t run! I’m just trying to help.”

#Monsterdon

Nice callback to the electric arc we started the movie with #monsterdon

Please yell loudly in this newly-destabilized cave system #Monsterdon

is the spider little again?

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

@moira @RobynGoodfellow WE DIDN'T START THE FIIIIIRE... #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🕷️ 🕸️ 🆚 🌎️ 😱

Do you know what you call a cave underneath a cave?
THe same cave/

The filmmakers only have the one full-size prop spider leg.

#Monsterdon #Spider1958

"Wow, I guess the townspeople really hated us to blow up the entrance" #Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider Spider1958

@RobynGoodfellow diode, cathode, electrode, overload, generator, oscillator

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

You're using *how much* dynamite?

…

You're trying to kill those kids, aren't you?

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

1950s dad bod beefcake!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I've seen these rocks before. Oh, that's a nice looking spider, why all the screaming?

Lots of pumice. But now there’s a layer of granite. Is this geologically sound? #monsterdon

Again, no one in the history of motion pictures has ever actually DUG a hole.

#Monsterdon

@SocialCommentaryBot

Yes. Miru had an MST3K clip about it.

#Monsterdon
#EarthVsTheSpider

#monsterdon "here's where we go to work" Haskell is the most likeable character

struck granite huh

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

If rocks that big crashed down on them, I think they probably wouldn’t make it.

#Monsterdon

Carol’s going to have a late night doing that trig homework

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

We struck granite! Guess no microcline this time.

#monsterdon #TheSpider1958 #EarthVsTheSpider

"If those kids have got a lot of sense..."

Sir, I assure you, it has been very well established that they do not.

#monsterdon

@moira I think we should record ourselves making the spider noise and post on Mastodon.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider1958 “now climb through the web” and tell the spider exactly where we are!

“Let’s drag that cable over there. … No! Not *that* cable! That’s part of the web!”

#Monsterdon

@socketwench 😂

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

Anode? Diode? Shit I wasn't paying attention during the beginning of the movie. #monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

rocks rocks rocks

his love affair with rocks

society won't understand but

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

do *not*, and I repeat do *not* electrocute the tarantula.

...Chekov's electricity class? Is that how this is going to work?

#monsterdon #TheSpider1958 #EarthVsTheSpider

Ah, Chekov's high tension electrical arc from the first classroom scene is finally consummated #Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider Spider1958

@eigen It sounds like the people doing the dynamiting found out the kids were inside just after they set off the explosives

Or maybe a long time after, idk, time seems fluid in this movie

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

I thought I'd seen this before...
... it was in MST3K or Rifftrax or something wasn't it?

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

"Those kids have a lot of sense."

Must be thinking of a different movie...

#Monsterdon
#EarthVsTheSpider

I guess sheriff isn't too worried about two less teenagers around...
#monsterdon
#earthvsthespider1958

Y'all are going to be digging for quite a while.

#Monsterdon #Spider1958

"Don't worry, those kids have a lot of sense"

but not the sense not to go into the cave apparently
#monsterdon

Why, I learned about this electricity thing in the first scene!

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

"Those kids have a lot of sense" Objection!! Assumes facts not in evidence! #Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider Spider1958

“Those kids have a lot of sense”

Are we talking about the same kids???

#Monsterdon

Zap?

#monsterdon #TheSpider1958 #EarthVsTheSpider

Bastard cop seems appropriately unconcerned about the welfare of the kids #Monsterdon

those kids have a lot of sense? prove it

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

I think he'd be squished with all of those rocks on top of him.

#Monsterdon

Haskel is pretty calm with all the men telling him how to do his job #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🕷️ 🕸️ 🆚 🌎️ 😱

Haskell is not the guy to fix this problem I don't think

“Please do something.” #Monsterdon

Luminous algae? 🤔

#Monsterdon #TheSpider #TheSpider1958

@ryan

No!

lol

#Monsterdon

and that's the last of Archie and Betty....

#monsterdon

The spider sounds like a pissed off bobcat.

#Monsterdon

yeah, stand wide back, one of only 3 things to happen in this movie is about to happen. we wouldn't want anyone too excited now.
