The "Plant." The "Gay Mattress Company."

#Monsterdon #Spider1958

Now it's twice as big again!

#Monsterdon

Imagine the reaction if they had broke into "Muskrat Love".... #monsterdon

Sheriff Kegel is indeed a tight-ass #monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

It's a teenager stampede!

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

"PLANT"

#Monsterdon
#EarthVsTheSpider

That baby is almost as big as Helen!

#Monsterdon

Y'know a lot of animals like music (see: #Moosic)

Why not spiders

I wonder if anyone has researched this

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

You know, I'm pretty sure that same type of car just passed my house.

#Monsterdon

I bet Helen's a senior. #monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

You are just NEXT to the door Hugo.
#monsterdon

How did it suddenly get twice as big?

#Monsterdon

@RachelThornSub I think you're right, his intro stepping into a close frame and pause really felt like a moment leaving space for the audience to "ooh-ahh" at it

#Monsterdon

Awesome attack angle! Sorry about the janitor #Monsterdon

Ah, the prometheus school of running away from giant spiders

#monsterdon

We introduce the baby for later.

#Monsterdon #Spider1958

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider1958 play me the song of your people. The undead spider people.

Stop screaming and open the door right behind you!!! #Monsterdon

The GAY mattress company, excellent branding
#monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

Okay. Someone clearly spent a lot of time on that wall miniature. #monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

The day
The Spider
Un-died

#Monsterdon

wow, just imagine if that band had been playing SLAYER

#monsterdon #MaximumSpiderDrive

There is a door RIGHT BEHIND YOU!

#Monsterdon
#EarthVsTheSpider

Hu-gone.

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

Hugo looks familiar. I feel like he was a prolific character actor back in the day. #Monsterdon

The spider is having the same reaction to the music as the rest of us #Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider Spider1958

Hugo, I need you to make that call from somewhere else. lol

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider 🕷️🕸️🕷️

not gonna lie: I was rooting for the spider to eat everybody in the auditorium 😛
#monsterdon

Ok. You 3 stand on this side and say these lines, and you, sir, put on the hat and stand on that side and say these lines.

I can direct films, too.

#monsterdon

Beat it—he’s alive! #Monsterdon

Didn't know spiders could hold poses for that long.

#Monsterdon #TheSpider #TheSpider1958

Spider digs the Rock and Roll #Monsterdon

Hugo gets it.

#Monsterdon #Spider1958

#Monsterdon I was digging the music, but that bassist just grooving out while the whole place went to hell? Accurate portrayal of bassists.

#Monsterdon 🕷️ 🕸️ 🆚 🌎️ 😱

Oh what a dangerous web we weave.
When first we practice jazz.

@neia bassist on not nearly _enough_ weed maybe

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

the spider is just misunderstood and needs four pairs of socks for the sock hop
#monsterdon

8 sock hop.

#Monsterdon

*spider screeches* Me too, honey, me too.

#monsterdon

High schoolers want to go practice in the hall with the giant spider carcass? Do they have a death wish?

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

No bassist I know would drop an upright like that, even if they were threatened by a Giant Spider

#monsterdon

Spider won't be put in the corner!

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

"Is this because we didn't leave enough room for Jesus?"

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

#monsterdon GOD DAMN PULSE DIALING!

So, they are dancing for the dead spider?
No wonder she is coming alive
#monsterdon

#monsterdon "Why do I have so many friends?" You tend to pick them up spending decades in the 11th grade...

was it just in people's contracts that every movie had to have a dance sequence, or what.

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

#Monsterdon

Dear Janitor.

Theres a door right behind you dude.

@xerozohar Hey, if anybody could cut a rug, it'd be a spider :D #Monsterdon

Music hath awoken the great beast from its slumber!

#monsterdon

And then Splish Splash! I jumped back in the bath. How was I supposed to know the giant spider wasn't dead. #monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

BEHOLD, JOHNNY 8-LEGS, KING OF THE DANCE FLOOR

#monsterdon

Jeez, lady, they're not _that_ bad

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

Spiders like sock-hops. Good to know

#Monsterdon

Bassist gonna groove like a bassist #monsterdon

the music is loud enough to wake the dead. specifically, the dead spider.

#Monsterdon

By the way, I would advise against petting the spider, on the abdomen at least. (Virtually all) tarantulas from the Americas have urticating hairs on their abdomen, kind of like fibreglass, which they can brush off to defend themselves. Many tarantula keepers have to be extra careful about cleaning out enclosures.

#Monsterdon

I don't think the spider is a music lover. #Monsterdon #EarthvsTheSpider

The music has entered the spider.

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

RE: https://techhub.social/@diazona/116870463923611112

Any Frank Zappa band

#monsterdon
#EarthVsTheSpider

Is Joe directing the band?

#Monsterdon

Ah, the classic setting for a sock hop: next to a giant dead spider.

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

Poor Joe, I hope he graduates before his 50th birthday. #Monsterdon

This is the dancing portion of our film, or the how-to-wake-the-spider lesson.

#Monsterdon #Spider1958

Spider Rockabilly!

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

*pounding fists on table* SPI - DER - DANCE! SPI - DER - DANCE!

#monsterdon

Most awkward dancer goes to the woman in the pencil skirt standing right in front of the camera #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Less sway uninspired and more dance! SPIDER DANCE!

You know this one kids? It's called the eight-legged jitterbug!

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

They’ll find out the spider loves music when it starts dancing.

#Monsterdon

Let’s go to the hop.

#Monsterdon

I dunno, I thought the theremin vastly improved the band, why'd everyone run? #monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

A theater with posters only for Bert I. Gordon movies? 🤔
#Monsterdon

"Who's up after these guys?" "Some band called the oh-need-ers?"

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

@ohiofi That’s what I get for having a kid… I feel like I’ve missed so many great flicks the past year! #monsterdon

"Play it with everything you've got! Loud enough to wake the dead!"

(band rehearses)

(SPOODER TWITCH)

"NO NO NO I SAID WAKE THE DEAD NOT THE SPOODER!"

#monsterdon

It's the Spiders from Mars!!

#monsterdon

Back when actors still did their own stunts.

#monsterdon

Loud enough to wake the dead? Great idea with the dead spider right there #monsterdon

Oh, we’re going to music the spider back to life #Monsterdon

#monsterdon none of the dialogue in this movie knows about any of the scenes that have already happened

“It’s big alright.” #Monsterdon

Needs more Marty McFly...

#Monsterdon
#EarthVsTheSpider

oh no! the spider will be revived by the power of JAZZ

#monsterdon

These kids can be like Hugo in just 5 years.
#monsterdon
#earthvsthespider1958

Insert "How do you do, fellow kids" meme here. #Monsterdon

@msh and on account of all the DDT

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🕷️ 🕸️ 🆚 🌎️ 😱

why is no one trying to pet it? It looks so fuzzy?

#monsterdon Also, swing solid... or... what, swing drippy?

@trixter bad productions age you real quick

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🕷️ 🕸️ 🆚 🌎️ 😱

If that door had a giant NO TRESPASSING sign they would have gotten in much quicker.

See back in Ye Older Days kids just skipped their teens and twenties and went from 12 straight to 30 it was a coping mechanism #Monsterdon

@binford2k "mother's little helper"

#Monsterdon

Oh yeah, no way anyone would mistake these "teenagers" for squares #Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider Spider1958

Joe is Carol’s real dad.

#Monsterdon

The real monsters are the "teenagers" who won't stay out of the auditorium...

#Monsterdon
#EarthVsTheSpider

"All right, you monsters" is actually kind of an amusing line

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

please take pity on all these 30 year old men who need to rehearse their dance number in the spider room #monsterdon

#monsterdon Come on Daddy-O, open the door, we want to be ... monster-chow! And Hugo is a pushover.
