Look I can believe the giant spider, but a giant unmapped cave this close to town is much harder to believe.

@gblues "nobody left alive on the Surface now Carol, you know it makes sense"

#Monsterdon

Worst. Spelunkers. Ever.

#Monsterdon

Honestly, these two could get eaten by the spider and I would not care

"I guess we can go home!" --world-famous last words.

"There's gotta be another way out!"

Sure, you've still got about 15 minutes. #Monsterdon

DRAMATIC PHONE CALL MUSIC

#monsterdon

oh hey I has a bingo

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

Unpopular opinion maybe but I think it would be creepier if the spider *wasn't* constantly vocalizing.

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

Guess nobody thought the Spider might want to go back to it's cave home then?

#Monsterdon

Ah, the long-distance lines. How I miss them!

#Monsterdon

Sounds like the spider has indigestion. Poor thing. #Monsterdon

A tipped over US mailbox - civilization has fallen!

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

#monsterdon You didn't stumble though, we all saw you jump. So you know, you’re really a huge part of this entire problem we now have... WOMAN.

I'm joining #monsterdon late today because of bad planning. Normally I'd skip it, but I want to see the movie anyway for spider(s) and the bad movie street cred.

I'll probably just quietly watch along and post a singular review at the end in lieu of my longer summaries.

they even brought in the tarantula shadow. you can't tell me they weren't working hard on this

#Monsterdon

Sheriff Kegel. Tee hee.

Apparently the spider is mad because it can't use the web without an age check

#Monsterdon

that was a pretty dang good car crash stunt. I guess it helps that every car was functionally a tank in this era

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Ah, they are running away from... THE SPIDER... god, he's so slow and kinda cute. Like if it was Teddy Ruxpin, a spider Teddy Ruxpin…

I still say despite the screaming the Spider is more cute than scary

Spider wants to get out of high school as badly as I did. #Monsterdon

Good job, Hugo, that spider DEFINITELY doesn't have a key to that door. #Monsterdon

The power of rock ‘n roll to bring a giant spider back to life

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

Is this...High School?

Looks like they all got held back 7 or 8 grades.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon What is joe doing?

Is that dancing?

He's kind of just wagging his arms back and forth while the band plays the world's most generic rock riff.

What exactly is he "rehearsing?" Does the band need him?

Not swingin', not twistin', they're just kinda vaguely rotating. #Monsterdon

If the spider just started vibing on the dance floor that would make this the best movie ever

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

If the spider doesn't dance I'm going to be disappointed

#Monsterdon

@diazona Hugo is a good name for any giant creature #Monsterdon

Hugo's on first

#monsterdon

Attack of the puppet people was also a Burt I. Gordon movie. So within the universe of his movies, all movies are Burt I. Gordon movies.
#monsterdon

"Attack of the Puppet People" didn't we watch that?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon You almost lost your life, now get your homework done. YES MOTHER.

🤔

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider1958

Gee I hope the spider isn't just unconscious

#Monsterdon

Why is the High School Board on his back? Were complaints made?

#Monsterdon

That was the most sarcastic salute I've ever seen

#Monsterdon

Real talk, all.

Housemate is *identifying* the spider species as we watch.

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

@cptbutton @paco that's why I figured everybody had gas masks ready to go, too…

#monsterdon

@everyday_light ....I mean, they probably were! #Monsterdon

I'm reading that tarantula webs are not used for trapping prey. Maybe they were being very pendantic by not making it sticky.
#monsterdon

@paco nah most just put it in the sprinklers and skip the truck #Monsterdon

Spider screaming like HEY DO I COME INTO YOUR HOUSE AND SPRAY CANCER ALL OVER THE WALLS? #Monsterdon

Also I cannot help but notice that NOBODY IS CHECKING BEHIND THE WEBS FOR TREASURE CHESTS. Geez, these people have no idea how to explore a dungeon!

#monsterdon

"When you get back to town, make a coroners report, don't just throw it in the trash as usual...."

#Monsterdon

The coroner's job is to put down the cause of death, not you doofus.

#monsterdon Cops want to turn every enclosed environment into an Elks Lodge. Their larval stage needs the proper environment to work properly.

This movie was released four years before the book “Silent Spring”.

@CactuarJoe That’s alright, Carol can just take Thalidomide. That went over so well for that generation…

*lotr crossing a mountain music plays*

#monsterdon

For some reason modern movies just are not willing to bust out the tanker-truck full of DDT.

We used to be a country.
#monsterdon

Sheriff has FDR eyes #monsterdon

lol, as if Cops can play complex games like Chequers

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe must be tuesday

#monsterdon

You don't wanna go messin' 'round no old pickup truck!

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

aww, it's one of those cute, hairy spiders!

#Monsterdon

Ok at this point you deserve whatever happens to you. #Monsterdon

Sun-bleached bones… in a cave?

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider1958

Stalag-might hit you in the head #Monsterdon

"Mike, let's go this way."

You can see more styrofoam stalactites from here. #Monsterdon

This cave has great lighting

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider1958

Yes, all caves get warmer the deeper inside you go.

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

Last time I went in the cave an old man told me it was dangerous to go alone and gave me a sword. The cave is awesome

#Monsterdon

Chekovs present for spoiled daughter

#Monsterdon

"Who would do a thing like that?"

Juggalos?

#Monsterdon

just for the record. Y'ALL are my cronies...

#monsterdon

Oh hey, car's got built-in rear projection. #Monsterdon

Gene Persson is exactly the kind of human name a spider would come up with

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

Maybe don't bring up the Wolfman around Lon Cheney.

Crucified doll in spider web is normal decoration, fine place to strip & boink the scummy lawyer. Or Ralph if you're nasty.

"Beyond the bounds of prudence & good taste." No, he'll taste fine.

#monsterdon #SpiderBaby

@gnomon Missing for The Muppet Movie is fair

(also FWIW the double feature only has normal-sized spiders, but still you probably made the right choice skipping both)

#Monsterdon

Aw man, I might be missing a couple of #monsterdon picks this summer...

https://www.topictureshow.com/christie-pits

C'mon, The Muppet Movie? Who could resist that???

(Missed tonight because Katie and I are both pretty strongly against giant spiders. Huge psychic murderous crabs though? Totally fine with those.)

#Toronto

see the problem with this movie is that it's just sort of good and i like it #monsterdon

I award Earth vs the Spider 3 out of 5 spooky cave skeletons. It was middle of the road for a #monsterdon . I appreciate that this film's creators decided a spider should sound like a gargling theremin.

The best character was the high school rock band that insisted on practicing in the room with the giant spider despite clearly not needing it.

The worst character was whoever decided that sheriff departments should be able to get giant trucks of DDT on demand.

So much spider hatred, it's not even your house dude

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Precious to see Lon Chaney wax on about a full moon. LOL.

#monsterdon The cat violence is giving me twitches, but at least they didn't capture the grisly bits on film.

You invite yourself to stay then don't complain about the dinner.

#monsterdon #SpiderBaby 🕷️🕸️🕷️

I would choose the vegetarian option with that dinner

#Monsterdon

That outfit Ralph has makes me think of Tom Hanks classic "The Burbs"

#Monsterdon

lol @ 'Nedrick'

#Monsterdon

Perhaps the Merrye family should not breed with the Merrye family?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon The little hitler moustache is very much on point.

Transporting Adolph Hilter in his taxi I'm sure wasn't on his bingo card for the day.

#monsterdon #SpiderBaby 🕷️🕸️🕷️

that man's hitler 'tache is making me uncomfortable

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Emily, if god wanted you to drive, he would have given you a.... POT OF COFFEE. :)

#monsterdon Ralph is strange but also incredibly handy and tidy. So I kinda like him.

@allanb #monsterdon #WrongSpider

wait.... this is supposed to be funny?

#monsterdon Norman... do it for your spidery mother, Norman…

Wait, he was a black dude 10 years ago?

Is this one of THOSE 60s movies?

#Monsterdon

A nice return to baseline #monsterdon nonsense, great job everyone. That's another movie launched into space! And thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting!
