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

that man's hitler 'tache is making me uncomfortable
#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, Normanβ¦
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!
Except for the nearly ten minutes of Carol calling βdadβ this was a tight 73 minutes of sweet monster movie goodness.
I choose to believe the spider just wanted to dance
This should have been 8-footloose
Anyway, not too bad! Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everyone for posting! Now on to the double feature for more spiders
I must say, I enjoyed that main feature a load more that pretty much all of the more modern main features we're had recently.
Also, this interstitial music is excellent.
Well you've got to hand it to that film for keeping it short, at least it didn't overstay it's welcome, even if it failed to make any of the characters matter
And then they beat the sheriff to death with bags of oranges. The end.
This movie is very pro-dynamite
Well that kind of had a denouement.
#monsterdon
We just took down half the hill. Let's get this one shirtless guy with a shovel on it!
"there's a rubber glove, put it on"
jeez, right here in front of the giant spider and everybody?
"I've put the rubber glove on, now what?"
"Bend over and think of the 4th of July".
Of COURSE they exploded the hill onto the entrance without due diligence π
"There's a rubber glove, put it on!"
"Okay! What do I do with the lube?"
Wondering if the spider reacts to little humans in it's house as an Arachnophobe would to a tiny spider?
Hence the screaming.
"No telling how much I'll need..."
"Well, I can't manufacture any more, so, hope for the best."
#monsterdon
"Carol! Mike! Steve! John! Bill! Greg! Karen! Sally! Georgina!"
The number if OSHA violations in this #Monsterdon is staggering
"Hey Carol it's Them" so now they have giant ants to deal with too?? #Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider Spider1958
Kids, if you can hear me, yell "come and get us spider, our insides are very juicy".
#monsterdon
Fun fact: If the cave is wet enough to be producing all these stalagmites and stalactites the current is just going to go through the formation and not the spider. I mean amirite?
And then they meet a stranger on the ledge ...
@srol This reminds me of the trolley problem
Wait⦠why do the miners need a lamp?
Did all "engineers" wear that specific hat back then?
Are you *trying* to get giant spiders with electricity powers?!
Drat! They're still alive....
They're literally digging a plot hole.
Nearly crouton'd the boy to death. #Monsterdon
"Let's use power lines to eletrocute the giant monster. What could possibly go wrong?"
*godzilla laughs in the distance*
"Let's see if we can electrocute the beast"
It's the whole reason he came to this town five years ago
#Monsterdon π·οΈ πΈοΈ π ποΈ π±
"Those kids have a lot of sense"
No.
#monsterdon Isn't that Joe's box of gently used sex toys, over there? With the bracelet?
lol, trapped in there, the idiots...
Carol, we keep going in circles! I feel like we're just shooting all of our cave scenes in one evening!
"I'm the sheriff of River Falls. I hunt spiders." *dragnet music*
"Audiences will not be permitted to enter the theater after 'The Candy Bar` scene!"
"Why did I ask you to bring me down here? It's all my fault!"
"Yep. Totally."
#monsterdon
I'm sure the spider likes candy bars
Mike, people may have been down here before but none of them came out alive....
Spider wrote that just to prank high school kids
More cave wandering. I'm on the edge of my seat.
Oh I schooched back, nevermind.
#monsterdon
Cave 3: With a Vengeance
I bet the spider shows them the way out of the cave
Luminous algae: finally an explanation!
@Newpa_Hasai There's still time
Just toss that corpse anywhere
@CactuarJoe gosh. dang. shucks. shame.
The ratio of old coots to spider in this town is 4:1
I remember this challenge on The Great British Bakeoff.
HT. England leads Mexico 2-1. Super entertaining. Both sides could easily have 3 right now. #monsterdon
So is the operator actually the sherriffs sister?
#monsterdon
Please do not the tarantula
Bracelet found! Mike's gonna get some tonight!
As the spider gets bigger, its voice gets deeper.
Okay, but why is the cave so well lit?
If you really love me you'll find my bracelet #Monsterdon
those are not the right shoes for spelunking
@diazona Chekhovβs Toddler.
the spider has become holographic, by attempting to composite the spider into the shot they only made it more powerful #monsterdon
#monsterdon See, you stayed in the house... if you had taken the kid for his checkup and then went to the A&P, you'd have been SAFE. Stupid bint. That's what you get for not FETCHING THE COFFEE
The practical effects are usually the best thing in a Gordon film. Not quite Tsuburaya quality, but pretty darned good for the budget. #Monsterdon
oops, everybody's dead, movie's over.
whirly birds
How are we sure the giant spider isn't the better form of government? I say we give it a try.
Escalation (flamethrowers and artillery)
And shorten that tie, Dave! #monsterdon
I'll give the population of this town this much: at least they're not trying to run up to the spider to punch it barehanded like I've seen Skyrim NPCs try to do to dragons before. π€£
Get off the streets! You look horrible in that get-up! Are you color blind!!
#monsterdon
The spider keeps screaming because that blacktop is melty hot and, well, she ainβt got no shoes.
Bring out the big guns: Flamethrowers! Artillery! DDT! High school jazz!
#monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider
@WXQ4987 Not a lot of βgreatβ flicks π€£
Mostly terrible flicks
"Rock & roll" but jazz instruments. "Loud enough to wake the dead!" YES. RISE!
Spider: "Hi, I'm still in this film, and I hate fake jazz/rock music."
Hey, I have the same coffee/phone table as the science teacher! β¦ yes, old stuff. He's got a cute wife & kid, tho. Usually science guys get the "lifelong bachelor" treatment in these films.
Not really enough people for a fleeing mob, but eh.
Ha Spider's gonna "take him to the mattresses".
They'll have to get Godzilla to fight if it gets any bigger!
They keep going in because the sign doesnβt say βthis means you!β
i will say mike has the best wheels of the entire movie
Dude was *right fucking next to a door*
run out the door you old fool!
An impromptu dance was held in the gym.
There were no survivors.
#monsterdon
Spiders prefer Jazz
the music is loud enough to wake the dead. specifically, the dead spider.
IF YOU KIDS DON'T QUIET DOWN I'M GONNA WAKE UP AND EAT ALL OF YOU
Oh gods these people are so white when they dance, it's bringing the spider back to life out of cringe!

SPIDER MUST BOOGIE
Play some doom metal you cowards
oh shit oh fuck disco spiders incoming #monsterdon
Glad we had this velvet rope to make a cursory attempt at hiding the matte line.
#monsterdon
Jazz time!
My favorite part of high school was being 38 years old
Hugo would be a good name for the spider
