"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! … 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".

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider1958

They'll have to get Godzilla to fight if it gets any bigger!

#Monsterdon

They keep going in because the sign doesn’t say “this means you!”

#Monsterdon

i will say mike has the best wheels of the entire movie

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

Dude was *right fucking next to a door*

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

run out the door you old fool!

#Monsterdon

An impromptu dance was held in the gym.
There were no survivors.
#monsterdon

Spiders prefer Jazz

#Monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

IF YOU KIDS DON'T QUIET DOWN I'M GONNA WAKE UP AND EAT ALL OF YOU

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

Oh gods these people are so white when they dance, it's bringing the spider back to life out of cringe!

oh shit oh fuck disco spiders incoming #monsterdon

Glad we had this velvet rope to make a cursory attempt at hiding the matte line.

Jazz time!

Hugo would be a good name for the spider

We watched it a few months ago!

Hugo! Hugo! No, you go. You go! No, Hugo!

@socketwench can't get over how much he stands out, it's beautiful #Monsterdon

ARE WE FIVE DOLLAR FRIENDS OR NOT JOE

#Monsterdon

Oh wow not just Amazing Colossal Man but Attack Of The Puppet People too, Bert's royalties must have been nosediving #Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider Spider1958

@cocaine_owlbear That would truly be the Empire of the Ants.

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

I wonder if those are other Bert I Gordon movies and he's being very post modern?

#Monsterdon

"The amazing colossal man" was another of Burt I Gordon's movies. Which means his own movies exist within his own movie's universe.
#monsterdon

Just a muscle contraction.... #monsterdon

boooring can we go back to the spooder

really love how dramatically Carol is emoting 'grief'

If the spiders win and take over the world, do we get a... WORLD WIDE WEB?!?

@pork_soda @paco omg!

How much damage does getting hit by a random spider leg do? Several d20s worth?

#monsterdon Carol, I want to talk to your mother first. You didn't get the coffee in time, so you, ya stupid bint, get sloppy seconds! HA HA!

dead from DDT but they'll blame the spider

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

Remember your PPE!

#monsterdon #TheSpider1958 #EarthVsTheSpider

humans heroically flood an entire cave ecosystem with poison without even attempting to observe the giant spider, a miracle of evolution that defies the basic biophysical constraints that should make such a creature impossible #monsterdon

the two dudes without masks starting to panic....

#Monsterdon

@ohiofi everybody warned him it'd stick like that, and, well, it did

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

50% solution of DDT, yeah this will end well

@CactuarJoe *moves through solid rock

Wow what an amazingly economic reuse of very unimpressive effects.
#monsterdon

@cptbutton Given how thick its exoskeleton is? I'd be tempted to suggest tungsten or DU core.

#monsterdon #TheSpider1958 #EarthVsTheSpider

hurrah for DDT!

Nature has lived for too long!

@nhgeek Steve Buscemi eyes!

Spiders are my favorite insects

#Monsterdon

Oh yes, please, science us on the spider. The GIANT spider that would be crushed under its own weight at that size. Please, go on.

#monsterdon

This man knows way too much about giant spiders...

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Spider1958 #EarthVsTheSpider

#monsterdon Why must all the stupid cops have zero belief in anything that doesn't attack them directly. But we need a body count, so these two cops make great spider chow... ACAB, they're useful for something. Monster chow… that's fine.

#monsterdon Wow! A few minutes in and we have monster! We have monster now! That was quick! They got off that web really fast too... remarkable physical strength and dexterity suddenly, at the end.

Spiders, well known for yelling at home invaders #Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider Spider1958

Carol: What’s that?
Mike: Oh, just some ol’ beat up pickup truck
…
Carol: *screams*
Mike: Oh, just some ol’ beat up skeletons

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

I like how the spider makes eerie howling sounds, totally arachnid accurate #monsterdon #EarthVsTheSpider

Can we get a protagonist with the ability to connect one clue with another, please? #Monsterdon

Maybe the doctor that dragged those medical display skeletons in here treated your dad's injuries

#Monsterdon

pretty ropey web there, lol

THATS WHY PEOPLE GO MISSING IN CAVES

#monsterdon

loving the cave composites where the area with the actors is just sort of vibrating behind the static matte cave fronts #monsterdon

@ramsey Dad left years ago... #Monsterdon

We'll never find him in this empty soundstage.
#monsterdon

@srol Caves are canonically both creepy *and* wet.

(though I guess Carlsbad isn't so, er, bad)

#monsterdon #TheSpider1958 #EarthVsTheSpider

Yeah, you can't give up yet. You've got lots more postcards to be rear-projected onto. #Monsterdon

This cave is full of optically composited stalagmites.
#monsterdon

People have died here... but this time will be different! #monsterdon

Oh, that's June Kenney of Attack of the Puppet People. #monsterdon

#monsterdon oh no! Dad's vape cartridge!

Danger! Spooky cave with plot coupons!

“That’s what Dad was driving!” #Monsterdon

Did anyone remember to check DoesTheDadDie.com?!?!?

If you all want to know what a rope of spider silk could really do (and the very cool science behind how they make it), you must check out the indispensable Travis McEnery's recent video.

I guess there's some sort of electrical stuff happening later. Pay attention, this will be on the third act.
