#monsterdon the founder of Holo Taco saw the shot of the radioactive goop in this movie, and a dream was born

..."When you're out of slits, you're out of pier." #Monsterdon #MST3k

Wow are those radioactive waste canisters SUPPOSED to start leaking almost immediately? #Monsterdon

Off to the Empire of the Ants #monsterdon

@Taweret they were trying for sea kaiju and somehow wound up with land kaiju #monsterdon

"...it'll be fine. The barrels say Do Not Open."
"ants can't read"
"FUUUUUUuuuuuuuuu"

#Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

#monsterdon I don't know the HG Wells original, but I'm sure this is 100% true to the original.

It's the 70s, the ants are riding in the rear facing backwards, amirite

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

@wohali "We're gonna need a smaller boat."

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe wait seriously? That would explain a lot (like how the good name of H. G. Wells got associated with this pile of a film)

#Monsterdon

...hey wait, did they steal the first fifteen minutes of The Horror of Party Beach? #Monsterdon #MST3k

Reminder to self: weight the barrels of radioactive waste so they don't float back to shore.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon OH blig a tory. It must be italian ants

Based on the necessary one...at....a...time method i think these henchmen are hourly.

#monsterdon

Pheromones == mind control. Got it. #monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

It is 1977 and we still haven’t learned what happens when you yeet radiation into the sea? #Monsterdon

5% 🥴

#Monsterdon

These aren't the credits, they're the names of the people trapped in the barrels they released. #Monsterdon

I'm sure that's fine. #monsterdon

Here I go, here I go, here I go again… #Monsterdon

Ise Earl! No, Ise Earl! No! ISE Earl!

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

I see, they're busy getting the ocean to boil #monsterdon

I could watch a proper documentary on ants.

Nice legible credits: good font, yellow with dark outline.

#GiftOfTheSea: radioactive waste. Fine it for littering.

"I am sure if I forget, you will remind me." -- nice.

Many people, one boat. Does that foreshadow a calamity about to happen? (Oh, the title of the movie ...)
#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

BERT. I. GORDON. Welcome to the pain parade! #Monsterdon

🐜 EMPIRE OF TRIVIA 🐜

Do the voices and action look a little out of sync?

It has been reported that the film's "sound man" had an argument with Director Gordon at the end of the shoot, causing him to toss all the tapes into the swamp.

The fix was non-optimal.

#Monsterdon

@brooke "Did you hear me? OBLIGATORY!" #monsterdon

Wait, HG Wells? Really?
#monsterdon
