i took very good care of him. they'll never find that body.

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

@diazona trying to climb up and out of this movie

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

Larry sure is raising a lot of questions he doesn’t need to. #Monsterdon

The ants are very interested in these trees

I wonder what they're up to

#Monsterdon

@Taweret The ones I like are the ant vision ones #monsterdon

We're ALL blaming you Larry. It WAS all your fault! Get Eaten By An Ant LARRY. #Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

Ok Larry. We believe you. Hope you don’t die next. #Monsterdon

she dun ar you en en oh efft tea

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

There were sounds like a lady screaming but neither of the elderly people were screaming so, I guess that was the ants screaming about a couple people emerging from the shed? #monsterdon

They just wanted to live the rest of their lives!
#monsterdon

Old folks step out of shack, find themselves surrounded by giant ants. Just, like go back inside folks, you were fine before. What are the going to do, come in? #monsterdon #empireoftheants

I'm blaming him

#monsterdon
#EmpireOfTheAnts

The ants are making cicada noises, the old folks are whimpering... who the fuck is screaming? #monsterdon

The giants ants are just very scared. That’s why they scream. #Monsterdon

Nothing is free in life
#monsterdon

@SRLevine to quote Harrison Ford, "Hey kid, it ain't that kinda movie." #monsterdon

"..never get out of the boat. Unless you're going all the way. Kurtz got off the boat."

#Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

(okay, for real points to that scene though, that was creepy.) #monsterdon

@SRLevine Seriously, we're shooting in the everglades. There's enough humidty in the air, you never dry, and if you start out dry, you're damp in 15 minutes just by wicking the moisture out of the air. #monsterdon #empireoftheants

wow okay actually unintentionally hilarious composite shot

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

@Zerofactorial @cheribaker Honestly surprised there hasn’t been more shooting in an American film. #Monsterdon

"I told you we'd be safe. They're gone now." FAMOUS LAST WORDS BITCHES #Monsterdon

The one that got the Leisure Suit Larry must have been a grease-eating ant #monsterdon

Never get out of the bunker!

#monsterdon
#EmpireOfTheAnts

@moira

They can swim just fine. Especially larger ants.

#Monsterdon

gotta say they are really efficiently picking off the cast and we're only 45 minutes in #Monsterdon

it's like that Indiana Jones scene... #monsterdon

They’re gonna need a bigger boat. Just saying #Monsterdon

Did everyone magically dry out and find a blow-dryer for their hair?

#Monsterdon

“We lost the old couple.” On purpose?

Oh wait they’re still alive. Just ditched by the other three.

…And there we go.

#Monsterdon
#EmpireOfTheAnts

Still, not how ant eyes work.

#monsterdon

"We lost the old couple" he said dismissively, as if announcing the completion of a chore #Monsterdon

don't worry guys, it's actually 100% normal to hear random screaming while rowing down a Florida stream. #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe I think we're fine without Octoman - not like the ants need any help disposing of these people.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I wish the ants would stop screeching.

@Lazarou Ants all "Howd'ya like THAT, thumb boy!" and "Take this you bipedal bitch!" #Monsterdon

row, row, row the skiff, gently to your doooooom

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

@apLundell Someone said "Holland" #monsterdon

"That's a good omen!"

girl, you in danger. You in a horror movie. You think something's a good sign, that means you finna die.

#monsterdon

@Zerofactorial @cheribaker Masers are only good for things three stories tall or more. I don't make the rules. #monsterdon #empireoftheants

seriously Captain, you should've left her. #monsterdon

@cheribaker So foolish that among all of them there isn't a single handgun. Or maser #monsterdon

the question before our discussion panel today - radioactive ants and polyester: symbiosis or counter-thesis?

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

#EmpireOfTheAnts #monsterdon they recorded this movie like a live show bootleg argh

Man, they're gonna be wearing leech pants by the time they're done here. #Monsterdon

I love how she gets impaled on a tree. What is this, Tucker & Dale? #monsterdon #empireoftheants

Clearly, Jurassic Park drew on Empire of the Ants pretty heavily #monsterdon

RIP what's-his-name, he was terrific in the sack

#Monsterdon

Weird how the ants just eat people where they fall instead of bringing them back to feed the hive. #monsterdon

Proper shaky-cam is hard when the camera weighs 40+ pounds. #monsterdon #empireoftheants

Just like in Jurassic Park -- the ants look better in the rain #monsterdon

So running through the woods was absolutely as bad an idea as it sounded. Got it. #Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

The ear piercing screams are *really* shrill in this movie.

#Monsterdon

And now a dude bites it, 'cos we gotta keep the gender ratios even. #Monsterdon

That was the fakest “I tripped while running!” scene I’ve ever seen #monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

Never go full douche, Larry. #Monsterdon

Man they've used that same shot of the real estate lady and her boytoy running like four times now. #Monsterdon

careful around that fire. all that Fortrel™ together has gotta be really flammable #Monsterdon

Also great Jaws rip-off music #Monsterdon

Love how the puppet ants are all furry. #Monsterdon

"We'll be safe in the tiny, ramshackle building that doesn't even have a door!" #monsterdon #empireoftheants

larry, on the other hand, can't even get up the balls to go help his girl off the floor. too bad she's the one who has to pay for it. #monsterdon

@Taweret

The ants ate like 4 people already. They won't be hungry for a bit I think?

#Monsterdon

quick, we’re the oldest and slowest, let’s break off from the group! #monsterdon

@paco They're afraid there might be a savage worker ant inside #monsterdon

My brain cant hear shouts for Carol Anne without immediately going to Poltergeist #monsterdon

Eagle eyed cap’n Dan, spotting those giants ants… checks notes… 8 inches away. #Monsterdon

Joe Biden, about to be eaten by ants. Kamala Harris will be happy, at least. #Monsterdon

that's a latrine isn't it

we know what happens to jurassic part latrines

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

@nev

So baby.

#Monsterdon

*slap* You take the words "good omen" out of your mouth! #Monsterdon

@nev I'm hoping some weevils get into the silver stuff #monsterdon

I like how they keep yelling "Ants! Giant ants!"

😆

#Monsterdon

hey, the old man just came up with "zig zag" good job, dude. #monsterdon

They were not safe in there. #Monsterdon

👋 I would like to welcome one of Mastodon's great voices...
👉 @futurebird
to #Monsterdon tonight.

We hope we can give back some of the joy she gives us
🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜

i suspect the older couple will be next. #monsterdon

@peachfront checks out, yeah

#Monsterdon

Remember. You don't have to outrun the ants. You just have to out run the old people running from the ants. #Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

I kinda love the SUSPENSE TUBA portions of this soundtrack. WOMP. WOMP WOMP. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Sure, let's all walk through the woods to avoid wildlife.

i had no idea h.g. wells wrote such extensive small talk about florida real estate

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

I'm disappointed that would-be rapist wasn't the first to be horribly maimed. #monsterdon #empireoftheants

Man, this is the worst wet T-shirt competition ever held. #Monsterdon

what promised to be a fun Arrested Development situation has turned into TERROR #monsterdon

Larry is a dick #Monsterdon

*humans screaming*

*ant calmly grooming itself*

#Monsterdon

These people are so helpless they make the cub scouts look like Seal Team Six. #Monsterdon

Oh damn, they survived. #Monsterdon

Can I just say the visual effects in this movie are something else... Not that I'm looking for great effects in these movies but I think this may be a new low

#Monsterdon

I don't buy this "ants are afraid of fire" mantra #monsterdon

Ants are known for their inability to get into houses

#monsterdon
#EmpireOfTheAnts

charlie, i think it's time to go. #monsterdon

#monsterdon every one of Joe's reaction shots is gold

@swelljoe Different movie! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078867/

#monsterdon

Captain just pulled a John Locke with the rain.

#Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

you know it's good when you get the Legally Distinct From Jaws music. and now... whatever this is #Monsterdon

Thunderstorms among the trees in florida? Yeah, let's just hang out here. #monsterdon #empireoftheants

@codehive <commence wandering off in pairs>

#Monsterdon

...So nobody wants to try and get under cover? Nobody? Okay, sit there and get soaked. #Monsterdon
