i've lost track of how many stock footage segments we've had but at least this one has cooler music

#monsterdon

on the board behind him:

TURNTABLE OUT

BEEPER OUT
BEEPER IN

RCA LINE IN
CUE PHONES
WESTREX IN

etc

this was filmed in a school announcement switchroom

#monsterdon

Flashbacks to Dr. Strangelove telephone scenes

#Monsterdon

going for help at exactly the 5mph that a 50cc moped in sand can go #monsterdon

Typical Sunday night for me… have the minions bring in the women, load them onto the conveyor, nod in approval.
#monsterdon

"I think she's had enough, Princess. Let me see if she has any other Earth devices in her satchel."

pulls out transistor radio, ham sandwich, bottle of Yoo-Hoo, vibrator, USB thumb drive...

#monsterdon

So I guess our half-melted robo-Frank is our stand-in for the Frankenstein in the movie's title? I mean we're running low on time, and not doing too well on delivering the promised showdown.

#Monsterdon

"what kind of shoes would a frankenstein wear"
"idk... big... shoes.... with... clothes on them... too.."
#monsterdon

...So the women all come out the other end of this with elf ears, right? #Monsterdon

"Don't look back Frank. You'll turn into a pillar of salt."

#monsterdon

#monsterdon They fled their world seconds before nuclear anihilation, but they made sure to bring a monster. Can't go anywhere without a monster.

i think i need a gif of devil girl smirking next to princess smirking

#monsterdon

They're straining the women through cheesecloth to remove the impurities. #Monsterdon

These captives look surprisingly bored

#Monsterdon

Fuck ICE

#Monsterdon

Unclear under what circumstances Frank and the Space monster are going to meet

#Monsterdon

"I wish to inspect the specimen."

Oh, THAT's why the Princess isn't available for breeding. Gotcha. #Monsterdon

Yes, I'm sorry sir, we couldn't afford any dialog for this part

#Monsterdon

It's 1965, how much memory can you stick in him?

#Monsterdon

running out of women is such an annoyingly common problem in the galaxy! thank god you can swap in any other species' women without too much trouble in most cases #monsterdon

MARS NEEDS WOMEN!?

...Wait, the princess doesn't count? #Monsterdon

I want a sitcom starring the Martian Princess and Nader.

#monsterdon

I cant believe they used protective suits of such low quality that we can see underwear lines.

Well actually I can believe it...

#Monsterdon

All systems no go!! And a cruel chuckle. Regular Monday morning.

#Monsterdon

I like how the song for this stock footage scene has nothing to do with be Space Travel as far as I can see but then I am eating spicy ramen

#Monsterdon

Good music though. The Poets - That's the Way It's Got to Be.
#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster #MaximumEnergy

@davesdogmaggie @allanb @judgement_dave it was pretty dang amazing

in _that_ way

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

I wonder what portion of the movie was archive footage? They were really padding it out there.

#Monsterdon

OK, well pretty much 50-50 was awful and funny

Thanks @Taweret and #monsterdon

LOL that was one hell of an ending, one for the history books

#Monsterdon

I forgot about the space monster. And he's in the title. #monsterdon

man where are you coming from you were already on the scene and were calling them to you #monsterdon

I assume the entire plot was based on what pieces of stock footage they could scrape together.

#Monsterdon

clearly the meeting between frankenstein and the space monster can't mean meeting in combat, the frankenstein seems to not be programmed for combat at all and actually that makes sense because he was supposed to be a research cyborg going to mars???? and the airforce is moving in ???? don't fucking tell me we are going to do a beauty and the beast' power of love' turn in the last 5 minutes #monsterdon

#Monsterdon F-104 Starfighter (the jet that was so bad Lockheed had to bribe Germany to buy it)

Yeah they've got five minutes left, The Robot vs. The Aztec Mummy may actually end up having a longer fight scene than this flick. #Monsterdon

"well, i guess i can just directly relay the totally unconfirmed message from some totally unconfirmed source to the general, if you say so" #monsterdon

Now we need a romantic scene where Dr. Science Man drives Frank around on the vespa

#Monsterdon

When mom makes you bring your little brother on your outing

#Monsterdon

"Code 24. Repeat. Code 24. Do you copy?" #monsterdon

Aha, the promised stock footage! 😂
All military.

#Monsterdon

"This is Code 24, General."

My god, Kiefer Sutherland is in the area! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon They're all very proud of that conveyor belt.

"What is your purpose here?"

...Chief, YOU kidnapped ME! #Monsterdon

My kind of party, standing around near a body of water making vaguely spasmy motions

#Monsterdon

TV's Dad of TV's Frank #monsterdon

the most important lesson i've learned from #monsterdon is that if you want a nice vacation, you just write a script that's set there, and invite a hundred of your closest friends, and call whatever results a movie.

And now, Roman Holiday! For some reason. #Monsterdon

Frank has some serious stealth skills

#Monsterdon

They. Are. Truly. Reading. Their. Lines.

#monsterdon

"To the beach! And bring some horses"

#Monsterdon

The dirty look on that Princess is giving me life

#Monsterdon

"Raise your arms. Now lower your arms"

Now flap as hard as you can, the ship needs to take off! #Monsterdon

It's just weird seeing sunny places in B&W....

This bikini scene better be going somewhere, I don't like how she's clearly out of his league unless he has money.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon they called him a metaphorical Frankenstein, I guess that's as good as we're gonna get :D

Devil Girl Meme: Did Someone Say Breeding Stock? #monsterdon

Oh my god I'm going to have to clip this Dr. Nadir monologue later

#Monsterdon

Mull roaring and gesturing in a cage immediately answered my questions of who is Mull

#Monsterdon

Lots and lots of plaster was harmed in the making of this film

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon
"Pollenization study"? That's why the space monsters are here?

Did you SEE that! A full 3 seconds of still frame.

Seriously this might be my favorite bad movie of all time and we’re only 20 minutes in.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon "Science and the military can accomplish anything"?!?

Uh, sir, the rocket was clearly marked NASA.

Seperately parts of the film are decent, but you you put them all together, giant shitsow. #monsterdon

I dunno, Steele makes a compelling argument for androids instead of astronauts.....

Will they allow that woman to speak though?

#Monsterdon

Checkhov's brain

#Monsterdon

Missed #monsterdon tonight because @k8eb, @_nadine , and a bunch of other miscreants were out watching Dogma (1999) at The Revue Cinema!

That hokey mess was a pleasure to watch together. Thanks, @Taweret for hosting, and to so many of you for the great screenshots. #Monsterdon

The space elves just jump Frank with no trouble at all... The titular is useless.
#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetstheSpaceMonster

@apLundell Princess Hat-To-Hide-My-Bat-Ears likes carrying her monster around for crew discipline, as shown earlier in the movie. "No more failures!" Some princesses and commanders are like that. #Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

"daddy how did you meet mommy?"

#Monsterdon

@L1vY@mstdn.social Birdemic's driving scenes have nothing on this movie!

Well, Birdemic still did give us those epic parking sequences. This movie did kind of fall short there.

#Monsterdon

@rallias This is the best encapsulation of #Monsterdon

Pool party... RUINED!
#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetstheSpaceMonster

The End. Thanks #monsterdon pals. Take care. See ya soon.

That was a load-bearing princess!

#Monsterdon

Why FULL POWER when you can have MAXIMUM ENERGY?!

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

this monster fight has been brought to you in Smoky-Vision(tm) #monsterdon

Cease Fire!

Nubile Bikini-clad women running into the target zone!

#monsterdon

I do like that the UFO is geodesic, it's a Buckminster Fuller wet dream :D #Monsterdon

Ha ha, I need a gif of that slow turn to the camera :D #Monsterdon

It has been pretty gutsy to make a scifi movie with rockets that takes place entirely on Earth

#Monsterdon

karen is so happy to see frank! #monsterdon

look, EPCOT's been parked so long weeds are growing around it. #monsterdon

"Scramble all jets"

That means a bunch of dudes pile into a station-wagon and then they roll more stock footage.

#monsterdon

Jet-age Jazz, man! #Monsterdon

"Thaats raaight, a SPACE. SHIP." #Monsterdon

Rock climbing, #monsterdon .

Calling it bingo

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Code twenty-four? Oh, why didn't you say so?

what the fuck is this thing? is this the space monster that the frankenstein has to meet? why do they have him? their vaporization rays and the womb squad seem to work just fine and are facing exactly zero resistance #monsterdon

Close call! Movie masterfully avoided passing the Bechdel test.

#monsterdon

Dr. Nadir (my beloved) has a smile that could launch a thousand ships (from Mars)

#Monsterdon

Quick, cover her in chenille!

#monsterdon

giggle giggle "PURIFICATION"

They're going to wash them in 99.44% pure Ivory soap!

#monsterdon

Soundtrack's gone kind of split personality here. #Monsterdon

Ooh! I want to go to a pool party.

(But with no people)

#Monsterdon

I'm not saying this is good, but it's entertaining. #monsterdon

needing to constantly calm karen down from falling in love with all the robots is just part of the job! #monsterdon

@ricci I wonder what the Spacemonster is doing right now

and also what it is

#Monsterdon
