The aliens also get to use nasa stock footage I see #monsterdon

Even Ed Wood had models.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

There goes your quarterly performance bonus, Bat-Boy.

#Monsterdon
#FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

Destroy what? Him? The ship? The planet?

#Monsterdon

wait did this entire movie just turn into SeaQuest?! #monsterdon

#monsterdon The pilot was prematurely ejected!

...those are not retro rockets.

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

#Monsterdon roll that beautiful nasa stock footage <3

Dr. Nadir is a bumbling fool.

#Monsterdon

I Dream of Genie music cued #Monsterdon

Oh my God her dress... she hasn't stood up until now.

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster1965

I’m choosing to believe he’s actually Nardol in disguise #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🇵🇷 🧟‍♂️☄️ 🌌 👾 😱

This space princess spacecraft captain is clearly important she wears a cool hat, sits in a lounge chair, has sparkly make up and never uses contractions!

Oh cool escape tower sequence. These guys are really digging into the early space film archive.

#Monsterdon

Did they just go and use even more stock footage?

What was their budget? Like $5?

#Monsterdon

I had to get up and wash my hands because I was eating tim tams and my fingers got sticky. I hope I didnt miss too much stock footage

#Monsterdon

"We can rebuild him. We can make him better than before. Better. Faster. Stronger." #Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

#monsterdon This Doors inspired band is grooving pretty hard- note I'm deliberately not listening to the lyrics so I can't speak to their quality...

How is this movie going to go anywhere if they keep blowing up rockets before achieving orbit?

:thonkery:

#monsterdon

ah, yeah, this is the capsule parachuting back.

so humanity gets to discover the robot instead.

#monsterdon

stand by (suffocating)

#monsterdon

#monsterdon You fool! That was obviously a spacecraft, not a missile! Oh, you can tell them apart?

was not expecting Launch Escape System in this movie but I'm happy to have it

#Monsterdon

Looks like an early Mercury abort test. Also STOCK FOOTAGE ALERT

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

Let me pull my helmet off so I can really huff that smoke.
#monsterdon

So they're just gonna lose the expensive android pre-Steve Austin expensive experiment in the ocean?

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster1965

It's nice to see a-- man? person? Alien? Taking such pride in his work. #monsterdon

And now enjoy watching... What I'm gonna say is a badminton shuttlecock tied to a balloon? #Monsterdon

Whoops, I take that back #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon TOM SERVO!

"Use emergency escape equipment!"
astronaut immediately removes his helmet

I don't think that's going to help.

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

First thing to do in a smoky cockpit is to remove your helmet #monsterdon

Bat-Boy certainly enjoys his job with Queen Arachnia.

#Monsterdon
#FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

Activating space sonar!

#Monsterdon

“And now—maximum energy!” #Monsterdon

Wait, was the "maximum energy" scene so good that they just put it in here again?

#Monsterdon

God, that music is horrible! No wonder women want to leave,

#Monsterdon

Something about the way Nadir says "Princess" comes off as condescending #monsterdon

Why does emergency escape equipment require taking your helmet off?

#monsterdon

Nadir is the zenith of smugness #Monsterdon

this is the Dark Eldar army you play as an extreme prude

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🇵🇷 🧟‍♂️☄️ 🌌 👾 😱

So in 65 they had stock footage from which NASA missions exactly?

this explosion pleases Dr. Nadir. #monsterdon

The lines on the screen are not aligning with the other lines on the screen. This means bad things. #Monsterdon

Wait, the emergency procedure is to take out the helmet?
#monsterdon

"yup, we blew up that one real good. REAL good!"

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

That light bill gone be high af! "And now... MAXIMUM ENERGY." Again. #monsterdon

If all electrical systems have malfunctioned how is the radio working?

#monsterdon
#FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

Signal lost, but the cameras were still running? This isn't like one of those telemetry things

#Monsterdon

Cut, Paste
#monsterdon

Oh boy, they played the bit of nosferatu saying "AND NOW....MAXIMUM ENERGY" twice, didn't they?

#Monsterdon

Oh, they're cooking the hot dog D: #Monsterdon

i’m pretty sure that’s 100% the same “maximum energy” line read from before #monsterdon

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Use emergency escape equipment! As opposed to the normal escape equipment.

Sir, I don't think you're going to get much energy out of this junker.

#Monsterdon
#FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

As a princess, I too hang out on the bridge of a small picket ship with a Nosferatu to interdict the locals' exploration attempts.

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

Is the princess segment stuck in a time loop? #monsterdon

So far I am rooting for Dr. Nadir

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Count Orlock here is just super satisfied with his job.

Grand vizier Billy Corgan is stuck in a time loop #monsterdon

"Maximum Energy!" Woo! Bat Boy loves that phrase.

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

Did nobody tell Count Orlok that you aren't supposed to look at the camera

#monsterdon

This movie was ten years of groove ahead of its time

#Monsterdon

Look! It’s Those Who Must Be Kept!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🇵🇷 🧟‍♂️☄️ 🌌 👾 😱

Oh no 'malfunctions in every electrical system' 'all systems no-go' --> that's gonna be a nice coy evil chuckle opportunity I'm thinking

~ramming speed~ MAXIMUM ENERGY!! #monsterdon

Where's the drunk cameraman? There's supposed to be a drunk cameraman!

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

"We've proven again that science and the mililtary can achieve the impossible."

Except a good film plot, right?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon That alien princess doesn't mess around. Rocket launch? Yeah, take it down. 4 for 4 so far. They don't even suspect anything other than a malfunction.

It's Bat Boy from the Weekly World News!

#Monsterdon

MAXIMUM ENERGY!

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

and now… MAXIMUM ENERGY (2)

HAHA, FUCK YES

#Monsterdon

More successful than the average SpaceX launch! #Monsterdon

The famous goof scene showing the second hands going backwards. I am satisfied #monsterdon

Bat Boy! #monsterdon

are we sure Dr. Nadir(?) isn't Jeff Goldblum? #monsterdon

"science and the military can accomplish the impossible"

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

Much like the rocket, the pilot's brain was built by the lowest bidder. #Monsterdon

Meanwhile, in another movie

#Monsterdon

Yay! More Bat Boy!

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

As a patchwork cyborg with half a brain and vacuum tube in it's head, I suggest we

{PITCH DOWN THE NOSE 180 DEGREES}

#Monsterdon
#FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

#Monsterdon Hang on, I need to get some smoke damage!

Oh, Fester Addams is going at it again!
#monsterdon

running a bit fast for a second, aren't ya? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

We skipped ahead to the musical interlude.

#monsterdon

beautiful atom? more than just the one!

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

Technobabble is go!

#Monsterdon

hahaha what do you mean our popular music will age awkwardly, we're white people in the 1960s

#monsterdon

engage bus station radio systems! #monsterdon

Is that the Zombies or the Guess Who? 😜 #Monsterdon

@littlemiao I have it on "good" authority that neither Frankenstein nor his monster appear in this film, so... 🤷

#Monsterdon

That was "That's the Way (It's Got To Be)" by Nasty Nick and the Boys. Cheap Trick is up next! #monsterdon

Roger, Roger #Monsterdon

Honestly I’m captivated by this launch sequence.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Is Dr Nadir related to Jeff Goldblum or am I just seeing things?
