Cut straight to technobabble and guys in space helmets, this movie isn't wasting any time

#Monsterdon

@rebeld 🙇

I'm a little tempted to replace the video in the original toot with the captioned one, but I dunno, it doesn't quite feel right

#Monsterdon

@Configures @ohiofi the enemy being "passing the bechdel test" presumably

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

How Monsterdoners think they look after making a a bad pun while critiquing bad films.
#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

@rebeld Whenever I manage to add captions, that's top of the list

#Monsterdon

The sound track for Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster was the best part.

Frankenstein Meets the Spacemonster (1965) - Soundtracks - IMDb https://share.google/VvWIZIrH2JkGsNElk

Couple of the credits stand out:

Bob Crewe was a producer with many hits over the years.

Trevor Duncan was a composer whose credits included both PLAN 9 and ED WOOD.

Their music perked up a movie that was doing its best to take seriously a satchelful of ideas that never quite jelled. Thanks everyone and thanks @Taweret for a fun
#Monsterdon .

@diazona they talk about how nuclear war isn't all that bad as long as you steal some babes afterwards

#Monsterdon

@Taweret I was strangely entertained. #monsterdon

Frank staying behind to mindlessly complete the genocide of the invading space aliens as they try to escape is kinda hard core. 👀

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

El telephone-o...
#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetstheSpaceMonster

@davesdogmaggie you cannot make this movie heterosexual

you cannot

i will not stand for it

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

Another great #Monsterdon in the can!

Thank you to @Taweret for hosting, @Cherizilla for #MonsterdonBingo, and to all of you for making it awesome!

Cheers!

Lol I love that this closing sequence shows pedestrians absolutely full on staring at the camera that's probably filming from the back of a truck. I mean, why wouldn't you stare? I would

#Monsterdon

Earth's breeding stock has been returned and the martians have been defeated. All is right with the world.

To the scooter!

Thank you everyone for a lot of fun, and thank you @Taweret for hosting. See you next week!

#Monsterdon

At this point I expect the Vespa to get its own Very Special Guest Appearance credit #Monsterdon

@Mikal

No, that's FOX News.

#Monsterdon

Thanks @Taweret for the event and @ryan for the stream!
#Monsterdon

@jonny But the important part is that they met

#Monsterdon

Saying this had a story, was a stretch.

#monsterdon

Boom - sudden ending.

And it's the big Roman Holiday wrap up scene behind the credits.

#Monsterdon

What

And I cannot emphasize this enough...

#Monsterdon

"This movie brought to you by 25% Stock Armed Forces Footage"

#monsterdon

Just imagine wanting to be in these credits for your frankenstein makeup

#Monsterdon

MOIVE OVER #monsterdon

Everything will be okay because Adam and Karen got the Vespa back

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

you can't fool me, those are _not_ EPCOT's boosters firing. #monsterdon

5 minute left when the title fight starts. Very aztec mummy.

#Monsterdon

okay, okay, we got Frankie. we got Space Monster. WE GOT FIVE MINUTES. #monsterdon

finally they meet! with 5 minutes to spare!

#monsterdon

we've secretly replaced your Vespa engine with a weed wacker. #monsterdon

All that firepower and they couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

#monsterdon

Ah, so nuclear weapons solve everything. Theeeee end. 💁🏻‍♀️

#Monsterdon

Frankie's got a gun... #monsterdon

Whoever's firing those rockets also has Stormtrooper-level aim

#Monsterdon

"Why did we land on a planet with nuclear weapons and milk androids?!"

#Monsterdon

This gets a 3.8 on IMDB. That seems at least 2 whole points too low. But my THC levels at the moment may be affecting my score....#monsterdon

@L1vY@mstdn.social Don't forget the space monster in the cage! That's uh... Really important somewhere coming up soon.

...

We don't have much time left, but I'm sure it is!

#Monsterdon

did they budget for stock footage by the pound? 🎞 #Monsterdon 🤖 #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

@davesdogmaggie nothing about this movie is impressive

other than princess and dr. nadir.

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

I love the smell of Puerto Rico in the morning.

#monsterdon

we are approaching "it was all a dream" ender timings. #monsterdon

A SPASE SHUP #monsterdon

(Man speaks foreign language)

How dare he, in his own country, the fiend...

#Monsterdon

Why take the Vespa, given that we've already established that running is faster?

#Monsterdon

The doctor will never be mistaken for The Ugly American. He's overqualified >_> #Monsterdon

The real star of this film is that Vespa Scooter
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Cessna L-19 "bird dog" recon plane, lil cutie

Space Lovitz is the Ian McDiarmid of this film. He understands EXACTLY how silly it is.

I love 'im

#monsterdon

Frank and the doctor doing some freelance gardening. #Monsterdon

this is not appropriate gyoza filling. #monsterdon

Night time at the party. Day time in the shrubs. Run, Karen, run! #Monsterdon

how much of this weird conveyer belt fetish are we going to stand for?

#Monsterdon

YA GOT TWENTY MINUTES, MOVIE

WHERE YA GOIN

#monsterdon

AMERICA! Moving soldiers! Launching helicopters! Loading things into aircraft! And ROTATING THEM! #Monsterdon

Code 24!

All right, I'll have all local forces round up all of the Frankenstein fanart they can find.

#monsterdon

"Gunfire and unusual civilians"

well isn't this just the USA in general?

#Monsterdon

I feel soiled by the Writer's Barely Concealed Fetish we are all enabling here....

#Monsterdon

Also theremin noises.

#Monsterdon

Every Alien that comes to Earth is a Sex Tourist. It's a law

#Monsterdon

WTF?!

“Let us go in and observe the…heh-heh-heh…purification.”

#Monsterdon

This film so cringe

#monsterdon

watch out everyone, womb squad just ran here on foot from ???? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon how many dudes do they fit in that geodesic dome ship??

Some tight pants in this scene....that's the way it's got to be

#Monsterdon

finally, dance scene! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Holy camel toe, Batman!

@ricci this "it's a meetcute" bit is one of my favorite created-on-the-fly #Monsterdon memes, well done everyone

he is not even a kaiju, conventional arms would probably be effective, you're going after a rogue frankenstein armed only with the doodad!? #monsterdon

IS THAT A SAW???? (the sound effects)

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetstheSpaceMonster1965

In all seriousness, this would be a great movie to watch on acid. #monsterdon

YouTube asked me if I wanted to proceed with this movie before I started since the "material may not be suitable for all audiences" 😂 #Monsterdon 👙 #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

“Love Theme on a Scooter” sequence sponsored by the Puerto Rico Tourism Board. Come to Puerto Rico! No actual spacemonster, honest! #monsterdon

For a movie called Frankenstein and the SpaceMonster, we're a bit low on Frankensteins and Space Monsters

#Monsterdon

@apLundell MUCH LIKE..... a FRANKENSTEIN!!!! #monsterdon

To be fair, if I got to tour Puerto Rico on a moped and all I had to do was appear in a shitty movie, I'd jump at the opportunity. #Monsterdon

K I don't think this romantic music is the right music for this scene

She clearly has the hots for Frank

#Monsterdon

"Karen, I have no time for your romantic relationship with my prototype milk android...."

#Monsterdon

It's James Karen's participation here that's really throwinng me for a loop. #monsterdon

Ohhhh there really IS a Phase Three 😬

#Monsterdon

it's not the cars the aliens are looking to molest, dude. #monsterdon

“Now stick your right foot in, and stick your right foot out, stick your right foot in, and shake it all about…”

#Monsterdon

Good job Dr Nadir (my beloved), satisfy that queen

#Monsterdon

I leave to take a call from @geistweg and I return to...whimsical beach music??

Ohhh...and a kidnapping.

#Monsterdon

I think I've been to fetish club where this happened....

#Monsterdon

Ha! He disappeared with an audible PING! He's going to Notions! :D #Monsterdon

Beach breeding stock alert!

#Monsterdon

Robot uses he/him pronouns, noted

#Monsterdon

They just assume they can breed with humanoids on another planet, it's so Kirk of them....

#Monsterdon

Maybe the real space monster was the one we built on earth all along

#Monsterdon

Bald guy also LOOKS like Jon Lovitz. Cannot unsee this 😆 #Monsterdon 🤖 #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster https://mastodon.social/@culturednyc/114809286805735848

oh a Monster!

Did not see that one coming...

#monsterdon

#monsterdon There will be only failures. That's what they do. They fail.

oh hell yeah space monster #monsterdon

All the aliens just chewing the scenery is amazing
#monsterdon

Dr. Nadir (my beloved) always talks like he has some secret to smugly reveal

#Monsterdon

Our alien friends seem uncertain about when they need a space helmet or don't.

#Monsterdon

Ok somebody mentioned those guns are children's toys and you used to be able to buy them and I kinda want one now. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon wow that makeup isn't perfect, but it's legit gruesome.

I like how they were so proud of that shot they put it in a freezeframe for like 10 seconds.
