wow i honestly haven't seen a train wreck that abruptly in a _long_ time

THAT'S ALL THE MOVIE THERE IS

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

That was SPECTACULAR! And no denouement! We're back to basics here. Thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting! Have a great week Beautiful Mutants! #Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

"FULL POWER"

wait what happened to "MAXIMUM ENERGY"

#Monsterdon

That was an abrupt ending. #Monsterdon

I often comment on the lack of denouement in #monsterdon movies, but this time I wasn’t even certain the climax was over before the credits hit.

Credits also sponsored by the Puerto Rico Tourism Board!

And they fucked off in a million pieces in the atmosphere of Earth, while Jay and the Americans sing us off in their most shitty of Beatles impersonations.

#Monsterdon

She ain't getting over Frank, sod the romantic music, it's over Steele

#Monsterdon

and they all fucked off into a gigantic explosion / romantic vespa ride #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Vespa guy finally shows up!😅

Frank dies.

MOVIE OVER.

what the hell?

#monsterdon

And they scootered happily ever after!

#monsterdon

@saucerlost

Use your words, guys!

#Monsterdon

Full power? Don’t you mean “maximum energy” ???
#monsterdon

I think the space monster is just misunderstood. He's merely seeking some dental care.

#Monsterdon

C'mon Dr. Nadir, you know what you need to do to escape Earth's atmosphere! MAXIMUM ENER--

<HUGE KABOOM>

Or not. And that's the end!

#Monsterdon

THEY IGNITED THE STOCK FOOTAGE!

#Monsterdon
#FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

the best way to hail a vehicle while in distress is just to fall across the road like roadkill

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Makeup budget was spent on helicopters instead.

oh, and they're actually fighting! wow, this movie was more than i expected. #monsterdon

filmed in fog-o-vision for good reason

something's got to hide those seams

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

Anyone else notice the alien space ship is a TARDIS? It's exponentially larger on the inside than the outside.

Maybe someone mentioned this earlier, but I missed it.

#Monsterdon

Mull looks like he should play bass for Gwar

#monsterdon

Ron Howard voice That's the name of the show!

okay so no one actually said it but we all know it

#Monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

🧟‍♂️ TRIVIA MEETS THE SPACEMONSTER

Director Robert Gaffney added, after filming ended, scenes of Col. Frank Saunders/Frankenstein fighting Mull the Space Monster to the end.

But he couldn't afford bringing back the actors, so he himself and a crew member stood in for the two creatures for the fight. Gaffney played Saunders ("Frank").

#FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster 🧟‍♂️

I swear, that F-104 is using AAMs, not air to ground rockets

#Monsterdon

FINALLY the Space Monster makes an appearance!

...You literally have four minutes for this fight -_-;;; #Monsterdon

i see the aliens have florescent tube lighting, maybe they're not that advanced a species after all

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

OH WAIT. I didn't realize that Karen was tied up and that actually gave me a bingo! Diagonal from top left to bottom right. About damn time!

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster1965

Women leaving like "I thought this was some weird sex thing, but they just made us stand in a cell for 12 hours."

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

"Do as we say or we'll use the dildo-guns on you...!"

#Monsterdon

“Frank, how many B’s are in the word watermelon?”
#monsterdon

@cs definitely capturing that as a gif later

#Monsterdon

Evacuate?! In our moment of triumph?!

#monsterdon

But what if the rockit hits the robit? #monsterdon

“They have nuclear weapons, and if they use them, we are finished.”

It’s good to understand the gravity of the situation here. Puerto Rico is about to be nuked for one alien spacecraft.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I laughed SO HARD when the vespa just drive into combat with a spacecraft..

We must leave immediately!

Commence synchronized chair spin manoeuvre!

#monsterdon

Please actually be consistent in your stock footage. Or pull a Toho and use models?

#Monsterdon

Don't worry, Dr Adam Steele, I don't think they're really trying that hard to destroy that spaceship.

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

Bat Boy and Princess slowly turn from facing each other to looking into the camera.

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

I feel bad Karen is trapped in this film #monsterdon

Take 2 rocket barrages and call me in the morning.

#monsterdon

When the first contact protocol was written by Henry Kissinger

#Monsterdon

oh they're just gonna bomb the shit outta it, I guess.

that's a resolution.

#monsterdon

Look, I've seen Dr. Nadir and I don't think you need tanks to stop him. Just a spray bottle filled with water will probably do the trick. #monsterdon

“El telephono”. You racist fuck #Monsterdon

points to Karen for faking still being unconscious tho. she might be the smartest person in this film, for whatever that's worth. #monsterdon

So apparently the US military really wanted to be associated with this movie, which.....says something

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

Have we entered the Korean War footage portion of the film?

#Monsterdon

Meanwhile, in Bermuda

#monsterdon

Good thing the alien blasters have lanyards on them, wouldn’t want to lose one of those.

#Monsterdon

They're gonna reveal the space robot's full name at some point, and it's gonna be Frank N. Stein isn't it?

#monsterdon

Oh the Princess is into it. Maybe the space elves are all bisexuals? That improves their odds.
#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetstheSpaceMonster

drilling for more agent orange drops i see

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

Weren't these the same helicopters they used in Vietnam?

#Monsterdon

Wait, the aliens just overwhelm Frank? How disappointing

#Monsterdon

Carrying him up that handrailless stair was probably the most dangerous stunt in this movie so far #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🇵🇷 🧟‍♂️☄️ 🌌 👾 😱

So there are about 12 mins left in this movie and Frankenstein [sic] has not yet meet the Space Monster.

#Monsterdon

Fun fact.

Adam Steele went on to sell gas station boner pills.

"El telephone-o!"

Any excuse to post Davila 666's cover of "Hanging on the Telephone": https://youtu.be/cuy0ZLanLao?t=28 🇵🇷

#Monsterdon

obviously dr. nadir and princess are the best two characters in the film, but honestly, number three is the vespa, I see that's why they gave it so much screen time

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

clearly someone is an acolyte of the Ed Wood method of editing film

#Monsterdon

To the action vespa!

#Monsterdon

Frank's a bit of a Streisand when it comes to fighting the ICE snatch squad! #Monsterdon

Jets-a-go-go #Monsterdon

ah, the FU series jets.

teehee.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

"Scramble all jets. Cook the bombers over easy" #Monsterdon

If there's one complaint I have about modern science fiction it's that they rarely, if ever, scramble the jets. #monsterdon

My high school son leaves tomorrow for a 2-week trip to Europe with the school band. I love him so much I am missing #monsterdon to help him pack. Kids never fully grasp the sacrifices we make for them.

Scramble all jets music!

#monsterdon

It's like the keystone cops air force

#monsterdon

The actors for both Princess Marcuzan and Colonel Frank have stills from this movie as their IMDB profile pictures

#Monsterdon

MOVE ZIG

#monsterdon

Tearing up the grass with his jeep... #monsterdon

Why do so many people in movies disbelieve the alien landing when Roswell NM can keep up a great tourist economy for years? #Monsterdon

Wait, that's not the same plane as before

#Monsterdon

"Roll your eyes when you say 'spaceship.' No, keep them inside your head, please." #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🇵🇷 🧟‍♂️☄️ 🌌 👾 😱

"Scramble the jet!" ????

This was Homeland Security in 1964

#monsterdon

Priority one? #monsterdon

“Don’t try to talk anymore, just keep quiet and follow me” never go to a second location with a creepy cis male scientist, Frank 😱 #Monsterdon

Title drop? Sorta kinda half of it... But why? He is not a Frankenstein. He's an Incredible Melting Terminator Astronaut.
#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetstheSpaceMonster

sir, nothing about this movie has been fantastic, not even in the 1950s sense. #monsterdon

Robo Frank puts the Frank in Frankenstein… get it? 🤣🤣
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Petey the Plane stars in "You're in the army now!"

“Have you got a telephone?”

“Cerveza?”

‘Cause that’s clearly what he said.

#Monsterdon

el telephon-o. wow, what if that guy dies. #monsterdon

If only telephone were a cognate in whatever language they speak in Puerto Rico #monsterdon

All your surf bass are belong to us

#monsterdon

"el telephone-o" buddy you are so close to accidentally being correct

#Monsterdon

There is something very anti-climactic about the hero speeding off on a moped. #Monsterdon #frankensteinmeetsthespacemonster1965

come on now, we've already proven Frank's good at killing things, AND Karen like him, why not let him go and rescue Karen. #monsterdon

@bunnyhero working on it

#Monsterdon

Not Code 24!!! #Monsterdon

"let's see if there's any other Earth devices in her satchel" YEAH A BOMB, BITCH. *WHAM* #monsterdon

Karen didn't get back to the cave....

#monsterdon

Rude of them to keep calling this woman a Karen.

#monsterdon

Are these different ladies or are they running them through again? #Monsterdon
