The bulbous head, the hairy sack underneath…

Grange is very representative of the film. Radioactive, and wandering aimlessly.

If pointing the Geiger counter at Granger measures 740 Roentgens, doesn’t that mean he is *emitting* 740 R, not that he was *exposed to* 740 R? Like perhaps he is contaminated with radioactive dust measuring 740 R?

#monsterdon I mean, I realize that they think the wind is in their favor or whatever.

But in the event of nuclear war, I would still recommend at least closing the windows, and not going outside for long romantic strolls.

is it good when a plot abruptly jumps 3 weeks into the future because the writers can't really think of any way to move the story along naturally

What's in a name?
All promotional materials for tonight's feature, including the All-Important TV Guide, use the title "Year 2889." But, as you saw, the onscreen credits are actually "In the Year 2889."

Similar attention to detail was applied to every facet of our film.

I award 0 out of 5 brilliantly lit night time swimming pools.

The most you can say for it is that some stuff happened in it. The most you can say for the characters is that some of them sometimes approached being almost likeable. The monster threat was rather unthreatening.

So, we should also watch THE DAY THE WORLD ENDED (1955), right?

To see the less-bad Corman movie this one was ripping off?

What!? And it's over? Ha!

And the missing foley/sound-effects didn't even get the pivotal gunshots that wrapped up the movie! Ha ha.

There's probably an Internet Libertarian out there who has a blog that puts "In the Year 2889" on an online list of movies with important political themes.

#monsterdon Wild, in some of the prints, these scenes are completely blue-gel-for-night.

So I had a whole joke prepared "I wonder what my L and M cones on my retinas are doing right now, I know the S cones are getting buttered" but maybe 1/3 of y'all would even know what I meant due to the lack of blue-vision :/

"This is where I start to peel!"

If her skin came off, and she started eating people, that would be great.

I think I'm only picking up on 75% of the eugenics subtext of this movie, and am possibly missing some side story where the low-born poor people lack virtue and so will doom their social betters or something.

It's been three weeks and they're out of fresh water. So he had water for two people for… a few months, at the outside?

I guess since there's a source nearby you don't need that much, but hm

Outside a bird is flying and a mutant klingon is skulking in the jungle.

Meanwhile, inside the dumbass bedroom, two of the surviving boys are saying they heard coyotes (probably radioactive) and one of them is sick of canned food and wants to eat meat.

We then see the ranger outside being stalked by a mutant klingon.
