A little late to today’s #Monsterdon , but man, I love those intro credits. This is one of my favorite classic sci-fi flicks

david just has an in with the local astronomers, huh. i think i might almost like this kid. #monsterdon

Oh there goes mom, anyway.

And here's the one we saw falling in before. Her eyes look completely normal. Nothing strange at all.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “Girl smirks at fire scene” meme spotted in the 1950’s!

Looks like the gas station guy dressed up for either an alien invasion or a hot date with the oil change machine. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Why are the adults many so condescending to this kid? Oh, yeah, it's the 1950s.

this kid needs to get all the kids together - pee-wee, nancy, sluggo...

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

What's this guy gonna do, pump gasoline on the aliens? #monsterdon

y'all the desynchronization in the movie is way more severe than i thought, some of y'all must have gotten the original non-extended version #monsterdon

Kid's skipping ahead, you don't go to the Onett police station this early. He's gotta beat up Frank first. #Monsterdon

@trixter Kinky. I guess "alien holes" are more fun.
#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Kathy's on her meds #monsterdon

Everyone who can help young David is out until this afternoon. Odd coincidence.

#Monsterdon

Kid's seen some major shit, and when things continue to not go his way, all he can muster up is "Oh gee." #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

the fire department won't help. with a fire. okay. #monsterdon

kid, i'm a gas station attendant, what tf are you talking about #monsterdon

This is an awful lot of set-up. I wonder if the movie plans to have events soon

#Monsterdon

He's taking her to the sand pits as a snack. #Monsterdon

Alien dad kinda jerk !
#Monsterdon

wow that was a creepy smile. I like it

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

That kid does a lot of running around. It must be all of the Wheaties he eats. Gives a growing boy fighting Martians the energy he needs to fight house fires and to contact secret government labs.

Kid's nose looks like a ram air intake from a jet fighter. #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

Kid just leaves his telescope in the dirt? :( #monsterdon

#monsterdon Is this a sequel to the Dennis the Menace TV show?

Based on the description of this film, I think I was expecting a lot more whimsy and a lot less dread. #monsterdon

Mrs. Wilson! Something terrible has happened just off screen!

#Monsterdon

this is the mother of that girl with the housefire meme

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

#monsterdon Romantic Promenades to the sand sinkhole

Oh, random pedestrian.

#Monsterdon

That's impossible we keep our spare gasoline in the garage.

Something about that sounds wrong, even though it's probably the right thing to do?

#Monsterdon

Taking grumpy before coffee to another level.

But the mark on the back of the neck is the next creepiest thing to the tail behind the ear from that episode of ST:TNG

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Holy shit! That smile after she said, "No, mama." Yikes!

What George needs is some strong coffee and a smoke #monsterdon

sneaky quicksand #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Is that a young Eddie Redmayne? #Monsterdon

Was that Mom or some random pedestrian??

#Monsterdon

No Mama...oh yes Mama. #monsterdon

Oh we do enjoy a nice creepy little girl :D #Monsterdon

"Your son, he said he's going over to Andy's."

Not our son. Yours.

🚩

#Monsterdon

"Nothing Mother. I am a normal Earth worm baby." #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

bro do not spray a gas fire with water #monsterdon

The number of Men In Black jokes on the timeline is too damn...perfect #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

these sets are...interesting
#monsterdon

@moira It's not the one I'd want to be invaded on #monsterdon

"I want you to come outside first. Something I want to show you."

His antlion friends, one assumes.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

I was starting to worry this whole movie was gonna take place in these people's sandy front yard #monsterdon

She saw that dress in the window and just couldn't resist it. #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

wow, dad's a real dick ever since he came back from the alien sinkhole #monsterdon

I love when people fall into the alien holes, just "Whee!" #monsterdon

This child abuse brought to you by Maxwell House

#monsterdon #invadersfrommars

“Get over to Andy‘s house and play there.”

“But dad, Andy’s 75.”

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Oh no! He's showing her something outside! The HORROR!!

Oh. Alien George is out of line. #Monsterdon

What a lovely matte painting they have back at home, huh?
#monsterdon

I keep waiting for George to start demanding sugar water.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Definite more Invasion of the Body Snatchers vibes to this one #monsterdon.
(RIp the late great Donald Sutherland)

#Monsterdon That hair would have taken her some time to style. How long has he been waiting?

👽 TRIVIA FROM MARS 🔴

The special effects here were created by well-known experts. Plenty of attention was paid to details like depth of scene.

This was to go with the 3D camera that never materialized. Still holds up though.

#Monsterdon 🦖

@Taweret@octodon.social In the 50s? If the kid isn't missing limbs, it's fine. (Let's not go back to that.)

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

oh no i dress like a kid from the 1950’s #monsterdon

OMG George, no ☹

#Monsterdon

What happened to your neck?

You hush and take your blue pill, son.

#monsterdon

"Get over to Andy's house and play there. Your mom and I are going to... entertain some neighbors..." #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

#monsterdon Mary Dump this asshole I don't CARE if he's an alien.

"Come outside first. I need to be dramatic at you." #Monsterdon

Oh! I know this one. Captain Picard has to fly to San Francisco to shoot an admiral until he explodes.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Yikes, domestic violence from mind controlled ass. Cops have actually improved due to becoming robots.

The reverse sand funnel is so simple but so creepy. #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

My mom, watching mom get taken "There goes mom! You're on your own kid!"

#monsterdon #invadersfrommars

@RobynGoodfellow His one relatable trait! #monsterdon

There's something I want to show you - it's a superior life-form! And it's got a vocal chorus!

#monsterdon

Oh no the aliens hit dad with a Stanley Kowalski laser!!!

#Monsterdon

And right about now the Martians are noticing that their liquor cabinet is empty.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

#monsterdon What important work could the cops have? Ticketing jaywalkers?

George is a mite angry and violent too.

Cop refusing coffee - a very bad sign.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

The chorus of ominous voices anytime they get near the ship is certainly a choice.

A little Witcher 3 unlocked a new map, a little "stampede, Simba's down there!", and a dash of that bonfire from Portrait Of A Lady On Fire

#Monsterdon

Seriously, though, what's so great about the quicksand pit out back of the house? It's the hottest place in town, apparently.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

George is the farmer from Men In Black, now. #Monsterdon

"Gosh, he never barks orders when he's had his coffee at home..." #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

#Monsterdon Kid detective is on the case.

I SAID NO SHOE QUESTIONS, WOMAN

#Monsterdon

Dubious milestone of the first #monsterdon movie I've seen where an adult harms a child. Came close with the atomic brain guy, but he took his bad brain anger out on the doll.

yes, officer, that's my husband. please arrest him for child abuse now. thank you

#monsterdon

Pod person Dad is REALLY into that coffee. #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Dad has been infected by the aliens from TNG's "Conspiracy".

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

They perfectly copied the behavior of a 50s dad

Edit: and also 50s cops on a domestic violence call

To be fair, I often walk around with one sock.

On days when the floor is too cold to be completely sockless, but two warm to wear both of them.

#monsterdon

COFFEE!!!!

And I said PERIOD.

#monsterdon #invadersfrommars

George is back, one-shoed, grumpy, and ready for coffee. Stat.

Got hisself a nasty antlion bite on the back of his neck, too.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

70% of all domestic abuse incidents are caused by alien parasites. Little known fact. #Monsterdon

They have important work
Yeah, You Too
I know, we all know we are Martians!
#Monsterdon

The Martians turned George into an incel #monsterdon

Damn aliens, don't make this guy hit his kid! Boo! #monsterdon

#monsterdon “I’m very serious about seeing Bill Wilson.”

#Monsterdon Oh god, we’re back to “Scientists madly seek coffee.”

using the reaction of the timeline to the slap as a way to resynchronize my copy of the movie #monsterdon

Wow, Alien George is an ASSHOLE. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Oh, for the days we could bitch slap the younguns around. Those were the days!

#monsterdon don't talk to him before he has his coffee

Cops doing a realistic job of being patronizing and dismissing her concerns, then immediately trying to give up on the search

#Monsterdon
