I dunno what it is let's shoot it! #Monsterdon

Uh Oh. Danger Chorus. #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

#Monsterdon “What in the name of time is that?” said no actual person ever.

#Monsterdon This is why we taught our kids how to defend against alien influenced strangers.

If you shoot Orb Alien, does it pop like a balloon?

#monsterdon

"What in the name of Time is that?" Ah, I see the colonel keeps to ways of the Old Gods. #monsterdon

Wait is this a three Martian job? Brainiac and his two butlers?
#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

okay i super love Orb Alien

#monsterdon

men in weird full body suits? I feel like ive wandered into a Kanye West video

#monsterdon

"This is mankind developed to it's ultimate form. And these are its slaves." So, our ultimate evolutionary form involves casual slavery, huh? #monsterdon

The aliens bought their uniforms when Grinch costumes went on sale the day after Christmas. #monsterdon

glowing tube dowsing rod is actually a really good prop, it came through in the end #monsterdon

#Monsterdon All that tech and they didn't bother with a rover or monorail?

Who wore it better?

#monsterdon

whoa Dr. Woman Doctor showing some clavicle #monsterdon

okay Orb Alien rules

#TeamOrbAlien

#monsterdon

The MewTents in their plushie suits with their bubble room decor are no match for the US Army!

#monsterdon

That line on the martian's back! Maybe it's a weakness! Or maybe it's just the zipper... #monsterdon

👽 TRIVIA FROM MARS 🔴

The actor in the tall alien suit is the same guy who played Gort in The Day the Earth Stood Still.

#InvadersFromMars
#Monsterdon 🦖

That's mini -me in the glass jar

#monsterdon

Stop struggling; we just want to sacrifice you!

#monsterdon

You enter the spaceship through the asymmetric pole room #monsterdon

The Martians came prepared to blend in with everyone's couch.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

#Monsterdon Mars needs women!

They could really use the help of Santa Claus against the Martians right now. #Monsterdon

It's The Mieu Tahnts featuring the Big Giant Head! #Monsterdon

OOOOOhhhhh!!!!!

Unusual condenser types! Yes!!!

Those are Allihn type. Which I have actually never used! Cool, neato! My chemistry brain is happy now. Yay!

Love how they actually have something weird condensing in at least one of them. And they maybe have a weird side arm for running stuff back down? It almost but not quite looks like a soxhlet extractor between the flask and the condenser?

Writing this and I have totally lost the plot, I have no idea what's happening now...

#Monsterdon

Man, someone barfed balls all over the walls #Monsterdon

Mankind? The WRESTLER?!

#monsterdon

I bet gold shoulder-tentacles would be a source of gender euphoria #monsterdon

MEW TANTS! #monsterdon

FINALLY, Martians!

#Monsterdon

I AM OZ

#monsterdon

Proto Doctor Who aliens. With zippers up their backs

#Monsterdon

Not you. The hot one.

#monsterdon

Finally we're getting somewhere! ALIENS.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Prototype teletubbies #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Oh good. Someone knows how the wires are attached.

THE CHOIR! THE CHOIR! #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

Pro tip - the fused silica cave walls as the mute ants run past…

#Monsterdon #invadersfrommars

#Monsterdon

I've seen that fence. Dorothy hopped over it to let down the Scarecrow.

She is really giving off Mrs. Robinson vibes. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Balloons? We're gonna see the Killer Klowns soon?

Ground zero can be chilly, David #monsterdon

A full 40% of this film is telephone calls #monsterdon

I can jump down but you wimps can cone down by rope.

#monsterdon

Balloons? Are the Martians demonic clowns? #Monsterdon

Me, sweating over a disabled Hitachi Magic Wand: "If it hasn't been damaged, it should give off some kind of a vibration!"

#monsterdon #invadersfrommars

They brought explosives. They even brought stock footage. They mean business. #Monsterdon

Sargent Funston?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

I'm an amateur explosive expert but I'd say they were a little too close to that explosion.

Looking at those walls and thinking "I wonder how much they paid the guy who inflated all those condoms." #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Well, we know Dad wasn’t on the grassy knoll that day in November

#Monsterdon #invadersfrommars

Ohhh, bubbles! #monsterdon

@floatybirb the tanks are driving a lot, but don’t seem to be getting anywhere. #Monsterdon

(explosion)

... hundreds of body parts buried beneath the sand fall from the sky ...

#monsterdon

This is like Invasion of the Body Snatchers if there were like five minutes of body snatchers and then someone said, "let's have an hour of random military maneuvers."

#Monsterdon

ohh I hope we get to see some ridiculous puppetry in this cave..... #monsterdon

The tanks make sense if this were a movie named Invaders from Russia, so that's why there's called in now #monsterdon

#Monsterdon When dropping your pen saves your life.

I left to go pee, and now we appear to be going to war against a hill.
#Monsterdon

@DroidZOR you ever worked in a underfunded lab? i have. hallway lab is _very real_ xD

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

OMG Those bongs! #Monsterdon

"Both of 'em blown to bits. Yes sir. Little chunks mostly. No sir, we didn't- No sir. Sorry sir. We'll get the barbecue sauce ready at once, sir." #Monsterdon

#monsterdon See this is why you never help anyone. Where did Chivalry get anyone?

well honestly i think he would've hit that shot so martians are apparently not terrible snipers - that's not a great angle

but you'd think they'd know the concept of "high ground" what with the whole "having a flying saucer" thing

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

All the tanks arrive, and then everyone promptly jumps out and runs to the sand pit. #monsterdon

Right through the front door, just pretend to be out of gas

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon You couldn't get a backhoe? Did they spend it all on tanks?

#Monsterdon I think I had that chemistry set in middle school.

I wonder if that area is restricted in any way. #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Ha! The tanks from the stock footage don't match the ones parked on-set at all.

I'm sure a military hardware nerd could explain the difference, but they obviously aren't the same. #monsterdon

"I don't want them to die too. Kathy, well I don't care about her dying." #monsterdon

"I vill make this vorld's most effective bong! One of these four final designs will be the one, I know it!"

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

I love how they couldn't be assed to get military lights, and just used whatever studio lightning they had on hand. #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

"...sir, the tanks have the matte screen surrounded"

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Gotta say, the balance between sciencey-sounding gobbledygook, stock footage, and the annoying precocious kid being annoying is spot-on

Couldn't hope for more from a 50s alien invasion flick

#monsterdon

@ranjit @Taweret what if the cats ARE the Martians eh? What then?

#Monsterdon

Ok, we get it. You have tanks.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

There's always room for more stock footage #monsterdon

ah yes, Threatening Caissons, the remix. #monsterdon

"They'd be meaningless impulses to us"

Like a sudden desire to picnic, or shop at TJ Maxx. #Monsterdon

They haven't got to C-4 yet. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Remember kids, always pack your nitroglycerin on your trip out.

Have you tried nuking the sand pit choir? #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

The young scientist boy is now praying. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon someone put that kid to bed with some sedatives.

these two gomer pyle motherfuckers #monsterdon

sufferin' cats

#monsterdon

The kid can hear the chorus in the soundtrack!?
#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Damn Martians poleaxing everyone :blobglare: #Monsterdon

@bunnyhero @Taweret I suspect Poland is involved #monsterdon

And he PUNCHES THE SAND with his riflebutt, good job Brickface. #Monsterdon

he fell down as if he'd been poleaxed

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

That kid needs some acting lessons. I don't believe he does care about the fate of parents.

Look how melted that sand is!

#monsterdon
#InvadersFromMars

really got our money out of the Patriotic Music and the stock footage, didn't we... #monsterdon

I guess cars were more explodey back then

#monsterdon

Oh, the aliens give you some new kind of body piercing. #monsterdon

@allanb Hey, sticking a bit of metal in someone’s brain isn’t brain surgery…. Oh.

#Monsterdon
