oh no they found us. we probably shouldve made any attempt to hide

#monsterdon

um... news flash lady, petrified is a kind of afraid

Unless you meant the kind where you turn to stone but I'm assuming this is not that movie

#Monsterdon

In particular, the Dnyarri are a race of psychic brain-frog things that use their powers to take over entire planets. By the time of SC2 they've been effectively neutralized by the Ur-Quan and turned into their "talking pet" mouthpieces, but part of SC2's endgame plot is that you befriend (or at least, form an alliance with) a Dnyarri that has managed to escape their suppression field and use it to get past the Ur-Quan defenses.

#monsterdon And this is where Freddy Kreuger set up shop. It's all connected… 🎶 New York Telephone 🎶

ACAB

#Monsterdon

why is there a murder bed in this boiler room

#monsterdon

HAH! Alien overmind from the first film with the cameo. #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

is that an octopus in that bubble over there?
#monsterdon

Why does she think the school would be a good place to hide? That seems like one of the worst places to hide. #Monsterdon

Ooo a little easter egg, that was

#Monsterdon

ugh. why is there a tatty bed down there....is this normal in US schools, for some kind of boiler man to live in there?

#monsterdon

@brooke good thing those old buses had a 350cc V-8 and no seatbelts

#monsterdon

Lol they were hiding from the cops just out in the open?!?!?!?! What the hell

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon This is a movie about Children being forced to grow up too early the parentification of 10-year-old boys in this essay I will....

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

These women are very good at always carrying their purses I see

Kudos to the movie, this scene is properly tense.

#monsterdon

I love how the police are always the first to become pod people independent of the movie #monsterdon

#Monsterdon oh no, too late nvm

In the 80's everybody just had to have a hideout ready to go

#Monsterdon

Supreme Martian Intelligence. #Monsterdon

1) Why is there a cot in the basement of the school?

2) What happened to the owner of those crutches?

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

i appreciate how they are willing to share power and respect each other but i think this woman needs to take a little bit of control when the kid is leading you into the dead end boiler room and just sitting on a bench as the hiding spot #monsterdon

#Monsterdon time to fast and furious the schoolbus and save the kids

#Monsterdon this is JUST like when Dr. Seward got his doubts about Lucy being a vampi--

Do you want Freddy Krueger Cause that's how you get Freddy Kruegers. #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Mad Dog, save us from these characters, please

#Monsterdon

Better go hide in Freddy Krueger's house!

#monsterdon

lol STOP TRYING TO ACT AND JUST LEAVE, PLEASE

#monsterdon

What happens when Martians meet Freddy Krueger?

Let's find out.

#Monsterdon

this movie was written by a guy with a massive crush on his school nurse, wasn't it.
#monsterdon

Did you... Did you just drop a baseball bat on that poor kid and give away your position?!

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

#Monsterdon now *that's* a ssh tunnel. shut them right up

Teacher-mom to the rescue #monsterdon

We'll be safe in this serial killer's living room #monsterdon

@bangskij On this episode of Detectorists...

#monsterdon

Roll in the tanks already

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon wait, is this Nightmare on Elm Street?

Lol do they really think the FBI is going to help??? #monsterdon

And because I've also seen Fallout 3 being played recently, I'm also totes going "WATCH OUT FOR RADROACHES" as David and the nurse go down into the boiler room!

#Monsterdon

wtf is this a set from nightmare on elm street???

#monsterdon

Whoops, failed the Move Silently check. I think the DM screwed them on that one. #Monsterdon

I joked about it earlier, but it really seems like across the board every actor is super aware of their arms while they move in this film #monsterdon

Wow, they really are determined to check all the 80s horror movie boxes, aren't they?

#monsterdon

I really do not care if they survive this alien takeover, to be honest.

As much as this movie is doing to make the antagonists more threatening and uncanny than the original, it has totally sapped any likeability out of the protagonists

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

convertable Chrysler Seabring?

@himbovoorhees Should we tell them to try fire? It wouldn't do any good, would it?! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "what about you, you guys found anything?" "we ain't found shit"

"shh!"
proceeds to slide open Very Noisy Door
#monsterdon

"Come on, this way! Let's hide by.... sitting on this comfy bench."

#monsterdon

Follow the kid, your hiding place was immediately discovered by the cops

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

that tracking shot following the detectorists was beautiful #monsterdon

@mattgriffin That is like the scariest 10 seconds in the whole movie and also the funniest.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

They would have still been selling leaded gas at this Chevron 😱 😱 😱 😱

Guys will say "I know a place" and then lead you on the run from alien bodysnatchers #monsterdon

#monsterdon Common core educators often times will just pull truant youth right out of a car into their doom bus. It's all part of the new way they do things in education these days.

"I don't know where to go?"

Grown lady has no concept of the world more than a few blocks outside of the school.

:facepalm:

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon None of you people have those blocky brick 80s? (or maybe it was 90s) cellphones to call the FBI with?

#Monsterdon LMAO WTF

Ok, unless you have a pad of anesthetic in your hand shouldn't the kid be fighting more?

At least he escaped though.

#Monsterdon

I think I know where the nightmares come from now #monsterdon

We keep coincidentally seeing close ups of the nurse's license plate, does it mean something?
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Quick sand.
They always warned us about quick sand.

Y'know, I was gonna make a joke about how this teacher's most dangerous foe is a ten year old kid, but... I mean, that's not really unusual, is it. #Monsterdon

Oh no not the field trip!!! #monsterdon

Wonderful chase scene. Bold, going on foot

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

Detectorists into the quicksand twirly 🙀

aww...

#monsterdon

Louise Fletcher was a freaking goddess. She's so great in this. #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

That was a very cool quicksand effect #monsterdon

I'm sure there are SOME men in suits we can call that will fix this whole thing. #monsterdon

Mom has reached the "cross-eyed screaming" stage of fear.

#monsterdon

HBO also remade Invaders from Mars recently, they called it "The Last Season of Barry" #monsterdon #iykyk

#Monsterdon 2END395. Something tells me the California DMV wouldn't approve this license plate

Right! We can hide... back at the school we already paid to rent for a day!

#monsterdon

i know that this is "the whole point" and "everybody feels this way" but it is such a serious psychological weight off my mind when the protagonist who sees something that nobody else sees gets even one person who believes them. the anxiety of being alone is like 75% of the anxiety of horror movies to me #monsterdon

@msh @Louisa front-runner for meme of the week

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

Detectorists!

Fletcher damn near ripped that child’s head off. #Monsterdon

Man, I had a teacher like that in 3rd grade. No alien assimilations, but MAN she would just straight up grab you. Very rude. #Monsterdon

Fantastic creature effects. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Look he couldn't go on the field trip because his parents didn't sign the permission slip

yes, police? i would like to report some Mr Potato heads pulling people into sand and- hello? hello?

#monsterdon

Karen Black deserved a GT though.

#monsterdon

This movie is 500% better than the original.

#Monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 "Although what the elephant was doing in his pants... " #Monsterdon #WrongMovie #WrongQuote

Ope not even going to try to save the kids

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

"Who are you calling?" GHOSTBUSTERS! #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

"What am I gonna do now!?"

Well, I think it's safe to say you've failed that class, kid. Summer school's not that bad. #Monsterdon

Field trip of the damned. #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

#Monsterdon Is the mean teacher even licensed to drive a schoolbus?

#monsterdon Team update: SCHOOL NURSE loyalty stat has been restored to 100% :trek_voy_janeway:

Fun fact*: That cop is Alex Trebek's older brother.

*Lie

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 2END (and something else I didn't catch)

where could it be, not this conspicuous recently dug sand area???

#monsterdon

These are clearly expert metal detectors look at how quickly they can metal detect

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Sucked into the sand pit finally an ode to the classic #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon the primary weakness of the martians is that they are _very slow_

most cities don't have civil servant metal detector staff on call

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Mighty big ant lions in that sand pit. #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Look Mister Frodo, oliphants!

#Monsterdon
