It's uncomfortably icky watching them cuddle in fear.

"...General Wilson, I have one question..."
"No, I did not move the headstones without moving the bodies!"

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

...This is gonna be like the Militia scenes in The Stuff, isn't it #Monsterdon

You know, General wilson, the name that's not been spoken till this point in the movie

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

a lot of these actors are too good to be in this

#monsterdon

He is a child and she is a full grown teacher. But you get into this crisis situation and he's in this like protector role.

And then they're in the car and suddenly she has no plans and the kid is in charge. #monsterdon

"This is the key to my back door" famous last words #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars86

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

Luckily there's also a spare set of crutches in the boiler room murder bed @himbovoorhees

... at the local US Marines / NASA joint base ...

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

@himbovoorhees we're making soup?! #Monsterdon

yeah but mister wilson always hated that kid

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

A+ creepy cops.
Wait are they not wormed? They’re just like that?

#monsterdon #InvasionFromMars1986

that thing is veiny #monsterdon

Man, they really didn't check the Earth invasion Trello to make sure they weren't doubling up on "catch David Gardner." #monsterdon

i know those frogs come from vacuum packs not from the hill. not believable!!!! #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars86

I wonder if that USMC camp is named after Chesty Puller.

#monsterdon

Ah, yeah. The quintessential 1980s school boiler room! #Monsterdon

Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side #monsterdon

Also throughout this whole movie I was thinking "man isn't this the same plot as another movie we saw on #monsterdon already" and then it took me too long to figure out that

yes, it is

Invaders from Mars (1953)

which Invaders from Mars (1986) is a remake of

Ok. I totally had this movie confused with Mars Attacks! (1996) - a campy comedy that parodied movies like this.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Advancing the plot saves the day again

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

At first she was afraid, she was petrified #monsterdon

"We're the police, we're here to help!"

Quote of the century, lmao

#Monsterdon

Those Martians do love their spotlights!

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Martian fleshlight?

#Monsterdon

"We're the police we're here to help"

Has a more terrifying thing than this ever been uttered? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Check it out, it's the krang from the first movie in the background:

THROW THE COPS IN THE BOILER

#monsterdon

@yatsu that or it's a fable about not trusting the police #monsterdon

An old model of the alien master from the original film. #monsterdon

OMG somebody please make a meme of those two pulling their guns

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Saved by the... wait, that's not a graboid?

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

This is some great physical acting. A master class. #Monsterdon

Saved by the giant alien diving bell erupting from the floor #monsterdon

Yep. Perfectly normal police. 🙃

#monsterdon

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

#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

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

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

2) What happened to the owner of those crutches?

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Supreme Martian Intelligence. #Monsterdon

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

lol STOP TRYING TO ACT AND JUST LEAVE, PLEASE

#monsterdon

Better go hide in Freddy Krueger's house!

#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

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

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

Teacher-mom to the rescue #monsterdon

Roll in the tanks already

#Monsterdon

@bangskij On this episode of Detectorists...

#monsterdon

#monsterdon wait, is this Nightmare on Elm Street?

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

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

#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

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
