these two guys smell like the construction dudes that got eaten in Tremors.

#Monsterdon It's like none of these people have studied what to do in quicksand!

Giant, slimy, ugly, Mr. Potatoheads!

“You’re not just a crazy child, are you?”

#Monsterdon

They’re just band-aids, it’s the latest trend! My grandfather used onions on his belt, as it was the style at the time #monsterdon

OH! I see, they're using old Dr. Who sets now

#monsterdon

@Louisa the #BrainFace is just fantastic #Monsterdon

Nice effect with the sand there! Wow.

#monsterdon

David, you're not just some crazy kid, are you? David, this is all moving too fast. David, you remind me of a Malibu sunset #monsterdon

fully grown woman and kid in a bright red plaid shirt hide behind a dead bush. these aliens really are lacking something in the visual acuity department. #monsterdon

So the parents like their bacon burnt. Some people are sinners. Sinning against food.

#monsterdon

@otheorange_tag Nah, it's through the stomach.

[and up underneath the rib cage]

#Monsterdon

That alien base looks a little like the towers in Elder Scrolls: Oblivion.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

"David! You're not just a crazy child...are you?"

^^ she's a nurse, not a child psychologist

#Monsterdon

This kid is so friggin loud.

@SnoopJ And sometimes y

#Monsterdon

Oh my favorite toy in the 80s was an ugly, slimy Mr. Potato Head.

#monsterdon

Wait when did the hill turn into a rock quarry?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon shit yes i want a plushie of the brain martian look at his cute widdle face

I’M POSITIVE #monsterdon

#monsterdon
nice ride nurse lady

Good use of cover kid, nobody'll see you there. #Monsterdon

"Huge, ugly, slimy, giant Mr Potato heads"

Ok, the movie lost me. You don't insult Mr Potato head.

(says the person who owns two of them for home decor...though they only seem to emerge in certain apartments and somehow never made it to display in my current one)

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I'd rather see a Magneto-meter

#monsterdon Was this actually shot in California? This running-through-the-forest scene does not look like the Vancouver-ish deciduous forest currently conventional in all sci-fi productions.

Oh, nice Mustang, Nurse!

Bronco IIs and an Econoline, I wonder who sponsored the vehicles for this flick.

#monsterdon

Wooh. Way creepier alien effects than the green pyjama suits #Monsterdon

Did a lot of nurses in the 1980s drive Ford Thunderbird convertibles? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Damn what the FUCK

#Monsterdon They're MOLE PEOPLE.

The Aliens all want to know who is the 3rd strongest (except for the mean teacher she's 1st strongest)

@SRLevine "The way to a man's heart" "Don't be so danged literal!" --Bugs Bunny #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon i love the ship interior design, it's very 'organic', like it's got bones and shit

Oh yes, let's go right back to the alien ship. #monsterdon

Now rub the bacon grease into your tie. #monsterdon

why couldn't they contain david? well could you tell your intestines to close to keep something inside? the alien probably doesn't have complete control over all the functions of its body #monsterdon

This whole scene is just David's hallucination after cutting himself with the scalpel, right? #monsterdon

@jonny Er what would Zizek say about the sphincter and clown aliens and tunnels?

#monsterdon

@aburka yeah true, although Prof. Trelawney was even more of a ditz when she wasn't giving real prophecies

#Monsterdon

"You're not just a crazy child, are you?"

I've heard that a lot.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

And to drink... Peru!

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars86 #andAlsoBetterOffDead

leave Mr Potato Head out of this! #monsterdon

I love everything about that set and those creatures. To get the 'potato head' martians legs to move like that the puppeteers flipped around and walked backwards in the props. #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

SHE CHANTED THE VOWEL LETTERS WHY (without the 'sometimes y')

Can we see the back of the nurse's neck again please #monsterdon

so the alien is a sort of plant-like creature living in the hillside, slow moving/stationary, so that's why it has to mind control people to do its bidding externally and why it can't contain david even when he is spotted inside the base, which isn't a base so much as the alien's body #monsterdon

The martian drones were supposed to have been very difficult and uncomfortable costumes. Not only are you on stilts, but you're facing backwards - that huge face is hanging off your butt.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

We saw a Mr. Potato Head on his nightstand earlier. And now he says it out loud. Another product placement?!

#monsterdon

ugh! am streaming directly from archive.org and the stream crapped out.

#Monsterdon

parkour

parkour

#Monsterdon

This is what I get for playing Skyrim, Morrowind, and ESO:

The interior of the Martian ship _totally_ looks like Redoran architecture. Especially in the inside of the Manor District in Ald'ruhn.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon cave is ribbed for your pleasure

necktenna #monsterdon

-cook the mouth with coffee
-cook the bacon to smithereens
-don't cook, just salt, the hamburger

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

All the aliens are awesome good job effects designer and art director etc!

where did they find this footage of the DNC #monsterdon #invadersfrommars1986

Heart AND liver? She really wants to get him, doesn't she?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Kuato! Is that you! Look at you! Prehensile and everything!

Ewww a butthole krang #monsterdon

#Monsterdon My headcanon is despite the possession the mean teacher is in charge, not the practical effects alien

In the 1953 version David had much better survival instincts #monsterdon

@amyfou #RaisesHandQuickly #Monsterdon

Oh hey Krane got a solo gig

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986 #tmnt

They really just liked this kid's terrible acting scream, huh?

#Monsterdon

These are like giant zombie butts from Doom Patrol.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Is this the inspiration for Animorphs?

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

The set design is basically Alien but make it look as cheap as possible #monsterdon

David Gardener, center stage! #Monsterdon

you know, given the timing of this movie and Star Control 2 it wouldn't surprise me one bit if SC2 was actually referencing this movie #monsterdon

#monsterdon David found the "Entrance in Rear" access-way to the alien ship. Everyone just goes in the front door and that's how they get taken.

#Monsterdon ok maybe she knows he's there

I want the Invaders special edition popcorn bucket #monsterdon

mobile organism designed only for EATING DAVID GARDNER

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

OOOOOOOOOH! #monsterdon

Why does the door have testicles???

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

So far this #Monsterdon has taught me that not a lot of people knew adults in the 80s who put artificial sweetener tablets in their coffee

Who knew Krang did things before those Turtle cartoons

#monsterdon

so the critters worship krang from ninja turtles?

#monsterdon

@cheribaker Hey! no linguistical stuff! ";" #Monsterdon

Sometimes Y!

OK nice subterranian martian spaceship set I feel like in the original it was green?

okay yeah definitely Dnyarri #monsterdon

listen, ain't no giant brain putting anything anywhere near me (unless i can be guaranteed a meeting with Astarion, then we can talk.) #BG3 #monsterdon

Rad concert dudes

#Monsterdon

A E I O U!

1 2 3 4 5!

You get me a pile, and then you get me whittles!

#monsterdon

okay, practical effects alien is awesome

10/10

#monsterdon

Wait what's that thing on his belt?
why are we at an alien Rave?
I have so many questions

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Oh dang, Krang is in this? #monsterdon

I wasn't able to watch the old version with the rest of you so I guess I'll watch it after this. #monsterdon

And now, Kraid. #Monsterdon

Metroids!

#monsterdon

OOOOOOOOH

BA-RIIIIIING

BA-RIIIIIIING

#Monsterdon we need a disco ball and like some glowsticks

For an advanced alien race has terrible anti-intruder tech #monsterdon

Sphincter says what?

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

This possessed biology teacher is really giving Prof. Trelawney #monsterdon

Are these The Prophets? #monsterdon

It's Audrey II

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

that rave is out of this world

#monsterdon

WHOA we're already in the sand pit base 38 minutes in, that's a huge departure from the previous right, i don't think they went in there until the military was around #monsterdon
