Wait. Is the teacher French? #Monsterdon

Kid, don't get in the creepy van. Have you not been listening to the PSAs?

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

At least everyone got band-aids on their alien ouchies

The nodding. #monsterdon

Something something white people realizing they've been living next to fascist for 50 plus years 🩹

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

It's a pity this isn't in the same universe as The Explorers.

Louise Fletcher and Robert Picardo!

#monsterdon

The bandage is from when a sniper tried to shoot her from a rooftop #monsterdon

generally, kids, getting in a panel van in the 1980s is Bad News(tm). #monsterdon

E's been jonesing for that parking spot

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Hot 'Stang!

Bet it's got the 5.0 HP engine!

#Monsterdon

Now, she was easy convinced for a school nurse
#monsterdon

i too eat litter

FEED ME

#monsterdon

#monsterdon New teammate! SCHOOL NURSE has been added to the party. :trek_voy_janeway:

#monsterdon Don't touch me, you arne't Ed! Ed has magic fingers! Oh Ed!!!

The soundtrack thinks it's from an '80s beat 'em up. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I must say if I were an alien possessing people instead of conspicuous bandages I'd try either a higher neckline or covering it up with makeup (which would suck for the human down the road but that's probably not your problem)

"Oh boy. This is going to be a mess"

Lady, that was the understatement of the movie.

#Monsterdon

“Can I see the back of your neck?”

Pick-up lines to woo the school nurse.

#Monsterdon

I EAT LITTER, FEED ME

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

FOUR SIX TWO SOUTH ARROYO

ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE

#Monsterdon

Okay this movie is also taking the relationship between the medical adult character and our young hero to higher levels of creepiness?

Everything's just cranked up in this one, I guess

Except her rank: Linda is a school nurse, but Pat was a full-on doctor

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "let me see the back of your neck." "do you start every conversation this way?"

@jonny Well or in an Althusserian mode the whole narrative when you remove the horror element is about how schools are an Ideological State Apparatus.

#Monsterdon

As the Wu Tang Clan would say, PROTECT YA NECK #monsterdon

I EAT LITTER FEED ME 🐧

#monsterdon

Oooh I just remembered: the alien drinking coffee scene (this was like 15 minutes ago) reminded me of Teal'c from Stargate SG-1

I wonder if it was a reference

#Monsterdon

"This is the key to my back door."
Um. Phrasing?

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

"....a boil?"
"A boil."

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

WTF WAS THAT #monsterdon #invadersfrommars1986

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

Is Karen the school nurse, or is she the child psychologist, or is she both?

#Monsterdon She keeps saying Sister, can't tell if it's:

Yanno if Nurse Ratched came over to my office and told me "You've got a lot of nerve, sister!" I'd be more than a little worried 🤨

#monsterdon

oh right "poleaxe" lol. i wonder if the non-alien cops will just write off everything as a casual case of poleaxing again lol. i didn't realize how much i missed the totally sterile vibe of the 60's until seeing this one where like the after school special soft lit stuff is like "ah yes actually the baseline expectation is for people to care about the child's wellbeing" but the 60's one was like "sure just lock that kid up in the county jail thats normal" #monsterdon

#monsterdon Karen Black has been found. The heroine of the tale. She can’t possibly die, or get sick, or break a nail, or suffer ennui…

Has anyone ever sounded less natural calling someone "sister" than Louise Fletcher

#Monsterdon

So many brands in this film #monsterdon #invadersfrommars1986

SISTER!!!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon SEE I KNEW IT SHE'S A MANDATORY REPORTER

Band aid on the back of the neck. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon sorry i have a frog in my throat

“Hey, kid. Want some frog legs?” #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Cannot verify Mrs. McKeltch actually is possessed by an alien my prediction is she just wanted to be included (and hates Children / David)

@plaidtron3000 Nice reference 😀

#Monsterdon

what tf was that cut #monsterdon

Smart kid, top marks

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

#Monsterdon Uh actually I think even in the 80s they had Mandatory reporting for your position. If he reports abuse it can't stay in this room.

Oh...oh that's why the teacher reminds me of Nurse Ratchet. #monsterdon

whatever happens with counsellor puppets stays with councillor puppets

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

Louise's dress is perfect. Louise is perfect. Karen Black is the tiniest bit cross-eyed but that's always been part of her charm

That was so gross. Happy I didn't eat dinner during the movie tonight 🤢

#Monsterdon

YOU'RE PUSHING IT SISTER!

FIVE MINUTES!

ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE!

#Monsterdon

@Taweret anyone could swallow a whole frog, the alien mind control thing just lets you believe you can #monsterdon

FROG TARTARE!!!1! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon field trip with kai winn!

@blogdiva yes, why they always do that on 80s movies?
#monsterdon

"You're pushing it sister!"

Oh go finish your lunch. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

I've gotta imagine that Louise enjoyed that scene

Hey! As someone who is also a little Snoop, I resent that remark

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon The #SuddenStringSection is here, to give us a guide for jumpscares…

im sorry to say that is how i eat what a burger when im really hungry

#monsterdon

Gotta napkin that frog juice up!

#monsterdon

Teach is having a little snack in the back.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

@Louisa I never did dissect a frog. I remember dissecting a worm at one point, and later a sea star. The scalpel was not up to the task of cutting through the sea star and the smell of formaldehyde made me sick.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon i love all these stories where the kid knows some Existential Horror is going on but they still have to go to school and shit

Everyone runs like they're swimming #monsterdon

"You're pushing it, sister!"

🤨

#monsterdon

wait what was the like medieval weapon that the cops said the little playmate girl was killed with in the 60's version #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Okay this is a genuinely freaky moment that got me to hop in my seat a minute good job movie

I mean yes I know you can eat frogs but they usually cook those

so that's what frog week is all about #monsterdon

“LATER.”

#Monsterdon

Yup. That's it. Up it comes. #Monsterdon

@yatsu Why would you leave them on the counter? They would just get dusty!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon so THAT'S what happened to the frogs

IT'S FROG WEEK

#Monsterdon

nailed it

#monsterdon

psycho moment
#monsterdon

Why is he sleeping with M&Ms and pennies

Is he like Andy rooney or something #monsterdon #invadersfrommars1986

Oh. nevermind.

#monsterdon

Aw man, if she's eating a frog I'm gonna yak #Monsterdon

ah yes, i too keep my pickled specimens in the coat closet. #monsterdon

ooooh, when's pig week?!

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Great. Now we're gonna have aliens from Mars AND Pagh-wraiths.

#monsterdon

Well maybe now that her husband is taken over by aliens... #monsterdon

Aliens like copper, raw hamburger, salt, and Tic-Tacs. #Monsterdon

I also like Invaders from Irken.

#Monsterdon

Remember in Terminator 2 when that ginger kid saved John Connor?

#monsterdon

Wait, I thought it was frog week?1? Where did all the frogs go?!?

#monsterdon

Nothing less suspicious than a kid sneaking around busy school hallways

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

#Monsterdon mmm, steak tartare

#monsterdon And that's when Mom showed me her magical trichonosis sores!

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

Kid's got a legit case of malaise

@starkraving666 well good news... #monsterdon

The Martians are moving way fast in this one. #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

#Monsterdon The old version had like uncomfortable amounts of like child abuse and violence in it right? I feel like it did but I can't remember

Did they just decide to make up for it with large amounts of cussing?

Like I cuss I just don't normally hear 4th graders cuss this much unless I am subjected to South Park

i mean i already know im an alien and i love burnt bacon,

but apparently my husband is an alien too

if it don't CRONCHHH i don't want it

#monsterdon

No, I don't know Officer Kenny. I make a point not to be friends with any police officers. #monsterdon

I loved it. It's better than Cats.

#Monsterdon

School bus! ✅ Woot! A staple of 80s movies.

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

“Here, kid. Have some burnt bacon. Breakfast of losers.” #Monsterdon

Okay we finally got started with #monsterdon #invadersfrommars1986 and wow what a cool dad who curses and undermines mom's authority at all times super cool
