Well, the cops seem normal at least. 🙃

#monsterdon

listen, who can tell the difference between martian cops and earth cops. not me. #monsterdon

All Cops Are Martian Invaders #Monsterdon

Everything *nod* is *nod*wink* fine now *nod*nudge*.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

#Monsterdon ew lady we talk to the cops outside. Do not invite them in

They don't actually have to read their lines well
#monsterdon

Here we go again. ACAM. #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Now they get to be bad actors :)

#monsterdon

Big, "On our home planet, Marva" energy.

#monsterdon

If I had my way, I would always be entering a scene by loudly crashing through a bush #monsterdon

Oh okay army guy hookup makes sense.

#Monsterdon

Me at work this year: "We had a special meeting."

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon wink wink nudge nudge say no more

Just going to pop out of the bushes here I guess

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Joey, have you ever gone over the hill to the special place?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

NASA badges!

what was Ed and Dad doing behind the bushes? dirt answers only!
#monsterdon

The teacher's voice and mannerisms remind me of Nurse Ratchet #monsterdon

"I am doing a normal human introduction. I'm not an alien!" #Monsterdon

Cops bursting out of your bushes and speaking in a potentially lewd way are the #1 cause of alien-related police misconduct

#monsterdon

Ed, on the other hand, is not cool.

#monsterdon

The phone company. the SWITCHING division.

DUn Dun DUUUUUUNNNN!!

#monsterdon

There’s a #StarWars rancor toy off to the side, right as the kid comes in the front door from school! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

those stars are clearly just lightbulbs sorry effects designer dude

I kind of thought that that was a model I didn't realize it was a set

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

I wish I could be in a better mood, #monsterdon

Dishwasher broke. Filthy water everywhere in the kitchen and some in the basement too. Two hours of cleanup and handwashing.

well if you think aliens did get your dad, what exactly are expecting the local small town cops to do about it?

#monsterdon

over the hilltop and through the woods to humanoid death they goooooo

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Inviting the cops into your home? Huge mistake, lady.

#Monsterdon

Clock with an audible tick. That would send anyone to merge with aliens.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon i wanted omnibot so bad but never got one

we only had this tiny one

#Monsterdon yo this house is cool as hell tbh

Look my parenting skill points are at level 1 but even I know not to tell your kid that you're worried.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

Oooh I hope they use that weird police station set again!

Standard Movie Cops #Monsterdon

Scarier than the aliens – online casino ads on Tubi #monsterdon

"...George is missing."
"Do you know where he is?"
"I just said ..."

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Those are the numbers of power. #monsterdon

@lapis She’s the teacher who’s been a teacher for 30 years and hates being a teacher. #Monsterdon

Ooooh got one of them newfangled pushbutton phones!

#Monsterdon

oh my god they killed kenny

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

I was expecting a little more natural mother-son interaction in this considering Karen Black's the kid's actual mother #monsterdon

This kid is extremely easily distracted by anything on television

#Monsterdon

well if dad is late, i guess he must be an alien

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Damn I was hoping the phone would be a rotary dial those are fun

What is with the 80s and domestic robots #monsterdon

Wait was that Lifeforce on the tv? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon aaand now #SplendaDaddy wants the toy. I mean the Yamato from Starblazers.

He "went to toy stores in 3 states" looking for one in the 80's.

Where did that kind of movie show up on TV in the 80s right after school? #monsterdon

@wohali Wait, does that make the ET reeses pieces scene a reference to this movie?

#Monsterdon

Kinda sucks that the 'static-y tv screen' trope of the 80s is going to be replaced by AI-generated porn bot ad screensaver tropes in the near future

#monsterdon

@north Yeah I've seen some things to suggest that happens with small, single- or few-user instances

#Monsterdon

Sitting on the floor immediately in front of the TV... WITH the remote.

As an 80s kid I can say this checks out

#monsterdon

#monsterdon It’s not breaking and entering, it's just shitty housekeeping.

Lifeforce!

It's a terrible movie. I love it.

#Monsterdon

They're BAAAAAACK!

Oh noes she's crawling from the TV!

Oh, it's just Mom, you minx!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

it's after remote controls for TVs but before your TV stopped getting snow

#Monsterdon OMNIBOT

ET has a frog class scene, did Spielberg ghost direct this one too? And why was he so dedicated to giving Hooper a life of leisure 🤔 #monsterdon

Your mom's cool.

#monsterdon

Haha showing another Tobe Hooper film on the Tv. #monsterdon

"I have been watching your human Tee Vee. The creature known as Donahue has vastly expanded my understanding of your species." #Monsterdon

I’m sorry but Lifeforce came out a year before this and it’s already on TV? #Monsterdon

Where do I get one of those creepy robots? I need one like right now.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Never throw a frog at someone when you've got a scalpel in front of you. That's biology 101. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon How DARE your mom have a fun moment with you

Hot take I would prefer the static to commercials

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

... and Lifeforce is on TV, another Tobe Hooper film ...

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

an iconic father-son overdose session over breakfast

#goals
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Guest movie within a movie: Lifeforce!

Only the kid who throws it back gets in trouble? What about the boy who threw the frog in the first place? #monsterdon

They're here? #monsterdon

LifeForce ladies and Gentlemen. Also didn't do well at the box office. #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

It should've just been clock faces scrolling by

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

to be fair I don't actually know from the movie that anyone is an alien but I'm assuming based on the feed

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon this house takes me back to childhood, folks. major 80s deja vu

80s sets were just the worst. The worst. #Monsterdon

I'd never let her be in a classroom. She'll be telling all the kids how the wormhole's really the celestial temple of the prophets #monsterdon

Self-closing door? on the 86? That's a neat for house automation
#monsterdon

What movie is that on the TV? I don't recognize it.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon I like to think she's been possessed but she's already a huge asshole and there's no difference

This boy's Paugh is weak. 👂 #Monsterdon

One Flew Over the Martian's Nest #monsterdon

They have a Rancor guarding the (ajar) front door!

It's kind of interesting watching the #Monsterdon hashtag. Some instances will suddenly show up en masse.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

was that a crow cawing?

The Prophets are not pleased, dear child.
#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

@Taweret@octodon.social That will teach them a valuable life lesson.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

i've had teachers like that, right down the the grip...

#monsterdon

Louise Fletcher as a teacher _totally_ makes me want to see her as Mrs. Bitters in Invader Zim.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

So the teacher woke up bright and early to run around a marsh catching frogs. #monsterdon

That toy robot is definitely better than any toy I had in the 80s.

#Monsterdon

Is Ms. McKelch an alien too? #monsterdon

How am I behind everyone else? No commercials, did I start a minute late or something?

We just hit frog week.

Frogs are awesome!

Though she hopes he needs a tetanus shot. I just did my Tdap 4 weeks ago and that is a freakin' mean wish lady!

#Monsterdon

now, if youll excuse me, nurse, i left a room full of ten year olds with a bunch of knives

#monsterdon

The little bit of a fish eye lens on the shot approaching the house made me a little nauseous... oof.

#monsterdon

Louise Fletcher is always playing someone nasty. #monsterdon

#monsterdon everyone get ready for *these* fuckin aliens
