#Monsterdon damn dude that's effed up

Another, worser version of Amazing Grace!

#Monsterdon

The big reveal is... A hydroponic grow operation in San Francisco? #Monsterdon #Monsterdank

@georgieboy If you're a plant, and you're looking for a 'plant' that might be confusing. #MonsterDon

I've had subtitles on Tubi this WHOLE movie and they haven't started working until just now on the PA announcements and they're taking up 2/3 of the screen. #monsterdon

"RUN
a race against time"
#monsterdon

so much for the corduroy

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

One thing we know, pod people nipples are the last thing to grow in. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

@Zerofactorial in heels! #Monsterdon

like blow up as much pod stuff as you can on your way out, cool, but give it a little flourish #monsterdon

Pod people have the same self-preservation instincts as the humans in this movie. It took them over a full minute after the alarms started to look for the person who set them off, even though they all looked at him immediately.

#monsterdon

"I would never bother you when you're getting a piece of wood!" #WrongMovie surprisingly #MonsterDon

I get it, it’s about people who have podcasts trying to convince you to start a podcast #monsterdon

My head canon is that they were all killed by cucumber beetles. #Monsterdon

Have you ever just watched a film and thought....

"No, they really don't make pants like they used to."

#monsterdon

Also yeah the asbestos filing was all the bodies

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

@Lazarou I was thinking of red dress Brooke when they jump onto the truck #monsterdon

I can help but notice how everyone lips is so fucking dry, where's the chapsticks? #monsterdon

They neglected to mention that when you become a pod person you gain the ability to make otherworldly screaming noises

#Monsterdon

The hearkening scream is fabulous. 10/10 for getting everyone's attention.

#Monsterdon
#InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

I think the banjo noise made the man-faced dog scene 10x worse. 😆

#Monsterdon

I suppose in the 1970s, it's more plausible that tract lighting falling on plants might just fucking blow up. LEDs aren't going to do that, they're powered by cold fusion or ghosts or something. #monsterdon

Nipples and horror :blobscream:

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

ok that tongue scream thing was creepy #monsterdon

also, did he just drop the axe? idiot! #monsterdon

The podcaster grow op is in danger!
Danger danger pod people!
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

@CactuarJoe Make sure not to undercook it

#Monsterdon

Wow, pods are very flammable. #monsterdon

Oh man, I love that Elizabeth is walking like the T-1000 :D Badass :D #Monsterdon

OH THE SQUELCHING

#Monsterdon

ma'am, ma'am you need some clothes, things are on fire? #monsterdon

INDY! #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

A a mazing clone, how sweet the pod
That made a wretch like me.... #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon fresh local produce is what makes living in the bay area so great

Happy to finally see some things getting set on fire

I don't even care what at this point

#Monsterdon

🦖 #MONSTERDON 🎞️

😨💀 INVASION OF THE TRIVIA 👾

At the end of the movie, the character played by Veronica Cartwright was shocked by a surprise and shrieked in terror.

This was somewhat real because the Director did not tell her in advance what was going to happen in the "Twist Ending", when she sees Matthew do the famous "point" and scream.

#InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers1978

I seem to have some sort of mental block that causes me to forget #monsterdon is happening until the movie is over.

@Zerofactorial unencumbered by clothes #monsterdon

@brooke THERE OUGHTA BE. I'M MAKING ONE RIGHT NOW #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

There better be some head choppin' #monsterdon

@joeo10 They should remake it again where women get to run in Crocs #monsterdon

I think Matthew knows he's screwed but he wants to kill as many of them as he can... valid #monsterdon

Her lips are super chapped. #monsterdon

Lesson: get an axe much much sooner, and use it for good effect

#monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Women and pods first! #monsterdon

@brooke

"Yes"

"Maybe later"

#Monsterdon

Man. What I would do for some fried zucchini right now. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon there's no rule that says a dog with a human face *can't* play basketball

Sees a body covered in growth and still comments on his bloody nose first. #monsterdon

Huh, didn't remember Axe Cop's origin story going like this #monsterdon

Take that, plant fiends!

#monsterdon

Fun Fact: both the 1956 and 1978 versions have running in heels which is never a good idea when you're trying to not get replaced.

#Monsterdon

Oh lol 😅

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

Soundtrack continues to be excellent, second favorite part of the movie after the high-budget VFX bits.

#Monsterdon

@Infoseepage I keep thinking "almond milk" and that sht! ain't right! #MonsterDon

I'm disappointed in them for using bagpipes.

They had clearly set up that banjo was going to be important

#monsterdon

@paco When bad instruments happen to good songs...

#Monsterdon

So wait did they hear big pipes? Is there a pipe in nearby?

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

#Monsterdon (earlier we saw an active pod flower next to a homeless man spooning with his dog, i assume this ended up becoming the man-dog)

Grabbing an axe sets off the alarms? Well thought out, Alarm Guy. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

ah, the axe. what a versatile tool. #monsterdon

@lytta it would make more sense as a strategy because they probably usually eat the husk bodies afterwards too so it doesn't leave a trace. #monsterdon

@trixter Yeah, last century #Monsterdon

@brooke you're the man now dog #monsterdon

...Well, I guess the boot's on the other foot now #Monsterdon

This is some real John Grisham chase scene music we're getting #monsterdon

I did really like the on-sceren chemistry between Donald Sutherland and Brooke Adams, though. There just isn't a lot of room in this movie for a romance subplot

(somehow, despite a 2 hour runtime)

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe You mean five years ago? Back at the start?

#Monsterdon

@jwisser To be fair, running in heels were also in the 1956 version.

#Monsterdon

Wouldn't it be better to distribute all the pods by truck? This seems to be busywork for the zombies #monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie ... we don't have a chance, do we? #MonsterDon

#Monsterdon mandog!

*gryn* The dog is one of the things I remember from seeing this in the theaters.

#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

So one half pods, one half grow operation. Not bad. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

wow, they only legalized weed like a couple months ago, this is an amazing operation! #monsterdon

Would becoming a pod person help me work on my relationship with myself? Would I be less a slave to my hormones? If so, I'm in. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

10 whole minutes for Matthew to run around doing… whatever. I'm not really very invested at this point.

#Monsterdon

Holy hell. The dog!

#monsterdon

Matthew, it's nap time.
#Monsterdon
#InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers

She's trying to entice him to bed with her planty boobs. Don's too smart to fall for that trick, though.

#monsterdon

@jonny

No no.

It's painless.

It's good.

#Monsterdon

They remembered the nips on this one! #monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 I like pods now! #Monsterdon

Immediately silenced by bare titties. Shame on you Donald. #Monsterdon

@SRLevine Yep. Bagpipes playing "Amazing Grace."

Thankfully they say that there's no love or hate after being converted to a pod person. So that means there will be no bagpipes either. #monsterdon

She’s a pod but she’s naked. Quite the dilemma. #Monsterdon

Nude Conspiracies!

#monsterdon

@darrenmorin Is the appearance of the #mawg just supposed to indicate that DNA is being mixed with wild abandon?

#Monsterdon

EVEN ON THE SHIPS!?
Podcasters are everywhere now...
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

Um. She's already turned, isn't she?

#monsterdon

OH SURE, NOW she has nipples. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBodySnatcher1978

@Taweret OK, she has nipples now.

#monsterdon

Oh dear

#monsterdon

eeeeeew #Monsterdon

oh oh oh these practical effects are crazy. #monsterdon

this is given Meierlink taking his love up to the spaceship vibes rn. #monsterdon

Ok, at ~1:41 the musical score took a turn for the maybe it's bagpipes maybe's it's not? But I'm bad at recognizing instruments.

#Monsterdon

Bagpipes. No plant could ever love bagpipes. They have found salvation in the horror that is the highlands.
#Monsterdon #BodySnatchers78

🎵 A-MA-ZING Grace, how sweet, the screech, that sav-ed, a pod, LIIIIIKE MEEEEEE 🎵
