"...KLTV is here."
"Kill TV?"
"What?"

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

It is nice that John was able to squeeze in a shave between getting into the car & driving off

#continuity

KTLA!

AND YOU

ARE THERE #Monsterdon

the trope of women in 50s movies screaming every time they see a thing continues

#monsterdon

@annathepiper https://xkcd.com/1235/ 👍

#Monsterdon

I love how the colorized version is so inconsistent with the car's colors. It's like those color changing matchbox car toys I had as a kid.

#monsterdon

That was the least surprised-sounding "Look" when the eyeball appeared on the road. 1950s "holy fucking shit look out!"

#monsterdon

joshua trees ARE terrifying, in her defense. #monsterdon

And, the American scientist has a gun!

#Monsterdon

...and the UFO silently pulls out from behind the old distillery... #Monsterdon

You didn't hit the alien too hard, its theramin still works. #Monsterdon

Ouch. That scream was unnecessarily piercing. #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

Ok this movie has nice jump scares #monsterdon

giant light but no side mirrors…1950’s car safety #monsterdon

@randy_s "it mysteriously appeared on my ipod!" #monsterdon

#monsterdon

"can I prove any of it?"

dunno. There's only this big-ass smoking hole in the ground

that tree was terrifying
#monsterdon

#monsterdon /Screams "It's just a U2 album from the late 80's"

OH NO! Not a weird tree! Or cactus?
#Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

HIT IT! HIT IT AS HARD AS YOU CAN! #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

If your last name is Snell your personal hygiene game has to be on point at all times

#Monsterdon

Ghostly eyeball! At least she saw it as well, proving he's not crazy.

#Monsterdon

@ryan It has construction technology greatly beyond our own #monsterdon

Dodge roll! Dodge roll, Khezu's attacks got small hitboxes! #Monsterdon

It's a giant gall bladder!

#monsterdon

Bargain-store Elizabeth Taylor and bargain-store Humphrey Bogart need a better script. lol.

The poor monster.

#Monsterdon

Alien probey thing's got a Pac-Man tatoo. #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

Slimer's brother
#monsterdon

"What was that?”
"Sounded like a theremin…”
#Monsterdon

Just thinking, if this movie were set in the modern day, Johnny would have whipped out his smartphone and videoed the _hell_ out of that crashed ship, and it'd be all over Instagram in seconds.

#Monsterdon

What in the literal hell, Ellen?? #Monsterdon

he's a small-time 50s sci-fi author, he's used to public humiliation. #monsterdon

@Taweret As proud as Tommy Wieseau and parking car shots. #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

"If you're smart..."
#foreshadowing #monsterdon

Did cars not have passenger doors back then? She got in the driver's side and slid across. #monsterdon

@howler0502 Maybe they have to keep out all the stray rocks

#Monsterdon

You think there would be more lookie loos at the crater, not much else to do in Arizona. #Monsterdon

Not Kosh. But definitely sus.

#Monsterdon

Concussion? Maybe it's a space crab, a little bump won't do nothing #monsterdon

they were really proud of the helicopter landing shots

#monsterdon

Was Johnny pipe upside down in the helicopter?
#Monsterdon

So many tiny choppers. And cars... Is this movie all about transportation or standing in a rock quarry.
#Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

"From its size and appearance this came from outer space"

I mean, also the fact it entered the atmosphere from outside, maybe?

#monsterdon

Upside down pipe?

#monsterdon

4am…going back for more open-air helicopter… #monsterdon

Your friends have abandoned you Pete. #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

lol @ upside down 'helicopter mode' for Johns pipe

#monsterdon

Meanwhile, in the decapicopter...

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

@diazona certainly unusual for #monsterdon

@ryan you can tell because of the way that it is #monsterdon

Ever get that feeling you're being watched? #Monsterdon

@strangefour oh shit you're right! #monsterdon

The angle of this man's hat annoys me. #Monsterdon

Marcia and the Technicolor Dream Coat. #Monsterdon

I tell you from its size and its appearance this thing came from outer space #monsterdon

@yatsu Better one than none

Or, better for them at least, maybe not for our entertainment

#Monsterdon

I keep thinking the main guy almost looks like Phil Hartman.
#Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

#monsterdon "Stars...PAH! I still think the earth is flat"

That's no moon. It's a space station. #monsterdon

You can tell John's a professor by the patches on his elbows...
#monsterdon

@Taweret If he were good with words he wouldn't need an oversized telescope #monsterdon

@Taweret To be fair it had doors

And hexagons

#Monsterdon

yeah Pete is the only one with a brain..

#monsterdon
#ItCameFromOuterSpace

you really shouldn't tell people you saw aliens...that's how the men in black show up
#monsterdon

I had a school teacher friend say that "glitter is like herpes". You never get rid of it. #monsterdon

oh that weird kind of shot that's real but _look_ totally fake

#monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

I love how old movies just could NOT show night time effectively. I dunno how much is style, and how much is the technology limitations, but look at this.

This is supposed to be outdoors on a moonless night! #monsterdon

*nixon voice* She's got a nice Republican cloth coat. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Man, the CGI and drone footage in this movie are atrocious!

Coffee checked off my bingo card early on, yes! #Monsterdon

pete the only sensible one in this movie. #monsterdon

#monsterdon What kind of a ship? A ship of Pete and that eyeball creature maybe, I dunno it's too early in the movie...

These are very bouncy rocks #monsterdon

"Some kind of a ship..."

A living ship, full of strange...alien lifeforms...

[Sorry, couldn't resist.]

#monsterdon

wellp. better give up and go home
#monsterdon
#ItCameFromOuterSpace

@MindTGap 12 minutes in (we always start right on the hour)

#Monsterdon

@blogdiva Looks like Richard Carlson was in The Magnetic Monster, from the same year! #Monsterdon

"JOHN!" "Marcia..." #Monsterdon

the PGS subs on the 4K are great #monsterdon

Remember kids, old abandoned mines are prone to collapse.

#Monsterdon

Man, you can annoy a lot of gorn will all of those foam rocks.

#monsterdon

tch, pete. bad move. noble intentions, but you said you were gonna stay put. #monsterdon

this is where Pete's gonna be!
Good call, Pete the refers-to-himself-in-the-3rd-person helicopter pilot!
#monsterdon

AAAAAAND CREDITS

Good job everyone!
#monsterdon

#monsterdon _insert that community scene about the door that closes much faster than it opens_

Ward's not much in a cardigan, but what a butt! #Monsterdon

He's about to come from outer space #monsterdon

@gnomon Makes you think about the giant hexagon on Saturn's north pole in a whole new light

#Monsterdon

"Meteor's haunted?"
*points gun*
"Always has been"
#Monsterdon

THE THEREMIN DISAPPROVES
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Lick the rock, see what it tastes like.

once again: seriously nice scale shot

#monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

Love the classic 50s safety standards (nonexistent). What's that gas? Does the scientist have a way up? How about you be less of an "old woman" and get in the giant pit of noxious vapors.

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

Are y'all watching the colorized version on Archive dot org? Because the colors are pretty wild. #Monsterdon

Lead Richard Carlson was also in The Valley of Gwangi, an absolutely fun dinosaur western. #Monsterdon

Edited to add: Also was the lead in Burt I. Gordon's Tormented, one of my favorite MST3K episodes.

Johnny made his saving throw against "Rocks fall. Everybody dies."

#Monsterdon

Standing on the edge of the crater after parking your helicopter right next seems much safer than going down into it, it's true

#monsterdon

Gets to the bottom of the crater, the smoke is from one alien with a drain pipe all "SHITTER'S FULL." #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

"...oh my god, it's full of hexagons!"

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

@Louisa TBH I would probably also say it's beautiful if it were a newly formed crater

#Monsterdon
