"...KLTV is here."
"Kill TV?"
"What?"
It is nice that John was able to squeeze in a shave between getting into the car & driving off

the trope of women in 50s movies screaming every time they see a thing continues
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.
That was the least surprised-sounding "Look" when the eyeball appeared on the road. 1950s "holy fucking shit look out!"
joshua trees ARE terrifying, in her defense. #monsterdon
And, the American scientist has a gun!
...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 mirrorsβ¦1950βs car safety #monsterdon
@randy_s "it mysteriously appeared on my ipod!" #monsterdon
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
Ghostly eyeball! At least she saw it as well, proving he's not crazy.
@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!
Bargain-store Elizabeth Taylor and bargain-store Humphrey Bogart need a better script. lol.
The poor monster.
Alien probey thing's got a Pac-Man tatoo. #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace
Slimer's brother
#monsterdon
"What was that?β
"Sounded like a thereminβ¦β
#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.
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
You think there would be more lookie loos at the crater, not much else to do in Arizona. #Monsterdon
Not Kosh. But definitely sus.
Concussion? Maybe it's a space crab, a little bump won't do nothing #monsterdon
they were really proud of the helicopter landing shots
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?
Upside down pipe?
4amβ¦going back for more open-air helicopterβ¦ #monsterdon
Your friends have abandoned you Pete. #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace
lol @ upside down 'helicopter mode' for Johns pipe
Meanwhile, in the decapicopter...
@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
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
yeah Pete is the only one with a brain..
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
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.]
wellp. better give up and go home
#monsterdon
#ItCameFromOuterSpace
@MindTGap 12 minutes in (we always start right on the hour)
@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.
Man, you can annoy a lot of gorn will all of those foam rocks.
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
"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
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."
Standing on the edge of the crater after parking your helicopter right next seems much safer than going down into it, it's true
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!"
@Louisa TBH I would probably also say it's beautiful if it were a newly formed crater
