LOL!

#monsterdon No more blood up here in the dispensary- okay so that explains the drums in the warehouse...

Oh. GAS grenades. Perfectly safe to set off dozens of them inside a contained tube in space with pressurized recycled air. This is fine.

@xoagray yogurt is a vampire! I knew it! #monsterdon

@jonny I’m gonna tell people I’m single for science. #Monsterdon

I appreciate that they took the effort to make the stars sparkle during the spacewalk.

In space. Without an atmosphere to cause the sparkle effect we see from earth.

#Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

Drugs?

#monsterdon

@YsengrinWolf #Monsterdon
During the planning stages of this mission someone had the job of calculating how to adjust for the extra cigarette-weight at take-off

"...they have to have fresh blood, constantly"

So it's a shift into space vampires?

#Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

space vampire subplot! space vampire subplot! #monsterdon

@annathepiper I was just about to say I'm looking out for that

I don't think it's ever too far in

#Monsterdon

welp, he's dead. poor guy. #monsterdon

Oh cool. It's a smart monster.
"Don't fire this gun on board a spaceship. You'll rupture the hull and kill is all. RAWR!"
#Monsterdon #IT #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

My, that's a lot of IV fluid they're going through ...

#Monsterdon

we are finally getting some character exposition on one of the women but it is just to explain how she was single for science and cuts when the dude is propositioning her. F- #monsterdon

Great backgrounds in this infirmary

#Monsterdon

I wonder if the alien infection is gonna change the guy to an IT? #Monsterdon

@trixter um

well about that

quick, look over there 👉

#Monsterdon

all of these people are retirement age. they shouldn't have to fight monsters in space

#monsterdon

“let me check your cartoon head bandage…okay, all good” #monsterdon

aren't you supposed to blind people with science? not bury them? #monsterdon

#monsterdon a space divorcee, how modern!

@Taweret i was thinking earlier it sounded very karloff-inspired #monsterdon

@violetmadder Figured I wouldn't be alone in the Monsterdon crowd on that! 😁👍📼

@bunnyhero 👀 #Monsterdon

how much fuel is in one of those tank sets anyway?
#monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

“Sure. What evs.” —misheard line #Monsterdon

So a torch like that would be using up a lot of oxygen, wouldn’t it? #Monsterdon

aaaaaand roll credits, that guy is just going to burn the torch in the basement baiting the monster until they get back to earth #monsterdon

#monsterdon it wasn't completely ineffective, it gave him a really bad snore

"i'm in a nice spot right between the induction pumps" #monsterdon

@strangefour@retro.pizza Basically. One crew member decided to drop off some trash onto the surface of Mars and forgot to close the airlock.

#Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

@moira Just an abundance of Space Stairs!

#ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

@CactuarJoe commas are important! #Monsterdon

So... They blew up the oxygen recycling room, everybody's smoking, they're using an acetylene torch... When do they start suffocating? #Monsterdon

WELP! Grenades didn't work. Just gave it smoke inhalation. Poor monster doesn't want to vape your cotton bros.
#Monsterdon #IT #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

#monsterdon I too would be probably resort to hiding in the corner with a torch

Give it the CLAMPS!

#monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

Lol the monster's costume zipper - who else remembers that episode of Doug #monsterdon #ittheterrorfrombeyondspace

@sean 🤣🤣🤣 Definitely sounds like the opinion of someone who has previously electrocuted 30 people, imho!

#Monsterdon
#ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

too bad the space ship didn't have the space elevator

#monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

no wait! hold the elevator! #monsterdon

Yeah how did it get on board? Did they leave a doggie door open right before take off?
#Monsterdon #IT #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

#monsterdon that weird back ridge that definitely isn't covering a zipper

Is you using an oxyacetylene torch inside a space ship, motherfucker?

#monsterdon

this movie has some good things going for it, i like the scifi sets, i like the space walk sequence

#monsterdon

I couldn't help but notice the lack of any tethering cables on that spacewalk

#Monsterdon

Ah, I see, the next plan is fire #monsterdon

NICE ZIPPER ASSHOLE #Monsterdon

I see the zipper mania on this ship extends to the monster #Monsterdon

@Taweret you know how much of the budget went to this suit! I'm getting every dime worth!!
#monsterdon

oof spotlight right on that zipper

#monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

Nice delicate dancer's walk, though. #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe and by that i mean A Drink. #monsterdon

It's all "What do I look like? Some kind of intelligent carrot!? I scoff at your puny electricity" #Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorfromBeyondSpace

This monster needs a belt. #Monsterdon

OK, well, electrocution didn't work. Next plan? #monsterdon

"Doctor, it hurts when I touch both rails of the staircase."
"Are you sure? Why don't you try it again a few times to be sure?"

#Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

Sparking the monster's butt just made it angry! (and a little excited)

#Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

Finally a flame thrower; oh only for welding.

You're doing it wrong!

#monsterdon

who knew rubber suits would protect a monster from being electrocuted. #monsterdon

How many people do you think got injured on this set? #monsterdon #ittheterrorfrombeyondspace

"hur hur that tickles"

#monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

@jonny I like the idea of an Ocean's heist movie where they're capturing a monster

#Monsterdon

Ooooh poopie #Monsterdon

@bunnyhero what if we built this wooden badger?! #wrongMovie #Monsterdon

Guns, check. Grenades, check. Flamethrowers, check. All set for our trip in an airtight pressure vessel #monsterdon

[goose chasing them] why do you know how many human beings this would kill #monsterdon

#monsterdon Enough voltage in these things to kill, oh, I dunno, maybe like 43 human beings...

"...there's enough voltage in these to kill 30 human beings"
"strangely specific number, Fred"

#Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

@SpinBall That’s just a fact. #monsterdon

What in the hell are they doing now???? #monsterdon #ittheterrorfrombeyondspace

Yeah, just dump a bunch of amps and hope you don't fry the avionics. #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe At least they weren't smoking in their EVA suits

#Monsterdon

The beast looks more like a Doctor Who alien than a proper monster.

#Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

It really does look like Link Hogthrob but green. #Monsterdon

@aburka @annathepiper Quite true! 50s astronauts show no quarter! #Monsterdon

So #monsterdon is related to a movie from 1958?

The airlock control reads, "We have normality. I repeat, we have normality. Anything you still can't cope with is therefore your own problem." #monsterdon

@paco When my oldest was a toddler we would play Mr. Buckethead #TrueFacts #Monsterdon

I want absolutely nothing to do with this flashing light that says “CUUM”. 😐 #Monsterdon

@aburka @SchlocklusterVideo @annathepiper kind of sensible given that it seems to be able to claw its way through anything they try to contain it with

#Monsterdon

"hope they're making noise"
i have a feeling someone's gonna be making some noise here before very long. #screaming #monsterdon

that was kind of a neat sequence tho

i think @apLundell is busy packing but he would dig that

#monsterdon

@secretlybatman Or flowers! everybody likes flowers!

#monsterdon

Hey monster, nothing happening down below you Nothing at all. #Monsterdon

Gas masks in a spaceship kind of feels like putting a hat on a hat, imho ...

#Monsterdon
#ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

this plan to capture the monster narration could have done with some oceans 11 style bongo orchestral music and some zooms and pans over blueprints of the ship #monsterdon

@Taweret that noise they're playing during it reminds me of some old computer game I _think_? Definitely reminds me of something specific.

#monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

@jonny @Gurre yeah that's what I had heard too - it's not that the Bechedel test itself really matters, so much as it's a super simple question to evaluate (in theory, anyway) that helps illuminate how often female characters are written as less story-integral than male ones, or something like that. (I mean, really it'd be better to check the source material but it's fun to speculate)

#Monsterdon

@SchlocklusterVideo @annathepiper although, to be honest, I've only heard plans to kill the monster, they don't seem to have much interest in taking it alive #monsterdon

@neia mebbue "corridor" means something euphemistically to poets? #JustGuessing #monsterdon

It’s just Bat Rope technology, and the ship should probably be bigger on the outside, but the space walk is actually kinda cool.

#monsterdon
#ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

I love how space in general just sounds like a theramin

#ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

"Whatta ya gonna do wif dose?"
#Monsterdon #IT #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

kind of an ambitious plan to kill a space monster for a 50s movie too
