Trumpy, noooooooo! #monsterdon

“wait…shouldn’t we be wearing gas masks too?” #monsterdon

Grenades, firearms, no GAS grenades. These fuckers even brought war crimes with them. #Monsterdon
#ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace #Amerikkka!

Keeping that suit backlit in shadows was a really good choice. Other films would have done well to use that strategy *cough* Octaman *cough* #Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorfromBeyondSpace

@arisummerland this is kinda fun, although it means I can't use the commercials to catch uo on posts.

3rd break!

#Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

So wait, does everyone just figure there is a monster on Mars so that's why they are all armed to the teeth?
#monsterdon

"...maybe use gas?"
"good idea! Quick, fix us some burritos, stat!"

#Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

"We'll use 'em as a last resort, I mean, they are banned by the Geneva convention..."

#monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

Monster gets into shot, finds his light, and then ADJUSTS HIS MASK. Director decides THIS IS THE SHOT TO KEEP. ("We're not made of film! Keep rolling!") #Monsterdon
#ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

@Taweret aren't they on the way home anyway???? #monsterdon

@lorgonumputz they should have used face gernades?!... #Monsterdon

if we could lock it down there, why didn't we just do that in the first place?

#monsterdon

Ha ha ha ha ha oh man the mask XD XD XD #Monsterdon

well, either conventional weapons don't work, or these guys are among the more terrible shots we've borne witness to. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Conventional weapons have no effect! #Monsterdon

DR. STRANGEPORK NOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo

#monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

A MONSTER MITTEN! Wanna touch those scalie toe beans. Oh to be the first man to touch the gentle paw of an alien in space.
#Monsterdon #IT #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

heh, monster takes the gun out of his hand like "Oh, thank you, I needed one of these" #Monsterdon

so anyway I started blastin’ #monsterdon

the rubber suit actor is delightful...so emotive! so filled with angst! #Monsterdon

"Guys... Is this a snipe hunt? You'd tell me if this was a snipe hunt, right? Guys?" #Monsterdon

now I have a machine gun ho ho... oh shit i bent it oh well

#monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

"Uh, you first" #monsterdon #ittheterrorfrombeyondspace

@Taweret@octodon.social And the lights are pulsating. That means everything's working as intended.

#Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

@bunnyhero 'Murica

#Monsterdon

hey everyone it’s Han Solo! #monsterdon

So let's review to this point:

- Metal stairs
- Gigantic air ducts
- Rubber suit monster stalking the ship

Since this DOES feel like an episode of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, when are they going to shoot a charge through the hull?

#Monsterdon

Let's make sure we all have guns
#monsterdon

You've got inter-deck airtight doors. Could you just try venting atmosphere on the decks where the Monster is? #Monsterdon
#ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

Quick, everyone stand in a circle, and take out your guns!

#Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

it just seems to stumble around mostly

#monsterdon

the only being on board who doesn't like walking around in a cloud of smoke. #monsterdon

missed the chance to flood the ventilation system with radiation like scotty did for the blood-sucking honey monster on star trek so that's one insanely horrible idea we can't try

#monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

dang they just blew up all their spare cigarettes and vases
#monsterdon

Ah, good, lots of explosions on our spaceship! Everything's coming up Milhaus!

#monsterdon

Oh cool, engineering decks have been shrapnel-ed. #monsterdon

@paco @msh *beep beep*

#Monsterdon

IT! has a wide emotional range #Monsterdon

this is not a very threatening monster i have to say

#monsterdon

And *Boom* go the grenades!

#Monsterdon

they look a little too happy that they've set off explosives inside their spaceship #monsterdon

#monsterdon NASA protocol states that female astronauts must be held around the waist by another crew member during moments of high drama

Congratulations guys you just blew up your O2 source. ( o_o)7 #Monsterdon

@sean goths don't need zippers? no that's not right. #Monsterdon

Grenade blows up. Monster carefully climbs out of vent AND THEN clutches painfully at face. "KEEP ROLLING" #Monsterdon
#ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

Now you really pissed IT off. #Monsterdon

okay, left to get dinner from the kitchen and still didn't manage to miss the explosion. A+ #monsterdon

wow ok I guess your culture doesn’t do siesta #monsterdon

Hope they got a spare blower motor. #Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorfromBeyondSpace

firing guns inside a spaceship seems like it could only have negative consequences

but then im not a scientist

#monsterdon

@yatsu #Monsterdon

@trixter @Taweret Plus they said Mars was bigger than Texas which clearly just means you need more guns than Texas

#Monsterdon

@jonny considering they're also space waitressess, I'm gonna round down on this one #monsterdon

Come on, opening doors isn't proof of sentience! Everyone knows velociraptors can open doors #monsterdon

<Distant trumpet-y noises>

OKAY WHO BROUGHT THE ELEPHANT ON BOARD

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon "yeah sir, thats it. we weren't trying. thats why theres a space vampire."

@Taweret I think they'd be happier if they di... nuthin! #monsterdon

Why doesn't Bob have any zippers?

#Monsterdon

Space Jeep? We talk about a Jeep in space but we don't get to see it? BOO!!
#Monsterdon #IT #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

i think it's a safe bet they won't be letting the women touch the guns

#monsterdon

"man shaped? humanoid?" is my Starbucks drink order #monsterdon #ittheterrorfrombeyondspace

@Taweret That’s how you know it’s an American movie! 🦅 #Monsterdon

"Every bone in his body must be broken."

#Monsterdon

@Taweret Ship must be the USS Alamo #Monsterdon

A...are they going to send a message to Earth about the monster?

No? It's going to be a pleasant surprise for the ground crew when they get home? Okay...

#Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

Did we just pass the Bechdel Test? (In exactly the same way as "Alien" as mentioned in the original strip—two women talking about the monster.)

#Monsterdon

man shaped? humanoid? #monsterdon #ittheterrorfrombeyondspace

they brought more guns than people

#monsterdon

"I have to do an autopsy, right after I finish the Sunday roast." #monsterdon

The Ladies are nurses too #Monsterdon

They spend all the money on guns and grenades, so they only had tissue paper to dress up his head wound.

#Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

this movie is way more unhinged wrt basic space travel safety than I expected #monsterdon

There, you'll be alright. But that's only a temporary skull! Don't do any heavy thinking! #Monsterdon
#ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

Not one Space-Grenade. Eight Space-Grenades!

#Monsterdon
#ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

@WhiskeySailor Sure, at 30,000 feet grenades become soft and pliable. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon "oh thank god mr arnold" definitely borrowed from that scene

First progress shot on tonight’s Monsterdrawn art! Here's that Claw we're all now familiar with!

#Monsterdon
#ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace
#Monsterdrawn

Why do they have so many guns?

There might have been communists on Mars.

#monsterdon

Uh is it proper judicial procedure to show a man the skull of someone he's accused of killing?
I think? It is hard to tell these guys in uniform apart in the wonky colorized film.
Also isn't that bullet exiting at an angle that implies suicide?
#Monsterdon #IT #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

So who gets the fife and the drum? #Monsterdon

You know they been waiting all this time just to try the grenades. #Monsterdon

Fun fact: Apollo 11 was stuffed to the gills with grenades. You just need them in space
#monsterdon

"blower motor no. 4? YOU blower motor no. 4! i barely know'er!"

#monsterdon

Grenades & cigarettes on a mission to Mars to find a lost crew: great idea, or BEST IDEA EVARRRR?!?

#monsterdon

Now we're going to get up grenades as booby traps. On a spaceship. In space.

Lots of grenades. I mean, a *lot* of grenades.

#Monsterdon

Oddly enough, Neil Degrasse Tyson considers this is favorite movie #monsterdon

I dunno, maybe need a few more grenades on that grill.

#Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

So many armaments! Sure, I get it, Mars + Elon = Space Nazis. But it's 1973, team! Not 2033!

#monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

absolutely zero conversation evaluating the quantity of ordinance to deploy directly into their water and air supply #monsterdon

When the entire hashtag screams at you well maaaaaaaybe you should reconsider what you're doing spaceship guys ^^;;;; #Monsterdon

"Gino!...do you need some under-eye concealer?" #Monsterdon

Blower Motor Number 4? That's my pet name for my wife! #Monsterdon
#ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

you can just open the door, guys, you know that right? #monsterdon

Holy heck, they brought a whole case of grenades. On a space ship. Readily accessible by the guy they thought murdered nine of his crew mates. They really didn't want to survive the trip back, did they?

#Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

@RobynGoodfellow Surely it couldn't be running into a dangerous enemy you might have to defend yourself from
