boo to killer spiders! yay to monsterdonians!
STILL.
FEELING.
ITCHY!!!
#monsterdon Bruh this isn't chemistry, there's absolutely nothing romantic about their interactions it's just cringe and creepy.
i just do not understand gringos fascination with cabins in the woods. it's like they've never read a friggin' Grimm's story or something.
I didn't finish this #Monsterdon, so I'm making up my own ending to #KingdomOfTheSpiders:
The dame from out of town gets bitten by a magic spider and becomes the spider queen, who later evolves into Arachne, the Bride of Chaotica from that one Star Trek Voyager episode where they're trapped in a Flash Gordon-esque holodeck program.
Shatner's character is almost eaten by spiders but lassos a pegasus and escapes, then makes a pass at the pegasus (on the moon of course) and is turned down.
@Rozzychan there were a number of scientific problems in this film, most of them involving the chemistry between Shatner and the Scientist lady #monsterdon
Sometimes people will call William Shatner's performances "flat" simply because they don't understand his gift for subtlety when it comes to being attacked by tarantulas. It's a common mistake
these fuckers are really shooting this movie from the point of view of the spiders. i can't even.
NO PUPPY! DON'T GO AFTER THE MUTANT SPIDERS!!!
so our lady scientists just went on a whole thing about DDT and insecticides. we got us an environmental movie about ecocide.
lol we were joking that Shatner was the real monster but Cowboy Misogynist Shatner really is the monster of this piece here
Big Dana Scully vibes from the Government lady there, don't let Mulder dick you around lady
Watch out lady, here comes the Shat Attack!
poor sheriff died of water toweritis.
i don't know about y'all, but a guy that shtoops his dead brother's widow is just neither kosher nor halal.
If the spiders don't kill you, the over-acting will.
#Monsterdon
Surprising Bechdel Test pass
That's not an ethical way to transit a large land mammal
all that wood paneling. OMG
oooops! she called him his brother's name. that's a stiffy interruptus right there.
I mean we didn't really see enough of spider society to say they are a Monarchy, they could be a pretend Democracy, some kind of cooperative, a Jazzocracy, anything.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK THAT'S A FREAKY ENDING!!!!! and, actually, very on point for the movie. well done.
THEY GOT SHATNER! the Shat got tarantulaed!!!
the dead people covered in cobwebs are the monsters we met along the way.
how much you wanna bet there's kamikaze spiders in that airplane.
Are they drinking while babysitting in the desert?
Proper Boomer parenting
She'll never see her husband in human form again.
WTF lady scientist just milked a spider??!?!
there's gonna be a spider in that damn cabin because there's always a spider in those damn cabins in the woods.
i hate, hate, hate the woods.
I KNEW HE WAS GONNA GET BIT BY A SPIDER! you never put your hand in a tire like that because that's were the vermin hide you dingbat!
Seeing this evening's #Monsterdon posts about #KingdomOfTheSpiders and fondly remembering my teenage obsession with the movie #Arachnophobia. Spiders have always freaked me out -- I guess watching that movie over and over again was my attempt at "flooding." Lol, it didn't work. 😆
Easily, the Shatner is more creepy than the Spiders in this movie.
Again, is that the intention?
I'm hoping the king spider has a little crown for easy identification. #Monsterdon
That motorhome will be your tombs
@CactuarJoe "CIA mind control experiements.....in league with William Shatner and the Rand Corporation..."
This fuse box scene is not exactly Jurassic Park
C'mon Shatner, double-fist punch a spider already! #Monsterdon

Doesn't anyone have an AM radio?
#monsterdon
lol, County Fair horror, so many webbed humans and the cop just drives past and away
where the fuck did they find so many spiders to make this movie?!?!
"the tarantulas have organized themselves into an aggressive army"
Crossing my fingers someone comes back as a were-spider. #Monsterdon
THEY BIT HIM! he gonna die.
THEY ATE THE MOM!!!!
NOOOOOOOO! THEY'RE GONNA EAT THE LITTLE GIRL!!!!
lol, there's no spiders and the pilot is just high as fuck
lol, spiders web-bukkake'd him!
Spiders on my face and I can't get them off!!
Oh dear fuck, nooooooooooo
Why is she kissing him? That wouldn't happen in real life, you men, you clowns!
OMG this guy is a predator........he's just abducted a woman he's just driven off the road?!
What IS this?!
No bear would drive you off the road to get your attention...
#Monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders
Props to the Pretty Dame for gently petting the spider she finds, talking to it kindly and politely setting it outside.
#Monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders
We have an obligatory shower scene, because we have a Pretty Dame, but there are no nipples. Anyway, a spider is stalking her.
#Monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders
Characters in Descending Order of XP:

Rosie the Riveter (level 1 industrial laborer)
Cow (level 1 cow, RIP I think)
Spider (level unknown, quantity unknown but probably large)
#Monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders
In this movie I learned that cow scientists have the power to quarantine people, unlike normal scientists.
#Monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders
After a terrified moo, implying that the cow was eaten by a spider, the camera cuts to william shatner, who is a cowboy.
He lassoes down a steer and gives it a shot, which is probably those antibiotics that farmers give to healthy cows to create antibiotic resistant superplagues.
the woods make me itchy. am already feeling itchy just looking at all that wood.
This cow has a lot of character building...
2 black ranchers?!?! uh-oh... who's gonna die first in this movie?
@davesdogmaggie ...but they do make a lovely wig for Shatner #monsterdon
@moira @diazona @Taweret@octodon.social a sea of spider silk #monsterdon
@diazona @Taweret@octodon.social it's completely on brand for Monsterdon, just needed the Sea
Sure, the spiders have taken over the world, but do they really know how to run a working government or economy? #Monsterdon
So overnight the Spiders took over the Earth.
The End
Yay! The spiders won! Woot! #TeamSpider #Monsterdon
feel even more itchy now
am itchy
Shit one of the spiders is an electrician. #monsterdon
I am upset at the killing of real spiders
"HOSE THE CHILD DOWN WITH FOAM, HOSE IT!"
"The spiders have organised themselves into an aggressive army, clearly"
Next will be a system of Government, and currency. Culture, sports.....Spiders have ideas for this place.
How many tranqs is that housewife on?
The spiders are not creepy, I am concerned for their well being, was that the intention?
NOOOOOOOOOOOO THAT LITTLE GIRL IS GONNA BE EATEN BY THE SPIDERS!!!! WHY DO YOU LEAVE HER ALONE LIKE THAT?!?!?
Someday I like to get a cute jumping spider. #Monsterdon
Watch your drink lady, don't leave it alone with him.
Bears.
That child grew up to be Kristi Noem.
Sideboob for the teenage boys there, this is what they did before internet porn, fucking dark ages
ahh, shower spiders. Excellent. I do actually have a spider in our shower and I'm amazed how it hangs on in there, the crazy idiot.
Just go ahead and append "little lady" to every line in your head. It's implied.
#monsterdon
I do like how red the inside of her car is, I had a toy like that as a child.
unnecessarily exciting driving music #monsterdon
you're not gonna quarantine us? social distancing ain't new my friends.
the camera from Bessie (am calling her Bessie) the cow's point of view is absolutely brilliant and hilarious.
Nothing instills a sense of creeping horror for me than country music. #Monsterdon
this opening is giving me Chaco Canyon (New Mexico) vibes. and it's opening with a country song? we're gonna get spider cowboys or something?
@blogdiva @Taweret@octodon.social boo to Cowboy Shatner! Thanks everyone for joining in! #monsterdon
@paco "Help, help, I am being oppressed, see the violence inherent in the system!" #monsterdon
It's strangely comforting to get a good old classic #Monsterdon non-ending
Thanks for hosting @Taweret!
Did they just run out of ideas at that point? Was it all a Shatner venom-dream?
Gonna need a palette-cleanser after that one.
That's spiders talking on the radio, they're that clever, leading the remaining humans astray.....
Love how pissy he is about the suggestion that he look out a window instead of opening the door to killer spiders. #monsterdon
