@strangefour @peter_mcmahan Agreed, some more accent control and this would've made a pretty good B movie in an old-school double-feature.
Rat carrying in spiders feels like a horrible match up against the humans. #monsterdon
@jonny I am in for that movie
Yeah, these are not those kinds of spider, I'm not buying it #monsterdon
![[Emmett] the guy](/media/avatars/e882d600e64e5fd72a98375fd65ee0a7e2cdd9812ef94817b9bbf1c862122335.jpg){kind=small}
Yeesh #monsterdon
@peter_mcmahan Yeah. Some sloppy accents aside, this movie was shockingly well acted all over.
#Monsterdon #KingdomoftheSpiders
But yeah, that was one of the bleaker #Monsterdon endings. Right up there with Return of the Living Dead. Our heroes are doomed, human civilization is pretty much done, and it's more or less the fault of a bunch of dipshits with more High Science firepower than brains.
I, for one, welcome our new spider overlords
Ah, close but no bingo for me. Fun movie! Thanks for hosting, @Taweret. #Monsterdon
OK so this needs a sequel
I’m predicting this will end with them burning the house down so they don’t get killed by spiders situation considering the spiders have webbed up the house now. #monsterdon
Uncle Bill went on to a second career in the TV show Family Affair #monsterdon
@jonny What would become of #Monsterdon with that kind of logic though
@jonny Poor ratty! #Monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders
That made me realize, we never did meet the Spider King in Kingdom of the Spiders #Monsterdon
So... The fair's been called off? Damn it. The poor mayor. He's not getting reelected now.
#Monsterdon #KingdomoftheSpiders
I think this movie should end with a trippy sequence and then a Space Spider looking at the Earth
@Taweret the movie begged for spiders to trap people on the carousel and the ferris wheel and the bumper cars #monsterdon
@jonny I don't know what toho'd is (Japanese monster movie reference?) but I see tarantula webbing has taken over this town! #Monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders
So ends another #Monsterdon: as always, big thanks to @Taweret for hosting and to all our lurkers and posters. And remember #Monsterdoners: No damn spiders are gonna run us out.
Lou Schumacher definitely lost a good number of his stock on this picture. #monsterdon
What a bad matte painting to figure so prominently.
Obviously the radio station isn't local.
"Spider Wrangler" #monsterdon
And we finish with some more country music!
ETA: thanks for hosting @Taweret !
#Monsterdon
"Stephen King's _The Mist_, but shitty, and with spiders!"
"PERFECT! Get me Shanter!"
"On it!"
Time to go to bed, while all those heartwarming, wiggly, eight-legged thoughts are still fresh in my head!
Thanks @Taweret for hosting!
Happy Spider Kingdom White Web Christmas!
Atleast I hope that's webbing and not something else white the matte painter spread on there...
#Monsterdon #KingdomoftheSpiders
If you're reading this, you're at the tail end of a long stream of posts on the feed about #Monsterdon, a fediverse community movie event. See the post at the top of this thread for more info:
@Taweret Yeah, a smart speaker that looks like an old-timey radio. I can't remember where though
So when the song says "the love we need to last forevermore" they're talking about SPIDER love, right? #Monsterdon
okay, so which one of them has to die first so the others can eat? who's gonna be the last to succumb? #monsterdon
Use the furniture feels like a very sensical solution. #monsterdon
Now that's a nice fucking matte. I love it.
I hope the spiders take over the world. This has been…an experience. Thanks @Taweret as always for hosting!
well im mad there was no county fair with spiders running amok in the carnival games
but
ty for joining, everyone!!
#Monsterdon my kid says “I think it snowed”
Well, the Kingdom of Spiders was good, but it couldn't compete with the Empire of the Ants.
Excellent ending. #Monsterdon
IT STINKS #Monsterdon #kingdomofthespiders
Thanks friends and @Taweret 🕷️🕸️
Spider Wrangler: Jim Brocket. WE SALUTE YOU.
#monsterdon it ended like a YouTube vid
"Dear God. Sweet Jesus." is my reaction to this movie as well.
In classic #Monsterdon tradition, they did not have an exit strategy.
spiders don't just coat everything in webs they make them for reasons #monsterdon
...So they're dead then. Our heroes are doomed. They didn't kill the kid on camera, but that munchkin is obviously spider chow. #Monsterdon
Ha! What an ending. #monsterdon
Wow and that’s it. Alright. #monsterdon
Aw shit y’all the world’s a matte painting now, civilization is fucked! #monsterdon

Welcome to the United Spiders of Spide-merica.
The spiders are just showing them the true meaning of Christmas with a winter wonderland
#Monsterdon They're going to need a LOT more coffee.
The fact the doctor has survived this long is a sure sign she is intended for a far worse fate than being eaten. #monsterdon
i think that's your county fair, @Taweret #monsterdon
You can see all this from the window? #Monsterdon
If you're gonna abruptly end the movie, you can do a LOT worse than that.
Anybody want some coffee?
WUT? Is Rack immune to spider venom?
zoom out on spider web drawing of the town is BAD ENDING there should have been a BIG ONE #monsterdon
Did it snow? #Monsterdon
lmao that's some matte
Eff'ed off into the web!!
The tragedy is that this all happened in an era before spray foam in cans #monsterdon
That sounds a lot like modern pop country stations pretending to be local when they’re all just beaming from a central corporate hub. #monsterdon
Sure, why not, everything is webs.
#Monsterdon
last shot of one giant spider PLEASE #monsterdon
#monsterdon and just like that it's over- starring Jon-Jon as "Injured boy"...
Tell me Shatner's not singing this end-credits theme song.
Oh, they're playing the opening song on the radio. We're about to get some irony I think. #Monsterdon
"sweet jesus" shatner has just read the script. #monsterdon
What if the radio DJ is a spider
If this DJ doesn't get envenomated to death by tarantulas on air i'm gonna flip the table
Hilarious that they had to explain to Shatner about how you can look out a window without opening it.
Coffee in the morning no matter what.
I get that #Monsterdon
country kicker pickers?
"Get them off of me, Bones?" #monsterdon
"Coffee's gonna be ready in a minute." *sobbing*
All those 50s movies with coffee sub plots would be proud their tradition continued.
#Monsterdon #KingdomoftheSpiders
@CactuarJoe ok, now get yer thumb in there, Shat, complete the circuit. That'll get the lights back on. #Monsterdon
rack just wants more of that hot spider action #monsterdon
@Taweret y'know I think I've seen that somewhere
Why do you have all these tools but no work gloves? Guess what the average spider couldn't bite through? #Monsterdon
@SnoopJ I find this strangely comforting 🤣
Y'all. He lived. I'm devastated right now.
Just dump the coffee grounds into a boiling kettle. That'll make some fine coffee.
A woman with priorities!
Smushed sheriff. #monsterdon
🕷️ KINGDOM OF THE TRIVIA 🕷️
Speaking of itchy..
The only injuries from spiders the actors received from this movie was itchiness from spiders shedding their bristles.
we barely even tried, we could have walked away and regrouped but we chose to stay and die. the spiders flanked us while we were standing still #monsterdon
And now, an exclusive interview with the stars of Kingdom of The Spiders: the spiders!
So, what was it like working with Shatner?
"BEETLES. FEED US BEETLES."
I understand you did your own stunts. What was that like?
"BEETLES. NOW."
@jonny Humanity had it coming
@paco And most of those spiders were real too! These days they'd use CGI spiders. For #KingdomOfTheSpiders the producers bought 5,000 live spiders (at $10 each).
#Monsterdon
#monsterdon Why is he alive if he got attacked by spiders?
@Louisa This is me every single morning. #monsterdon
Did a spider throw a guy through a window? Dang. These spiders are old school western. #monsterdon
@srol Oh man
Sharknado was for wusses, it's time for TARANTULACANE! #Monsterdon
"It's coffee time, to hell with everything else."
Lessons from "The Kingdom of the Spiders".
I prefer to think that farmer Colby did not die from the attack but turned into farmer Blacula #monsterdon
