ah hell, i think "Rack" has survived. #monsterdon

"It's coffee time. To hell with everything else."

#Monsterdon

He didn't die? Inconceivable! #Monsterdon

Nowadays—unlike when the movie was made—many tarantula species, like the _Brachypelma_ in the movie, are protected by national and international laws. However, smuggling of wild-caught tarantulas is still a huge issue. Because tarantulas are so slow-growing and are often native to very small areas, capturing wild ones can have a devastating effect on populations.

Mexico actually has an official captive breeding program for _Brachypelma_, or at least they did: http://legacy.tarantulacanada.ca/info_en.php?page=mexico

There are many much-sought-after species in the pet trade that it has *never* been legal to export and who, while they may be captive bred, are descended from unethically wild-caught trafficked specimens. See e. g. _Typhochlaena seladonia_.

Okay gonna cut this off here before I get into a full on rant about spider welfare.

#Monsterdon

Yeah, I think looking out the window instead of opening the door would make me feel easier you fucking fool
#Monsterdon

5 minutes remaining in film and one can only conclude that the spiders win and humanity is lost #monsterdon

Maybe it's just me but, when there is even the smallest spider on me you never see someone move so fast.

#Monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

Oh good, now the town is panicking. #monsterdon

What in god's name could possibly happen in the last 5 minutes of this movie. Abrupt ending incoming.

#Monsterdon

Wait they can neutralize the venom?! Why didn’t they do that for ANYBODY ELSE #monsterdon

It's coffee time, to hell with everything else!

#Monsterdon

I can't properly express how disappointed I'll be if Shatner's character survives

#Monsterdon

AND WE HAVE COFFEE. #monsterdon

PHASE IV.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Don't talk to me about the spider army invasion until I've had my coffee

#Monsterdon

NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!
This music is killing me with laughter.
#Monsterdon #KingdomoftheSpiders

First the spiders were riding on a rat, now they are riding on a Shat

#Monsterdon

Ah yes, the old exploding-spider-lightbulb trick

#monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

He's shining the flashlight in his own face?

#Monsterdon

it better damn well be county fair day

#monsterdon

We paid good money for that spider bite prosthetic - get an extreme closeup!

#Monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

It’s lucky they’re coming in through a place to put fire.

#Monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

dang that's some straight up vampire tarantula action right there

#Monsterdon
#KingdomOfTheSpiders

Soon, the spiders will conquer every mode of transportation! Every industry! Every profession!

Pilots! Truck drivers! Cooks! Electricians! Glaziers! Carpentry! Chimney repair and maintenance! William Shatner impersonators!

#monsterdon

Took an hour and a half but FINALLY we got some real ham out of Shatner. #Monsterdon

Spider horde preparation is pretty similar to hurricane preparation. #Monsterdon

dramatic as always 🙄 #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Sooooo ... does this mean Rack is dead?

My dad died like he lived: fighting the fusebox in the basement. #monsterdon

The cruelty to spiders in this movie so makes the orgs that defend animals into such hypocrites. You can hear the spiders plopping from the height of the drops. #monsterdon

Are they biting him? Or are they very heavy? #Monsterdon

Did they glue the spiders to the rat? And to shat? #monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

This is Shatner Method acting at its finest #Monsterdon

oh wait! i think he really IS? 👋👋👋👋 #monsterdon

EXCITING home electrical repair ACTION!
#Monsterdon #KingdomoftheSpiders

@Zerofactorial mebbie he was thinking of the grater good --Dad #monsterdon

#Monsterdon how’s the fuck are they breaking glass‽

Finally we get what we came for… overacting!

#Monsterdon

@randy_s 🤣

#Monsterdon

They played a Nobody Expects the Spanish Inquisition stinger when the spiders broke in the window. #Monsterdon

There was an old lady who covered a rat in spiders

I don't know why, she covered a rat in spiders

#monsterdon

That window of spiders is super unconvincing, sorry #monsterdon

The spiders saw what the tribbles did and they thought it was a great idea

#monsterdon
#KingdomOfTheSpiders

STOP DROP AND ROLL, SHAT

STOP DROP AND ROLL

#monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

Ha ha ha! Shat hasn't acted his hard since he karate-chopped a Gorn! :D #Monsterdon

the brass says Shatner's done for! (please!) #monsterdon

Yes! Kill Shatner! Kill Shatner!

#Monsterdon

Whyis he holding a flashlight in his armpit?

#monsterdon

The spiders have tamed the rats to use as mounts! It's a combined invasion now!
#Monsterdon #KingdomoftheSpiders

#Monsterdon X-Files flashlights waving around

Dude, you could have nailed a board up there without removing the grate in the first place #monsterdon

william shatner is immune to the spiders because of his clever strategy of lightly shooing them away from where he is putting his body #monsterdon

Spiders have super strength and can shatter glass now, no window is safe
#monsterdon

If we get to watch Shatner electrocute himself, I'm going to be very happy #Monsterdon

"I'm spider! So's my wife!" #WrongMovie sorry, long day! #monsterdon

Yeah Shat, stick your WHOLE HAND into the fusebox >_> #Monsterdon

@jonny english is so bad, I can't tell if you mean a spider riding a rat, or a rat riding a spider. #monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

Tarantula cover rat is on my list of things I never wished to see. #Monsterdon

Now you know you're just asking for trouble fiddling with a ceiling grate at this point #monsterdon

man, really should've waiting on my shower until AFTER this movie. #monsterdon

for the record: SPIDER RIDING RAT #monsterdon

Why don’t you all get some rest?

#KingdomOfTheSpiders #Monsterdon

the real issue with keeping spiders out would be that houses aren't sealed air tight and there's hundreds of little cracks and spaces for them to get in all over teh place

the windows are not the issue here

#monsterdon

Hot soup. Great choice of weapon. #monsterdon

@jonny Yeah, probably not enough time left for sea level rise to do its thing and let them fuck off into the sea

#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ I'm going to assume that this is a spiritual successor to Leiningen Versus the Ants

...or maybe more like Kingdom of the Ants (the story not the movie)

#Monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

@moira Thank you for your service #monsterdon

WHO TOLD THE SPIDERS ABOUT ELECTRICITY #Monsterdon

Sheriff probably say his butt in a collection of spiders. #Monsterdon

Nooo, not the rat!
#Monsterdon

THE SPIDERS CUT THE POWER AHAHAHA #Monsterdon

I don't think you can really blame the water tower tipover on arachnids #monsterdon

So this is the phase of Mao's Spider Army where they kill the landlords, right? Maybe they'd back off if the Arizona Lesbian handed over the deed to the place. #Monsterdon

are we worried the spiders are gonna break down the doors and windows?

#monsterdon

"Knock knock"
"Who's there?"
"Spiders"
"Spiders ... what? Spiders? AAAAHHHHHHHH!"

#Monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

They ate the light. #Monsterdon

"burt, do we have any more lumber? goddammit, I love my lumber Burt!"

#monsterdon

Does turning the crank really ring the bell on those phones?

I thought it just rang the bell at the other end? #monsterdon

This isn't so much a kingdom as an inconvenient proliferation, I would say #monsterdon

Not sexy operator! Another causality from lack of information. #monsterdon

@otheorange_tag There was Spider Cow and a couple others that I saw

#Monsterdon

OF COURSE THERE WOULD BE SPIDERS IN THE VENT YOU MORON #monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

Child is dying on the floor, but, "No this board is too small, get me a larger one." #monsterdon

Spiders can break glass now! #monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

animal safety and supervision on film sets by the American Humane Association didn't really become mandatory until 1980 because of the film Heaven's Gate #Monsterdon

Just walking in almost nonchalantly with spiders outside? That takes the cake for calm under fire. #Monsterdon

Well what did you think would come out of that trap door in the ceiling, TRIBBLES? #Monsterdon

Casting was pretty easy. “Must be able to let a million tarantulas crawl on your face.” That’s it, the only requirement.

#KingdomOfTheSpiders #Monsterdon

OMG dumbass. WHY did you open that damn vent? What were you thinking!? #monsterdon

I think I prefer The Giant Spider Invasion. The people in it are more admirable

#monsterdon

oh, she lived. nevermind, i guess. #monsterdon

"Spider pig spider pig, does whatever a ...🎶" (Someone did this already, right?!) 👀 #Monsterdon

Listen, I'm a big enough man to admit when I'm wrong. There were thousands of spiders inside. #Monsterdon

No one ever listens to the woman doctor, do they?
#Monsterdon
#kingdomofthespiders

On the bright side, the spiders dropping from on high has made the two leads stop doing the kissy face stuff #monsterdon

Why is Swinger Wife’s fashion vibe so Cabbage Patch Kid, anyway? #monsterdon

We could all see that coming

#monsterdon

It's the trouble with tribbles scene again but with spiders lol #Monsterdon #kingdomofthespiders

#monsterdon It's every zombie movie. And war of the worlds!
