@trixter According to Wikipedia the actors were speaking at least four different languages on set. Some of them had no idea what the others were actually saying. #Monsterdon #PlanetOfTheVampires
so when they landed, there was no groove in the hearts of the crew; only the maniacal desire to leave the ship without any austronaut gear and even less, without a supply of oxygen
"That must be Captain Salless!" OH SHIT that crew's trapped in the movie too! #Monsterdon
I see they've gone with the classic Star Trek formula of all men except the communications officer.
The yellow helmets mean they have a piss fetish
This is the future Elon Musk wants. #Monsterdon
well, this guy's penis is bobbing up and down... they'll be alright
i had no idea space ships had manual transmission... yet here's out old man ubermensch making it work
hollywood, please go back to cheesy models. they're so much more fun to look at than cgi
women always be going crazy when they make emergency landings on strange planets, amirite? amirite, guys?
I donβt care how low budget it looks, that blue and green foggy sky over the skyline is nice. #monsterdon #PlanetOfTheVampires
20G... and their hair was PERFECT.
I could not imagine sweating in those leather uniforms. Ugh! #Monsterdon
Switching to manual... 'cause this ship is SO much easier to steer than letting the computer do it... at 20G.
Twenty Gs and the old guy is the only one still upright.
You can't just be in a place like this and be named "Mark", it's not right. #monsterdon
These uniforms make them look like kids halfway into their snowsuits. Cheap plastic ones. #Monsterdon
Hardly the time to take a nap, boys. Get those heads up! #Monsterdon
I'm not convinced that the writers know how big a parsec is #Monsterdon
I bet Barry Sullivan thought starring in this movie would be his big break. #Monsterdon
"You can't stop him with violence!"
(they stop him with violence)
"Ughh!" π±
@joewynne
Love that twist at the end, well done!
#Monsterdon
Not to mention that twist means the whole sequence in the giant's crashed starship makes NO goddamn sense. The aliens possessing our Dear Leader didn't know about that ship? They fucking LIVE there! "Oh no, the air is getting sucked out of the room!" So what? It's not like it matters if your current host is breathing or not!
>:(
that explains it

#Monsterdon So I don't think Ridley Scott was the only person to borrow from this absolute masterpiece of modern cinema.
THREE POUNDS OF PLUTONIUM!?
That seems like a lot of nuking potential.
#Monsterdon #PlanetOfTheVampires
I'm not sure I had even heard of that one, so great pick for #monsterdon! Thanks for hosting as always, @Taweret !
Body count: 34
I think the lesson here is to always bring more than one Meteor Deflector.
They sure had the room for it.
What a twist!
TWIST ENDING!!
and in a desperate twist of irony, the one remaining human destroys the meteor rejector. #monsterdon
The Space Vampires are in this theater! Scream! Scream for your lives! #Monsterdon #PlanetOfTheVampires
Oh my god, I was wrong
It was Earth all along πΆ
"Maybe no, but you won't be the one to stop us." okay, legit good threat, actually. #monsterdon
Ah, so this _is_ where billionaires came from! #monsterdon
They should have called this "Meteor Reflector: The Movie" #Monsterdon #PlanetOfTheVampires
why did he come on me so furtively? if he just asks me out, i'll be happy to go on a date with him, doesn't he know that? #monsterdon
if i were an alien posing as a human, i would simply not speak in a highly suss monotone
it would be easy for me
#Monsterdon just wait until the vampires show up
"Who's there?" man who didn't read the script. #monsterdon
@trixter oh my god the movie can never end #monsterdon
Love the wind howling sounds _inside_ the ship.
yes, you're not behaving suspiciously at all. i will sleep
If I were a being of pure vibes, I would simply wonder through space unaided instead of luring a spacefaring race to my planet in order to take over their dead bodies. #Monsterdon
Mark is totally a vampire now, isn't he? #Monsterdon
@Zerofactorial
Ah! Luck or skill though? #Monsterdon
okay the ship going up into the purple and red clouds was also a nice effect
someone validate my bingo please #monsterdon
Never mind the vampires, zoom in and out on the bubbling mud!
@LK_877 If you're lucky you get it to go into multiball mode with a whole slew of meteors #monsterdon
@whknott stakes through the heart, beheadings, sunlight, kneecappings. The classic ways to kill a vampire #monsterdon
"Times running out! Hurry!"
Yeah, I mean you only had twenty eight seconds when she looked at her watch, and that was five minutes ago! #monsterdon
Ouch! Knee capped by a maser!
Must suck having to kill people before you can use them to ride around in. Imagine having to stab your car every day before it'd start. #Monsterdon
no, go alone mark, after all, being alone has never been a problem for anyone this whole movie. #monsterdon
#Monsterdon If this was a Tarantino movie we would have had a proper vampire horde attack 30 minutes ago.
Yes but was this a sexy lady alien skeleton?
"That hurt when I touched it!"
"OUCH! yes that does hurt when I touch it too, good scientific observation."
#Monsterdon #PlanetOfTheVampires
Put the woman who faints at surprises on guard duty! #Monsterdon
Dude, I'm STILL USING my body, all right? #monsterdon
time for a good old, Star Trek Self Destruct Sequence. #monsterdon
#monsterdon make a plutonium sandwich of course.
Ah, so, vampires are billionaires, then?
seems like we shouldn't have left the meteor rejector unguarded after, someone already went crazy and tried to break it, and someone went crazy on the other people's ship and broke that one
but what do i know
GHOST PLASTIC WRAP!!! #monsterdon
zombies can't resist meteor rejectors. it is known
The lack of musical backdrop works well. Just steps, beeps, bloops, and whooshes. Kind of increases the tension.
You both look like you need sleep badly. But only one of you can sleep, the other needs to stand guard.
Obviously none of us could stand guard.
Those guys certainly look dead tired. #Monsterdon #PlanetOfTheVampires
#Monsterdon This plot reminds me a bit of Creature (1985).
#PlanetOfTheVampires
Is... is that a SPACE Fax Machine?
Was the zombie going to send a fax?
#Monsterdon #PlanetOfTheVampires
Also rhetorical: How much pain or mutilation *must* a woman experience before a man believes it is real?
Why do they have to stand guard OUTSIDE the ship? #Monsterdon
My Samsung watch can't do that! This movie really does take place in the future! #Monsterdon
@sean Obviously this is ship that was owned by a traveling piano tuner #monsterdon
tuning fork locks are such a terrible idea that i am shocked it didn't work. glad it was actually a tuning fork activated shocking disk lock #monsterdon
Those giant aliens must have had a hell of a time moving through those circular holes.
#monsterdon this also sort of reminds me of the Beyond the Farthest Star episode of the Star Trek cartoon series.
I laughed out loud when that guy touched the shocky disk.
ALWAYS touch the glowing ancient artifact on #monsterdon
Why aren't they dancing? Don't they recognize a good beat when they hear it? #Monsterdon
This ship sounds like it runs on Kraftwerk.
goddamn there _really_ are a _lot_ of Alien shots in this film. I was thinking it was a stretch but it is _really_ not #monsterdon
They keep leaving one guy to guard, you'd think they'd learn not to do that by now. #Monsterdon
No "shoot first" order this time, huh? #Monsterdon
okay giant alien skeleton is cool
"...didn't die in vain"
"You mean in vein?"
"That's what I said."
There is surely a lot of screaming and running.
Judging from all the comments The Tingler really made an impression last week. :-D #Monsterdon #PlanetOfTheVampires
#Monsterdon Has anyone commented yet on how lucky they are that the planet's atmosphere is breathable?
"...we'll bury Burt tomorrow."
"But sir ... ummm ... he kinda smells"
"Let's get him into the ship..."
BAD IDEA BAD IDEA have you people NEVER watched a space horror movie? #Monsterdon
#monsterdon or an alien Yoko Ono singing.
these guys should get together with the mysterons and the lights of zetar and open the best goddamn vampire disco anyone's ever seen #monsterdon
honestly, this looks like an alien planet in a muppet show skit
i half expect the koozbanians to show up
#Monsterdon
Maybe he sipped too much gravity and it's bobbling about making him fall over.
I'm still amazed at the foot sounds. Did they really lay down metal sheeting for the floor?
