Dennis Hopper, no matter the age or movie, always looks high as fuck

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
#QueenOfBlood
#PlanetOfBlood

those eggs look like very inflamed hemorrhoids

#Monsterdon

#PlanetOfBlood

#Monsterdon #QueenOfBlood Do y'all have some kind of room you can lock the space vampire in so she doesn't eat anybody? I can understand not putting a dedicated vampire jail on your nuclear space rocket, but like... do you have a broom closet or something?

HOLY SHIT I JUST RECKONED THE OLD GUY IS BASIL RATHBONE!!!

#Monsterdon
#QueenOfBlood
#PlanetOfBlood

i thought i was not gonna make it. let's get ready to MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONSTERDON!!!!

#Monsterdon

inbred hemophiliac royalties. am tellin' y'all. they're all over the universe, like herpes

#Monsterdon
#QueenOfBlood
#PlanetOfBlood

ok, this movie is totally fucking with my prosopagnosia. all of a sudden, all these white guys in white puffy jackets look exactly the same.

btw, those jackets and trousers are the drip

#Monsterdon
#QueenOfBlood
#PlanetOfBlood

this is why you get weekly manicures. you never know when you are gonna get in a cat fight with martian vampire queen afraid of her own blood

#Monsterdon
#QueenOfBlood
#PlanetOfBlood

HOLY SHIT X 2 THAT'S AN INCREDIBLY YOUNG DENNIS HOPPER!!!!

#Monsterdon

#PlanetOfBlood

the aesthetics of this movie is giving Cybersyn face and now it's my #headcanon that Salvador Allende watched this movie and was like, "totally let's do that" when his architects dreamed upped these offices for his economic develop project

#Monsterdon

#PlanetOfBlood

seriously. we cannot have futures with guys in fucking suits

#Monsterdon
#QueenOfBlood
#PlanetOfBlood

there's always a bureaucrat dressed in a suit and with a suspicious mustache in these futuristic movies

#Monsterdon
#QueenOfBlood
#PlanetOfBlood

HIM: let's touch Earth... with our inflamed hemorrhoids on an tray.

HER: YAY! okay.

THE END.

#Monsterdon
#QueenOfBlood
#PlanetOfBlood

Was that worse than Space Vampires?

You decide, I'm going out to touch Earth.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon having finished #QueenOfBlood I can strongly recommend not watching it. It was not bad enough to be funny and not good enough to be good. Things that would improve it:

* more interesting characters
* space werewolves
* less filler sequences
* lesbians

damnit, am running a little behind from y'all. am at the point when they were YO TONY and he was like, dude, i went to play with dirt

#Monsterdon

that moment of Dennis H speaking on the walky talky thingy reminded me of...

#Monsterdon
#QueenOfBlood
#PlanetOfBlood

Wow, look at those oscilloscope patterns, sh*t is about to get CRAZY!

#monsterdon

Getting to wear orange is one of the perks of command. #Monsterdon

SHE'S GOT FRIGGIN'S EYES LIKE SPACE LACERS!!!

#Monsterdon
#QueenOfBlood
#PlanetOfBlood

a very fitting David Lynch ending for Dennis Hopper... he ended up wrapped in plastic like Laura Palmer in Twin Peaks

#Monsterdon
#QueenOfBlood
#PlanetOfBlood

Where's Riply with the flame thrower when you need her? #Monsterdon

Oh-oh here she comes, she's a man-eater. #Monsterdon

Dennis gets a free pass to the cookout; for being the not-that-black guy dying in this movie

#Monsterdon
#QueenOfBlood
#PlanetOfBlood

Can we airlock Commander Mansplainer? PLEASE?? #Monsterdon 🚀#QueenOfBlood

How is it that it took like 3 minutes to get to Mars, but apparently it's going to take so long to get back that she's going to suck the whole crew dry?

#monsterdon

This space announcement totally could have been an email.

#monsterdon

So. Much. Beige.

#monsterdon

@foolishowl every sunday we watch a monster movie (either a japanese kaiju movie like godzilla or an old timey western scifi/horror flick). We toot our reactions to the movie along with the hash tag #monsterdon

some people make bingo cards!

#Monsterdon #QueenOfBlood this movie did the dumb thing where the first explanation any character comes up for anything strange (we found some eggs) is automatically taken to be correct (their species was dying and they reproduce like bees and they sent her here to eat all of us).

#Monsterdon #QueenOfBlood
Oh no, the eggs are hidden all around the ship! This is now a game of Awful Green Things From Outer Space!

#Monsterdon #QueenOfBlood
Dear Aliens,
Sorry we killed your queen by scratching her too hard. In our defense, she kept eating people. In the future, we'll be more careful and transport your queens in the padded space vampire jail we are now installing on all of our nuclear rockets.
Love,
Earthlings

#Monsterdon #QueenOfBlood Oh no I was wrong, the space vampire lady is using magical pyrokinesis to burn through the ropes, instead of mind control!

Our only chance is for hairspray lady to hit her with a crowbar before she kills again.

Adios Dennis 💀🪦#Monsterdon 🚀#QueenOfBlood

@bunnyhero Oh! The wonders of space! #Monsterdon

Get the space stake! #Monsterdon

guuuuuuuuuuurl... you need some Visine

#Monsterdon
#QueenOfBlood
#PlanetOfBlood

Gotta remember to vary your walking pattern so you don't attract the worms. #Monsterdon

OMG when will they learn... NEVER divide the party!

#monsterdon

as usual for movies of this era, the pacing is completely baffling, and 30m into this 70m movie we are just encountering the first thing that might be considered 'rising action' #monsterdon

some of the exteriors of this movie looks like they were shot in Brasilia. and these interiors are definitely the left overs of an already craptacular Planet of the Vampires

#Monsterdon
#QueenOfBlood
#PlanetOfBlood

The visual language of this movie is actually pretty amazing, really nice means of advancing the story simply by showing you things that are already visual tropes for space civilizations and spaceflight. #monsterdon

How could I have remembered that John Saxon is in this movie, but not remembered that Basil Rathbone is? That’s just wrong.
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon thread for QUEEN OF BLOOD, which I guess is a space vampire movie from the 60s? So far liking the weird abstract painted backgrounds for the credits and the Obligatory Theremin music.

Should've known someone by the name of Basil Rathbone would lead to humanity's end. #Monsterdon

Wait- what was the deal with the guy they left on Mars? Was there any point to that?#Monsterdon

So the lesson from THIS movie: blonde astronauts make dumb decisions #Monsterdon 🚀#QueenOfBlood

I wasn't cheating on you, she's a space vampire! #Monsterdon

No smoke detectors on this space-ship, clearly.

#monsterdon

this movie should have been called The People Who Were Dumb As Hell

#monsterdon

Enjoy that "protective saliva" Commander Mansplainer #Monsterdon

On the plus side, there's a bit more rations for everyone else, right? #Monsterdon

"You can just throw out the empty husk of your crew mate. Carry on."

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #QueenOfBlood Man this is awkward... the technologically advanced aliens send an ambassador who then like... starts eating people. Not cool, orb aliens, not cool. Very bad manners.

I mean... on the one hand you don't want to piss off the technologically advanced aliens because they might nuke your planet or something... but also like you really don't want their ambassador eating your astronauts.

20 minutes left and we finally have our first victim.

#monsterdon

that is some Dr Seuss alien hair right there

#monsterdon

What came first, her helmet or her hairstyle?
#Monsterdon

Hopper (thinking): Looks human, but green. Would bang.

#monsterdon

that single lady has been carried around, A LOT

#Monsterdon
#QueenOfBlood
#PlanetOfBlood

Tony was getting soil for his potato farm.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #QueenOfBlood
oh good the hairspray lady finally mentions that the aliens look strangely humanoid. this is a logical thing to say.
and then the other astronaut is all dismissive with like "oh yeah thats what would happen to us in a different atmosphere." this is a nonsense thing to say.

YO! TONY!

#Monsterdon
#QueenOfBlood
#PlanetOfBlood

Good news, the Soviet movies all the good footage came from are both on YouTube

#monsterdon #QueenOfBlood

What kind of rescue ship only carries two people?
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #QueenOfBlood
So far the earthlings are displaying insufficient shock that the aliens they found look rather like earthlings.

Apparently the USSR film Nebo Zovoyot (which this movie uses) which Roger Corman bought and he hired a film student to edit it. That film student was Francis Ford Coppola
#Monsterdon #MonsterdonFunFacts

it's weird to me to have dennis hopper and basil rathbone in the same movie, like they shouldn't have existed at the same time #Monsterdon

Monstrous Fact: The sets of Queen of Blood were not ready on the first day of filming because "Roger [Corman] had hired a bunch of hippies as set decorators and they were stoned all the time"

#QueenOfBlood
#Monsterdon

Every time I see wholesome, young, earnest Astronaut Dennis Hopper, it makes me wanna laugh #Monsterdon 🚀 #QueenOfBlood

#Monsterdon #QueenOfBlood astronaut: "Ship's log: We're approaching Mars, the planet known to be red. Its probably red because of the oxidation"
lady astronaut: "Wow so poetic."

if you prefer to watch other genres, there's a listing (including #Monsterdon) at http://bit.ly/MastodonWatchParties

#Monsterdon #QueenOfBlood hopefully the crashed aliens have six months of lunchables and capri-suns packed up and a nice boardgame to play while waiting for their earthling rescuers.

#Monsterdon #QueenOfBlood Wait the aliens flew all this way and then crashed? on mars? that sounds suspicious.

It also didn't look like they were in the middle of crashing when they did the theremin hat passing ceremony on their bridge.

Fun Fact: Per John Saxon, Dennis Hopper "was trying very hard to keep a straight face throughout" during the making of the film.

#QueenOfBlood
#Monsterdon

omg, i have seen this guy before. who is the guy that wants lunch?

#Monsterdon
#QueenOfBlood
#PlanetOfBlood

i do love a good cheesy retro futurism aesthetic tho

#monsterdon

this movie has DENNIS HOPPER?!?!?!

#Monsterdon

Basil Rathbone is a kick-ass name. #Monsterdon

IN SOMEWHAT #Monsterdon RELATED NEWS

why are some toots showing these funky images that say "Mastodon hosted on mastodon.social the original server..." blah blah blah

i have seen this in quite a number of toots. all randomly and from different servers

@blogdiva The alien vampires inevitably break out of containment and all of a sudden the military starts setting up training offices at nail salons. #Monsterdon

Here's my final bingo card, y'all! #Monsterdon

Okay that was kinda dumb and bad. But now I wish we'd known ahead of time to make green jello and dye some eggs red to snack on after the movie.
Thanks for hosting another wacky one @Taweret #Monsterdon #QueenofBlood

That movie was an aesthetic delight and a logical torment! So thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting! I almost sat this one out to play some Zelda since I'm at home but I knew I'd be glad I watched it. #Monsterdon #QueenOfBlood

@moira Tubi didn't even bother to interrupt it with ads, figuring no one would have the patience to sit through the whole thing. Well we showed them #monsterdon

“So anyway, that’s basically how my dream went” -the director of this film
#Monsterdon

at least they get the sudden an unsatisfying ending part of #monsterdon right. however the movie technically is still ongoing until something fucks off into the sea.

ty for joining, everyone!!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #QueenOfBlood movie ends with weird doctor lovingly at the jello tray of space vampire eggs.

and so, they were all dumbshits

the end

#monsterdon

We shall take every precaution! Does not put on any gloves, a mask, or safety glasses #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Worst. Easter Egg hunt. Ever.

Biocontainment not a thing in the future?

#monsterdon

Shoulda called this "Queen of Implausible Assumptions"

#monsterdon

when you find a pool of blood always stick your fingers into it before you do anything else - every movie ever

#monsterdon

Of COURSE John Saxon was tasty, but I'm glad to see she didn't finish her meal #Monsterdon 🚀#QueenOfBlood

Doors that lock? We left those in the 70s. #Monsterdon #QueenOfBlood

"i sensed it from the beginning."
nice of you to warn your crewmates there, dude.
