#QueenOfBlood

Aw yeah, reversed footage, now we're cookin' :D #Monsterdon

A NUMBER 2 PENCIL! The 1990s will be so advanced!

#monsterdon

We had air in pill form -- in 1990? (I thought those weren't invented until 2012.)

#monsterdon

Aw, feeding him like a baby bird #Monsterdon

"Paaaaaauuuul!"
"Caaaaarl. You must finish your work, Carl."
#Monsterdon #QueenOfBlood

Paul is a dead man, miss him miss him #Monsterdon

Attacked by... semi-soft squares... of candy... #Monsterdon

You can’t just lift up a space helmet like a visor omfg!!! #Monsterdon

Whey do they have "Elevenst" written on their awkward as heck helmets?
#Monsterdon #QueenofBlood

@CactuarJoe S'ok, the helmets are set on top of their shoulders, no seal. #monsterdon

Helmet is required to survive the sun burst, but gloves just make it so much harder to press buttons so let's skip em
#monsterdon

Her definition of "quick" is pretty slow. #Monsterdon

@SnoopJ Announcer: They don't eat #monsterdon

Attack of the War of the Worlds sound effects!
Basil does not like this. This game is not a foot.
#Monsterdon #QueenofBlood

that alarm sounded like an otomotone #monsterdon

Yet more GIANT ORBS as part of the science displays, like someone at the movie studio inherited a warehouse full of B17 parts or something #monsterdon

Close the visors? Your HANDS ARE BARE, what are you...? #Monsterdon

This is a nicely musical alarm. I can rock out to the destruction of my spacecraft.
#Monsterdon #QueenOfBlood

THE PEDAL

FOR GOD'S SAKE, PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE PEDAL OR WE'RE ALL DOOMED!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon. Hey, blacking out on launch is a ThingThat Happens. And yeah, Mars is (a) red and (b) highly oxidized… which had been known since the 30s at least.

@brion We definitely jumped over onto the wrong time stream along the way #monsterdon

pew pew pew pew
oops, nevermind lunch. #monsterdon

Hope you're hungry, you're about to get roasted, tinfoil men :D #Monsterdon

red alert! the beat is about to drop! #monsterdon

"never thought of it that way"
yeah, neither has anyone else, nor will they, ever.
#monsterdon

that is absolutely the worst dinner bell in the history of dinner _or_ bells #monsterdon

Man, he's got a real radio voice. Well, telegraph maybe. #Monsterdon

Perihelion? I know that word! Kerbal Space Program has prepared me for this day!
#Monsterdon #QueenOfBlood

really, mars is red? whodda thunkit. #monsterdon

"Keep going." yeah. what else y'gonna do, doughnuts in low moon orbit? #monsterdon

THat's one fancy podcast setup. #Monsterdon

This movie went all in on those space helmets. That thing is huge and tuby. #Monsterdon #QueenOfBlood

@RobynGoodfellow Johnny would've been a great addition in this film. #monsterdon #queenofblood

@reallyflygreg @Doreen32128 @aprilfollies Tonight's feature "Queen of Blood" is available at various places, but I'm watching it on tubitv.com at the link that went out under the #monsterdon tag just a few minutes before movie time

Career goals: be the guy who sits in the control room watching the ready light and reports "ready light is on" #monsterdon

Ha ha, "Just ignore the red star on the rocket, ladies and gentlemen, we're ALL AMERICAN here!" :P #Monsterdon

Why did he say “countdown start” like that tho
#Monsterdon

Weird-ass salute, check.

#monsterdon

"Ready light is on" "There's a SALE at Pennys!" #Monsterdon #QueenOfBlood

Was that ship a miniature do you think? #Monsterdon

What a gorgeous miniature! 😻 #Monsterdon

This Lady Astronaut thing is a subplot from For All Mankind right? #Monsterdon #QueenOfBlood

Personal television interview? That feels like an oxymoron. Is it like a Zoom call or is Vogue TV going to talk about her personal life? #Monsterdon #QueenOfBlood

Ah, jackets come in assorted colors. #monsterdon

Ok I don’t hate him #Monsterdon

meanwhile, back in soviet russia #monsterdon

Gives this movie a bit more scale than I feel is typical of sci-fi flicks of this era. #Monsterdon

"attention, Laura James, cut it out, you have a schedule to keep, and he's not that hot anyway."
#monsterdon

That set looks like it's made of HVAC ducting. #Monsterdon

Do I have to join this kooky cult to get one of those puffy jackets, or can someone drop a link
#Monsterdon

they should have gone all the way and made her a bouffant-shaped space helmet #Monsterdon

@Taweret And it was back when aerosol cans actively destroyed the ozone layer too. So many sins to atone for #monsterdon

Why's John Saxon always move like he's walking up to ask his boss for some time off? #Monsterdon

@Taweret well it's because of the low gravity, you see #monsterdon

@Doreen32128 We watch terrible monstermovies, mostly from the late 50's through the Godzilla years since they're mostly out of copyright or easily found on the free streaming services. That and riffing them :-) This week we're watching "Queen of Blood" https://archive.org/embed/QueenOfBlood Every Sunday at 8pm Central time #monsterdon

More fast speed of people clapping please.
#monsterdon

“Yes of course” Proceeds to keep talking and then walk away from her then interrupt her #Monsterdon

people used so much product in their hair in the 60s tho. just fucking plastered their hair to their heads

#monsterdon

Actually impressed with the size of these wide shots and the number of extras. #Monsterdon

Scene from Dr Faraday's living room #monsterdon

Moon base is pretty snazzy - and the area with our cast is *much* more colorful.

#monsterdon

Most seductive intercom voice
#monsterdon

Attention. Attention. There is no parking in the white zone. #Monsterdon #QueenOfBlood

Basil gets the best matte paintings.
So the aliens want us to pull a Star Blazers? Okay pull up some old battleship and convert it into a space ship to make the trip to Iscandar.
#Monsterdon #QueenofBlood

the oboes and brass tell us this is the good guys. #monsterdon

meanwhile at moonbase alpha's nuclear waste storage facility nr. 1 #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Synchronized Spacing!

Turns out the next planet's just a quick walk down the street. #Monsterdon

Here we see the sperm leaving the space egg #monsterdon

was just watching Wrath of Khan before this and was enjoying the 1980s brown future, and now with Queen of Blood we get the 1960s '90s. #Monsterdon

@uptownsongclub I would totally buy that album. #Monsterdon #QueenOfBlood

And ten minutes later, they launch! #Monsterdon

Did the aliens just get Kryptoned to death? Basil please explain that silent movie to me.
#Monsterdon #QueenofBlood

turns out mr rathbone was reading the script there, not just consulting his notes. #monsterdon

Love the "hot staging" photo on the wall (2nd from left) Must be where Elon got the idea

#monsterdon

... and now we're having speeches (in front of the UN maybe)

#monsterdon

@annathepiper It got all Quake II in there all of a sudden #monsterdon

Whoops, Marco Rubio moment there. Never get thirsty on camera, Basil. #Monsterdon

THank god they put in the glass of water scene. #monsterdon

just upload your vlogs to YouTube like the rest of us, aliens, leave the emergency channel free for real emergencies. #monsterdon

remember the 90s when we had giant weird statues in all our auditoriums?

#monsterdon

I was 11 years old in 1990 and I can confirm it was exactly like this. #Monsterdon #QueenOfBlood

It occurs to me that 1990 is the year Sinéad O'Connor released Nothing Compares 2 U. Pour one out #monsterdon

Wait, weren't they crossing over the Earth's moon? How did they end up all the way on Mars? #Monsterdon

Put it up on the big screen number one!
#Monsterdon #QueenofBlood

#Monsterdon. I understand that this scenery was stolen from another movie, but it wouldn’t have looked out of place on Dr. Who pre-reboot.

this "videolog" of their adventure
#Facepalm #monsterdon

a pornographic record, you say? so the one from Voyager 2? #monsterdon #queenofblood

that is truly a terrible secret of space #Monsterdon

aw, he gave her to giant helmet thing, they're married now. (^_^) #monsterdon

I kinda want to see the movies they ripped all these effects from more than this American International chop job. #Monsterdon #QueenOfBlood

They have Andorians in 1990? #monsterdon

David Bowie was in this?! #monsterdon

Can #Monsterdon offer you a delicious video orb in this trying time?

Wow great foley work on those shoes #Monsterdon

Why are all the projections and images so huge? This planet got hooked on widescreen TV. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Orb splashdown! German accent scientist! So very 60s.
