This old lady has helped cover up so many local murders. It's second nature to her now. She can't help herself.
#Monsterdon #TheBlob
"...there's always some shooting or screaming or squeaking or ..."
"oh, we get the picture"
so this lady is like college aged, right?
My obligatory gif for movies that have stuff come out of meteors #Monsterdon
srsly the cops look younger than either of these 'kids'
@cheribaker "Inept Policing" checked like 50 times #monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo
"I think you're doing that pretty well by yourself, Sergeant." THANK YOU, JANE! #Monsterdon
The Blob is a VERY clean eater. Not even tattered clothes left. #Monsterdon #TheBlob
Monstrous Trivia:
At about the 49th minute, look for smoke coming up from behind Steve McQueen. He's holding a lit cigarette behind him. You never see him smoke during the film, but he smoked all the time during filming.
i can't believe no one is smoking tho
Pennsylvania Taffy!
Now available at Stucky's!
We're 30 min in and I don't think a single person has had any coffee. #Monsterdon #TheBlob
It's copaganda, but I do like the chess cops
#Monsterdon #TheBlob1958
#Monsterdon The cops, ready to blithely ignore a hysterical report of a sudden death. Except good olβ Dave.
rename the movie to THE MASS
"This THING it killed the doc." Wrong movie there Steve. #Monsterdon #TheBlob
well well well a secret chess drawer #monsterdon
"Late at night when I'm here by myself... I play with myself. IN CHESS YOU PERVERTS" #monsterdon #Monsterdong
"teenager" realizing he's out of his depths and going for authority figures is actually kind of refreshing on the face of it tho. #monsterdon
#monsterdon hubby says he'll be very disappointed if someone hasn't made at least one "that's what she said" joke
@Taweret Nothing will stop it! Let's shoot it!
#monsterdon
Acid throw spooked the birds #Monsterdon
Smart doctor! Strange thing just ate a person and he's immediately like "we've got to kill it!" So many horror movie people would want to study it or something.
#Monsterdon #TheBlob1958
we have reached "shoot the blob" at an absolute breakneck pace #monsterdon
I feel like this would be better with red/blue cardboard glasses.
RIP one old man.
Doc's quick to burn the Blob with acid. Good job doc.
#Monsterdon #TheBlob
AND SO, SINCE IT ACTS JUST LIKE AN ACID, LET US APPLY ACID AS A WEAPON
"Oh Doctor I'm afraid!" That was some ACTING. #monsterdon #TheBlob
'it must have absorbed the old man completely' is a weird conclusion to leap to
We can't try corticilic acid, that's not even a thing! #monsterdon
BEACHBALL OF DEATH #Monsterdon
Awww. Look at da lil pupper~~
#Monsterdon #TheBlob
I love this dog. I hope he lives through this movie. #Monsterdon
Yes, because dogs and houses make entirely different sounds... #monsterdon
Finally back to the only reasonable person in this show: the dog.
#Monsterdon #TheBlob1958
im afraid you have a care of early onset gummy arm
Time to make some toast, there's a lot of jelly to spread. #Monsterdon
middle aged teenager saying "don't bring the fathers into this" - because his dad is like 85 #Monsterdon
"I heard some rumors there'd be some unprotected women on the balcony." Um, excuse????
#Monsterdon #TheBlob1958
These American Graffiti scenes are dragging a bit. #Monsterdon
I did not expect a teenager racing movie to interrupt The Blob.
...now I want the Fast and Furious family to deal with the Blob in a movie. It'd be box office!
#monsterdon
Let's talk some more, people aren't here to see a blob or something
#monsterdon
you kids with your sciatica and midlife crises
This cop literally sounds like the cop in Manos #monsterdon
Wow. I didn't know reversing to cross the finish line was this well known of a speedrunning strat back in the 50s.
#Monsterdon #TheBlob
#Monsterdon these guys are messing with Bullit
imagine being one of these middle aged actors. you've got back problems and a mortgage and your agent it like 'do you think you can play 17?"
You know you're fucked when the doctor pulls an old looking book out of a cabinet. #Monsterdon
Doc gets a D- for bedside manner, even for the 50s
Great bedside manner #monsterdon
βHow are we going to help you if you donβt let us see it?β [sees it] βOkay we canβt help youβ #monsterdon
I don't think calling your patient who is suffering from acute blob hand "old timer" is very good bedside manner #monsterdon
Rule one: Always go on vacation when a horror movie comes to town. Doc shoulda left early :/ #Monsterdon
@parvXtl lol, #monsterdon's watching The Blob (1958) so you're a few decades ahead of us
Well, the red pick up truck is the color I imagined it was when I saw this in black and white. Lol #Monsterdon
doc, david lynch is in the back and he had a terrible accident during one of his experimental films!
Yes. Let's just put old man body horror in the car.
The doctor is leaving as we speak! WOMP WOMP.
#Monsterdon #TheBlob
Oh hey look MORE World's Oldest Teenagers! And if y'all don't already have Scene in a Car, we've had several opportunities for that now. #Monsterdon
@starkraving666 if jorts horse cannot join #monsterdon then what is the point of doing it at all
THOSE BOYS' FACES. SO EVIL. #monsterdon #TheBlob
honking at your own car won't make it go faster, steve, that's what the gas pedal is for #monsterdon
@Fanfalla humanity did not learn from history
Steven King you should not go around poking strange things that fall out of the sky. Bad things will attach themselves to you.
#Monsterdon #TheBlob
@strangefour All country people have poking sticks, it's required. #monsterdon #TheBlob
steve, I don't think you've ever got anything off (yet) #monsterdong #monsterdon
#monsterdon feel bad for this old guy he at least knew not to put the ground snot in his mouth this movie...
Do not taunt happy fun blob #monsterdon
Reminds me of those old Palmolive "You're soaking in it." commercials. #Monsterdon #YesImOld
I think for "monster reveals a new power" you need to first establish a baseline for the powers of the monster, so i am not counting the initial blobbing of the guy #monsterdon
Also, that "huh" was just masterful undereaction.#Monsterdon
Baby's first meal :3 #Monsterdon
Didn't he listen to the song about being careful of the bloob? Seriously!
well isn't that handy #monsterdon
not david lynch makes a cameo appearance as "man who pokes ball with stick"
So many many tropes in this that were started/done best in this. Teenagers at makeout point. Old hermit finds the monster. #Monsterdon #TheBlob
#Monsterdon Looks like a tiny cratered moon, hatches like a Luna-tick.
#monsterdon Steve McQueen was 28 when this movie was made
#Monsterdon Always listen when the dog tells you Evil Is Afoot.
Well, or thereβs a squirrel.
Aw hell, they've crashed into the opening of The Giant Spider Invasion D: #Monsterdon
I love the opening music for The Blob! Not sure I've seen it start to finish before. #Monsterdon
You tell him, Jane! Make him use the name you identify by!
Meteor totally landed on an orchestra. #Monsterdon #TheBlob
#Monsterdon And just like that his romantic evening crashed and burned.
Steve McQueen was Helen Crumpβs boyfriend when they were pseudo-teenagers #Monsterdon
starring Steve McQueen as Steve McQueen #monsterdon
Steve always looked like he was on the rough side of 35, didn't he? #Monsterdon
we're starting off with some tongue action... Janie, girl
#Monsterdon Poke it with a stick! That's always a great idea! #TheBlob
#monsterdon OMFG :music-notes: "BeeeeWare of the blob it..." I feel like we're being spoiled already this week
Lmao I love the music #monsterdon #theblob
"Beware of The Blob, it creeps
And leaps and glides and slides
Across the floor
Right through the door
And all around the wall
A splotch, a blotch
Be careful of The Blob"
#TheBlob #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon This theme song πΆ has a beat, and you could definitely dance to it, but Iβd be nervous to see that dance.
oooooh we got big band gringo rumba! #Monsterdon #TheBlob
WE GOT CREEPING, LEAPING, GLIDING SLIDING MOVIE SIGN! #Monsterdon #TheBlob
@podsothoth where does one find out the movie each week? (The #monsterdon hashtag showing up on my feed usually reveals the film but only after things are already well under way or already over.)
Ranking the entries in the The Trilogy on #Monsterdon from most enjoyable to least enjoyable, I'd say:
THE STUFF
THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD
THE BLOB
Which is not to say that I didn't like THE BLOB, but it is definitely the weak member of that line-up for me. That's good ol' fashioned monster flick, though!
#Monsterdon
If the writer of *this* classic horror piece had written The Blobβ¦
