@trixter @jonny Someone just got bingo again?! #Monsterdon

@Taweret asking the REAL questions

#Monsterdon

@socketwench one of the reasons I choose to live here in MN is because I like our chances for survival in the Climate Wars.
#Monsterdon #TheBlob #TheBlob1958

@Taweret I voted the other way in the poll but now I'm totally changing my mind, The Stuff would kick this thing's ass. #monsterdon

all of the rowdy teenagers agree that breaking the glass was a good idea

#Monsterdon

He's even a prissy vandal >_> #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Oooo, the teacher is gonna break in!!!

how is this still so slow #monsterdon

"Hey Dave!"
"ALVIIIIIIIN!"
#Monsterdon #TheBlob

right here mister mahtin

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Even the blob. The blob's credited character name is Dave and his actor name is Steve. #monsterdon

@jonny
Will the blob FOITS?

#TheBlob1958
#Monsterdon

EVERYONE IN THIS MOVIE IS EITHER DAVE OR STEVE D:< #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Yeah, this isn't the Twilight Zone. John Landis isn't directing is he? No? No, ok. I'm good. #monsterdon #theblob

Dave? Dave? Dave's not here, man. #Monsterdon

Weakness discovered big check, no high falutin scientist required, just the collective life experience of a bunch of elderly children #monsterdon

frozen jam time

#Monsterdon

Wow, these musical cues are really all over the place, aren't they?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Did they not have real fire either?

@jonny The Blob just rolls off into the sea. #monsterdon #TheBlob

#Monsterdon FROZEN JAM!!!

Did they not have emergency rooms in the 1950s #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Jane is such a good big sister.

How are they going to kill that thing?! Bake it into a pie?!??!!! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Steve is being strong for Jane who is now being strong for the kid, who is not at all worried, making all this self-restraint pointless.

We call this the Ode du Blob with Clarinet in C Minor.

#Monsterdon #TheBlob

“Hey listen, Jane…I know this is the worst first date ever,” #monsterdon

#monsterdon the diner's on fire. Anything we can do? We could try shooting the fire?

"I'm not afwaid! The pwoducers would never kill a child actow, those cowards!" #Monsterdon

Didn’t we just watch a movie that ended with shooting the power lines? #Monsterdon #TheBlob1958

hey, steve finally got a family, at age 55. good for him. #monsterdon

HAH! Hand drawn wire being cut in half by a bullet. That's stupid so really well drawn.
#Monsterdon #TheBlob

danny is not afraid of death. he knows more than us

#Monsterdon

yesss hand-painted electrical effects #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Did they not have actual electricity available for the movie?

@sean Some kid with a guitar just drops some sic bass riffs! #Monsterdon

"It didn't work." #Monsterdon

Thanks, Chief.

@JenYetAgain Why not? The same thing happens to me. I get Knox Blocked. #monsterdon #theblob

"John!" "Marcia!" "JOHN!" #Monsterdon

Oh that's some good hand-drawn lightning there. #monsterdon #TheBlob

The Blob refuses to be dry-aged #monsterdon

Oh, movie projector guy is as good as dead. #monsterdon

impressive animation actually!

#Monsterdon

Really, give me the theme song and the movie theatre scene and that's all you really need. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon The Blob rolling and squelching it's way to eat everyone.

Dang! Jim's a crack shot! #Monsterdon #TheBlob

I don't know what it is, every part of this film feels heavily artificial. Every set feels like it's right out of a dollhouse, the actors talk like Kirk, the "kids" are all fifty years old, the matte paintings are super obvious... The Blob, the first Big Mac Movie. #Monsterdon

Jim takes aim at the power line. Sweat breaks out on his brow. He remembers the war. He wipes the sweat from his eyes. He holds his breath. He fires.

#Monsterdon #TheBlob

it's quiet now. too quiet. #monsterdon

i say just let the blob take over and say hello to our new blob overlords

#Monsterdon

Everybody ground yourselves real good now! #monsterdon

drop a power line on it! fuck it

#Monsterdon

Go on Blob! Eat that baby Howdy Doody kid!
#Monsterdon #TheBlob

so how does a railroad car diner have a cellar, then? #monsterdon

The owner kinda reminds me of Mel from Alice #Monsterdon

They're in a diner. Can't they at least have a cup of coffee before they get blobbed? #Monsterdon #TheBlob

The scene we've all been waiting for! #Monsterdon

OH NICE, that's a cool effect :D #Monsterdon

@Kinetograph no, no, there's that other hashta... nuthin! #Monsterdon

we couldn't even shake the camera to make it look like the blob shook the building? come on

#monsterdon

The Blob is now a film critic.
#Monsterdon #TheBlob

Oh no! The postcard! #monsterdon

The blob effects and miniatures are very well done! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon DANNY NOOOOOOO!!!!

The Jujyfruits have all ganged up and they are PISSED. #Monsterdon #TheBlob

no, let danny go! he can do this!

#Monsterdon

uggggh this kid HEY! we already tried guns! #monsterdon

@yatsu These medical procedures are a little too realistic! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Theater being taken over by authentic British blood pudding. No wonder they ran screaming.

the models look nice

#monsterdon

the kid is going to save us

#Monsterdon

Yeeeeees! Get them! Faster, Blobby, KILL, KILL! #Monsterdon

That's a really good price for watermelon!

Also! Lots of people of panicking!

#Monsterdon

So that's where Kubrick got the idea.

#Monsterdon #TheBlob

Oh, nevermind. They're just playing From Here to Eternity again. #Monsterdon

The theater extras are having WAY too much fun running a screaming. #Monsterdon #TheBlob

try putting on a movie for the blob maybe to calm it down???

#Monsterdon

evacuation scene? #monsterdon

i think becoming giant is enough of a new power to call #MonsterdonBingo #monsterdon

A GODZILLA ATTACK!? *NOW!?* #Monsterdon

Were movie screens really that small in the 50s? We all have tvs bigger than that now.
#Monsterdon #TheBlob

this is the same bit as the tingler except that stuff happened in the tingler

#monsterdon

I love how the Blob, with no bones or anything, always stands up to full height whenever it can.

#Monsterdon #TheBlob1958

#monsterdon Meanwhile back in the movie theatre... The tingler has joined the chat

that's DEFINITELY not a miniature!!!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon He's being eaten!

Killed by a stack of shortribs, poor bastard. #Monsterdon

they got the theater man! D:

#Monsterdon

@Taweret I would love a ridiculous old 50s truck too #Monsterdon

No Strawberry Preserves were harmed in the making of this film.

#Monsterdon #TheBlob

is it wrong to want The Blob to roll through this whole assembled crowd #monsterdon

#Monsterdon OH NO THE BLOB IS IN THE VENTS!!!!!!

#Monsterdon Oh thank God, a moment of Vincent Price.

#Monsterdon the scene with #TheBlob oozing around the theater is my most vivid memory of this movie.

It looks much nicer today than it did on my tiny ass 80s TV. #TheBlob1978

WBLOB, Blob news on the 8s #Monsterdon

Catsup 2 for 29¢! What a deal! #monsterdon #TheBlob

Blob Blob Blob Blob Blob
Blob Blob Blob Blob Blob

#Monsterdon #TheBlob

@jonny @ryan Tough union! #TooSoon? #Monsterdon

yeah let's clear downtown of teenagers with guns #monsterdon

"Go home slowly and quietly, you're easier to devour that way!" #Monsterdon
