#Monsterdon

i wonder what the blob is up to

#monsterdon

@jonny I keep hoping a new chess game is gonna break out #monsterdon

#Monsterdon “Do I look like I’m laughing or do I look like I’m scared stiff?” Honestly, Steve? I can’t tell.

@Louisa It does bug me that it didn't eat any of the food in the store. #Monsterdon

no, steve, you don't look like you're joking. you look like a very distinguished elder

#monsterdon

"Your [encrypted]'s gotten bigger now, kid?" "Well, you are scared stiff." #monsterdong #monsterdon

#Monsterdon The air-raid sirens and noises off had actually started to make me tense up, so of course they stopped.

Dave! Steve! Jim! Chief! McCloud!
#monsterdon

Snitches get stitches kid.

"Spear and maagic heelmet" --Elmer Fudd #WrongCartoon #Monsterdon

by screen time, this movie shouldn’t have been called The Blob. it should have been called Steve #monsterdon

Not too many years after the making of this movie, the use of those sirens would read VERY differently to the audience. #Monsterdon

i want a giant 50s car tho. three lanes wide and a football field long

#monsterdon

@moira OK, now seriously, when is #monsterdon going to to do Buckaroo Banzai?

Interesting examples throughout of evolving mid-20th century ideas/attitudes about adolescence and the baby-boomer "teen-ager" (a relatively new concept in itself). Lots of lamentations about "kids" who are still very much adult-like. Time is a flat circle. #monsterdon #theblob

Airraid? The Autobot is coming?
Fire? Okay maybe the protectobots?
#Monsterdon #TheBlob

@ryan the blob has had like 2 minutes of screen time #monsterdon

being able to accessorize for a blob attack, sickening #monsterdon

wait how is this movie almost already over #monsterdon

@SnoopJ Saaay what movie are you watching?! #Monsterdon

@Taweret listen.

i can't judge.

#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ This has never happened before! What am I gonna wear?! #monsterdon

This movie is absolutely "was in the Scouts" bait but I can't put it into words #Monsterdon

was he putting his pants on over his pajama bottoms?

#monsterdon

C'mon Blob, eat them faster. #Monsterdon

"...ooooh, honey, so it's civil defense helmet night? So exiting!"

#Monsterdon #TheBlob

@moira I like it when they turn pink and try and crush protesters with a flimsy swinging baliff doo... nuthin #Monsterdon

Smoking does exist in the 50s!
How did it take an hour to get to smoking in a movie this old?
#Monsterdon #TheBlob

Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop shootin' Jerries! #monsterdon

A phone call's a dime
A movie's eight
but don't call the cops
cuz all cops are bastards and they're bastards you should hate

#Monsterdon

WE SET OFF THE BLOB ALARMS

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Policeman with delusions of persecution more scary than murderous Blob.

the blob is actually doing direct action trying to consume a bunch of police resources #monsterdon

@annathepiper It's the voice of Bweaking NuwuS 🤢 #monsterdon

She's hysterical! And it's coming under the door!!! #monsterdon

btw steve mcqueen was born in 1930 so this would make him 28 #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "Is EVERY kid in town in on this?!?!" Maybe there's something to it if MULTIPLE kids are coming to you about it, Jim.

"...Jim, I'm pretty sure no one cares about your war record"

#Monsterdon #TheBlob

So the authorities have been told multiple times and do nothing until the bodies start piling up. Not as fictitious as it could be. #Monsterdon #TheBlob

GET PARANOID, JIM!

Get REAL paranoid, Jim!

#monsterdon

Steve is home asleep.
"Dave's not here man."
#Monsterdon #TheBlob

"...hey copper, is your refrigerator running?"
"Yeah..."
"well you better go catch it!"

#Monsterdon #TheBlob

#Monsterdon Kids more worried about what their parents will say than about the actual monster. Now *there* is the possibility for an actual horror film about what happens if you disturb The Parents.

"is every kid in town in on this" is actually the funniest response to this tbh

#Monsterdon

This cop could be played by John C. Reilly

#Monsterdon

I just want to look around this 50s grocery store and see what they've got besides those handsome beef haunches

#Monsterdon

you kids with your arthritis and high cholesterol

#monsterdon

Oh hey! Toto made it! I forgot they saved him with a throwaway line. #Monsterdon #TheBlob

"Me, why me?" "Because you're perfect, Tommy." #monsterdon

Yeah yeah, the cops pull up, "what are you kids doing" "Honest officer we didn't" and then the whole thing starts again. It's the classic Moebius Plot 🙃 #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Jane’s hysteria (of course) the closest thing to a decent emotional response so far.

The dog is gonna be fine. You guys might not though. That door has not been weather proofed OR BLOB PROOFED!
#Monsterdon #TheBlob

maybe it ran away again 😭 #monsterdon

Maybe the monster is attracted to a relative dearth of dialogue. #Monsterdon

@otheorange_tag @Fanfalla It's coming under the door! #TotallyAEuphemism #monsterdon #theblob

i guess the blob was worried mcqueen was gonna start explaining that the blob exists again

#monsterdon

Sorry Toto. #Monsterdon #TheBlob

Steve and Jane hamming it up .....

#Monsterdon #TheBlob

AND YOUR LITTLE DOG TOO, JANE! #Monsterdon

THE BLOB JUST NOPED OUT OF THERE?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Yeah, that's how you get a woman to calm down, grab her really hard by the upper arms and just kinda jerk her around.

Relax, Steve, you're well camoflaged amongst the beef. #Monsterdon

hiding among the meat... symbolism.... #monsterdon

Kissling's Nature Cured Sour Kraut. #ProductSponsor

#Monsterdon #TheBlob

my favorite way of getting a woman to calm down is to physically harass her

#Monsterdon

cranberry juice ahoy! #Monsterdon

Run, Snitchy, run! #Monsterdon

I know shit gets good. But man the body count and action is really low right now.
THERE'S THE BLOB! And... doggy... DOGGIE!?
#Monsterdon #TheBlob

@Fanfalla ... #NotAeuphemism, ref reluctantly puts away the red card #Monsterdon

because that's definitely how you open a door with a crashbar, hit it with a cleaver #monsterdon

it’s fuckin’-up-grocery-stores month on #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Oh hey it’s the Blob. I almost forgot it was in this movie.

Cleaver's not going to cut it. #Monsterdon #TheBlob

#Monsterdon Ah, the Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville, PA! I've seen quite a few old movies there. Every year, the town holds Blobfest in July. The big event is where the town stages a re-enactment of people running out of the movie and screaming. I have participated in that, great fun.

oh jeez, oh no #monsterdon

Steve needed to yell PARKOUR! when he jumped over that shelf.

#Monsterdon #TheBlob

@strangefour Now I wanna dig for some old Callahan's Cross-Time Saloon paperbacks. #monsterdon #TheBlob

Don't forget your Patriot brand cigarettes and Workjuice Coffee! #monsterdon

and finally our heroine sees it.
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon JANE DROPPED THE DOG!!!!

where the hell have you been, blob??

#monsterdon

VERY QUICKLY DOES A SEARCH ON DOESTHEDOGDIE

#Monsterdon

Oh no, not the dog.
#Monsterdon #TheBlob1958

DON'T DROP THE DOG

#Monsterdon

This could be the end of the Blob -- processed American food! #Monsterdon

CAN IT, STEVE! #monsterdon

Cleanup in aisle five!

#Monsterdon #TheBlob

fancy new supermarket with its fancy new doors with fancy automated opening and fancy new blobs #monsterdon

the lights got blobbed, don't even try steve

#Monsterdon

puppy!! #monsterdon

"I have monsters in here all the time so beat it!"
Monster bar AU sounds more fun than coffee shop AU to me.
#Monsterdon #TheBlob

Hey pooch, how does the name Snitchy grab you #Monsterdon

@paco It must be that EyeTalian director! (Hey, I don't make the rules Garen!) #Monsterdon

Aw, come on movie, why couldn't Jane and Mrs. Porter have a word together? #monsterdon #bechdeltest

HE GOT BLOBBED, STEVE

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “Excuse me, we were just looking for a monster.”

“We don’t serve kids anyway.”

Pity, I’m sure the Blob would pay well for a dozen kids.

oh thank god the dog is okay #monsterdon

I can see how The Blob fits in the tradition of movies like the Invasion of the Body Snatchers in that a lot of this plot is revolving around just getting people to believe what is happening #monsterdon

Finally! we're going to get a dance party implied by the opening credit music!

[scene doesn't go like that]

well, damn
