@blogdiva Frankly, it's more fun NOT to participate in #monsterdon and just get shit like this completely out of context.

Like, is this Jodie Foster from Contact? Sigourney Weaver from Alien? Who cares, girl is out here SLAYING

Ms. Lady Scientist, who was skulled fucked by the alien bugs, is looking all sexybaby in a transparent negligee, baby doll jumper and kitten heels

the monster is a bug like the Tingler, but half the size

what happened in the 1950s that insects were freaking people out?

"Hello, operator? Connect me to the telegraph office."

"I'm sorry sir, that line is busy."

"Well, how about my call to the state capitol?"

"I'm sorry sir, that line is busy."

[hand on mouthpiece] "There's something funny going on here." [hand off mouthpiece] "Hello, operator? Connect me with the... uh... water commissioner's office."

"I'm sorry sir, that line is busy."

"Oh. All right, operator. Thank you."

@CactuarJoe Communism, obviously, based on the use of large, bad sculpture as the injection medium. #monsterdon

What Was That Glowing Orb Trump Touched in Saudi Arabia?

does killing the mayor is a heroic act?

"Let's just immediately conflate this random sculpture in the woods with some local murders."

"Seems legit."

#monsterdon

"Oh, Glen!"

The End

#monsterdon #TheBrainEaters

Y'know, it just occurred to me how terribly inaccurate the titles of these movies are. Like, there was no brain-eating in The Brain Eaters. There was brain CONTROLLING, but no brain consumption. At least The Giant Claw did in fact feature a monster with large claws.

But like, Planet of the Vampires? The aliens were GHOSTS and the monsters were ZOMBIES, there were no vampires of any description in that movie. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon @voidf1sh every sunday we watch a cheezy monster movie that's watchable over the net without paying, so they're mostly public domain movies

DOCTOR don't you feel remorse for killing the mayor?

MR. SCIENTIST he would have been dead anyway

#Monsterdon

they're in the middle of a forest and have a working phone but with my TMobile cell phone i can't get a damn call thru up in the Poconos or Adirondacks?

sure Karen, that happened

and why the fuck are they going INSIDE THAT TINY CONE?!?!?

#Monsterdon

DAMN BUGS they're all...

OH, they're ripping off Heinlein's The Puppet Masters. Got it.

#Monsterdon

one thing i have learned from #monsterdon is how hard it is to make movies that feel satisfying and don't just... end.

#monsterdon The film's sudden ending leaves a lot to the imagination.

When that government guy said he was going to "take care of" all the alien parasites still in town, what did that entail exactly?

He's going to go around town shooting people, right?

@joewynne @sean The problem was "The Puppet Masters" was already under copyright.

#monsterdon

Guys, all this complaining about abrupt endings. It's just Cormanomics. In a B movie, the first thing to go is denouement. Also, evidently, continuity, spelling and shame.
But that's why we're here!

#Monsterdon

So, this obvious rip off of Heinlein's Puppet Masters had to change the ending - in the book they used smallpox to infect anyone wearing a parasite, waited for the parasite to die (because it didn't have the immune system we have, which in itself is a ripoff of war of the worlds) then parachuted special forces in to give everyone a vaccine. Clearly didn't have time for all that medical nonsense here - busy, shooting. #monsterdon

Me, an hour ago : "1958? Wow, Nimoy will be younger than I've ever seen him."

The #monsterdon movie :

so the bugs are like TRIBBLES... this movie is a #StarTrek premonition!

"Shoot 'em in the head" has yet to be invented, apparently.

We’re supposed to believe these people didn’t have goofy vacant expressions on their faces before the space ship landed, right?
I’m skeptical about some of them.

FIRE!

does the voice of Leonard Nimoy count as Star Trek actor?

I love this scene in movies. Scientists are always using lab equipment to make coffee.

I guess their grant money won't cover a Mister Coffee.

PEW PEW PEW
that alien is certainly from Texas

@sean @Taweret
Oh no. Am i finally going to have to watch that movie for #Monsterdon?
I have avoided Rocky Horror for decades. Despite my love of Tim Curry, musicals are not my thing.

@Louisa I highly recommend looking for the archive.org colorized versions for the old b/w films- trying to get more people onto #monsterdon #teamPsychedelic (the colorization is usually dreadful, color changing cars, people's skin disappearing into the wallpaper, etc...)

@Zerofactorial
That's just what someone who just had their brain eaten would say, so we'll need more. Sorry.

#Monsterdon

I just got home from a picnic and so missed this week's #monsterdon I can report that at the picnic there was no brain eating

should Return of the Living Dead be a #monsterdon movie or should we save it for #mastoween?

I had so many technical difficulties I didn't show you, but I made some jello brains

*I* was the real brain eaters all along

#Monsterdon

You know ... there was remarkably little brain eating for a show called "The Brain Eaters".

#Monsterdon #TheBrainEaters

That was fun, definitely going to participate in #Monsterdon again! Thanks @Taweret@octodon.social!

@cheribaker how are you so good at this, basically a full card and i'm pretty sure those things actually happened while i wasn't looking anyway #monsterdon #monsterdonBingo

"Now, you take parrots. Great talkers. Lousy flyers."

#monsterdon #thebraineaters

@CactuarJoe Communism. A world of peace and prosperity through collaboration? Communism. Especially since they threw in the whole "we'll do it at the point of a gun if we have to" thing. Thus authoritarian as well. #monsterdon #braineaters

Everyone, thank
@Taweret
for hosting this brain melting feature!

Their empire takes a lot of work you do not realize. Here's just a sample.

#Monsterdon

needed more fucking off into the sea #monsterdon

Hugging FTW! #Monsterdon

So were the slugs a metaphor for Communism, or for nuclear weapons? It's a movie from the 50s so I assume it's one or the other. #Monsterdon

@JenYetAgain Like I said, very convenient town, a pistol in every pocket and drawer ^_^ #monsterdon

this movie's even dumber than i thought it was. well done!

#monsterdon

"the telegrapher was angry” i would also be pissed dealing with all of these peoples fcuking messages

#monsterdon #thebraineaters

After its release, science fiction author Robert A. Heinlein sued for plagiarism, asking for damages of $150,000, claiming that The Brain Eaters was based on his 1951 novel The Puppet Masters. Corman insisted that he was unfamiliar with Heinlein's work, both while reading the script and during the film's production. He did, however, see the obvious comparisons once he'd read the novel, so Corman settled out of court for $5,000 and acceded to Heinlein's demand that he receive no screen credit, as the author found the film "wanting". #monsterdon

everything... peaceful... here..... spaceship.... pure.... bunk.

XOXO

also, i guess the brain eating monster is totally into skull fucking the police. it presumably ate it's brain

#Monsterdon
#MonsterdonBingo

Fun Fact: Roger Corman lost a lawsuit against ROBERT HEINLEIN, who alleged this movie was too close to The Puppet Masters.

BUT, Heinlein also did NOT want credit listed in the movie because he found the film "wanting". That's a literary burn, people.

#Monsterdon

"None of you should feel any guilt for the mayor's death."

Oh. Good.

they went from everyone in this movie knowing nothing to everyone in this movie knowing everything in like 20 seconds #monsterdon

"Are you going to tell the others about this potentially deadly situation?" "lol no" #Monsterdon #TheBrainEaters

20 minutes in and we're already explaining how the monsters work. we're not fucking around here
