"nice night, isn't it?" "It's one of ours, an experimental aircraft" #monsterdon

IS THIS LIKE PROTO REVERSE CHESTBURSTER? BACKBURSTER?

#monsterdon #thebraineaters

#monsterdon If they're so desperate to get a message out of town, why not just jump in a car and drive for twenty miles?

With heavy-handed narration, we've saved half an hour of movie time. I for one am grateful to Corman #monsterdon

telegrapher fight!

(side note: i don't think i'd ever heard the word "telegrapher" pronounced out loud before) #monsterdon

This is usually my thinking pipe, but now its my interrogation pipe! #monsterdon

Parasites got stuffy noses. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon get...control...of my hand....oohhh thank fuck, I almost answered the phone.

Pondering mine Cone #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

Oooh street violence! #monsterdon

@JenYetAgain

(that would be less exciting, I guess)

what kinda jurassic park hokey shit is this, "carboniferous age"

#monsterdon #thebraineaters

battle not with monsters, lest ye become a #monsterdon

#OldDeadGuysRVerySmert

#Monsterdon 200 million years ago alien brainworms began building a cone.

"What's the 'carboniferous stage'. It's where all the cola is from. #Monsterdon #TheBrainEaters

The parasites are ancient aliens?
Wait so what? Are they subteranian aliens? Did they use dinosaurs to build the cone in the past? This explaination just raises more questions.
#Monsterdon #BrainEaters

are the aliens connected to the alien spacecraft? that's what you're asking him?

#monsterdon

THE SECRET OF THE CONE IS REVEALED

Carboniferous? They're made of coal? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #BrainEaters

@apLundell SCIENCE WILL MAKE HIM LIVE

#monsterdon #thebraineaters

Nice breathing hump effect.

#Monsterdon #TheBrainEaters

Helsing. VAN Helsing. #monsterdon

@wohali also diagonally through the free space! i had everything but poor visibility #monsterdon #monsterdonBingo

why did we not have surveillance on the alien structure before? do we just leave those out for anyone to check out? what kinda scientists are they???

#monsterdon #thebraineaters

#monsterdon "Will he live?"

"No. But he's going to."

What?

"I'm cooperating" Me, when I'm planning on not cooperating #Monsterdon

So is that a jar of shower drain hair? #monsterdon

Hey Bob, why not ask him why he's suddenly a hunchback. Some genius. #Monsterdon

“Cone-iverous??” #monsterdon

I mean, I get it, a ringing phone causes me anxiety too.
#monsterdon

This old man has a bad ticker. Lock bastard.Got to go one the cone's wild ride one time before he died.
#Monsterdon #BrainEaters

#monsterdon I was going to say he had an Abby Normal brain.

Why didn't you find the dying scientist when you were crawling around in the cone earlier?

#Monsterdon

"...will he live?"
"no, but I have a box of SCIENCE!"

#Monsterdon #TheBrainEaters

Wow people went missing 5 years ago and we're just hearing about it?

#Monsterdon

I'm cooperating.

Giuliani or Brain Eater?

#monsterdon

i get the feeling these bouts of narration are there to fill in the parts of the screenplay we didn't have the budget to actually shoot

#monsterdon

#monsterdon in hindsite, we should have had someone watch The Cone.

PARKOUR! #monsterdon

don’t mind me, just being weird #monsterdon

so now there's a dying man from inside the spaceship but they already crawled through the entire spaceship and found nothing

what the fuck

was he in the glove compartment?

#monsterdon

got it, the orb is full of hair that congeals into those little tusked pieces of poop. and it came from the cone, which is just a spiral track for the orb. it's all coming together #monsterdon

"Will he live?" "No. But I'm gonna pump him full of drugs anyway." #Monsterdon

"...we gave up the cone!"
"You can never give up the cone."

#Monsterdon #TheBrainEaters

RIP that old guy #Monsterdon #TheBrainEaters

"At least she's still alive" for 24-48 hours, right? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Holy shit I love her dress, but I feel like she's about to get murdered. :blobcatsweats:

I think that's the hotel room I stayed in last week. The Mulder and Scully special :P #Monsterdon
