Sudden sad horse girl subplot.
#Monsterdon #DayoftheTriffids

The triffids secret weakness. A rope fence. #Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids

Come on. According to Checkov if you show a truck like that in the first act you’d better have some clowns in the third act.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Momentum Meter shifting in favor of triffids.

#DayOfTheTriffids

fire would be like the first thing you would try tho right? its not just me?

#monsterdon

that ice cream truck living room sure does play a melancholy guitar tune #monsterdon

@sean
espionage #Monsterdon

Y'know, this movie's not that bad, but I *LOATHE* these characters. They are so goddamn stupid. #Monsterdon

they wandered so long they ended up on the set of a western #monsterdon

Try a tribble.

#Monsterdon

MERDE! Le foliage revolution!
#Monsterdon #DayoftheTriffids

So, I'm discovering #monsterdon just now and it seems like folks are all watching the same movie together. Am I right? Sounds fun!

"...we've entered the town of Sepia."

#Monsterdon #TheDayOfTheTriffids

Escaping the house where women are being AT BEST groped at gunpoint after rescuing only the woman you're interested in isn't exactly heroic huh 😬

#Monsterdon

@LK_877 we've taken a vote, most of us just think it sounds like clogged bongs. #monsterdon #triffids

@LK_877 yes :-P #monsterdon

And here's where the alien monster plants develop a taste for Earth's finest whiskey.

#Monsterdon

triffids’ bong sounds like it needs to be cleaned #monsterdon #triffids

#Monsterdon I can't decide if I like #DayOfTheTriffids or not. It has a visceral horror with the bad situation all the characters are put in and the threatening space monsters. It seems like it should be more engaging than it is though?

@blogdiva Quit it. You're exciting me. #monsterdon

Meanwhile, back at the Love Shack.

#Monsterdon #TheDayOfTheTriffids

A plane?
*Peter Boyle intensifies*
#Monsterdon

@moira She's like a professional screamer. When not dissecting ocean life #monsterdon

fire is supereffective on grass types

this is not complicated

#monsterdon

@Taweret Yeah, didn't these people see "Queen of Blood?" #Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids

so basically it's going to be triffids vs. mint vs. kudzu vs. bamboo to take over the world #monsterdon

try burning them. they're PLANTS

#monsterdon

is the alien tree clicking its tongue? what is that noise supposed to be? why is it squelching again?

#monsterdon

It's good having all of these seaside scenes, gives us hope that someone's going to get to stride into the waves at the end #monsterdon

"get the hammer and nails!" we're gonna crucify it! #monsterdon #triffids

@bk1e Dinner

#Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids

@hoppet it’s hard to beat vincent price #monsterdon

THERE we go! Jesus, she's got a scream like a thunderbolt hitting a brass section on the fourth of July @_@ #Monsterdon

i liked the dysfunctional marriages in the tingler more #monsterdon

damn, i thought the characters in queen of blood were dumbasses

#monsterdon

why would we keep the alien plant monster that attacked us and may or may not be dead IN THE HOUSE with us while we sleep??

#monsterdon

We have a Bechdel pass! Feels pretty good #monsterdon

Gardening Pro Tip:

Native Plants: Necessary
Extraterrestrial Plants: Invasive

#Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids

Well, it's no stingray, but I guess it'll do for a romantic evening. #monsterdon

He is right, plants normally don't pull themselves out of the ground and chase you, that's pretty rare.

#Monsterdon

"As you can see here, it's very susceptible to compounds found in stingrays....and pointy spears! But I'm not a botanist!"

#Monsterdon

“i’m a doctor dammit, not a gardener!” #monsterdon

given that this plant has blinded most of the planet, you guys MIGHT want to think about some eye protection. maybe. #monsterdon

@msh Hits a little different after Covid, don't it >_>; #Monsterdon

She's being attacked by a sale at JoAnns and Home Depot!

#Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids

She's been without sight for about 16 hours, already thinks she's Daredevil.

#Monsterdon

"when things get back to normal"

When? Reeeeallly.... #Monsterdon

almost exactly my experience trying to kill a blackberry bush taking over my backyard #monsterdon

When fighting plants, it's always best to use sharp piercing things, which is why we always use spears to machete our way through the forest.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon that is one disgusting plant

oh god i hope this doesn't end up as some sort of rekindled romance subplot #monsterdon

hm, moves well for a big plant #monsterdon

Everyone sing all together!

"And I really got hot / when I saw Janette Scott / fight a Triffid that spits poison and kills"

#Monsterdon #TheDayOfTheTriffids #ScienceFictionDoubleFeature

#monsterdon wait, how did they know about the plants?

Tom's going all Sith Lord with his double ended weapon.

#Monsterdon #TheDayOfTheTriffids

#monsterdon I just figured out what the sea-water hose is for!!!

it better turn out that stingrays are the plants' one weakness

#monsterdon

a Very British Keep Calm and Blindly Crash Land On #Monsterdon

The plane crash was not a great effect, but it's still a really grim scene. #Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids

Oh no, they've crashed into a Pink Panther cartoon! #Monsterdon

we're gonna crash! everyone get up and run around in circles! quick!

#monsterdon

We really should watch Godzilla vs. Biollante to follow this one. #Monsterdon

"Attention, passengers! There's no one on board who can help you!"

I figure that's just part of standard cruise ship onboarding nowadays

#Monsterdon

A Godzilla attack!? NOW!? #Monsterdon

the kind of disruption in social norms that mass simultaneous blindness would cause, and everyone wandering to the center of town, i am choosing to believe that offscreen the townspeople are coming to a new consensus that capitalist society cannot possibly meet the needs of disabled people and negotiating a new way of living with each other #monsterdon

Combining the global blindness and a slow stalking new killer species on the world seems like this thing really should get a remake like yesterday. Still get that zombie movie feel without having zombie burn out.
I suppose zombie effects are cheaper than walking plant props.
#Monsterdon #DayoftheTriffids

i can’t remember if #monsterdon has watched the green slime (1968)

"Now the game is even!" said the last sighted people in England as they wandered into the impenetrable fog #monsterdon

@blue SO far these plants don't talk. Ents never shut up. #monsterdon #triffids

The Trifflids be Trifflin', y'all

#Monsterdon

Yeah, let's just go out into the misty forest, I'm sure it won't be full of OH JESUS CHRIST #Monsterdon

absolutely the best place to go when being hunted by plants is a moor. absolutely. where else would you go? #monsterdon

Not the puppy! #Monsterdon

I can see how this inspired zombie movies, it practically is one: desperate helpless people who'll trap you and slow moving but relentless killers

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Now we're at the "beware the moors" stage.

The good thing about running away from plants is that you just go to your car and you've already run away.

#Monsterdon

Girl...didn't your parents tell you not to run off with sailors?

#Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids

#Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids I didn't make a bingo card, but if I had it probably wouldn't have had "train crashes and disgorges screaming passengers" on it.

That Triffid is trying to pretend to be a bush to blend in.

#Monsterdon #TheDayOfTheTriffids

Wait these people all made it here and didn't realize everyone else is blind. Or have they been here all nigth this is kinda-- OH SHIT!
That train crash is effective. But also why was it still running hours after everyone went blind in the middle of the night?
#Monsterdon #DayoftheTriffids

i AM here for Big Beefy Guy and Tiny Plucky Girl Pair Up To Solve Mysteries tho. #monsterdon

...Wait, so the meteor only fried HUMAN eyes? #Monsterdon

Rolling up to #Monsterdon twenty minutes late? Damn the schedule, I'll throw them back into the caldav!

Girl just barely escaped an Oliver Twist scenario :x #Monsterdon

Who's going to be making Scotch now? This is serious! #monsterdon

Thief! You stole my seeing eye kid! #Monsterdon

Mmmmmm sweet mortadella candy

#Monsterdon

Mind the gap yeah go F yerself! #Monsterdon

the train station announcer just making it up as he goes along. "yes yes, and one of the main dangers of blind people, as everyone knows, is their tendency to start fires" #monsterdon

@Zerofactorial The operation was a success! The DOCTOR has died! #ThatsUnusual #MonsterDon

Did that shrubbery just do a double take?
#Monsterdon #DayoftheTriffids

So if your doctor kills himself, the operation's free, right? #monsterdon

Fedtro?! #MonsterDon

Sorry can't help you people in the street, gotta get to my destination.

#Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids

Pseudo-zombies. #Monsterdon

all the blinded people walking around feels like a monty python sketch lol #monsterdon

Triffids look like if lilies were satellite dishes. #Monsterdon

@forestine They were listening to KPLOT, your source for story-relevant news #Monsterdon

@trixter Science that doesn't work like real science? Take a drink #Monsterdon

The newscaster adapted faster than I did to the news that there is ALSO an alient plant infestation in addition to everyone having been blinded by a meteorite. taking it all in stride #monsterdon
