#Monsterdon "I'm sorry, miss, I thought you was…"
Lady, I fucking dare you to finish that sentence in a way that explains sneaking up on me with a fucking cleaver.
"I just want my husband to be with me again."
Oh honey, you'll be with him soon enough, I'm sure.
once you get half-eaten by maggots, you kinda get a sense of perspective...
@cainmark Well this one is especially complex and fast moving.
Patented Skinner burgers
@strangefour Finally got caught by the aurora borealis. #Monsterdon
Too much talking. More giant animal puppets! #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Does this farm lady always call her husband "Mister Skinner"?
OH NO ITS A GIANT....
... oh no it's just her.
#monsterdon
Just stand right in front of the huge RV while dude is revving with all his might. #monsterdon
Principal Skinner didn't come home?

“How do we know these dead giant chickens weren’t made out of plaster of paris and a bunch of ostrich feathers?”
Like, dude, get down on the ground and take a closer look. I’m no forensics expert or “bacteriologist,” but I’m pretty sure I can tell whether a dead chicken is made of plaster of paris.
he's so impressed with the seven foot chickens
It's Canada, it's different there
Nobody locks their doors, everyone's polite, folks have giant...
What do you mean no money deal?!
#monsterdon
(it's because she reminds me of the lady from The Book of Eli. different actress, but definitely Martha vibes from her)
Why are CEO Scumbag and his harried secretary on this island anyway?
It's bad enough when rats or mice eat the wiring in your car. But yikes!
Gladys does not approve.
“How do we know someone didn’t make these out of plaster of Paris?”
Um, IDK, a postmortem or something?? Corpses aren’t usually mistaken for papier-mâché
#monsterdon In movies people are always so quick to wander into someone else's house.
Don't answer a knock in ten seconds, you've basically invited them in.
@jivens the tailoring on the jacket is a trainwreck #monsterdon
#Monsterdon 🐓 🐇 🐄 🌽 🥚 🍿 👺 😱
MORE PEACHES???
Cliffjumper? You okay buddy?
Guess you've seen some shit while in disguise.
#Monsterdon #FoodoftheGods
Wait, Skinner’s still alive after the bug bites?
Good for us: she’s the best part other than the practical effects.
"Maybe he's out back."
No, you passed his car and his corpse on the way in.
When the RV’s a rocking…
@pineheap This movie i so good at making us side with the giant animals.
#Monsterdon
#monsterdon
Was Jack a fan of Columbo? What is with his outfit?
His shoulders ate #TheFoodOfTheGods #Monsterdon
I just stepped out for a minute to heat up some food...did I miss any important plot developments? 🙂
@davesdogmaggie Had serious: "Could be, could be taken on a holiday" Nudge, nudge, say no more Python skit vibes.
@jonny specifically a job for a female bacteriologist, they made that plenty clear
Idk, maybe a giant fox?
I am as scared of these giant rats as I am of the giant bunnies in #NightOfLepus.
Great, let's hope a chicken kills jack.
#monsterdon
#FoodOfTheGods
I love her poofy knitted hat & scarf!! #Monsterdon
Looks like the rats took care of the giant chicken problem. #Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods
Oh my god the dialogue 😂
I mean, seriously. Dialogue is often bad in these movies, but everyone is a Captain Exposition here, and it's killing me!
Also, for clarity, just because it's a forest doesn't mean you should like, put sticks in the hole or anything like that to give the tires some way of gaining traction.
The ONLY solution is to keep flooring it.
@ricci she's gotta be the maker of the giant food #monsterdon
She's not at all freaked out by the giant hens. #monsterdon
THE CHICKENS
THE CHICKENS ARE OUT
@jonny What kind of life do you need that "personal bacteriologist" even makes sense?
![[empty]](/media/avatars/287224a269fbaefbc7e94920b207f9dca8b6e0415d818373c9f1528359b6a0e8.jpg){kind=small}
sawdust for road?
Open this goddam gate, he says while opening the goddam gate.
Who needs rearview mirrors? It's the 70s!
This movie is much better if you imagine the actors desperately worrying about their careers, frantically looking for a decent script, pleading for someone anyone to give them actual direction. #monsterdon
#Monsterdon 🐓 🐇 🐄 🌽 🥚 🍿 👺 😱
Nobody makes brown cars anymore

🌩️ TRIVIA OF THE GODS 🌩️
Enjoying giant maggots, chickens and wasps? The rats are especially impressive - given the quality of the rest of the film. They used
🔹six separate mechanized rat heads (with realistic fur)
🔹four rat suits containing humans
An unbelievable fact about a costume will be revealed near the end of tonight's feature. Stay with us no matter how bad the movie gets. (That's always good advice)
@jonny kind of looking forward to finding out
There's no chance that Octaman is going to jump out of that Winnebago and that's a damn shame. #Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods
I hope Mr. "I know I'm a bastard" dies next
#Monsterdon
i would love to double feature this with Day of the Animals
it's basically the exact same premise
#Monsterdon
No one will be admitted during the thrilling gate opening scene! #monsterdon
hang on who is this guy and why does he employ a personal bacteriologist? #monsterdon
Oh yeah. #Monsterdon
Do those rats sound like cats to you? #Monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods
Walking around with our hands down our pants Al Bundy Style that's how we keep em warm in Canada in the winter #Monsterdon
@moira Probably to make it easier to hire American players.

Wasps inject poison now? Well you know best, you're the football doctor or whatever
So these are the 49ers, right? Is SF that cold? And a stadium with cat imagery?
YES, STAND IN FRONT OF THE RV WHILE THE DRIVER TRIES TO ROCK IT OUT
Brilliant
Tom just can't manage it lady....
I think that Caddy has been eating the food of the gods
@brooke whoever had the job of filling a tiny plaid-clad doll with rat food and putting it in a little toy car and giving it to normal-sized rats had the best job
Speaking of football, the Packers are beating the Cowboys 13-2 #monsterdon
@wohali why? that's dumb.
They're playing Snowrunners
#monsterdon
"If this van's a-rockin...."
Wait, Morgan is dragging someone else out to Murder Bug Jesus Food Island??? #Monsterdon
hahah oh no his arm
They were unusually sized.
#Monsterdon 🐓 🐇 🐄 🌽 🥚 🍿 👺 😱
the normal sized rattums were very compelling portraying giant hungry rattums!
I've been playing in this league for 30 years. Trust me on this! #Monsterdon
it IS a Canadian football field!
Did you know? The CFL is shortening fields as of next year to the same length as American fields! 😢
Oh we get to watch bite by bite. 🐀 #Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods
#Monsterdon oh these practical effects are great
much better than the real rats on the miniature car :D
AC/DC is drowning out the dialogue... are they saying anything interesting?
How many wasps are in the average wasp nest? Is 250 more? Less?
250 is oddly presice.
#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods
Yeah. Epipens weren't going to help with that...
#Monsterdon
Giant Rat POV
so that would mean that each individual hair follicle would be scaled as well, and rather than being a large mouse with same-size fur, it would be a giant mouse shooting out big rope-width hairs that would impair the normal utility of hair, so eventually all giant mammals should lose all their hair because their extra-thick skins should provide insulation anyway #monsterdon
Same vibe 😬 #Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods
If someone were stung by 250 wasps, wouldn't they expect the body to have 250 wasp stings? #monsterdon
Meanwhile, back at the ice rink/Canadian football field...
It WAS Shoshomaru!
Cutest monster rats ever. But why do they kinda sound like angry cats? #Monsterdon
Good job on the rat puppets
@hollie gambling. #Monsterdon
The original Rats of NIMH.
I'd react that way even if they were regular sized rats tbh
#Monsterdon i bet this old flannel dude is gonna be like the guy who knows about the shining in the shining and he finally gets there to help them and dies immediately
Sylvia and Gerry Anderson got back together just to tell these guys "this is not how you do miniatures" after this came out.
