Dude's about to get eaten by a Dilophasaurus. #Monsterdon

This wouldn't be out of place in #PacificDrive I feel #Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

why's the car stopped?
it's scared.

#WrongMovie #monsterdon

There’s a light…

Over at the Frankenstein place…

Kick it!

#Monsterdon

Suddenly I have lost my appetite for this Godforsaken food #Monsterdon

Didn't he pass a castle a few miles back? #Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

Thunder crashes. Volkswagen Beetle stalls.

Sounds about right

#monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods

@trixter Ow! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Big things... like a GIANT C... hahaahahha... you thought I'd do it. Didn't you? GIANT FRIKKEN... CCCC.... ROOSTER. Muahahahahaha!

Tiny mothras.

#Monsterdon

that _would_ have been big creepy but she just kind of ... left her hand there forever, for no apparent reason

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

Wouldn't those things only eat like rotting stuff and fruit or whatever? Not, you know, human flesh?

Also, are they paralyzing or something? Why is she just standing there holding her hand out for them to eat?

#Monsterdon

“Anything happen today, sir”? #Monsterdon

@wohali Big Maggot Syndrome

#monsterdon

Okay, so I guess we gave up on calling emergency services, and the PR guy died, so we drove back to the car boat, where we spread rumors.

Meanwhile, hat gal is stewing in her cabin, looking suspiciously toward all the corners in case there are giant rats there (she has giant rat holes in her walls, which seems like an occupational hazard). She discovers that something knocked over her canned peaches.

#monsterdon

That's what you get for trying to hunt bambi
#monsterdon

raises eyebrow Predatory…caterpillars? Uh, OK.

#Monsterdon

Okay, that was legitimately unpleasant. 💯 points to the movie. Ew.

#monsterdon #thefoodofthegods

Carnivorous caterpillars?

#Monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods

Oh great. A grub error

#Monsterdon

Ah! A big red beetle! 🐞 #PunchBuggy #Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

Lots of good protein!
#monsterdon

Giant meal worms!

Quick, go feed them to the giant chickens!

#Monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods

Ah damn, I was hoping it was gonna be cute rodents

#Monsterdon

why isn't she shaking her arm like crazy!?!?!?!

#monsterdon

@Lazarou Oh that is deep.

#Monsterdon

I like that her hand is covered with giant maggots and she's just looking at them. MOVE MY HAND? SIR, THIS IS A RESPECTABLE FARM. #monsterdon

NOT THE PEACH PRESERVES

DASH IT ALL

#monsterdon

You could, I dunno, pull your hand out of the maggots

#monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods

My canned peaches!!! #monsterdon

juicy!

#monsterdon

Romantic theme for the peach preserves.

#monsterdon

This movie could use a script editor and direction.

Oh, peaches!

Oh, Gawd aaaaa! #monsterdon

#monsterdon Our cut rate Shelly Winters has a hat.

why would you just hold your hand there??

#Monsterdon

Side note about Pepsinae: whenever anyone posts a pic of a pompilid dragging away a spider, everyone's like OoOoo it's a tArAnTuLa HaWk WaSp!!! No. Does that Australian huntsman look like a southwestern U. S. tarantula to you? There are thousands of different spider-hunting wasps worldwide and they prey on all different kinds of spiders. Not all are as large and formidable as the pepsines.

#Monsterdon

@yatsu @CactuarJoe I won't mourn Davis who was after that deer. BTW, I'm pretty sure H. G. Wells didn't start any book with modern American football players, but I enjoyed how it was that MarJoe and his friends ended up on the island: #Monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods

Lady, maybe you shoud take your hand of this maggots
#monsterdon

You know, I also have to wonder...

So apparently the chickens will not touch the "food of the gods" unless they specifically mix it in.

Yet apparently everything that moves is now eating it?

I'm sure this movie is actually very consistent, I'm just having troubles keeping up with all its complexities.

#Monsterdon

YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!
#Monsterdon

kirkland brand peaches with the labels off?! Lady, you're no farmer!

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

"Oh damn, giant peaches again. Gotta staple that nephew of mine to the pit again." #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🐓 🐇 🐄 🌽 🥚 🍿 👺 😱

oh no not the peaches

Just...move your hand....

#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

You know, my ambrosia salad really does look like the food the gods gave her. I guess I'll wake up as a giant tomorrow! #Monsterdon

@Lazarou What does the ferry signify.

#Monsterdon

shh bro you're blowing your cover in what other circumstance would you ask someone if they have seen anything big #monsterdon

Jerry? Is that you?
#monsterdon

Perhaps the US auto industry fed the cars the food of the gods and that's why trucks are so damn big now.

#monsterdon #thefoodofthegods

Guy walking off like, "Ugh, another one of these tourists asking about 'big things', they should all sod off."

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

DAMN RATS STEALING POTATOES AND PEACHES... #monsterdon

#monsterdon
Did he tell you about seeing some big things? DID HE??

@wohali [nudging my date] there it is

#Monsterdon

@moira #monsterdon

I'm pretty sure the old man on the ferry's flirting with him...

@wohali Oooooohh I am dumb.

#Monsterdon

@jonny

Blessed are the little ones.
#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

"So what I wanna know is, how does a guy with all that luck have this happen to him?" [dramatic music sting]

You're right, Marjoe Gortner is getting attacked by giant animals on purpose, for attention

#Monsterdon

I'm guessing there was no USDA testing on those chickens. #monsterdon

Mr Skinner isn't gonna know exactly what to do is he?

#monsterdon

@jonny Why, there would be a veritable Village of the Giants! #monsterdon

The mosquito's about to get her, isn't it...
#Monsterdon

They're gonna need a bigger boat

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🐓 🐇 🐄 🌽 🥚 🍿 👺 😱

So I am joining us late because this windows machine needed a million hours to update itself but I’ve been watching and who here also needs that beautiful appalousa horsie that marjoe was riding???

@kshernandez

Somebo...ahhhh sed, somebody needs to call Foghorn and find out who pissed off Miss Prissy..

#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

ok now go back and tell everyone about the giant chickens because holy shit there are giant chickens and a food that makes things giant over there and that seems important for people to know #monsterdon

Yeah, this is really bizarrely awful 😳 #Monsterdon

I hope there's no wolverines or cougars around. #monsterdon

Consult the script maybe? #Monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods

If you die in Canada, do you die in real life?

#monsterdon

@Taweret u should ride a ferry!!

#monsterdon

The daily commute. Brutal
#monsterdon

Anyway, big game Sunday so we gotta skedaddle.

#Monsterdon

And then they went home. The End. #Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

@jonny

Like "The Stuff"!
People naturally want to eat goo bubbling up from he earth!

#Monsterdon

Yup, slow and steady landing
#monsterdon

look at that ferry ramp....lovely.....

#Monsterdon

@wohali Wait I don't get it probably because I am slow.

#Monsterdon

You never expect a football star to be taken out by a giant mosquito. #Monsterdon

No one is noticing the very obvious form of a body under a blanket in the back of their jeep?

#Monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods

So, they left theyir buddie out there. neat.
#monsterdon

Football logic, it also works!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon The dialogue coach is very direct.

SO the titular food of the gods is oatmeal chickens eat?
#Monsterdon #FoodoftheGods

They already hinted at the name of the movie 😆 #FotG
#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

Oh boy, that's a tarantula hawk wasp (the spider-hunting wasp family Pompilidae, subfamily Pepsinae). That's the one where the sadly late Justin Schmidt recommended if you get stung by one, "just lay down and scream."

Like most solitary wasps, they're actually pretty chill and reluctant to sting. They won't start a fight…but they will end one.

#Monsterdon

Turns out the food of the gods is man.

#monsterdon #thefoodofthegods

@RobynGoodfellow I wouldn’t call this hair “straight,” but yes, it was a full-on perm in Starcrash.

#Monsterdon

I'm keeping track of all the plaid so you don't have to

#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

Jumping into Monsterdon a few minutes late and I see we have some excellent 1970s cars happening.

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

After beating the giant chicken, main bro discovers hat gal, the proprietress of the cabin, who dresses like your elderly neighbor, but with a shotgun. He berates her for keeping giant death chickens, then she berates him for messing with her giant death chickens.

Eventually, she shows off the rat holes in her house, and explains that the Lord is giving her magic food that wasps and also chickens and also some really big rats are eating.

#monsterdon

Bummer about Hal, too bad we had to leave him in the woods like that. On the plus side getting him out of there would have been in a pain in the ass. #monsterdon

Nothing says Canadian wilderness homesteader like the Golden Age of Hollywood Transatlantic Accent

#Monsterdon

........y'all.

I don't think I'd ever say this, but....

I miss Elle.

Yeah, the robot guy from StarCrash.

#monsterdon #thefoodofthegods

Wait. We've seen this blonde afro guy before haven't we? Did he fight stop motion robots?
#Monsterdon #FoodoftheGods

I've never been on a ferry

#Monsterdon

Asking for sanity checks like no other Mastodon #Monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods

i can't figure out if that's made of scrambled eggs or some sort of kettle corn

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

This Mr. Skinner sounds pretty great... I guess. #monsterdon
