@diazona @jgamble WHAT WE KNEW ABOUT IT and didn't try and acquire a movie!!?!!?!?!? #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe I was wondering if those two were left alive. The two doctors are alive but are so shaken by the experience they decide to become hermits or something #monsterdon

@superball @floatybirb You do miss things, but I go back and read through the threads later. I find I miss more of the movie than anything. 😂

#Monsterdon

Here's that remix I promised you (do not listen to this, it is bad) #monsterdon

@unixjunk1e then bark at the moon

#monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion #ᄽºὁȍ ‿ őὀºᄿ

If I was forced to buy this movie, I'd want it on Super-8.

#monsterdon

Really? Honk at the spider?

#monsterdon
#thegiantspiderinvasion

Who would win

(Supposed to say station WAGON but it cut off the end)

#Monsterdon

@diazona @Brookside Maybe the forward-shot started with the injured crew running away from the spider so they'd've had to cut in late so they decided to run it backwards so everyone would pay attention to that instead of the missing start of the explosion?

#monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion #ᄽºὁȍ ‿ őὀºᄿ

@Zerofactorial I mean, would you? #Monsterdon

I think that sheriff is on a 3 hour shift

#monsterdon #thegiantspiderinvasion

@Cherizilla It started autoplaying for me!

#Monsterdon

i kind of felt like the revival preacher stuff was meant to be ironic? but the quality of the movie means it wasn't really clear

#monsterdon

@jgamble heh, well... if the motivation was really there we definitely could have come up with the money. I dunno that anyone involved in #Monsterdon would really know what to do with film rights though

#TheGiantSpiderInvasion

@diazona

I would have thrown in a couple of bucks.

#Monsterdon

@floatybirb @jonny One spider to bring them all, and in the darkness, bind them?

#Monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow It was rescheduled for the following year, and after the invention of the six-legged accordion, giant spiders have dominated the polka charts every year

#monsterdon

Kept hoping Dr. Langer would talk to one of the other women for a brief moment, but no #monsterdon #bechdeltest

@lytta His wig fell off, so he had them edit him out.

#monsterdon

yall need to read the IMDB trivia on this shitfest. Amazing. People nearly died.

#monsterdon

@bunnyhero @srol I guess there weren't many good movies in 1975, or maybe there were only 50 movies made that year.

#Monsterdon

Why does the creepy preacher get the last word? What did he have to do with anything?

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

In other news, it looks like the local tv intro was “Son of Ghoul” from Akron, Ohio. Can’t find when that show played Giant Spider Invasion, so not sure about the date. #monsterdon

The moral of the story is you might think a movie with William Shatner vs. a bunch of invading spiders is a terrible idea, but that isn't anywhere near as bad as things can get #monsterdon

Out of curiosity, did anyone else watch The Mystery Science Theater version with me?

#Monsterdon #GiantSpiderInvasion #mst3k

I loved every single "GO PACKERS" post. That's just paying homage to our roots. #Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

@jgamble We thought about it

It may be for the best that we didn't

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

Yeah, this ending didn't make a lick of sense #monsterdon

@paco should've featured a spider

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

definitely didn't beat that one godzilla movie with the giant spider. now THAT was a quality spider.

.....too bad that movie was son of godzilla.

#monsterdon

@srol whaaaat #monsterdon

@lola I guess the spider could have refused to appear in this movie but otherwise yeah totally

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

Big thanks to @Taweret for the week's monster flick ... the Giant Spider (singular) did, indeed, invade.

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting and to #TeamSpider voting to make the dream/nightmare finally happen 🕷️ #monsterdon

@ricci Too bad the woman who invented Spider-ade didn't live to see her invention take off.

#Monsterdon

BUG BREACH #monsterdon #helldivers

I love how they took the trouble to paint the knees orange on the giant puppet Fire Leg spider.

#monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

aw man. I missed Eight Legged Freaks (1975)

#monsterdon

Betty Boob gets the cover shot on Tubi
#monsterdon

@brooke You definitely want to use ranged weapons and keep it from getting any attacks of opportunity.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🕷️ 🕸️ 🕷️ 🕸️ 🕷️ 🕸️ 🕷️ 🕸️ 😱 #ᄽºὁȍ ‿ őὀºᄿ

y'all were 100% correct that this movie stopped but it did not end but good news they threw in a little more preaching I guess.

Welp, thanks @Taweret for hosting, and @Cherizilla for bingo, and @JoeWynne for trivia and all you delightful #monsterdonians for making it super fun!

Spideys ftw!

Interesting the neither the NASA scientist or the astronomer PhD even considered trying to see where the portal lead to.

Seems like people in their profession would be at least a little curious. #monsterdon

Darn it, the collective power of #Monsterdon could have acquired this movie.

@ramsey well why would we? when life gives you spiders, make, uh, spider, uh, aide

#monsterdon

Still behind, some lawman is whipping a big spider with his belt and holster, then WHAT IS HAPPENING ON SCREEN?, CAN NOT MAKE ANYTHING OUT.'

#monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion #ᄽºὁȍ ‿ őὀºᄿ

For a while, #Monsterdon watched actual bangers, movies that were *good movies* in addition to being monster movies. And with good production values and innovative filmmaking!

Well, not this time. 😆 That was absolute garbage.
#monsterdon

Bekenstein is spinning in his grave at this movie.

#monsterdon

@jonny It is like Sodom and Gomorrah because they are diamond-fakers and creeps and must be destroyed instead of saved.

#Monsterdon

💤 great fun, bye everyone, thanks @ryan for the smooth stream and @Taweret for hosting #Monsterdon

Did the spider have anything to do with Dutch's bloody death, directly? It looked as though he just fell down because of the mob frenzy? #monsterdon

@jonny Forget NASA, just the power of a flare gun, apparently. God’s will has a kill spot. #monsterdon

Thank god for Caltech though. Right? #Monsterdon

@ricci They didn't shower it with neutrons, nor did they choke it with mass.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🕷️ 🕸️ 🕷️ 🕸️ 🕷️ 🕸️ 🕷️ 🕸️ 😱 #ᄽºὁȍ ‿ őὀºᄿ

That giant space spider corpse is sure oozing a lot of goo.

Go. Packers.
#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

@diazona @Taweret Right? #Monsterdon

Wait did he kill the Giant Spider with a flare gun? That’s it??? #Monsterdon

“It will happen again” OMG, don’t let it happen again. That was hideous 🤣#Monsterdon

Pixie: How was your movie?

Me: Horrible, just horrible.

P: Isn't that the point?

M: ...

If you're reading this, you're at the tail end of a long stream of posts on the feed about #Monsterdon, a fediverse community movie-watching event. This week we watched THE GIANT SPIDER INVASION (1975). See the post at the top of this thread for more info:

https://hachyderm.io/@SnoopJ/111004128276431553

@apLundell Yea, that is a head scratcher.
#Monsterdon

If you have a gun, maybe don't get in melee range with the dire spider??? #Monsterdon

@catzilla I think its a night scene filmed after dark, instead of night-for-day filters. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon mother queen bee? Maam that is a spider

I've been waiting to watch #TheGiantSpiderInvasion for #Monsterdon for months! Thanks @Taweret for making it possible to see spiders and butts in the same movie!

The end of this movie was like when you're remodeling your home. At some stage the producers just got fed up and said “let's call it a day and roll the credits”. And that was it.
#monsterdon

So did they just stop a Biblical plague of spiders? Whut? Movie you ended as you began, very dumbly.
#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

#Monsterdon

With seven minutes to go, I'm not feeling hopeful for this town.

What? How the fuck did a flare gun do that?

#Monsterdon

@sean @Taweret
Really beautiful live tarantulas
Fantastic giant spider puppets

#monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

@jchaven Little known fact, the denouement was only invented in 1986. #Monsterdon

My expectations were low for this movie. But not low enough. Not low enough by half. #Monsterdon

@apLundell He was there for *ambiance*.

#monsterdon #ᄽºὁȍ ‿ őὀºᄿ

Why is the spider covered in green and brown whipped cream? Is this... The End?
#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

#Monsterdon 🕷️ 🕸️ 🕷️ 🕸️ 🕷️ 🕸️ 🕷️ 🕸️ 😱 #ᄽºὁȍ ‿ őὀºᄿ

We're at the theremin spider music crescendo I guess there's still like 4 mins to go!

Spiders could have killed more but haha they got the two big ones.

#monsterdon

@moira unfortunately, none of them in the audience. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

The preacher is still alive? BOO.

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion1975 *white jacket and pants with red shirt* yes girl yes

Having two women fall down for no reason in order to discover a bloody corpse is too many #monsterdon

It is almost actually funny that he said the flying-saucer noise spider makes the shark in Jaws look like a goldfish.

#Monsterdon

@nhgeek

no

#monsterdon

Can it happen again?

mmumble

Can it?

mumblemumble

THE END

#monsterdon

World Wide Distribution? More like WORLD WIDE WEB Distribution.

#monsterdon

Vinegar and baking soda containment breached by fancy science techniques

THE END

Poor Space Spiders didn't get to finish the job. Oh well it was fun watching them try!

Thanks for the creepiest #Monsterdon in awhile @Taweret ... Oh and the spiders were kinda scary too!

It's a cruel, cruel world where all the space spooders die and that fuckhead revival preacher lives

#monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion #ᄽºὁȍ ‿ őὀºᄿ

It's as big as a house, and it's ABOUT TO SET SAIL! But seriously don't go to the Spider Love Shack

#Monsterdon

that certainly was one of the movies of all time, filmed on location in wisconsin

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

Damb, makes you think

Thanks @Taweret and @ryan 🕸 #monsterdon

nope 😔 #monsterdon

🕷️🕷️🕷️ #Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

Steve Brodie and Barbara Hale are the only two even bothering to act.

#Monsterdon

And Tubi immediately goes into KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS. But I'm all spidered out #Monsterdon

Another sudden end. Another #monsterdon classic move!

#monsterdon #thegiantspiderinvasion I was like a few years old when this came out. But I recall seeing it in the VHS rental era in the 80's :-)

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion1975 i feel like all they had to do was stand on the roofs shooting it from up there

oh, spider fondue
#Monsterdon

so... is the preacher monologue trying to tell us that the plagues of Egypt came out of black holes? #monsterdon

Woof. You don't get to fuck off into ocean movie. Straight to the bin with you. #Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion
