i don't actually know who survived and i don't care

#monsterdon

Wow. They killed a giant spider and closed a portal and somehow made less smoke than when I cook some ribs. #monsterdon

#monsterdon This is some David Lynch stuff happening with the reverse mushroom cloud and the giant spider.

Wait. It just ended? #Monsterdon

wait what

what how

the--

huh?

#monsterdon

the spider only ate like 5 people! that is not a very good invasion at all #monsterdon

Spider banished! I think... #Monsterdon

And so ends another #Monsterdon. Our thanks to @Taweret for hosting and to everyone who lurked or posted. And remember #Monsterdoners: ...a lot of strange things are happening around here.

THE HEAVENS OPENED UP AND DELUGED THE LAND

WITH THIS GROSS FUCKING MOVIE #Monsterdon

Make sure to vote in the annual elections to decide who we will feed to the giant spiders! Make your voice heard!

#monsterdon

I know the slime foam is silly but in the 70s, this was A+ special effects at the time.
#Monsterdon

Wait what?!?

#monsterdon

and that's it????!?!?!

Well, at least we got to see the worst of them die from it.

Thanks @Taweret and everyone else for an absolutely bonkers #monsterdon !

Same bat-time, same bat-channel next week.

And it bled warm Wisconsin cheddar goop

#monsterdon

At least this movie is light on flashbacks #monsterdon

Eeewww gross

#Monsterdon #GiantSpiderInvasion

ew, goopy. #monsterdon

"we need a climactic ending for our spider's death"

"explosion?"

"no, no. too predictable, too conventional"

"explosion in reverse?"

"Ah! Now we're getting somewhere. But it's still a bit sterile…"

"…explosion in reverse with goop?"

"perfect."

#Monsterdon

I don't know why they had to use a flare to signal the helicopter guy to trigger the bomb thing.

They were talking to him over the radio.

#monsterdon

I have to say they got the fangs right on this giant tarantula. But spiders don't eat their food like that, they inject venom and enzymes and then suck up the juices. #monsterdon

The moms ARE getting together and they ARE getting out of hand.

#Monsterdon

Face eight legs of death sheriff!
#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

Reverse fireball, I'm sure that totally makes sense.

#monsterdon

so they burned the

they uh

and now The Stuff?

Wow okay even for this movie this makes no fucking sense

#monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion #ᄽºὁȍ ‿ őὀºᄿ

Apparently that last shot of the spider exploding put two crew members in the hospital. they packed the model full of gunpowder and tried to LIGHT IT WITH A MATCH. >_> #Monsterdon

When you see the black smoke, it means they've elected a new spider queen. #Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

SICK! #monsterdon

Dear spider, please eat the preacher #monsterdon

It's funny how it looks like the cop is trying to get inside the spider, not running from it.
#monsterdon

Haha the guy scientists character name is JR Vance.

#monsterdon

The giant spider's legs obviously have nothing to do with its locomotion #monsterdon

I need someone to do a techno remix of her saying "Spiders came out of the briefcase." #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Oh my God, they just used a sound effect that I associate with the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon.

I want so badly to see behind the scenes on this spider contraption it's amazing #monsterdon #thegiantspiderinvasion

They're coming from the chodes!

#monsterdon

Did the helicopter just drop the neutron initiator?

#Monsterdon #GiantSpiderInvasion

HIT IT WITH YOUR GUN #monsterdon #TeamSpider

Giant Spiders have the ability to run film in reverse!

#monsterdon

Shoutout to the guys inside the spider trying to heft that sheriff's deputy up into the body of the puppet. #Monsterdon

@neia yes! thank you! #monsterdon

damn the sheriff had more fight in him then i woulda imagined....musta really liked being called "good boy" by the NASA guy 🥴 #monsterdon

That's kinda gross actually
#monsterdon

@Taweret well, there's 57 facets? then figure edges, then points? #iWasToldThefeDbeNoMath #Monsterdon

Maybe the idea of the movie is that there is horrible corruption just beneath the appearance of wholesome American lives and it inspired David Lynch to make Blue Velvet.

#Monsterdon

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

Wow this movie was *after* Jaws? Good lord.

Got him
nom nom nom nom
#Monsterdon

Eat the cops #Monsterdon

was he planning on punching the spider to death, or... i just don't understand his game plan here. #monsterdon

The little ones seem to have the same threat graph as actual tarantulas, in that you jump and go AHHH when you see one and injure yourself. #monsterdon

#monsterdon With this level of shitty aim, these sheriff officers are training to be Imperial Stormtroopers. Couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with a banjo.

@amyfou OMG I've heard that audio of the screeching brakes and crash so often.

#monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

It's just a spider! Whack it with your hat!

#monsterdon

Spider doesn't care about your puny belt.

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

The bullets come out on their own - you don't have to shove the gun at it. #Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

Eat the sheriff! Please. #Monsterdon

In Soviet Wisconsin, spider stomps you #monsterdon

Hulk Hogan goes down to the spider.

...Good. #Monsterdon

If cars exploded that easily, I think we'd all be in trouble. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion1975 oh that's an interesting model of helicopter, i'm not familiar with it

Why is that idiot holding the door open to back up the car? Use your gott damn side-view mirrors.
#monsterdon

Oh the geodes hatched, who could have seen that coming?

#monsterdon

coconuts? #monsterdon

@SnoopJ That's TV though https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0354853/bio/ #monsterdon

........ did he say "good boy" to the sheriff ?? #monsterdon

can spiders see shrimp colors? #monsterdon

Oh it's so they can figure out the flairs in the next immediate scene gotcha

#Monsterdon

Faux Alan Hale is taking on the giant spider #Monsterdon

The big, sparkly eyes of a killer

#Monsterdon

CROSS THE STREAMS!

Total protonic reversal!

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe "No cry Spider Queen."
#Monsterdon

Definitely all/all

#monsterdon

o/~ gonna loot that dead kid's body o/~

#monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion #ᄽºὁȍ ‿ őὀºᄿ

#monsterdon aaaahhhhhh a hoard of children

uh ma'am, miss hale, if you're gonna drop a neutron bomb, maybe you shouldn't be that close. there's only so much a fabulous white pant suit can do for a person, after all. #monsterdon

@Louisa Did Tubi actually have boobs?
#monsterdon

The soundtrack has some Phase IV vibes. not bad actually #Monsterdon

All these under lit shots of just the legs poking out of Silhouettes because the shot is too dark 🤦
#Monsterdon #GiantSpiderInvasion

So they spent all that time showing the rock creep knocking out the shack window to escape before the explosion and then he didn't escape? Huh

#Monsterdon

Wait, this little podunk town has an actual ambulance, but the sheriff has to duct tape sirens to his car like a schnook?

total lack of verisimilitude

#Monsterdon

wait, is this a gadget or a gizmo?

#monsterdon

He was just about to go do some sheriffing and shit, and the damn PHONE rings one more time. #monsterdon

I'm glad they're using the Chopper again, get your money's worth

#monsterdon

That's right, proles, rise up and seize the means of spider production!

#monsterdon

i didn't realize that the title "The Giant Spider Invasion" was referring to a single giant spider. It is a (Giant Spider: noun phrase) invasion not a (giant: adjective) (spider: noun) invasion. i kept waiting for more giant spiders but i love our big gal even more now #monsterdon

kinda looks like it's makin' biscuits in some of the shots #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe They're just early for Polka Fest. #Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

"It's cuttin' through the woods and heading this direction!"

As we see through this shot of... I'm gonna say pipe cleaners being shoved through a clearing at midnight? #Monsterdon

My mom: "My god, it's a spider driving a car!"

#monsterdon

Okay, I'm finally interested in kids getting eaten en masse more than background scenery.

#monsterdon

Those crowd shots looked barely under control.

#monsterdon

Sheriff Skipper is outside? Driving a car? He was paid for action scenes?
#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

It's very funny to me that she needed to use bees as a metaphor to explain the spiders #monsterdon

@SnoopJ Maybe from Perry Mason? #monsterdon

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

That cop car must've been a Ford Pinto for how easy it exploded

@moira "The republicans arent in yet, you know!" #wrongMovie #Monsterdon

Those look like some friendly fire incidents
Way to go drunk rednecks

#Monsterdon #GiantSpiderInvasion

@Louisa tubi's paradox #monsterdon
