Important news, folks! The pinball machine is Dixieland made by Bally's in 1968!

I can now resume watching the film, until the next background object proves more interesting than watching pet store tarantulas walk around.
My grandparents had so many of those woven rugs...

i mean i guess technically these spiders are probably radioactive but the movie is treating them as scary monsters when they're still normal size, which is very funny

Ma'am you need other forms of caloric intake #monsterdon
OK folks, I apologize for stumping for this for so long just for Harryhausen's practical effects. It's pretty awful so far. Heh.
#monsterdon FACT: The Giant Spider Invasion was the inspiration for Kinder Surprise eggs
...If nothing happens in five more minutes, we're legally allowed to leave. #Monsterdon
I wish the spiders would stop plucking that thing ominously and just play the damn song.
The spider is a metaphor for the good escaping the town. By cracking open the eggs and keeping the diamonds, we can see how greed and lust have taken over the town. The preacher, sweatily, furiously screams into the void, shows us the futility of changing the town. #Monsterdon
Most of this soundtrack was done on a zither with three strings. #monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion
#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion1975 has she been making strawberry daiquiris?
Oh, right, I keep forgetting that this happened before the constitutional amendment that allowed women to wear pants while in their own homes
70s thermal blanket that seeks out and catches on every single piece of dry skin.
After striking it rich she ought to be drinking booze out of one of the diamond geodes #monsterdon
Separate beds, huh? #monsterdon
is that some black mold on the walls? #monsterdon
@ColesStreetPothole and we're all out of butts! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion1975 again i love blonde girl's hair. she is the superior one in this relationship because his hair is awful
Yes excuse me hot, horny wife, I need to go see to some...business #monsterdon
Did someone take a flamethrower to that wall?
...Actually, never mind, the less I know about the stains in your house, the better >_>; #Monsterdon
Who the hell is this guy? And why is he out there telling us about abominations? #monsterdon
Oh honey no. Don't take your clothes off for this movie. Put those pants back on.
#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion
Hang on lady I'm going to join you in taking a couple of shots for this movie
All right the Space Spiders are on the move go get 'em Space Spiders! :ablobcatrave: #Monsterdon
WE ARE ABOUT TO SEE SPIDERS AND BUTTS.
#monsterdon
@flowerpot time to take a shot
They have a pretty nice little kitchen set up for a couple of dirtbags who hate each other
"Here. Have some of this great-tasting spider smoothie, I just whipped up. It's my own special recipe."
She's also gotta be an alien. I mean, honestly. No human could be glad to see that man.

ohhh the spiders have come to get rid of the creeping things upon the earth (ie. the people in this town), thanks for clearing that up preacher

Call the police, God's muppet is on my pant leg #monsterdon
@Taweret the spiders just keep getting cooler

I sure hope these tarantulas are credited!
#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion1975 hey somebody got spidered!
now if we can just have that happen to some of our characters
"I told you I could come again tonight!" nudge nudge wink wink
I remember to the share reminds me of. it's this guy from interstella 555
NOOOOOOOO I don't want to see the back brace again!
#Monsterdon
He's cheating on his wife with an identical woman who just does her hair different? #monsterdon
@strangefour Definitely don't tell your alcoholic wife who hates you.
#monsterdon #α½ΒΊα½Θ βΏ Εα½ΒΊαΏ
Someone was eaten by spiders! #Monsterdon
Aw man, don't zoom in so far, I don't wanna see his nose hair :/ #Monsterdon
Help, help, a gentle tarantula #monsterdon
i'm no spider expert but I think that's a third distinct tarantula. I wonder how many types of tarantula are in this movie
@Taweret i am glad there is someone else that is treating this like a sports game where the humans are like the yankees and the spiders are whatever like underdog team that is only in the league because they're allowed to play dirty against the hated dominant team and we love them for that #monsterdon
This guy's burial skills are horrendous.
Is that a candy corn spider? Arachnius Candicornicus?
The lids just come off the spider balls all on their own. Impressive.
#Monsterdon
yeah, that's it! take him, mr spider! #monsterdon
Damn, this house is a mess, no wonder it has a lot of spiders roaming around
#monsterdon
I find that things go away better if you don't lay off the booze.
If you find a body on your property and decide to bury it, never tell that to anyone ya idjit.
#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion
mm, i didn't know spiders came out of oysters. i'm learning things. #monsterdon
OH NO I totally missed that there was a spider in there lmao #monsterdon #thegiantspiderinvasion

#monsterdon not ready for the spider murder part of the movie
@CactuarJoe she didn't tie the knots correctly? #Monsterdon
Oh hey, Spider Venus on a half-shell #Monsterdon
I'm still disturbed that the scientist decided to casually leave the burner on when the beaker is literally burning. #Monsterdon
PEEK A BOO!
#monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion #α½ΒΊα½Θ βΏ Εα½ΒΊαΏ
The water tastes like spiders! #monsterdon
This guy digs holes like he's never dug a hole in his life. wtf dude, it's a shovel, you don't hold it that way!
This guy wins an award for the most amazingly lazy half-ass whatever. Toss a little dirt over it. #monsterdon
He wasn't even chewed up that bad.
#monsterdon #α½ΒΊα½Θ βΏ Εα½ΒΊαΏ
Our copy - with homemade captions - had "THE END" come up on the screen just as he was burying the body.
I never want to clean tarantula poop out of my dirty dishes.

"Switch on the blender now.......it's called ART!"
Will it blend? #monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

π·οΈ GIANT TRIVIA INVASION πΈοΈ
Greatest shot that wasn't in the movie
π₯ The 'SFX team' put a very large gunpowder-covered monster spider in a tree. Because they did not know how explosions worked apparently, they climbed above it to light it.
π₯ After ineffective tries, they threw the whole lit box on it. Nothing. So the director stopped filming. Just then the whole thing exploded and burned the techs hair off, sending two to the ER. π
Tomato soup and vodka in a blender.
I looked away. Was there a spider in that blender? #monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion
"What's th' matter with you?" "Darn if I know, alla m'goddamn teeth fell out"

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion1975 [another commercial interruption, boohoo]
This scene is like an I Think You Should Leave sketch. #monsterdon
She...she made a bloody spider mary... #monsterdon
"We don't even know if they're real" and then the camera pans down--that was the most effective dramatic music in the history of movies.
Second ad break, letβs hope no Ontario Conservatives this time #monsterdon
now thatβs a bloody mary #Monsterdon
She's going to make a spider alcohol smoothie, isn't she.
#Monsterdon
EDIT: She did
The sheriff has a Mini Me staue on his desk #Monsterdon
@Taweret DID WE LITERALLY BOTH SAY THIS AT THE SAME TIME #monsterdon

Before Jamba Juice, people had to pour vodka into their blenders themselves
Our first dead (and partially skeletonized) body!
#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion1975 alcohol will definitely solve your spider problem
none of these bodies look exsanguinated enough

Holy cow the Skipper/Sheriff always has to be turned up to 11 I guess
Were we not supposed to notice the arm tucked under his body and think the skeleton arm was his? #monsterdon
Frank! Oh god, no, Frank! How did you get off my porch!? #Monsterdon
Wouldn't any rock scratch glass like that? Or is the diamond thing true.
beer, vodka. This is a happy house indeed
#monsterdon
Apparently the spiders don't really like the taste of human and gave up quickly.
funny, jason usually survives these movies
#monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion #α½ΒΊα½Θ βΏ Εα½ΒΊαΏ
Geez, this movie is full of hokey rimshot lines without the rimshot. #monsterdon
That's sure a lazy body-hiding.
Ooo he's by himself!
What a pretty spider! #monsterdon
