aaand you can barely see it, but there's a spider running across the room

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.

#monsterdon

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

#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.

#monsterdon

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.

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

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

Healthy smoothie made with vodka and spider, so yummy #Monsterdon

Nooooo spider Bloody Mary #monsterdon

Well they got shack bedroom all authentic like

#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

#Monsterdon #GiantSpiderInvasion

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

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

They have a pretty nice little kitchen set up for a couple of dirtbags who hate each other

#Monsterdon

"Here. Have some of this great-tasting spider smoothie, I just whipped up. It's my own special recipe."

#Monsterdon

She's also gotta be an alien. I mean, honestly. No human could be glad to see that man.

#monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion #ᄽºὁȍ ‿ őὀºᄿ

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

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

Call the police, God's muppet is on my pant leg #monsterdon

@Taweret the spiders just keep getting cooler

#monsterdon

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

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

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

I remember to the share reminds me of. it's this guy from interstella 555

#Monsterdon #GiantSpiderInvasion

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 #ᄽºὁȍ ‿ őὀºᄿ

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

#monsterdon

@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.

#Monsterdon

Is that a candy corn spider? Arachnius Candicornicus?

#Monsterdon

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.

#Monsterdon

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

I'm still disturbed that the scientist decided to casually leave the burner on when the beaker is literally burning. #Monsterdon

Oh hey, Spider Venus on a half-shell #Monsterdon

PEEK A BOO!

#monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion #ᄽºὁȍ ‿ őὀºᄿ

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!

#monsterdon

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 #ᄽºὁȍ ‿ őὀºᄿ

Our copy - with homemade captions - had "THE END" come up on the screen just as he was burying the body.

#Monsterdon

I never want to clean tarantula poop out of my dirty dishes.
#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

"Switch on the blender now.......it's called ART!"

#monsterdon

Will it blend? #monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

🕷️ GIANT TRIVIA INVASION 🕸️

Greatest shot that wasn't in the movie

🔥 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.

💥 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. 🚒

#TheGiantSpiderInvasion

Tomato soup and vodka in a blender.

#monsterdon #thegiantspiderinvasion

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"

Tarantuala #2! This one's all brown and fuzzy

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.

#Monsterdon

Second ad break, let’s hope no Ontario Conservatives this time #monsterdon

now that’s 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

#monsterdon

Our first dead (and partially skeletonized) body!

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion1975 alcohol will definitely solve your spider problem

none of these bodies look exsanguinated enough

#monsterdon

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.

#Monsterdon

beer, vodka. This is a happy house indeed
#monsterdon

Apparently the spiders don't really like the taste of human and gave up quickly.

#Monsterdon #GiantSpiderInvasion

funny, jason usually survives these movies

#monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion #ᄽºὁȍ ‿ őὀºᄿ

Geez, this movie is full of hokey rimshot lines without the rimshot. #monsterdon

That's sure a lazy body-hiding.

#Monsterdon

Ooo he's by himself!
