how do you not know what a tarantula is?

"Well it's either hit the booze or hit you again so I'm TRYING to be NICE"

#monsterdon Is he that serious or does he just want to get really close and kiss that scientist fellow? Lick the whipped cream off his porn-stache? Rip that shirt right off, with the little mother-of-pearl covered snaps…

@flowerpot "I've got a pounding headache!" #RonObvious #Monsterdon

well that's two species of tarantulas we've seen so far, I think

#monsterdon

This is the source of that common saying: Don't bring a fly swatter to a spider fight

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Is that the battle hymn of the republic on the harmonica?

Yah, whoever scored this movie def knew their Dr. Who...

#Monsterdon

i too need a drink, ma'am. #monsterdon

Alan Hale Jr. was hammered during the entirety of shooting. #Monsterdon

Freaking LOVE the spider sound effect!

#Monsterdon

The tarantula is doin' a 'splore! What a good little friend!

In another weird conversation, the science masters go to visit the Rotund Sheriff. The lady scientist warns that the Sheriff believes in Velikovsky's theories, which involve the planets being billiard balls that fly around the solar system for no reason, thereby causing the bible to happen.

This is clearly stupid, but the scientist guy says that he believes the same thing, so maybe #TheGiantSpiderInvasion takes place in an improbable universe where Velikovsky was right. #monsterdon

hey all you guys there's a cigarette machine right next to you, smoke all of them right away, maybe you'll die

I'm sorry, what is going on

So this dude literally brought a tree stump into his house and set it on his dining room table?

And then didn't notice the neon orange kneed tarantula that escaped from the space geode?

Did they just casually reveal the death of a baby as backstory? #monsterdon

@jsadow @trixter There seems to be a pattern in bad movies where people are constantly insulting everyone else’s intelligence. Ed Wood was a big fan. #monsterdon

Also, stop pretending you have a backstory. Don't cheapen this. #Monsterdon

Aw, did their baby die? An unexpected note of tragedy for these characters #Monsterdon

They were so excited about the stinger they got ahead of the tarantula! #monsterdon

"everything will be the same before the baby died..."

what!?

#monsterdon

awww lookit this cute lil tarantula

#monsterdon

"it's one of the local spiders" and Chekhov's gun goes click. #monsterdon

there goes lil fuzzy #monsterdon

That spider’s real #Monsterdon

I was just teething #monsterdon #thegiantspiderinvasion

This lady is as shallow as a puddle. #monsterdon

I should keep a couple Geigers under my sink just in case

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

I had trouble last night too but I didn't tell my local sheriff because that is tmi.

#Monsterdon

There’s a raccoon pelt on the wall wtf #monsterdon

that's sure a smart thing to say to a woman while her arm is around your neck...

#monsterdon

Study physics to poop. What...what did he think physics sounds like? #monsterdon

"This Geode is Full of Spiders—Seriously, Dude, Don't Touch It"

I think Alan Hale was paid in whiskey for this gig. #monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

#monsterdon diamond in the egg?!

And a Geiger counter?

Hmm, random reference to a theory that the Moon came from the Pacific Ocean. I'm sure that's not priming us for anything later.

"Get me the hammer and the chisel. I want to make a sculpture."

There's an Allstate "Mayhem" commercial running and I find it oddly appropriate.

@jsadow @jmelesky By 1975 an attempt was being made.

What about that was meant to be a joke #monsterdon

Good god, woman. Put that crappy Old Milwaukee beer down #Monsterdon

The editing hasn’t got any better, the shots are all half a second long and they all go back and forth, this is the most ADHD movie editing of all time #Monsterdon

'Back to the tea!'
—with '…if you know what I mean…!' very strongly implied.

@YsengrinWolf clop clop you're banging coconuts together #Monsterdon

Like he could afford real glass windows...

#monsterdon

Nassau? #Monsterdon

Yes, let’s open the obvious space spider eggs with hammers #monsterdon

@lytta We can tell them apart by their blood alcohol content #monsterdon

People being awful cavalier picking random crap up out of the field where a dozen cattle recently died unexplained deaths. #monsterdon

that's the most beautiful egg though. it's full of blue glitter. i'm rooting for the glitter spiders

👀 See the character to carve a dollar sign in his kitchen window with a suspected diamond? I'm sure you remember Robert Conrad did the same thing in 1966's The Night of the Flying Pie Plate.

#TheGiantSpiderInvasion

a real geologist would have licked the rock imemdiately, but with a rock like that i think an even realer geologist would probably have put the whole thing in their mouth like a bigass ed edd & eddy gumball #monsterdon

how has this guy not slipped and fucked his leg or something with that chisel #monsterdon

Oh this poison-cow-butchering guy doesn't care about public safety. He's gonna get et first!

#Monsterdon

"You never were any good with a tool." Yeah, we all assumed that.

@CactuarJoe @diazona At least two of us remember that will never happen! #Monsterdon

Silly hat alert! Also, Skipper is wearing it wrong.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon The lead actress has her Frankenstein Monster Trudge walk down to a science. That's right, just mope and trudge… don't lift your feet, just drag them along.

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion1975 horta eggs!

@_L1vY_ 'tea' in the 70s was code for "heroin"

he did not, in fact, have a big hammer

The local cafe is going to order six sides of beef? Seems unlikely

@Infoseepage @apLundell Maybe they need to take cube roots though #monsterdon

Please spiders, kill them all but especially him

Sheriff Skipper has moved to a second location! Of course it's a bar. Give this jolly old fellow some milk and cookies. Or a beer.

The copy I'm watching is just fuzzy enough the dark spider eggs look like coconuts.

oh there's the lady Dan is cheating with. I assume she will continue to have pigtails to distinguish her from the straight-hair blonde lady.

#monsterdon

@trixter @jmelesky

Not that it is not a misogynistic film but interestingly there have been at least two scenes where the women call the men dumb, including telling that guy with the cowboy that teaching him to do something right is like teaching an ox to use a typewriter.

#Monsterdon

So this poor whole is the crash place? OK! 😆
#monsterdon

Yeah bro I don't think selling the mysteriously dead carcasses is a solution to the problem of what the hell is mutilating your stock #monsterdon

oh i'mma get you a big hammer alright, sir. #monsterdon

Still sunburned from Gilligan's Island.

#monsterdon

They're obsessively talking about that tea like it's hard liquor

#Monsterdon

Always laugh at the jokes of a man whose hand goes to his gun when he walks halfway across the room #monsterdon

Forget dad jokes. Give me more Skipper jokes. #Monsterdon

This must not be footage of the actual black hole impact crater, the real one is too radioactive, even today

#monsterdon

Why does the astronomy professor need so many oscilloscopes?

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

Planning on cutting his financial losses from all the exploded cows, the Dad plans to sell the meat to a butcher. The milf, possessing a sense of ethics, points out that maybe there's something wrong with the meat because the cows exploded and maybe people shouldn't eat it.

They wander around and eventually find a dirt crater, possibly where the glowing bolt exploded.
