Heh. Terrible, hokey movies and pretending they're better than whatever hit movie they're aping, I can't think of a better combination :P
Yeah, you cast shade at Jaws, Spider Invasion. I'm sure Spielberg is being kept up nights by your little production here :P #Monsterdon
Iβm begging you, Alan Hale, button at least one more button on your shirt. #Monsterdon
Wasnβt this area full of toxic radiation? #Monsterdon

I've got a man from NASA and he knows what he's doing probably shouldn't belong in the same sentence anymore
There's a LOT of AMC cars in this movie.
Never talk about a better movie in your shitty movie.

I believe it went something like:
βwe have to close the black holeβ
βwe should shove more matter into it until it chokes and blocks upβ
βoh, you mean neutron rays? great idea!β
β¦ though I, too, may not have been paying full attention.
I agree. Boo the police #monsterdon #thegiantspiderinvasion
They didn't get this crowd of gun toting hicks for the movie, that was just happening anyway and a camera team followed them....
Wait did I just hear that the giant spiders have to draw energy from a lifeline into another dimension?
whaaaaaaaa π€¦

#monsterdon movie: we couod choke it with the extra mass
Me: *thrusting*
Rookie mistake to get your mob to cluster that close. It gets like Twitch Plays Pokemon, you can't move anywhere. #monsterdon
And here's why you don't actually shoot at night for these movies
all hail the blue filters
Everyone is driving an AMC, including the cops and mobs!
woah hey night for night okay

DAY FILMED AS NIGHT!
#monsterdon Will somespider PLEASE eat the sheriff already
@SordidAmok I mean why not at this point
"this is my hole! it was made for me!"
#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion
Poor spider just wants to take all its children to the fair.
Why canβt these white dudes have fun at the Polka Festival, leave the giant spider alone! It just has a taste for human flesh! #Monsterdon
another dead mime corpse!
My black hole has also turned into an open doorway from hell.
the spider portal: go girl give us nothing
#monsterdon
Actually hold up: there would be like a thousand people crowding around it taken selfies for Instagram, and only if the scientists could get through that crowd they would try to make friends with it
So does everybody in this town drive pintos? #monsterdon
"The running of the Spiders" used to be a proud American tradition
@paco If you shoot the cue ball, that counts as a scratch, and you will be penalized.
Love to the guy who has to call the National Guard on a 'Giant Spider Invasion'
"You're not going to believe this guys, but BELIEVE ME..."
Spent a bit of money on car splosions.
I love how they're using crowds of people to block the bottom of the giant spider so you can't see the chassis.
Everyone runs in the same direction.
#Monsterdon
Interesting how the panicking mob is always in the way of the spider's lower half #monsterdon
Iβm not opposed to a rural mob of gun-toting monster killers, but Iβm not sure the movieβs really earned it. #monsterdon
has every crashed vehicle exploded so far? #monsterdon
#monsterdon Ooops! We found the Ford Pinto!
Skipper: "Hello operator? GET ME THE POLICE."
Go, space spider! kill them all!

The producers wanted larger spiders because they new Jaws was being made at the same time. The film crew then created their biggest monsters, using VW Beetles for the inside, driven backward, so the brake lights could be used as eyes.
Crew members stayed inside and manipulated the legs. It was hot work in the summer.
βMommy I want to go on the spider ride!β
PACKERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
#monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion #α½ΒΊα½Θ βΏ Εα½ΒΊαΏ
Hard to get an exact id given the low resolution, but similar wide leather strap watches appear to have been part of the Mod style movement.
Nice running of the extras!
director couldn't have enough 'people eating repulsively' scenes, huh
Eat them all my Spider brethren, eat all the colonisers!
#monsterdon The wildly varying levels of focus sharpness in that lynch mob pep talk scene actually made me a little queasy. But in this amusement park scene some amazing camera operator managed to pull almost perfect focus all the way around a revolution of that chairs-on-chains ride!? What gives?!
edit: o god why the lingering soft-porn shot of raw chicken legs on the grill?? It's like the filmmakers just hate the audience!
Moar Butts!
The spiders took the weakest members of the herd first. #monsterdon
So the giant spider wrecked the entire house trying to get to her. Then it fucks off into the cannabis field rather than, like, eat her or anything? Was it just after a peek at her boobs? #monsterdon
Ugh that swing thing is making me sick to look at.
This movie was really sponsored by Pepsi.
#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion
Don't know about y'all, but in Angry Mob of Drunk Yahoos vs. Giant Spider, my $ is on the spider
Any takers??
#monsterdon This guy reminds me of a 60 year old Fox Mulder
Shout out to the little league team, I think that'll be the force that turns the tide against the spider. #Monsterdon
(shouts of approval) #monsterdon
@apLundell@octodon.social Only G7s and above, IIRC
#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion
DAMN! There's a *polka festival* here? Why the hell isn't this movie about that!?
We're all WHITE MEN and we ALL HAVE GUNS, so we ALL KNOW WHAT TO DO
but THIS TIME
it's with SPIDERS
#monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion #α½ΒΊα½Θ βΏ Εα½ΒΊαΏ
I hope they eat you all.
Music to kill spiders or get laid to #monsterdon
POLKA FESTIVAL!??? #monsterdon #thegiantspiderinvasion

Can any NASA employee call up and order a neutron bomb?
#monsterdon
I really am rooting for the spiders at this point.
Spider Disco!

I wanna see giant walking in the field spider whenever I go back outside he's a great spider!
Aww! Big pretty roof spider just wants to give a big fuzzy hug.
Also, an obvious neutron initiator would be PuBe, which unfortunately fits with the movie's scuzzieness
I kind of think Drs. Langer and Vance weren't supposed to fall and roll down the hill like that, in the script.
How do you kill a monster like a spider? How do you grab a web and pull it down? #monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion
It's SO CRAZY that it JUST MIGHT WORK
#monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion #α½ΒΊα½Θ βΏ Εα½ΒΊαΏ
Oh, I feel like a neutron shower myself, should freshen me up.
"we can shower it with neutrons"
i love this movie.
#monsterdon
Stop mansplaining gravitational fields to Della Street, she's smarter than you. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion1975 *giant spiders grabs woman with a leg through the window*
"this could be us but you playin"
if you have opened a portal to a dimension that is so absolutely packed full with spiders that they spill out the hole the moment it opens then you might as well call it quits as a species because you are probably only getting like the bottom 1% of spiders so far you haven't even engaged with the coordinated response of the political or military systems of spider universe #monsterdon
I do not like this technobabble
She was just chased by a giant, interdimensional spider but theyβve got time to dress a small laceration on her hand. Their sense of urgency is ALL fucked up. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon A gizmo is a contraption. These are rocks. Geodes. Egg Cases. JFC, do we have to do all the heavy lifting around here? COME ON SPIDERS GET TO EATING THE CAST!
#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion1975 at least they let her put a top on for the spiders react shot
come on, spiders! take no prisoners! leave no survivors!
"An open doorway from hell!"
Yeah, that's what the TV screen is right now. #Monsterdon
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To find a big ass spider....
How did the bartender know the car blew up? Does anything make sense in this Kafka spider nightmare?
Look, all I'm saying is we could have had an invasion of giant *jumping* spiders.
(CW photo of the cutest jumping spider I ever kept, "Madeleine").
I love this giant spider's leisurely journey across the meadow #monsterdon
GO SPiDERS!!! #Monsterdon
DON'T BLAME ME, I VOTED FOR SNOWBEAST
@strangefour you're looking at the Future my friend, the Future.... #monsterdon
Wrong doctor. Itβs PEOPLE hunting season! #Monsterdon
that life-sized gigantic spider prop is a thing of beauty #monsterdon
poor rural people really do lead harder lives
#monsterdon I don't care what anyone says about the rest of the film, the giant spider arm through the window with the half dressed woman is pure art.
I mean it's the sort of art you'd see on a periodical with a title like "Spiders tore my flesh" but
bro the giant spider walking through the field is everything to me i want it to be in every scene from now on #monsterdon
