@blogdiva And they’re nowhere near Atlanta. #Monsterdon

These alien invaders are pretty believable for the Monsterdon, very alien

Ginny is a borg now or something!

#monsterdon

@Taweret Tortured and goofy #Monsterdon

Hmm, 🧐 what is this #Monsterdon I see all over the place ?!

She was REALLY bad this year so Santa just went full send #Monsterdon #monolithmonsters1957

#Monsterdon it wasn’t an explosion, it was party favors!

She's SEEN some shit.

#monsterdon #monolithmonsters

Sure, this movie will kill a kid #Monsterdon

Jenny: "I have joined with the rocks. I speak for them now."

#Monsterdon

Okay but them driving up and finding all that obsidian scattered around the house was pretty spooky.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🌑 🗿 ☄️ 💎 🌵 😱

And Ginny's *petrified*

Curious what the set designers used to make all these space rocks...

#monsterdon

Another movie with a traumatized toddler huh?

#monsterdon #monolithmonsters

Well let's hope the wet season isn't coming soon. #monsterdon

No actual rocks were harmed in the making of this film.

#monsterdon

ginny has seen Some Things. #monsterdon

she's more rock than girl now

#monsterdon

Another week, another catatonic child. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon mortician’s hair is a sign of explosion

oh hell no you get that kid to a priest you don't let a haunted ass kid like that back in the house #monsterdon

Monolith monsters is the prequel to The Birds #Monsterdon fact

Those rocks really don't like buildings.
#Monsterdon

dang these rocks really know how to throw a house party #monsterdon

That girl's seen some shit.

#Monsterdon

The sheep that left these droppings must be reeeeeeallly sick #Monsterdon

@nev happen? In #Monsterdon ? 🤣

#monsterdon Psst while we're here, go grab https://ca.7digital.com/artist/little-richard/release/the-girl-cant-help-it-13332767 and cue up track 13

Sleeeeeep! In heavenly freeze frame!

#monsterdon

It's the 1950s, everybody knows rock is from the devil #monsterdon

Let's all touch the weird space rock!

#monsterdon

On the other hand, we now understand where the 70s craze for pebble dashing came from. #Monsterdon

"Don't touch that - it's concentrated evil!"

Sorry, wrong movie.

#Monsterdon

Well, finally a movie that really does a pitch black night scene
#monsterdon

Dave and the teacher are chaperoned on their drive? Oh and the kid’s … okay? #monsterdon

I’m pretty sure it’s just lubed up charcoal lumps #Monsterdon #monolithmonsters1957

@stellarskylark It's a virtual movie watch party. We choose a movie each week and watch it in sync (ish) while riffing on it here on Mastodon. This week's movie is The Monolith Monsters (1957) which is all about weird space rocks or something.

If you want more info and/or to get involved, I suggest following #MonsterdonAlert, and that way you'll see the polls and announcements.

#Monsterdon

I told you, kid. Rock wasps!

#Monsterdon

And my excuse for a romantic driver is that a little girl might be welded by a space obsidian chunk. But relax, it drowned, so Jenny is safe. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🌑 🗿 ☄️ 💎 🌵 😱

Oh no the wet rock has pebbled Ginny's house to death!

Seamless transition from serious "we've gotta get to the bottom of this terrible mystery" into flirtation

Smooth operator

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Tomorrow's headline: "Are there wedding bells for Dave and his sweetheart? You should've seen the rock!"

@ottaross but they won’t.

#monsterdon

is this where hitchcock got the idea for the birds?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon rockathon! Rock on Little girls

jeez, what have these rocks got against structures. #monsterdon

It's like the birds, but they don't move! If you can't escape this, that's on you. It's not even the speed of lava.

#monsterdon

Maybe don't hold onto the killer rock so tightly?

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

I often feel like I have been welded into a solid mass.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon The ocean's just a desert with all it's salt in a less ridiculous place. 🎵

"Dave ... I don't like what you're thinking ..."

#Monsterdon #MonolithMonsters

Local geologist: :rockfact:

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

#Monsterdon 🌑 🗿 ☄️ 💎 🌵 😱

Well we have zeroed in on the rock as the murderer right away so that's good news

Lol we had a realtor.com ad and Paul exclaimed, "those fucking house prices?! 600K plus!! What millionaires are watching The Monolith Monsters?!"

#monsterdon

FIELD TRIP!

#Monsterdon

Shoutout to the lady's death stare at the dude doubting her ability to identify

A ROCK

^^b #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon everyone have a lick...

So some alien kid's crystal growing went snafu #monsterdon

#Monsterdon back!

It genuinely does not look that strange.

#monsterdon

I will say, Universal International delivered a consistent product with its movies. Not necessarily a *good* product, but you knew what you were paying for. #Monsterdon

i can't tell if it would be better for the rocks to have some elaborate world domination ideology or for them to just be rocks and they just turn people into rocks for no reason and there is never any antagonist at all #monsterdon

His body temperature was igneous

#monsterdon

I suspect this had something to do with Ben's death. I've been carrying it in my underwear. #Monsterdon

I sure hope that was in his pocket

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Jenny Simpson’s family is in for a big surprise….

#Monsterdon

Ben's just extremely buff, that's all #monsterdon

#monsterdon it's just a bunch of fuckin slag

I don't know what #monsterdon is but everyone's talking about rocks so I assume it's something geology /j

newspaper men have a strong history in #monsterdon, and this man is keeping up that fine tradition quite well, I think.

Some wise old man should have been around to tell that kid never to feed her rock after midnight and, under no circumstances, should it come in contact with water.

#Monsterdon

Revenge of the Big Rock Candy Mountain #Monsterdon

@jsadow
#ScienceForTheScienceGod
#Monsterdon

Fucking Ministry of Truth "the truth will make them panic!" bullshit in the all these 50s movies.

#monsterdon #monolithmonsters

Something is running loose. #monsterdon

Kids: "If you love rocks so much, why don't you be one already?"
Geologist: "Hold my beer"

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

"Local Geologist Turns To Rock!"

That's not bad, actually.

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Doing the autopsy with a hammer and chisel #monsterdon

Bechdel dialogue all over the place, it's dizzying #monsterdon

Damn bitch, the kids already doing what you told her to do, shit

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Well now her pet rock is drowning. Look what you've done, girl's mother? #monsterdon

Is this the start of the Pet Rock craze?

#Monsterdon

@diazona You gotta get that compulsory heterosexuality in somewhere.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🌑 🗿 ☄️ 💎 🌵 😱

It might be the origin story of Pop Rocks (tm)

Listen to it fizz #monsterdon

#Monsterdon holy crap how many kids are in that car?

Breathing rocks now?
#Monsterdon

and now for a series of unfortunate events

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

So this is must have been what was on the table on Led Zeppelin's Presence album.

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

#monsterdon Aaah so THAT was active carbon

Did the kids all take rocks with them?
#Monsterdon

Kid you can't just take weird rocks home.

I took a weird rock home once and it turned out to be a damn wasp nest. True story.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon (missing a few minutes for food delivery brb)

This kid is the surprise star of this movie.

#Monsterdon

Forbidden obsidian!

You can tell because of the music change 😉

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Just add water, kid #monsterdon

#Monsterdon distressing scenes of rocks wrecking up the place, and also that guy

I just can't read these actors' emotions.

Too stone-faced. #Monsterdon
