lol, with those eyes the creature just looks high as fuck and at the bottom of a hottub...

#Monsterdon

Fortunately, the little girl turned the water temperature to boiling! The samples were destroyed, but the creature didn't finish hatching.

...no?

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Maybe don't keep your super science devices in the room with the bunnies.

#Monsterdon

She touched the knob of no touching!! #Monsterdon

in the kid's defense, no one told her about the Knob That Must Not Be Touched.

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

In our usual monster movies a child establishes a special bond with the monster that saves the world.

In this, the child dooms us all.

DOOOOOOOM

#monsterdon #TheMonsterWhoChallengedTheWorld

yes make a snail friend #monsterdon

ahhhh, it was the child that fucks up the egg bath!

#Monsterdon

This process of shutting locks from a central location ahead of where creatures were observed seems awfully like potential inspiration for the scene in Alien (1979) where Captain Dallas is hunting the eponymous creature in the air ducts and calling for the vent gate to be irised shut behind him.

#monsterdon

So, they are studing the easter bunny on this navy lab?
#monsterdon

"Sandy?" "Yes, Mommy?" "Did you complete the sabotage?" "Yes, Mommy." "That's a good Young Pioneer girl. Now let's go home."

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

"Tell me about the rabbits again, ladybug" #Monsterdon

Take your daughter to mutagenic substances day at the office again #Monsterdon

⁉️ TRIVIA THAT CHALLENGED
THE WORLD 🐌

👂 Listen for the character who has been called "George" by his wife, Connie Blake, suddenly, during his underwater scene, be referred to as "Mike" by his colleague.

It's not his real name, either. No explanation for this. Don't let it keep you up tonight, though.

#TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

She's gonna press the button of doom!
#Monsterdon

Let me guess little ladybug girl is going to screw things up. #Monsterdon

Every shed owner in America in the 50s was armed with a shotgun. How that country has fallen.

#Monsterdon

bnuuys!

#monsterdon

'Why I haven't seen any creature! Plain foolishness! Why, I double dog dare a monster to show up here right behind me and kill me a whole bunch I just dare it."

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Mommy, can I drink what is in this flask?

Do you want to explode?

I do like the weird side anecdotes in this movie - like the children fighting over a hat or the shopkeep bringing up a proposition that was defeated or Secretary #1 always talking to her mom.

#monsterdon

Then he sees the slug monster rolling past in a car. #Monsterdon

Have you seen any Everything Bagel Foolishness

#Monsterdon

Presumably lock operator was an actual thing? The past was weird. #monsterdon

*hears children… grabs shotgun

#Monsterdon

I haven't seen the creature.
:: creature noises ::
#monsterdon

More standing and talking. I'm riveted, to my phone. DOES THE OPERATOR CALL HER MOM BACK LATER!???? #Monsterdon

If Proposition 14A had passed everything would've been SO MUCH BETTER you understand #Monsterdon

Yep, put that newspaper down over the ashtray. No such thing as a fire risk.

"And next time vote for bonds to fund your local libraries and museums for FUCKING PHILISTINES."

#monsterdon #TheMonsterWhoChallengedTheWorld

This man has never cooperated with the police ever in his life. How many bodies does he have in that room that wasn't approved?
#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

I finally get to see the All American Canal, after reading about it.....an hour ago.

#Monsterdon

It makes sense that southern California would have such an extensive canal network given how important it was to San Bernadino county's economy to efficiently transport coal and cotton during the industrial revolution of 19th century England #Monsterdon

By the music they're gonna find one last romantic giant shrimp. #Monsterdon

I bet the monster is doing something cool rn

#monsterdon

always love a good dam scene

#monsterdon

This guy is acting odd because he suspects the cops are here about his serial killing hobby. #Monsterdon

lol, the way his eyes lit up when talking about Death...

#Monsterdon

That proposition comment was so California 😄 #Monsterdon

Riveted by this subplot about the bond initiative. #Monsterdon

"I always cooperate with the authorities!"

So don't look in the back rooms! #Monsterdon

I think Old Man Hurley might have that map, but his house is scary

#Monsterdon

“Chopper.”

#Monsterdon

The trailer had more monster than the movie.

#Monsterdon
#TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

#TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #Monsterdon Come again?

US Army/US Navy - who cares about the details
#Monsterdon

Again he's got the creature's habits completely mapped out...he's in league with the Snail I tell you!
Throw salt on him!

#Monsterdon

Now we're speculating about underground rivers big enough for the spunk monsters.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

"What's wrong?"
"I left my pointy stick in the car and then got radio-active bukkake'd.
I need a joint, someone get me a joint".

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Man, go wash your hands! You don’t want to know what that stuff is!

#Monsterdon

I guess it's really cheap to have people stand around and talk. #monsterdon

That guy was off smoking Mary Jean all right. #Monsterdon

Last Dance with Mary Jane?

#Monsterdon
#TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

“It was… soap… poisoning.”

#Monsterdon

He’s having an alien stroke. #Monsterdon

@Binder #monsterdon
Well, he did have a film so why would you question his expertise? A film!

Longines watch product placement

#Monsterdon

The exciting romantic subplot continues where Navy Commander asks Secretary #2 if she'll go out to dinner and first she says 'no' but then later she says yes' so we can observe a completely riveting dinner conversation.

He has to leave to check into base and she gets sick of watching another couple neck so she goes to wish in a wishing well that this restaurant has for some reason.

Maybe it's the restaurant's gimmick. A gimmick well.

#monsterdon

Of all the unbelievable things this movie expects us to accept, that the beautiful husband-less woman ends up with the chunky military slob instead of the newly widowed hottie is the most egregious #Monsterdon

He's just going to use the pen to fill out deportation forms. Stick it in his eye

#Monsterdon

So, is this pen going to be important later? We've spent a fair amount of screen time on it.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

Oh good the comedy stereotype is here. #Monsterdon

"I wish a mollusc would emerge from this well and eat another romantic interest of mine.
It's the only way I can get in the mood anymore."

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

is that kid trying to sell joints?!?

#monsterdon

Can we get back to the monster please?
#monsterdon

Oh the haunting sight of straight people snuggling in public #Monsterdon

I'm sorry, did they go to Mexico for dinner?

#Monsterdon

is the ladybug coming back

#monsterdon

Random side characters, you can speed up the process of something happening by mentioning you're a week away from retirement

#Monsterdon

@whiskeysailor its the police they unfortunly have the budget #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🏜️☀️🌵🫨🦪🐚🐌🦐😱

she could do a lot better than this guy, I swear she could

Switch board operator is the Hungry Girl of the team. #Monsterdon

Her mom talks FAST!

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

the federal banks stakeout was a canon event #monsterdon

Not studying them for science, not examine their effects from the ecosystem, just instantly to carpet bombing.

#Monsterdon

Have movies been killing pregnant lady's husband's for pathos for THIS long?

#Monsterdon #TheCreatureThatChallengedTheWorld

coffee and sandwiches!

#monsterdon

"The personal things I said yesterday, commander.
About how I wanted to devour your asshole like it was a BBQ bucket? It's just the talk of my dead husband got me steamed up."

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

...car.... ballet?

#monsterdon

@gnomon

RADIAAAAAAAAATION!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🏜️☀️🌵🫨🦪🐚🐌🦐😱

they have three digit phone numbers?

Mmm, yes. A military that works reasonably with the local constabulary for the good of the citizenry.

That’s how you know it’s science fiction.

#Monsterdon

Why have they built what looks like a bunch of bleach traps (at least when I build them that's what usually in them) on that lattice? What are they doing that they need 3 of them?!?!

#Monsterdon

Did these navy men not bring any rifles on this excursion?

#Monsterdon #TheCreatureThatChallengedTheWorld

"I'm sure glad we had a snail expert on hand!"

#Monsterdon

I like a centrefold as much as the next pervert, but...

#Monsterdon

It's really great that this guy is the only guy who knows anything about this v expensive & extraordinarily dangerous threat. We should definitely enact his scheme w/o any safeguards or double checking his assertions. #Monsterdon

Yes, you should DEFINITELY wait until someone gets eaten to warn people about the giant shellfish. #Monsterdon

It's true, snails have taken over the land, especially after a rain. I hate it when they get inside my crocs and I accidentally squash them. 😬
#Monsterdon

That’s a pretty specific hypothesis #Monsterdon

The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has issued an advisory for any fish caught in the All-American Canal due to elevated levels of mercury, PCBs, and selenium.

#monsterdon

These snails are so cute.

#monsterdon

better still, '24 hour beach PARTY"

#Monsterdon

Can you imagine an army of these things? You'll have to, we only had the budget to make one. #monsterdon

So is the monster really challenging the whole world? Or is it just challenging some doltish dullards on one section of the shores of the Salton Sea?

#monsterdon #TheBeastWhoChallengedTheWorld

Snail sex! That’s what we’re here for!

#Monsterdon

"Uggggh not another mollusk documentary ugggggh can't we just blow stuff up?"

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

Now for an amusing confusion between Farenheit and Celsius #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #Monsterdon
