That's totally a military instruction.

"Just blow it up. That'll fix it."

The Exactly 38-degree Ice Bucket Challenge

Double mourning bands?

#Monsterdon

Chekov's Knob.

#monsterdon

"as long as this knob is set, there will be no problem"

:ohgod_ohfuck:

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

38 degrees .. Fahrenheit or Celcius?

Chekhov's temperature control.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

"As long as this knob is set so that the temperature remains constant, there'll be no problem."

Countdown to the knob being fucked with in 3.. 2...

#Monsterdon

I don’t understand this… I kinda like the commander, and usually I’m violently tired of the misogyny of the main guys by 10 minutes into the movie #Monsterdon

That tender is also covered in seamen.

#Monsterdon

wait, is this a single mom in a 1957 film? okay. more than i expected from this movie, at any rate.

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

Gail is secretly Wonder Woman. #Monsterdon

so basically, they're nuking it from orbit.

#monsterdon

And then we will blow up 20 nuclear warheads underwater

#Monsterdon

@bryanhowell wrong week to stop sucking smack

⁉️ TRIVIA THAT CHALLENGED
THE WORLD 🐌

The Monster design actually challenges its naming. It looks more like a hellgrammite (an aquatic larva) than a mollusk, such as an aquatic snail.

#TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

I wonder if this monster is gonna be some kind of mothra once gets a cocoon
#Monsterdon

Uh, I think it's the commanding officer's job to tell the widow that she's... well, a widow.

#monsterdon #TheBeastWhoChallengedTheWorld

"Radio Shack"

That's where my first computer was bought... nostalgia hitting.

#Monsterdon

@pngwen i had the battery club card #monsterdon

why do these people have emotions this guy #monsterdon

Parade of sailors heading to the dock, I think we’re gonna need a bigger boat.

#monsterdon

Oh, you were married? I didn't notice.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

@apLundell Well you know how those routine bomb tests have a mind of their own

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

I do believe I have a #monsterdonBingo

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

She's taking the loss of her husband a lot better than the woman who lost her daughter. #monsterdon

did somebody mention Radio Shack (tm)?
#Monsterdon

Is anyone else reminded of the Star Trek silicon monster that was protecting its eggs from miners? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
There's a market out there for silicone castings of this guy!

Dang it cameraman, you're missing the good part! #Monsterdon

and that was the end of the monster that challenged some guys on a boat #monsterdon

Like I said, August Lehman has a lot to answer for regarding the “special” effects.

#Monsterdon

why should we root against this loving mother #monsterdon

"Does it come in peace?"
"No, those are just its natural secretions."

#Monsterdon

give it it's egg back you bastards!

#Monsterdon

"Why must my eyes be so poke-able!"

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

wow

so fear

such terrifying

srsly this would barely pass muster in community theatre

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

NGL, that was kind of gross.
#Monsterdon

This monster has got a sweet deal actually, it can just float there in its little cave and divers conveniently wander into its claws

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Case of the bends, party of this guy!

#monsterdon #TheBeastWhoChallengedTheWorld

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

It is hard for me to root against Salty monster..

Go for the eyes, Boo!

#Monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

"Blake! It got Blake! Miss Kitty is dead!" #Monsterdon

... the drooling monster is not phallic *at all*

#monsterdon

@samsagreg Haha! Exactly!

#Monsterdon

Mort and Jody... so sad. 😖

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Hi guys!
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Not a half bad monster.

Lol yes the best way to reduce a person's panic is to shake them and yell, "TALK SENSE!"

Why didn't I think of that

#Monsterdon
#TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

okay I like the monster

#monsterdon

Oh my gosh that diver dummy is so goofy! I love it!

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

It’s a creepy alien earwig! #Monsterdon

stop pissing about Blake

#Monsterdon

The Bends, the true monster of this film
#monsterdon  

weird lookin' mothra

#monsterdon

Alright, fam, I LOVE the monster. It's kinda creepy, kinda goofy, and everything I want out of 50s sci fi horror movies. Right up there with the Ants from Them! #Monsterdon

And the diver goes bug-eyed as the creature sucks the blood from his neck!

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

Yeah, you don't have time down there because you are going to have to make a stop or get the bends
#monsterdon  

Oo, Blake got shrimped! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🏜️☀️🌵🫨🦪🐚🐌🦐😱

OH NO IT SHRIVELLED HIM

The monster is shy.
#Monsterdon

Monster doesn't seem to be underwater

#monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

Excuse me, but that is mine...

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Fortunately they're safe since the monster is on a soundstage a hundred miles away and several weeks later.
#Monsterdon

can i adopt the monster? #monsterdon

Are they stealing it's egg? Is this one of those stories?

#Monsterdon

underwater mothra!!!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🏜️☀️🌵🫨🦪🐚🐌🦐😱

wait aren't these divers going to get the bends if they 'bring her up quickly'?

Definitely a cute monster

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

oh no its a caterpiller #monsterdon

Oh I'm sorry, am I bugging you? Bwahahaha!

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

(just an aside - those aren't mikes on the divers, it wouldn't sound like that anyway, and there's no kelp growing in the Salton Sea.)

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

salton sea is only 51 at its deepest so something up #monsterdon

No problems other than the giant caterpillar. #monsterdon

MY BABIES

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🏜️☀️🌵🫨🦪🐚🐌🦐😱

MMMOOONNNSSTEEERRRR!

You guys gonna just do a rapid ascent from 100+ feet? Or are you going to die down there and save yourself a case of the bends?

#monsterdon #TheBeastWhoChallengedTheWorld

That guy’s radio responses as a diver makes him sound extremely bored.

#Monsterdon

They're live narrating their own dive after the fact. I didn't think this movie had time travel. #monsterdon

Ooh, cave diving! Cave divers are important, they're needed to rescue stuck cave divers

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

don't take any chances? Like diving in the water that keeps killing people?

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

@UsagiTsukino Crazy kids.... #monsterdon

This is going to be a decompression dive, isn't it?

#Monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

This OwnCast feed is having a lot of trouble with compression artifacts. Very pixelated.

#monsterdon

@amyfou #Monsterdon #TheMonsterthatChallengedTheWorld 👾🎥

He'd rather not conjecture. He's more of a hypothesis man, tbh #Monsterdon

@MatthewTitus88 its a perfect plan #monsterdon

What this scene really needs is some harpsichord music. #Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

#monsterdon Amazingly clear communication to these undersea divers.

he has a giant left hand, like that guy in the Simpsons...

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Ya know, we might have been exposed to a lot of radiation.. maybe we should spray ourselves with DDT to counteract it..

THE 50's

They're doing this diving on the promise of more coffee if they do. I get that. #Monsterdon

"i'd rather not conjecture. i barely knew 'er!"

#monsterdon

Wow, that sailor must've really had some blue balls prior to that.

#monsterdon #TheBeastWhoChallengedTheWorld

2 snacks on their way down to the monster.
#Monsterdon

We’ll just go take a gander at the bottom of the sea

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

At least Jody died doing what she loved...
... being an easy gad-a-bout.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Well, at least they found their missing se(a)men. #Monsterdon

there better be a giant ladybug later

#monsterdon

make her cut out her tongue...

#Monsterdon
