Fun Fact : this girl grows up to adopt a squireel and naming it sandy junior that squirrel move to the ocean #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

We’re going to need a bigger salt shaker.

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

9 o'clock, prime teenager attack time. #Monsterdon

#TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

NIGHT FILTER STRIKES AGAIN

#monsterdon

Dude, you barely escaped getting eaten the first time, take your gun with you. Oops, nope, death by irony. #Monsterdon

Boiling shrimp is of course key to their ability to grow and thrive.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

@jivens I mean, bad and also hilarious

#Monsterdon
#TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

And there goes the thermostat!

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Dont just turn it up a little, turn it up a lot, then you can boil the bunnies like a good little psychopath.

#monsterdon #TheMonsterWhoChallengedTheWorld

"I've Deus Ex'd the Machina, I gotta go now" #Monsterdon

Chekov's Child. #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #Monsterdon

No little children will be harmed in the making of this movie.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

and I was so hoping ladybug girl wasn't going to be the typical problem sci-fi movie kid. #Monsterdon

NO LIKEABLY CRANKY OLD MAN! RUN!

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Chekov's knob sounds bad.

He forgot his shotgun - HE'S A GONER!

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

Death by Precocious seven year old

#monsterdon

*gumption*

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

They need all those bunnies so they can know when they've messed up, knocking up the secretarial pool...

#horrible

#monsterdon

I KNEW IT

#Monsterdon

"Well, Sandy, a monster hatched in the vat and ate all of the rabbits. ThIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TURN KNOBS."

#Monsterdon

very "Us" 🐇

#Monsterdon

Oh god, don't put the bunny in the monster jacuzzi!!!

#Monsterdon

Chekov's giant ladybug knob?
#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Grace does look cold.

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

Did the girl just adjust the single point of failure, to failure setting?
😀👍 Atta Girl
#Monsterdon

please giant rabbit

#monsterdon

Tell me about the rabbits mummy. #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #Monsterdon

Don’t touch that dial! #monsterdon

(Phone rings)
*growl?*
*Growl. Growl growl*
(hangs up)
"They say nothing is going on at lock 17."
#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

terrible mother first you allow a dude to kill your daughters ladybug and then try to keep her from saving the jailed rabbits #monsterdon

Need a Molly guard on that thermostat.
#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe you called it

#monsterdon

Shirley’s gonna see those rabbits if it’s the last damn thing she does!

#monsterdon

Oh no! She’s going to turn the knob! #Monsterdon

"I'm gonna sneak off while Mommy's on the phone and take the rabbits swimming!"

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Lab security is lax.

see, if you would have taped up a sign that said "don't change knob or else monster" then the knob would have become little girl proof #monsterdon

Sandy is a fine little actress, she's got multiple lines, she's hitting her cues, good job kiddo

#Monsterdon
#TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Look a that, the rabbits are alive. I figured she couldn't see them because they'd all be sacrificed for the end of the experiment. #monsterdon

Chekov's rabbits

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

@davesdogmaggie

Got to, man. It's America!

#Monsterdon

This is why you carefully explain to your kids why they aren't supposed to do things.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

THE KNOB HAS BEEN TWISTED!

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

Ah, it's looking like the knob will be turned by a young baby boomer. Typical, really. #Monsterdon

I bet Hercules is throwing some Critters into space right now.

#Monsterdon

Swimmers / No Loitering.

What? I can't tread water now? Maaaaaan, this town is full of SQUARES. #Monsterdon

@trixter @bryanhowell I'm looking forward to the spinoff where we get a deep dive into Mr. Dobb's nefarious hobbies. #Monsterdon #TheMonsterthatChallengedTheWorld 👾🎥

Is he gonna shoot the children?
#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Guy had a look in his face like he was gonna shoot the kids. #Monsterdon

Sally is what we like to think of as a typical government employee, talking to her mom all day while “doing her job”.

#Monsterdon

Swimmers, no loitering.

(Swimming through is okay, presumably.)

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

#Monsterdon 🏜️☀️🌵🫨🦪🐚🐌🦐😱

Bunnnniesss! I want to snuggle them they'd better not hurt these bunnies!

That kid is going to turn the knob, I feel it
#monsterdon  

Oh boy, mom's not looking! Time to unleash the third act twist! Helloooo thermostat controls! #Monsterdon

#TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #Monsterdon that'll teach you for going against the plot like that!

@Violinknitter she's my fave character now #monsterdon

He's gonna see it now.

Plain foolishness.

#Monsterdon

Bug girl craves science!

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

BUNNIES!!@

#monsterdon

When did the Oboe go out of style for film music? #monsterdon

"No, didn't see any creature. There's definitely not one here right now behind my back holding me up at mandible-point".

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

just plain foolishness huh. decided you've had enough of living, have you?

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

Come on snails throw the military out of your home #monsterdon

C'mon, we want to see people futile shooting the creature.
#monsterdon

I like the side plot of the secretary always chatting with her mom

She needs a smart phone and the ability to text

#Monsterdon

If only Proposition 14A had not been defeated the world might come out of this challenge intact. #monsterdon

remember to ring the Monsterdeurbel if you see any monsters who need to be let through the canal

(reference)

#Monsterdon

She's on the phone to this 'Mom' person a lot, I bet that's the pseudonym of her KGB handler. #Monsterdon

RE: https://mastodon.murkworks.net/@moira/116355285218586288

yes please many of us will be bingo grateful

#Monsterdon 🏜️☀️🌵🫨🦪🐚🐌🦐😱

"Just plain foolishness."

Now if'n you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go back to readin' my this-here newsy-paper and OH GOD *crunch crunch crunch* #Monsterdon

so the one-eyed monster got killed right? that white goo came from a different monster?

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Looks like he's running a betting pool with that board

#Monsterdon

I’m expecting piranha in this canal for some reason…

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

"Call any time, night or day."
(navy people depart)
"Any time. Please. I don't get out much. We don't get many visitors..."

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

@kshernandez @bryanhowell Totally unrelated to the events of the movie, just as part of his backstory.

#monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #ChallengedTheWorld1957

Gummy Joe's got a hot tip for Navy Intelligence.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

"I'll call you back later, mom"
Calling it now, the mom is gonna die. #Monsterdon

"I'll just turn the saturation back to normal, see how the colorization is... egads my eyes!"

AI-colorized video is a scourge, just watch it black and white ​:floofCry:​

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Beautiful California agricultural land in glorious two color. #Monsterdon

Gatekeepers? and Ectoplasm?

Does that make the Captain the Key Master?

#ghostbusters

#monsterdon

Boy this is a thrilling montage of... looking at water.

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

Where does the museum curator get his gummies? Asking for a friend.

#Monsterdon

Time for a nothing-happening montage!

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

I would vote NO on prop 14A. The last thing that guy needs is a back room.

#Monsterdon

@bryanhowell At the very least, he's a serial killer, for sure. #Monsterdon #TheMonsterthatChallengedTheWorld 👾🎥

Tries to think of something about weird people fixated on science to post on Mastodon and fails.

#Monsterdon

And I'll be completely useless then too. #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #Monsterdon

I like to think this discussion around canal patrol logistics takes place in a world where every other monster movie scenario is happening at the exact same time, and the US Navy has to stretch its resources between protecting the canal from cow-eating snails, fending off a Kaiju attack and searching for multiple werewolves, vampires and frankensteins.

#monsterdon

Co-oper-Ay-Tive person.
Perfectly normal thing to say.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

#Monsterdon 🏜️☀️🌵🫨🦪🐚🐌🦐😱

was it seersucker the whole movie?

Malicious compliance #Monsterdon

Mr Dobbs secretly on the run from a series of still unsolved homicides in 1948.

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

Creepy guy is weirdly likeable. Maybe it comes from not being obviously military or police. #monsterdon

That's how you cooperate with the authorities, continually impress upon them how cooperative of a person you are
