hysteria or basic decency #monsterdon

so...maybe you should be monitoring that??

#monsterdon

I'm sorry, I zoned out with all the talking heads.

"Life magazine?"
"Why yes, I find they publish more of my articles than scientific journals.
No peer review <taps nose>"

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Nothing conveys threat and dread better than men dispassionately exchanging information.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🏜️☀️🌵🫨🦪🐚🐌🦐😱

"escape from the Salton Sea into the All-American Canal" would be a great name for a sequel

So… it's Them! but snails and a much less charismatic scientist and hero. Got it. #Monsterdon

WHY? Why snails? There are so many cool water invertebrates that could be monsters. Dragonfly larvae are super cool!

And people are partying on the lake, presumably there aren't so many pesticides from the agricultural runoff killing everything.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

I'm boycotting the All-American canal

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

@apLundell oh this is fantastic

so much potential

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

sorry folks, snail lectures are the rest of the film now that they've killed the monster #monsterdon

I didn’t realize snails were related to the krayken.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Where did they come from, where did they go?

#Monsterdon

@floatybirb I wish I had that on my bingo card!

#Monsterdon

dont wipe out a species what monsters #monsterdon

Which gulf might you be talking about

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Cute little mollusks go om nom nom :blobaww: #Monsterdon

And radioactive too. #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #Monsterdon

"But what's the point" a four word review of this movie #Monsterdon

The All American Canal system! Red white and blue water! #Monsterdon

All doctors kept snail footage readily on hand back then. How times have changed.

#Monsterdon

"It will devour them, death their flesh"

As opposed to devouring them and some how not eating them? #Monsterdon

Kill it! Kill it all! Nothing gets to keep us from the ocean!

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

We should place bets on who will turn the temperature knob. Will it be a mad scientist who wants to see what happens, a general convinced they can convince the hatchling to fight the soviets, or maybe an unwitting janitor who bumps it with their mop?

If that monster's a kraken,

life lesson right there

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

It's all classified. #Monsterdon

Wait, what? Kraken??

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Who is going to play with Checkov's knob? #Monsterdon

now i want to watch a snail documentary #monsterdon

@yatsu I think "war widow" is considered a free pass in that regard? And it makes any man who marries her and takes care of her child a "hero".

#Monsterdon

Oh, come on. Everything eats mealworms.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Dawn Dish Snail! The de-greaser!

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

Wait, this is the first egg they found, how do they know what temperature will keep it from? hatching?

#Monsterdon

trying to make snails scary #monsterdon

This is just the movie they show when there's a substitute teacher in Biology and the teacher didn't leave a lesson plan....

#Monsterdon

genuinely fascinating things about snails...

#Monsterdon

"As long as this thingy stays like that, there's no problem." Foretelling of all the problems. #Monsterdon #TheMonsterthatChallengedTheWorld 👾🎥

There are no similarities bro. Other than it being an animal.

⁉️ TRIVIA THAT CHALLENGED

Avert your eyes. The common snails in the demo that are rubbing their heads together are having sex. They pass material between their cheeks. It's Science!

Your MOM has a predatory nature. #Monsterdon

RELEASE THE KRAYKON #Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

That looks nothing like a mollusk.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Oh shit, there will be a quiz. #Monsterdon

The snail has NOTHING in common with that monster. WTF is this guy talking about. He's a fraud! He's the real monster! Kill hiim!
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon if they really want to kill the creature they should just do nothing but mismanage the Salton Sea like they're going to anyway.

...haha chekov's knob

#Monsterdon 🏜️☀️🌵🫨🦪🐚🐌🦐😱

these are very cute actual stock footage molluscs tbh

Someone is gonna mess with that knob aren't they? #Monsterdon

So many of these colorized faces look like burn victims lol

Also I'm here #monsterdon #themonsterthatchallengedtheworld

oh its the krakens cousin that makes perfect sense #monsterdon

Kraken mollusk hellgramite caterpillar...
#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Did he just say KraYken? #Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

If the knob should never be moved, why are you not ripping the knob off? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

I love science footage of tiny munchers!!

This is some lame love story
#Monsterdon

Those sinister mollusks! #Monsterdon

"As long as this knob is set…" Maybe slap a piece of duct tape over it just in case?

#Monsterdon

"THIS KNOB RIGHT HERE. THIS ONE."

#Monsterdon

Dr Explain The End of the Movie here to explain the end of the movie to you.

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

No worries Connie, you'll be completely over this in two years time #monsterdon

aaaand that's another #monsterdonbingo! down the middle: something oogy, expert explains creature, FREE, sneaks up from behind, humans hatch a plan

#monsterdon

As long as this knob is set, everything will be under control. Good to know.

Ooh, snail porn! #monsterdon

We think this specimen escaped from Eurekas Castle

#Monsterdon

The creature doesn't look anything like that snail.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

"As long as this knob is set..." Any guesses what's going to happen in a couple more scenes?

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Oh boy. Here comes the science lesson. #Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Chekov's knob

Shouldn't they be selling this egg to the Weyland-Yutani Bioweapons Division?

#Monsterdon
#TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

This needs Ze.

#Monsterdon

Come on, Connie, let's get you some OTC tranquilizers. #Monsterdon

"Find all the underwater eggs. We anticipate no more than three, and certainly less than the thousands that you might expect from any shrimp-like creature".

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

#TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #Monsterdon so they poked its eye. These people must have been brainwashed by all the previous movies where weapons don't work. So huzzah, they can kill it with just about anything.

Good luck out their boys exterminating an newly discovered species.

#monsterdon #TheBeastWhoChallengedTheWorld

"Is there any danger the egg might hatch?"

Oh no, we'll need to wait for the third act when this Rube Goldberg Machine fucks up and sets up the final rampage. #Monsterdon

As long as no one touches this tempting, shiny, candy-like knob nothing bad can happen. #Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

any bets on who changes the knob on the thermostat?

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

planning a genocide just military things #monsterdon

Yup, he's gonna give them their FINAL instructions.

#monsterdon #TheBeastWhoChallengedTheWorld

I don't think this Doctor has a v good bedside manner. #Monsterdon

want to sell this info to monster hunters #monsterdon

DID Y'GET THAT? AS LONG AS THIS KNOB IS SET

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

So what about their encounter made them believe hatching this thing would be a good idea? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🏜️☀️🌵🫨🦪🐚🐌🦐😱

this Dr needs to put on a dang tie and then get demoted it looks like his mom bought him his lab coat at sears and was counting on him growing into it. Also, he has poor judgement.

"I'm over it now, my husband died two years ago. It means nothing any more."

#monsterdon #TheBeastWhoChallengedTheWorld

"When Tom was killed they said all those things to me" about how it was all his fault and he was too dumb to avoid it and why on earth did you marry him #Monsterdon

My husband died horribly, but I'm over it. It's been two whole years. #Monsterdon

what's wrong. dude, you just had to poke the eye out of a 10 ft tall centipede, your coworker is off telling a pregnant lady her husband was eaten by a 10 ft tall centipede, and you're about to push off to hunt a 10 ft centipede. are you serious?

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

Two years sounds about right to get over a pilot who was stationed in San Diego.
