Gail and the monster are the best actors in this AFAICT #monsterdon

To make sure it's dead, we're going to do the equivalent of carpet bombing with depth charges.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

In the Radio Shack, messin' with the TRS-80 #Monsterdon

"Bet you a dollar you're George's widow."

*backstory* 😎

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

@wohali They won’t let him out until he gives them his phone number. #Monsterdon

Dammit, even when I'm in a better timezone I oversleep #monsterdon 🙈

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

From radio shack to love shack.

offering a cigarete so they can stop talking #monsterdon

"What's wrong"

lololol

#MonsterDon

"He's in the radio shed" Radio Shack started out small #Monsterdon

Is that a Slitheen?
#Monsterdon

it's the story

of two lovely ladies

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

The dialogue is better than this movie deserves. #monsterdon

Lol

Him: Cigarette?

Her: You know what? You're easy to talk to

#Monsterdon
#TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

She doesn't seem very upset
#Monsterdon

"What did your husband do?"

He DIED, dipshit. Try to keep up. #Monsterdon

"Dude!! Uncool!! I was just coming to tell you about Big Bear, I can only assume you've never heard of it if you're in a boat on the Salton Sea.... omg that was my EYE wtf?? I never should have taken this job with the California Tourist Information Bureau" #Monsterdon

For an urgent situation of life-and-death proportions, there's a lot of "We'll see you in the morning" scenes in this. Everyone punching out on the clock at every opportunity.

#monsterdon

"Would you like a cigarette?"

They're toasted! Barely any asbestos! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🏜️☀️🌵🫨🦪🐚🐌🦐😱

Woman: *talking about grief*

Dude: 'would you like a cigarette?'

Ah, it’s the Navy’s good old standard “conducting explosive tests” line. We’re on to them now.

#Monsterdon

Is the science guy just wearing clothes they found washed up on the beach? That jacket looks like it had a previous owner of a very different size.

#Monsterdon

Oh we got boats on land too. Damn those 50s station wagons are big. Almost half the size of a modern pick up.
#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

"Where's Doctor Rogers?"

"He's in the Radio Shack."

"Probably looking at that fool Battery Club again. Or maybe some R/C cars."

#monsterdon

He's in the Radio Shack?

#Monsterdon

Oh shit the pregnant lady is here. Everybody be cool. #Monsterdon

Yep the routine tests that always alays suspicion, everyone will believe that.
#TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #Monsterdon

I do love the look of those old cars

#Monsterdon

"Where's George?!" "He's chum, Jim"

#monsterdon

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

The monster now has no depth perception and is completely harmless.

I SAID COMPLETELY HARMLESS.

#monsterdon #TheBeastWhoChallengedTheWorld

On the other hand, we now have a good baseline for this movie -- the creature is NOT better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. #Monsterdon

Hot parking action! #Monsterdon

I miss Radio Shack! #Monsterdon

It looks like they spent all of $5 on this monster

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Tanks for nothing John.

"Could you sign these, Doctor?"
Um, Doc, you might want to read it first? Just saying...

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

He's shrimp food, ma'am. #Monsterdon

Routine tests of underwater explosions & THAT is going to chill people out about no swimming? #Monsterdon

"Where's George?" "He... I'm sorry... he got too curious."

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

And we've got the coverup.

#Monsterdon

[ creature scream ]
Well the Monster That Challenged is no more. Good to have a short film for once folks. Good night everybody~
#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

“Routine tests with underwater explosives” #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Did the Salton Sea have fish back in that time? Was it already polluted?

If so, what did Salty eat?

I hesitate to check off "Charmingly Bad 'Sea Monster'" on the bingo card because I don't even think it's bad, but I suppose this qualifies

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

#Monsterdon

You sure you wanna go back right away where your buddy got et?

Oh, poor monster. I hope she and her egg sac will be okay. #monsterdon
