The music sting tells me that was Chekov's Neck Kerchief.

#monsterdon #TheBeastWhoChallengedTheWorld

But... but... but... the swimming was verboten.

#Monsterdon

Ah, we're pretending it is night. Got it.

#Monsterdon

if you run like that he will catch you #monsterdon

"It's sure a beautiful night." We have…totally unconvincing day-for-night!!!

#Monsterdon

Ah young, off screen, romance. #Monsterdon

"I didn't have t'SEE him, I could SMELL 'im!"

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

what even is the deal with so many old monster movies having radioactive creatures? just playing on atomic fear?
#monsterdon

Tasty swimmers for the monster.
#Monsterdon

Did you get a look at that moon? It's casting such sharp shadows #monsterdon

So much kissing in movies looks like at least one person in the lip lock is trying to eat the other. #Monsterdon

Well somebody's getting a look at that moon

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

You shouldn't have named somebody you wanted to live morte..

#Monsterdon 🏜️☀️🌵🫨🦪🐚🐌🦐😱

ruh roh I think Morty and Jody are toast (which is now soppy)

well that's a #monsterdonbingo! diagonal: the folly of youth, something ominous, FREE, strange sounds, monster attack music

#monsterdon

Listen to mother hon Horny Morty's no good #Monsterdon

Just when you thought it was saf- *hooked off stage*

#monsterdon

Death count now five.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

He might have mentioned the No Swimming BEFORE she left the house.

#MOnsterdon

Remember when beaches were just like, always empty?

Me either.

#Monsterdon

oh it’s night.

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

The giant clams are gonna run into the She-Creature coming the other direction. #Monsterdon

Romance violin & oboe are romancing

#Monsterdon

Chekov's neckerchief?

#monsterdon
#TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

That's too nice a suit to not go swimming in... Hm... Oh look good not going to ruin things (and yes I just tuned in, so I have no idea what is going on). #Monsterdon

Closing up my beach gives me a terrible headache. #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #Monsterdon

That boy does not look like a "Morty"
#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Oh wow, I recognize Audrey Dalton from Kitten With a Whip.
#Monsterdon

"Ma, she's" - bad subtitle. "Marshes". She likes hanging around marshes.

Mosquito-bite fetish.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Surprisingly, I may not be able to check off "Amusingly Corny Dialog" tonight

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

@CactuarJoe LMBO!!! She's got a terrible headache, she says. #Monsterdon #TheMonsterthatChallengedTheWorld 👾🎥

#Monsterdon

Sandwich in the morgue.
Classic.

Ominous music as she put down the scarf...

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

This movie has more women than most old Monsterdon flicks. But it's not really showing in the plot.
#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

"Hey hun, what are these two marks on your nec--OHMYGOD!"

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

A simple moonlight swim. Little did they know ...

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

#Monsterdon 🏜️☀️🌵🫨🦪🐚🐌🦐😱

Jody and the myth of the functional white bathing suit

She looks better in the dark
#Monsterdon

Effin' Morty
Ruining it for all of us

#Monsterdon

this girl is extremely out of control disobeing her mother #monsterdon

Folks are overly quippy in this, considering we’ve already got two dead guys and some radioactive slime.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

It sure is a beautiful night in the middle of the day...

Jodie gonna become the She-Creature.

#monsterdon

I'm pretty sure it was NEVER a good idea to swim in the Salton Sea. Or sail on it.

Maybe they're trying to add conflict by introducing theoretical recreational use.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

"Did you get a look at that moon?" Dude, it's like 2PM #Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Ma slowed me down for About 45 seconds so I'll blame her for me being late.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

If this is a beautiful day-for-night, I'm Arnold Palmer

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

My God, five speaking women and one girl???

#MonsterDon

Nope, "Chick" test.
As in Jack Chick. It is to test for moral corruption and deviation from Christian values.

@cptbutton @ProcessParsnip

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

a beautiful "night"

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza Jodie's pulling up sharp! Good for her!

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

#Monsterdon "No Swimming"... Hm... And we're on the beach, so um no swimming will happen right?

This movie is from the days when vibrators required a much larger external power supply connected via a cable

#monsterdon #TheBeastWhoChallengedTheWorld

Jody can get it. #Monsterdon

I’d let her do my carbons, if you know what I mean (i don’t know what this means) #Monsterdon

"Nothing. Still lesbian, I guess."

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

Talking to her about her beach is one thousand percent a euphemism. #Monsterdon

Oh hey so THIS is how Gidget got started

#Monsterdon
#TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

@diazona they took doses of rad-x beforehand its fine #monsterdon

And that's when she got on that Harley an rode until dawn. 😎

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

"You get home early."

No, Mom, I'm gonna FUCK ALL NIGHT LONG. #Monsterdon

I'll have some radiation tenders and a uranum shake. To go. #monsterdon

#TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #Monsterdon Oh, it must be Godzilla sperm...

oh ya a check test, that's when you gotta check something by running a test

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
"Doctor, the geiger counter is going hot!"

She's doomed. #Monsterdon

Hey let's all stand closer to the radioactive water

for science

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Explaining simple marine secretions...

#Monsterdon

A check test

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

"need to talk to you about your beach. it's kinda shit"

#monsterdon

Run a chex mix test for all I care. #Monsterdon

"I don't want to hurt you - well, no, I'm lying, I do. But I'm better than that."

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

Loving the science approach to radioactivity: quite true to reality #monsterdon

"Jodie? I've just learned you're about to be killed. It's part of the horror movie morality."

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Is there romantic tension between these two?

What about Rick? Is she allowed to date Rick?

#Monsterdon

"Hmmm... we need further testing to determine radioactivity. You better drink it George."

#Monsterdon

"Our young friend in Naval Intelligence …"

…

Young?

#Monsterdon

better take some radaway #monsterdon

Is a character reference a euphemism for something? #Monsterdon

The scientist looks very Christopher Lloyd-like #Monsterdon

mmm, radioactive ovaltine

#monsterdon

I mean I don't work with radioactive stuff (I.....think...??) but I thought when the Geiger counter went off you should, like, get away from the thing making it happy?

#Monsterdon
#TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

"Ink Cola"!? EWWWWWW

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

"Who're you goin' out with?" "Ghostbusters"

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

"I'd like to talk to you about your beach."

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

"We've been over Area 1 _and_ Area 2 over and over again, Commander - there's no radiation!"

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

no gloves, no ppe of any kind, just pick up that phone mid-experiment #monsterdon

…

Okay, I know this is hardly the point, but why are they consulting the local sheriff? The Navy has coroners, there are Marine MPs… and the military isn't exactly known for sharing info with townies.

#Monsterdon

Commander John Dillinger, did you say? #Monsterdon

Oooh radioactive spooge #Monsterdon

Perhaps that explains why your hand glows in the dark now.

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

Ah back when the Salton Sea was a resort location instead of  a toxic salt sea
#monsterdon  

Quarantine / No Swimming.

Because fun is dangerously contagious. #Monsterdon

"Don't let him bug you, I'll give you a character reference"

That sounded menacing

#Monsterdon
#TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Who knew the coroner was gonna be the comedic relief?

#monsterdon

Ah yes, extreme emotions can certainly cause a young healthy sailor to stroke a lobe.

#monsterdon #TheBeastWhoChallengedTheWorld

Sandwiches: rejected! #Monsterdon

That other scientists was Grandpa Fred in Sixteen Candles. #Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Ducks be like "You can't tell us where to not swim"

#Monsterdon
