I can tell this guy is real Navy because remembering the ship has two sides was the smartest thing he did. #Monsterdon
Ok, what did I miss in the first five minutes? #Monsterdon
That's the biggest Johnson I've ever seen!
#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld
I'm an investigating officer! That's right. Goodbye Mr. exposition by phonecall. #monsterdon
Whoa! Goodbye, Flutterboy #Monsterdon
The Salton Sea is actually really fascinating in its own right https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salton_Sea
My back was turned (doing laundry) what did I miss. Did the monster show itself or just the implication on one?
#Monsterdon
Did he say goin' down FOR him or ON him? #Monsterdon
Well, you took your sweet time getting to him and now he's drowned.
@CactuarJoe swamp things have to return to the freshwater lakes they came from to spawn
The number of people who just dive straight off boats into murky water in these movies really explains the spinal cord injury rate of the last half of the 20th century
Oh, did I forget to Scheveninngen today?
Poster for Scheveningen behind the radio operator. Scheveningen is in The Hague. Is this political commentary? #monsterdon
Wait... anchors are *real*??
That poster on the wall has some serious legs.

Aah. Aaaah. Aaaaaah. #Monsterdon

oh no not Johnson!
Klim Schevening? Was that local radio poster in German?
#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld
Flutterboy has a better grasp of radio protocols. #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #Monsterdon
Johnson's chowder, chief. #Monsterdon
These seas are remarkably calm. I'm scared.
#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld
There is water at the bottom of the sea...

What a sinister parachute. #Monsterdon
blubblubblub
Anyone have a youtube video or article exploring the salton sea i can watch after the movie #monsterdon
@xerozohar Freshwater Lake Thing #Monsterdon
Okay ensign ready to call it a day, call you back. #Monsterdon
Swamp thing: the early years
Just the tip. #Monsterdon
MENACING SHADOW!
#monsterdon
So they're going to save something that looks like a badly inflated prop from the water? DON'T DO IT THAT WAY LIES MADNESS AND A GIANT AMOEBA RAMPAGING THROUGH THE CORRIDORS OF THE SEAVIEW
Genuine question does that design of sailors hat have a purpose? #monsterdon
Talking about a parachute tester ... "He's gotta be here - I saw him hit!"
Love the shaky cam of the parachutist. That had to be impressive in the 50s, right?
#Monsterdon
flutter boy? is that what they called them in the 50s?
They drop anchor... nice touch.
In case you didnβt knowβ¦ the Salton Sea is where saltine crackers come from.
I wonder what came first, the script or the parachuting footage. #monsterdon
Heh. Navy callsigns are hilarious. "Flutterboy" sounds like the sidekick to Moth Man. #Monsterdon
*touches the surface of the water* Clams. Two, three days old. #Monsterdon
Is this a prequel about DB Cooper and how he learned to jump out of planes?
#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld
"Flutterboy".
A nickname given to him due to the rampant homophobic bullying of the time, no doubt.
"Come in."
Sorry, can't respond, too busy investigating the hot dog legs on the poster behind me. #Monsterdon
Sch-evening! Sch-marvolous!
#monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957
Oh no my mannequin #Monsterdon
Hiiii "Butterboy"
#monsterdon #Challengedtheworld1957
Chekhovβs βroutineβ
The filming on this movie is top-notch. I can't believe they completed this in 16 days.
#Monsterdon
Never have a routine event in a movie never goes well #monsterdon
I was posting and didnβt get why Hollister is jumping over a lake #Monsterdon
This "telling instead of showing" narration does not bode well.
August Lehman is responsible for the special effects, so we know who to complain about later.
#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld
PT-109 on the Salton Sea.. over..
#TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #Monsterdon Tame rock formations aren't as feisty.
#TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #Monsterdon
get HALO'd, idiot
#monsterdon This narrator sounds like he wants to sell me some sugar smacks breakfast cereal.
Big documentary vibe, with a hint of ominous. Beautiful parachute silks. #monsterdon
hand radio 4 what now?
Hi friends, this is Monsterdon post No. 1
(All others will go below)
It's this one if you wanna join!

They're always hitting the silk, but have they ever considered just sitting down with the silk and talking though their problems? #Monsterdon
Or did he say Butterboy? That's not better. #Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld
I'm on the Parachute Test Unit sounds like a good excuse for ghosting someone. #Monsterdon
What a deadpan narrator. Earthquake and his tone barely changes. No excitement.
Don't remember the Salton Sea being quite that ... large.
Here you can see the parachutist signalling the ship to recover the capsule first
If we'd waited till next month we could be watching this on May 17th, when it all begins.
Bonus points for the very cool parachuting shot.
#Monsterdon
Time for #Monsterdon
FTR fam, I'm only using the #Monsterdon hashtag because fuck that's a long title, and we got character limits an' shit.
Anyone know about Spooky Lake Month on TikTok? Somehow I have a feeling that this movie will be less interesting than the Spooky Lake Month video about the Salton Sea
Why yes. Salt does go on the sea. And in the sea. And under the sea. So much salt.
Is the narrator bored already? We just started this movie.
#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld
Uh. Is there going to be a quiz later? This is a lot to take in. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon I like the fakeout where we think it's going to be another Bikini Atoll nukular test footage opening to a movie but then the light transforms into the title. good job, film!
While typing: That must have been some earthquake, look how it's making the camera shake!
GET BACK IN HERE! YOURE GOING TO BE IN THIS MOVIE, MISTER!
MAAAAAAVRIIIIICK #Monsterdon
I too am extremely salty.
#monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #ChallengedTheWorld1957
This was gonna be one more routine #MONSTERDON
Okay, but the #SaltonSea is already gone and it is a toxic hellhole and it did produce some new species of weird shit and microbes I think, right?
#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChangedTheWorld1957 #MonsterMiru
I didn't think the navy did "atomic experiments" but I could be wrong.
WOOHOO DO A HEADER MAN DO A HEADERRRRRRRRR
This is a delightful voice-over. Smoooooooth voice.
#Monsterdon
This WAS the Salton Sea.
I feel the hype is underwhelming for this. #Monsterdon
the parachute test unit. our motto is, "oops."
#monsterdon
Yeah, rigid security control
please have the military as real life evil and incompenent #monsterdon
that's a lot of names to start with. all i remember is "salton sea"
Snacks: Easter candy and Passover leftovers, yum
Directed by Arnold was Just Leavan. #Monsterdon
mmmm, nuget
One more routine pickup... OF DEATH
Pre steady cam invention.
