How empty are these children’s lives that they’re about to come to blows over a washed up sailor’s cap. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon So, the goop is highly radioactive? And now it's on a public beach?

Might want someone to clean that up?

"Did you find this cap?"

"No I gave birth to it sailor boy!"

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

Why is she balling like that? You'd think her daughter died or som... oh.
#Monsterdon

Of course a guy named "Mort" died

#Monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

The petite Mort

#Monsterdon

In the science room, the science masters use a geiger counter on the monster cum, confirming that it is radioactive.

#monsterdon

"I understand, Jody. I understand that you're a WHORE!"

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

Spielberg directly copied this scene for Jaws 😯

#Monsterdon

Oh, not MORTY.

#monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #ChallengedTheWorld1957

Someone realizes that they're in a movie with a sea monster, so the sheriff goes to close off the beach. The beach owner complains because it's hot and he owns a beach and so he wants people to swim, but they close the beach anyway.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Don't worry, we won't give you any vital, life-saving information until your daughter is out of earshot.

In 20 years that beach actually would be closed off due to all the pollution...

#Monsterdon

Calling it, the salinity of the lake means the creature has to take it's water from flesh....

#Monsterdon

After returning from their relaxing boat trip, the lead army guy talks to a scientist, who explains that of course our atomic experiments had nothing to do with anything that happened in this movie.

Then another girl appears in this movie, bringing a little girl who talks about rabbits, becoming my favorite character so far. She offers the lead army guy a ladybug, which is a nice thing to offer people if you are the little girl.

"If I heard the word "science" one more time I'm gonna kill everyone in this room with my rolled-up magazine."

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

Why are everyone's immediate families allowed in the research lab??? Is this the 50's or the late 90's? #Monsterdon

"Science Face and Science Fiction are not the same"

Spoilsport. Some of us have grifts to push!

#Monsterdon

Don't trust him with your ladybug

#monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

"Shrivelled"

"Shrivelled?!"

"Yeah, like a dick in cold water, .....yeah I went there!"

#Monsterdon

I mean, anything could be radioactive if you try hard enough.

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

I'm not even touching the white goop.

Guess that's why I'm not a commander

#Monsterdon

It's Hollister! And he looks hella surprised!

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

LOL @ Hollister-corpse

#Monsterdon

OK #TIMESTAMP I AM gonna need that clip of the goddamn surfacing balloon guy #monsterdon

Are any of these actors even familiar with the concept of emotions? #monsterdon

Land this is flutterboy, I've lost my Johnson

#Monsterdon

"Have a boat standing by"

So you can dive off the edge into murky water

#Monsterdon
#TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

That's the scream of a man who is not used to screaming. #Monsterdon #TheMonsterthatChallengedTheWorld 👾🎥

@trixter Eyes like two minute eggs #Monsterdon

While this #monsterdon does not include a toy boat, it at least includes a set of a boat, which is kind of a toy boat, so that's nice.

Aww jeez there goes our bonus!

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

I'm not responding to "flutterboy", my name is Harvey. #Monsterdon

The parachute ATE HIM!

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

This is flutterboy. I told you not to call me that.
#Monsterdon

Maybe he's born with it. Maybe it's Flutterboy.

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

It's no fair that he can jump out of the movie and we can't

#Monsterdon

When there’s a large sign at the entry that reads “U.S. Navy Science Laboratory,” you know it's serious.

#Monsterdon

I didn't think the navy did "atomic experiments" but I could be wrong.

#Monsterdon

It's a Star Trek energy being!

Oh...it's the titles..

#Monsterdon

@ottaross I was wondering about that... and thinking maybe it died offscreen of eye bleeding. #monsterdon

@sandbender OTOH: In go rabbits, which would give you rabbit starvation if you try to subsist on them; out comes giant shrimp. Rich in omega oils and fatty acids.

#Monsterdon

@CardboardRobot Yep, guns totally effective! Very odd for this kind of movie but there y'go

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

@JoeWynne @paco @combatwombat No double feature today though

#Monsterdon

@bstacey @Canageek There is _still_ a public steam utility in Seattle.

And so they fucked off to the swimmin' hole.

Alright fam, that was a lot of fun. Great riffs, good movie, even though it was basically store-brand THEM! with snails. The monster was cool, and all y'all were awesome.

The Owlbear is done, though, so imma get some sleep. Take care of each other. Be kind, spread love, and keep plenty of salt around in case of snail attack.

Goodnight!
#Monsterdon

@Canageek It kind of looked like a steam supply line

#Monsterdon

This is the 1950s you can't show Unnatural Axes in the movies!

#monsterdon

OW
GOOD GOD
BRICK WALL ENDING
#monsterdon

That monster was very un-terrifying

#Monsterdon

After attacking the monster with a laboratory smoke pipe of some kind, some soldiers arrive and just shoot the thing. RIP snail monster, RIP.

#monsterdon

So, world went decidedly UNchallenged, then?

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

My favorite thing about #Monsterdon movies are the abrupt endings

The commander drives back to do a rescue. Because he's played the Awful Green Things From Outer Space, he tries using a fire extinguisher on the monster, which at least distracts it enough for Secretary #2 and Ladybug Girl to escape. But then he runs out of fire extinguisher juice and so just starts throwing things at it.

#monsterdon

"I think I'm all right! That weird thing laid eggs in me but I'm sure that's fine, right mommy?"

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

Oh is that it?

#Monsterdon

whatever you do, don't pick up the axe that was hanging extremely conveniently on the wall and use it as a melee weapon #monsterdon

I don't know what sound I expect them to make, but not that

#Monsterdon

I'm sorry, no way I'm going swimming after that thing jumps out of the sea. #Monsterdon

this is what happens when you skip axe training, sailors #Monsterdon

everyone knows that molluscs are weak to tubes that spray out a bunch of stuff! and also gunfire. lots of gunfire #monsterdon

"It's great knowing we got them all" 😶

#Monsterdon

I mean she's not even using the mop to poke the creature, what a wuss...

#Monsterdon

Honestly I bet there are some cleaning chemicals in that closet that could do a number on the monster

#Monsterdon

She should throw the child towards the creature and make good her escape

#Monsterdon

Kid's shrieks are on the tame side, I'm not buying it.

#monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #ChallengedTheWorld1957

lol, those rabbits are dead because of you!

#Monsterdon

poor buns :blobcry:

#monsterdon

Mostly they eat rabbits... mostly.

#monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

"Now we kick back and relax for half an hour before we do anything, smoke 'em if you got 'em" is a great way to maintain tension in a monster movie

#Monsterdon

I guess somebody had to make this movie

#Monsterdon

Got a Lucky rabbit's foot?

#monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

oh wait the egg!!!!!!!! Noooooo #monsterdon

alright so... is that it? 6 minutes??? #monsterdon

Just jump on the monster so he goes back in his shell.

Keep doing it for extra lives

#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ the hero plastique is much smaller, but also better detailed

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

would be epic if a giant ladybug showed up rn is all I'm saying

#monsterdon

@xerozohar that was for the TF fans in the audience

#monsterdon

Good ol' Proposition 14A, repeatedly defeated

#Monsterdon

Snail Army!

#Monsterdon

"average American knows 3 languages" is a statistical error. Average American knows 1 language. Languages Dobbs, who lives in a cave and knows 18 languages, is an outlier and should not be counted.

#Monsterdon

"Yes Twill. Is everything all right? Are you all right? What are you wearing? Is it sexy?"

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

"hang on, i only have two bars on this thing. can you drive the car up onto that hill?"

#Monsterdon

Everyone on the internet is doing the Caterpillar Bucket Challenge

#monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

@gblues and not because he HAS to either, it's a choice...

#Monsterdon

"I thought to myself, there's something breaking out there! Yes sir, there's a breakin' going about. Breaking, that's what it is. That's what I thought myself. When I heard the breakin, that is."

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

Lewis Clark Dobbs is in league with the snail...

#Monsterdon

Dobbs is going to kill all of us.

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

Monster mashed

#monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

Wah! Giant tartigrade attack.

#Monsterdon

MONSTER CHOMP

#monsterdon

methinks this lockmeister is imperiled

#monsterdon

"More splashin'! Time to drown me some kids!"

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

@peribotsarah I love how she logically considers that turning up the thermostat on the water will warm up the room and keep the rabbit from shivering.

#Monsterdon

The Navy plan is to trap the monster in some canal locks when it tries to escape.

We call grumpy hat guy, who runs one of the canal locks but hasn't seen a monster and is mad about all the foolishness in the world. He then hears some splashing and grabs a shotgun, leaving to ward off some boys who are swimming even though it clearly says "no swimming" everywhere and also there's a monster that eats swimmers.

But no one gets eaten, this is a red herring.

#monsterdon

:: more monster noises ::
#Monsterdon

Oh - instead of the little girl and the monster scene, it's little girl releases the monster.
