@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.

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

Lol - I love how the switchboard operator is always on the phone with her mom.

#Monsterdon

I love how passive-aggressive this librarian guy is.

Meanwhile some cops are farting around driving around the sea, where they encounter a torn shirt guy who screams "Mary Jane" and then passes out; the cops discover more monster cum... I mean... um... Defensive Snail Juice inside his shirt. When they inspect the inside of his shirt.

#monsterdon

Meanwhile, at the 4077th...

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

A Surprise Mexican Child appears to scam the Navy Commander by selling him a pen, then taking his money, not giving him the pen and running off. But it's not actually a scam, he comes back and offers him a choice of pens.

This is a welcome break from the boring dinner conversation, which somehow makes Secretary 2 extremely wet so she's like "oh plz take me home right now!"

#monsterdon

@Binder It's a longvines - never heard of them, but kind of a Rolex like plugola
#Monsterdon

Stop calling me Mary Jean! You're delirious!

Nothing has happened for the last 15 minutes!

It's only quarter after 10. Hence the direct light from overhead.

Chekovs pen...

He's serious on the outside, but a ticklish bear underneath

@ezra it's this week's #Monsterdon monster :P

I'm sure nothing bad will happen to the two redshirts. #monsterdon

Well, well, well

#Monsterdon

Was this before the concept of leftovers had been invented?

#Monsterdon

I hope the monster comes out of the wishing well... but i doubt it will

you can see why she is so into this guy, he is giving her absolutely nothing #monsterdon

"Scotty stop trying to make "Nothing But Moonlight" happen we're not interested in your country western career."

Not completely sold on this monsters being all that much of an existential threat to humanity as they seem to be very vulnerable to sticks.

DUCK

#monsterdon

In this scene, the science master explains everything.

We discover that the monster cum is actually Defensive Snail Juice.

Also, the danger is that the giant monsters will walk to a nearby canal and then conquer the world, despite us not seeing any of them walk before.

Consulting a Life Magazine we learn that shrimp can hatch from dormant eggs, and the science master concludes that the monsters hatched from dormant eggs left over from millions of years ago.

@wohali Is THAT where all the white stuff came from #Monsterdon

The Commander like's his 'Will Riker' pose, doesn't he?

#Monsterdon

Bad News: there's a monster in our lake that is eating all of our swimmers and cumming on all of our rocks and boats.

Good News: said monster is vulnerable to long sticks.

#monsterdon

"We're about ready to shove off. Can he talk her through her grief in the next three minutes?"

#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

The diver comes up and screams about a monster, then realizes that the giant salt crystal is one of its eggs. The monster surfaces so we attack it with harpoons and stab its eye, which looks appropriately gross.

Mad that it lost its eye, the monster retreats into the sea.

#monsterdon

Yes, ineffectually poke at it, that'll work

#Monsterdon

Good thing nobody in this navy carries weapons.

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

“My eye!”

Oh, they are DEFINITELY getting eaten

#Monsterdon

Having examined enough ladybugs, the commander guy goes to the county morgue to learn about the bodies they found in the sea, where the coroner explains that they were punctured and drained of blood and now their skin is like leather. Also, the guy on the boat died of a stroke, which was caused either by either 'Anger' or 'Fear', both things that i didn't think can call strokes.

The coroner then offers them mortuary sandwiches, so they leave.
#monsterdon

@cocaine_owlbear California isn't exactly known for giant worms, either :P

#Monsterdon

Closing the beaches? Panic on the fourth of July!

#Monsterdon

Lemme guess, he kidnaps a lady bug and pisses off every other creature on earth triggering a monster attack? Sounds like my story.

Anger, fear, and NOTHING ELSE. That's SCIENCE. #monsterdon

We doin' a Jaws?

#monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

I think strokes come from more than 'violent anger and fear' doc....

#Monsterdon

This movie has at least one pipe in it. The 1950s was the era of men smoking pipes. I think.

#monsterdon

What about really complicated bleeding?
