rabbit mention, hope they show up (but not get hurt)

“Do you understand?”

“No. Of course not.”

I think these lines don’t mean what the writers think they mean.

#Monsterdon

We send some more important sailors to look for our missing sailors, and they approach in an identical boat. They find a young Colonel Sanders unconscious in the boat, I assume he was the bulging eye guy; all other sailors are missing.

We also find some monster cum on the side of the boat and decide to take a sample of it after rubbing our hands on it.

Oh wait, then a corpse of Lt. Hollister with a bulging eye surfaces to scare them by looking spooky. #monsterdon

A "substance".

She's gonna start practicing signing "Mrs. Twillinger" in her diary now.

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

Oh good there's a girl in this movie (she's a secretary).

#monsterdon

@bryanhowell they hadn't invented sinks yet

#Monsterdon

Ewwwwww, monster goo

#monsterdon

Misogyny and toxic masculinity wouldn't allow that man the soul cleansing scream he deserved. #Monsterdon #TheMonsterthatChallengedTheWorld 👾🎥

OH WASH YOUR HANDS

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

Maybe Hollister's face *always* looked like that?

#monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

ok but how uh did we get here

#monsterdon

Twillinger. Flutterboy. Every word in this script is a DELIGHT.

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

@plaidtron3000 the monster is secretly employed by the FCC

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I'm not a stonemason, I'm a doctor!

"You see him?"

"Yeah, but I figured, fuck 'em if he can't swim."

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

Today's #monsterdon starts with a nuclear explosion, which indicates that this is probably a godzilla scenario.

We then go to the Salton Sea, an inland lake, where a narrator tells us about a naval base there that does atomic experiments and also parachute testing. It had an earthquake underwater too, which we see with a model of some rocks falling down under the sea.

Anyway, our first named character is a Lieutenant Hollister who tests parachutes over the sea.

"but jeff only composed 3 seconds of horn music"
"fuck, just loop it"

Launching my thread for The Monster that Challenged the World, today's #monsterdon selection.

Monsterdon is the thing where we watch an old monster movie each week and make fun of it. Sometimes they're good, sometimes they're terrible. Mute the hash tag if you don't want to see all the posts by me and everyone else about this monster movie. Otherwise enjoy the things!

finished watching The Monster That Challenged the World 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑
Has effects, characters and monsters not as terrible as the usual 1950s fare.

Watched in #Monsterdon watch party on Mastodon.

#NeoDB

This is Alpha Control saying great job team, another movie launched into space. And thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting!

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

Twill could choose between an axe and a fire extinguisher to attack the monster, and he chose to douse it with fire retardant. 🤦‍♂️

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Also, bingo ^_^

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

Anyone else need like two more #monsterdon movies because the Sunday scaries hit very suddenly at the end?

@Lazarou @Taweret @ryan Yeah, it doesn't take much though

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

All in all this bad big bug movie wasn't as bad as I expected. The monster was very limited but well used for what there was of it. The cast of characters was interesting (not counting the male lead). The plot was Jaws in a lake.
But it needed to either be a little better or a little worse. As is I'll probably forget most of it by next week. I do wanna stop for breakfast though.
#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Y'know that was positively not bad for a #Monsterdon movie

Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everybody for posting! And @ryan for the stream. See y'all next week!

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Alrighty reposting again so it's at the other end of the #monsterdon block:

This word "challenged". I do not think it means what you think it means.

#Monsterdon

No, grab that axe, the axe!!!

#Monsterdon

‘Twas rifles killed the beast

#monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

What the hell is that hose supposed to be? Just generic coldness? #monsterdon

You know what I remember about this movie?

Scheveningen.

#monsterdon

Mollusc menace: murdered

#monsterdon

Movie you mostly won me over toy your side, but you turned Chekov's Axe into the Cocktease Axe.
#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

Oh there are the guns...

Twillinger is spent, his hose dribbles

#monsterdon

Now get him with the graduated cylinder!

#monsterdon

You're just fine honny, its the rabbits that paid for your mistake.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🏜️☀️🌵🫨🦪🐚🐌🦐😱

wut?

See, what did I say? Conventional weapons work wonders on these things!

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

The Erlenmeyer flask! Throw the Erlenmeyer!

#monsterdon

This America, how come nobody guns?

#Monsterdon

you just KNOW they had the MFer ignore the axe so that the whole audience would be like: "Use the axe, foo!"

#monsterdon

Is he killing it with steam?

#Monsterdon #ChallengedTheWorld1957

The Monster That Challenged the Fire Code. #Monsterdon

We shipping Gail and Twill?

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

You know it's a real monster if it just stands in the damage zone and doesn't try to get away or anything. #Monsterdon

Is he gonna die? Is this a Sean Astin in Stranger Things moment?

#monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #ChallengedTheWorld1957

He's probably trying to freeze the giant snail to throw on the grill later

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

@MatthewTitus88 fire house maybe #monsterdon

<ignores axe and grabs fire extinguisher> that must be the funniest moment yet! 🤣
#monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #ChallengedTheWorld1957

Yeah, throw random chemicals... Where are your damn handgun commander?
#monsterdon

Dude, the axe.

#Monsterdon

DUDE. THERE'S AN AXE RIGHT THERE.

Time for your Here's Johnny! moment.

#MONsterdon

there was a mop AND a broom. Gail and Sandy were halfway to a Macedonian Phalanx!

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe xenomorph logic

#monsterdon

Why not use the axe, for Pete’s sake! #Monsterdon

That's not Gail, doctor! It looks nothing like her!

#monsterdon #challengedtheworld1957

I'm renaming this film to "The very naughty girl who disobeyed the rules and destroyed a lot of public property due to her tomfoolery"

#Monsterdon

HEEEERES JOHHNY #monsterdon

Doctor doctor! gimme the news. I got a bad case

of mollusk spoodge

#monsterdon

use tha hatchet, juggalo!

#monsterdon

Secretary 2 should just grab that mop and try to fight the monster, since sticks worked very well against it last time.

#monsterdon

We flip the switch and explode some giant snails. The commander drives back to the office, where Secretary #2 and Ladybug Girl are hanging out. Ladybug Girl goes to check on her rabbits, but their zoom rooms have been smashed and are now covered with Defensive Snail Juice. Also there's a monster in our lab now. Everybody scream.

#monsterdon

The shot of the two of them in the lab with the monster is the best the movie has done so far

#Monsterdon

the infamous toast and coffee scene!

#monsterdon

hope this kid walking into the lab she screwed up isn't about to get mollusc munched

#monsterdon

Quick! Call 911!

The line's busy because SOMEONE is calling their mother AGAIN

#monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

@jivens I like this plot

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld

This is just so hilariously boring, like we're chasing monsters through canals (nail biting!) and now we have to wait for the sediment to clear before we know anything (EDGE OF MY SEAT!)

I ❤️ Monsterdon
