And thus ends another #monsterdon, not with a bang but with a fizz-zap-pop-sizzle.

I'd forgotten what a repugnant human Quatermass was. But he is a stereotypical American from a British view point, so I guess that makes some kind of sense.

Anyway, thank you all for tooting along, and thank you as always to @Taweret for hosting! Til the next time!

Oh, OH NO.

THAT'S NOT GLITTER

IMDB trivia "Among the materials used by Les Bowie to embellish the monster were bovine entrails and tripe"

😱

I prefer this ending:

"Quatermass leaves the building, ignoring all questions.

Heading outside, he stops.

Then, tentacles erupt from... everywhere and he screams as spores flood out."

I keep seeing references to "gin goblin" on the timeline, but missed it in the movie. Is there some reason they didn't use the phrase "demon gin"? Was it considered too old fashioned by 1955?

"If that thing spores before we kill it, you won't have any city!" Okay, that's quite a good line

Also, I like the symmetry of the too-hot-to-touch metal/electrocution via metal scaffolding
