#monsterdon

I like this old girl, Rosie, she knows her rights, damnit!

#Monsterdon #TheQuartermassXperiment

Thanks for a great monsterdon everyone, that one was weird. What are we voting for on Monday? :D

#Monsterdon

@JoeWynne @maunmaun ikr

#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

@Violinknitter oh yes! #Monsterdon

@Terencio

Yeah, take that Alf! And weird octosquid space thing.

#Monsterdon #TheQuaterMassXperiment

Meanwhile on Wrong Frogs double feature from @miru
It's Mothra! FOR THE 90s!
#Monsterdon #Mothra1

@strangefour Right? He's objectively the worst person or monster in the film.
#monsterdon #quatermass

Last time #monsterdon did Rebirth of Mothra (not as a double feature) was 2022 with 122 toots. https://monsterdon-replay.gerlach.dev/rebirth-of-mothra

@Crazypedia @Configures I GUESS. The TV show was about mobilizing the public to not poke strange tentacles. Maybe England's not gonna be overrun this week.
#monsterdon #quatermass

Thanks for a lovely #Monsterdon, a rare opportunity for me in the winter 😊✨

Thanks @Taweret as always for organizing.
Thanks for a lovely stream @miru, time to browse #MutualAid

Love y'all 💖

#TheQuartermassXperiment

@jonny She got Cotton-Eye Joed.

#monsterdon #TheQuatermassExperiment

And so ends the short and slightly goopy life of the Cactopus.

Thanks as always to @Taweret for putting all of this together, and to @miru for the stream!

That's another #Monsterdon in the can!

#TheQuartermassXperiment

Well, that was fun! I'm not a fan of the old B&W sci-fi usually but this was charmingly sincere and British. With bonus evil cactus! Thanks for the laughs, everyone. #monsterdon

What we have learned is that being able to punch things and absorb their essence is a sweet superpower

Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everybody for posting! That was delightfully weird. Now onward to Rebirth of Mothra, otherwise see you all next week!

#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

well that was a film alright... i think...
Lots of #MonsterdonBingos...

Appriciating the almost [Adult Swim] intermision vibes on @miru@social.miyaku.media
#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

@kshernandez IMO: the rich techbro had her stuffed into a mental institution so she couldn't tell her story and diss him more. #Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

That's a wrap. A lettuce wrap full of gelatinous aloe octopus goodness. #Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment #Quatermass1955

They misspelled Boots! #Monsterdon #Quatermass1955 #QuatermassXperiment

THE HAMMER IS MY PENIS.

#monsterdon #TheQuatermassExperiment

@log he's trying so hard to fuck off into space

#monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

The definition of Quatermass is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. The end.

#Monsterdon

Oh this WAS actually a HAMMER film! No wonder it had shades of the 1958 "The Thing" in it. :)

#Monsterdon #TheQuartermassXperiment

"GONNA START AGAIN!" And so Quatermass, the real monster, f's off into the sky. #monsterdon

Quatermass is obviously going to skip town before they throw him into prison. #Monsterdon

GOD I LOVE SHORT MOVIES ON A SUNDAY NIGHT!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

Where is your scientific curiosity? We have to launch another rocket and see if that happens again...

What's with all the walking through shadows.

Don't tell me this is just gonna keep happening every month with a new rocket.

#Monsterdon

@MatthewTitus88 ...starts sobbing #monsterdon

ah. gonna start again. so our protagonist has learned nothing, and we are guaranteed a few sequels. the studio must have been thrilled.

#monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

Actually went, "Oh, come on!" out loud at that ending.

It's a great ending though.

#Monsterdon

Notice his hands are in his pockets. He's got those cactus hands now, doesn't he?
THE END
#Monsterdon

So how did the xperiment go, sir? #monsterdon

Weren't the blobs all over the city? How is frying one of them solving all the rest?

#monsterdon

They don't reply because they are possessed by The Alien.

#monsterdon

Is Quatermass going to fuck off into the sea now?
#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

#Monsterdon 🚀 🪐 👽 🚀 🌍 🥼 😱

oh good lord simple bible dude stop saying simple bible stuff

I wonder what it smells like in there now #Monsterdon

Well... that ending was rather abrupt.

Hope everyone enjoyed(?) it! Same time next week! #monsterdon

"no need to be alarmed, this was all actually for a top gear shoot"

"We now take you to The Benny Hill Show. Already in progress." *yakkity sax plays* #Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

Anyone else in the mood for BBQ?

#Monsterdon

Anyway, as always there's one last job before you leave the cinema:

Was THE QUATERMASS XPERIMENT (1955) the WORST #Monsterdon movie of the year?

That microwave runs a bit hot

#Monsterdon

So THAT'S what happened to the Battersea Power Station!

#Monsterdon #Quatermass1955

Boy, they drag this out.....#monsterdon

mm, roasted monster, my favorite

#monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

THAT'S what you get for not paying your Television Tax!!!!

#monsterdon

"I want every bit of current for all of London diverted to this one cable in this one location."

"Sir, that's not how..."

"I SAID EVERY BIT OF IT YOU HEAR ME! DO IT NOW!"

#Monsterdon

Switch on "all the electricity in London"!

#monsterdon

Wait, it's Mr Snuffleupagus!

#Monsterdon

I don't care how much power you divert from elsewhere, there's only so much current a local line is going to be able to deliver.

#monsterdon #TheQuatermassExperiment

'There is no cause for alarm. Police officers with loudspeakers saying "there is no cause for alarm" are no cause for alarm.'

#monsterdon

Electrician with the biggest balls in all of England #Monsterdon

others running, the inspector just Striding. his sheer rank and ego will protect him.

#monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

@MatthewTitus88 why are they wearing baby penguines on their hands? #monsterdon

I like how we started the movie with cute little UK police car bells and we’re ending it with big Westminster Abbey bells

#Monsterdon

"_I_, good sirs, do _not_ run."

#monsterdon

It's a british monster, with british animals and british dude.

Give it an american beer, and it'll perish.

#monsterdon #TheQuatermassExperiment

Convenient electric latches on the scaffolding

#monsterdon

i love that the "There is nothing to see here" is timeless ​:grr:​

#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

Everyone in London knows that “There is no cause for alarm” actually means the exact opposite, yes?

#Monsterdon

Okay, so real question: Was all TV live at this time? Like, I'm just thinking about the fact that they were broadcasting a documentary about the refurbishment of the Abbey live.

#Monsterdon

Ah shut up Cop, the Stars being to us! (unless somebody else is already there, obvs....it's a big universe)

#Monsterdon

this is the most horror I've felt during a #monsterdon maybe ever

Did they just shut down power at the Hooters?
#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

goddamn kensington levels are plummeting through the floor

#monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

The National Trust has said we can't. #Monsterdon #Quatermass1955

attention everybody, there is no cause for alarm, once we disintegrate the exponentially growing space cactus you can use electricity some more

#Monsterdon

Y’all caught the Ripley, right? #Monsterdon #Quatermass1955 #QuatermassXperiment

ah, ELECTRICITY is the solution

#monsterdon

That really is kind of a cool puppet

#Monsterdon

Quick, cover it in glue!

#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

I embarrassed myself on the train from Gatwick to Victoria Station when I pointed at the Battersea Power Station and exclaimed "Pink Floyd!" #Monsterdon

why does that mfer sharpen his pencil every time he wants to make a phone call?

#monsterdon

this poor TV crew, they're really trying their best.

#monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

lol, "A man's died. Of course we need to go on with the show. Stiff upper lip, wot wot!"

#monsterdon #TheQuatermassExperiment

#Monsterdon 🚀 🪐 👽 🚀 🌍 🥼 😱

OK it's a pretty good monster tho

@MatthewTitus88 ...so cut dead? #DadTryingToKeepUp #monsterdon

And Stevie Winwood as the Television Director...

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon okay less David Cronenberg and more just Cronenberg, no first name.

Lights out at ye olde Waffle House!

#monsterdon #TheQuartermassExperiment

The monster is fine, I'm threatened by this soundtrack.

#monsterdon

"Camera 1, when I said 'dissolve' I didn't mean it in the literal sense!" #Monsterdon

If only Philomena Cunk was the presenter at the abbey. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon YES YES!

#Monsterdon 🚀 🪐 👽 🚀 🌍 🥼 😱

ON LIVE BROADCAST

#monsterdon

@rdm Definite The Thing vibes hey #Monsterdon #Quatermass1955

I've know of this movie for decades but only now am I finding out Quatermass is pronounced as in "equator" not "quarter."
