#Monsterdon our space carrot that is also a humanoid arm has consumed dog blood and is now alive again.

ah damn the archive.org colorized video has about 5 minutes cut including the date scene #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Super-carrot alien! Cousin to the triffids!

@randy_s "day three, the haven't suspected a thing yet" #monsterdon

Why aren't all #monsterdon movies this way?

#Monsterdon pretty sure I wouldn't have put "super carrot" on a bingo card.

Don't whistle! You'll piss off the alien.
#monsterdon

The snappy patter and the fast pace are part of why I think this is actually a good movie .... #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon after defrosting the alien guy goes outside and gets in a fight with some dogs, who eat one of his arms.

Space mummy guy is having a hell of day. This movie is like a PSA for why you shouldn't drunk drive your flying saucer; you might end up on a primitive planet, get your spaceship blown up, and then get shot and eaten by dogs.

The simple cosmic horror of discovering the size and shape of A Thing From Another World that has crashed on Earth is maybe the best image from this movie. It could be played slower and bigger but the long shot sells the alien horror resting under their feet really well.
#Monsterdon #ThingFromAnotherWorld

"What are you getting pretty for you'll never look good to me." That's a great line. This dialog is delivered like they all just finished a screwball stage comedy. #Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

#Monsterdon “He’s having kittens.” Are they from the Holy Cat?

LAND SHARK!
Candygam?
#Monsterdon #ThingFromAnotherWorld

oh they do understand there might be alien germs?

and they still brought the frozen alien inside with them

okay

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Gotta follow proper military protocol when chipping aliens out of the ice.

"...there are organisms that survive after death"
"you mean vampires?"

#Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

the guy standing offscreen throwing soap flakes on them is clearly getting paid by the hour #monsterdon

Bring in one of the females and the heat generated will melt that ice in no time #monsterdon

"Already pulled one boner out there on the ice" The hits keep coming. #Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

YOU PULLED A WHAT OUT OF THE ICE? #Monsterdon

These whining dogs sound just like Lily, so i keep turning to check on her #monsterdon

"Oh. Oh that one." This is honestly very charming banter, this movie does a really good job setting its characters in place as *people*, which is a requirement for good horror! #Monsterdon

holy cats #monsterdon

@Taweret First Contact: Jackass Edition #Monsterdon

Dog petting scene on plane 10/10.
#Monsterdon

Air Force Magazine .. the original Sky Mall

#Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

@yatsu DoesTheDogDie.com was made for movies like this. #Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

they're digging up captain america! #monsterdon

@Taweret they seem to immediately become aware of the importance of not blowing up the UFO right after blowing up the UFO #monsterdon

#Monsterdon the dogs are totally chill while they're all ducking

like maybe dynamite shouldn't have been the very first thing we tried

#monsterdon

Bomb the radiation away, sure. #monsterdon

The dogs are all like, "you humans are weird"

#Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

“A million years of history are in that ice”.
And then they blew it up.
#Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

Dogs are like "We're not being paid enough for this." #Monsterdon

This is quite literally standard procedure, no worries fellas #Monsterdon

@blogdiva almost perfect! #monsterdon

Is "pain in the ass reporter" a bingo card spot? It would make a good bingo card spot #Monsterdon

what on earth is going on in this scene #monsterdon

the colourized flying saucer fin looks like the anodized turquoise aluminum of an ipod mini #Monsterdon

Snow puppers~~
Good luck doggos.
#Monsterdon #ThingFromAnotherWorld

Okay, everybody put your left foot in... #monsterdon

The guys all in a circle is a great shot and a great moment. Carpenter used some of that footage for the remake. #Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

@blogdiva I don't know yet but it's likely they'll both scream a lot #Monsterdon

what if that fin is actually a giant shark #monsterdon

Jet fuel can't melt snow wake up sheeple #monsterdon

Whoops, ice shark #Monsterdon

"Holy cats!" No, dog dog dog dog dog dog dog dog dog dog dog dog dog dog dog dog! Not cats. #monsterdon

who's the designated Black guy in this movie? the guy with the black leather apron?

#Monsterdon

@blogdiva hmm which one will have to survive to be the unlikely and unnecessary love interest in the end hmmmmmmm #monsterdon

@Taweret@octodon.social
Added insulation for the colder climate was a bonus #Monsterdon

#monsterdon feels like this movie was uploaded in 1.5 speed

back in the plane with the coffee dogs #monsterdon

Okay #monsterdon i am late but here!

One of the actors had a problem with the overlapping dialogue. Rare for these early films.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon So it isn't a meteor? Well that's obvious (Santa has his own personal meteor deflector after all)

highly mixed political messages from the costume department #monsterdon

why are there like three conversations going on at once where nobody is listening to anybody #monsterdon

Does dictation count as "narration" for bingo? :blobfoxcrylaugh: #Monsterdon

TIL: a meteor might never move upwards in the athmosphere #monsterdon

if he had little circular glasses he he'd look like trotsky also #monsterdon

"it is for the SORT of airPLANE we KNOW, captain" #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Someone spent time picking out all of the women's sweaters for this movie. A lot of time.

Handsy.

see the Science dot?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon “Deviation continues.” Even more interesting.

This scientist is definitely not The Master and this is definitely not a Doctor Who plot #monsterdon

#monsterdon Well they do call me "Octaman"

#Monsterdon Arriving in the indoor science village, we meet some characters who talk as fast as the other characters, including the Pointy Boobed Lady who trades snark with an air force guy. She keeps saying his name as "Pat", which has the side effect of making me learn the name of a character in this movie.

"Don't you remember?"

"No, god, I was so drunk"

honestly nothing is more attractive than blackout binge drinking

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

please, it's Mr Professor

Dr Professor is my father

#monsterdon

Did they just leave the dog on the plane?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon While circling the tiny arctic scientist village, one of the airplane guys says "Taxpayers ought to see this!"

Like... see what bro... its just a cluster of buildings in the snow?

Maybe he meant "Taxpayers ought to see this so we can get a secret science base with more buildings"?

#Monsterdon “Or would you rather have me sing to you?” Oh, sing out!

I can already tell I'm gonna have trouble telling these guys apart. "Who's the alien?" "Uh, maybe the white guy with dark hair? Or the white guy with dark hair. Oh, it could be the white guy with dark hair AND GLASSES!" #Monsterdon

Ooh, puppers! Time to check doesthedogdie.com. I don't want a repeat of the triffid incident.

#Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

WERE YOU BORN IN A BARN ON THE SOUTH POLE? #Monsterdon

i was lucky enough to see this on the big screen a few years ago #Monsterdon

"just got a queer message from up north"
this is gonna be a much different type of movie than i thought. (^_^)
#monsterdon

honestly tho' what kind of far northern house has no airlock front porch? who built this, floridians? #monsterdon

hell yeah #monsterdon

OK it's #monsterdon time, and as usual we start the movie greeted by a roomful of very 1950's guys talking like they are on the radio

DIMITRI TIOMKIN! One of the advantages of being in charge of the soundtrack is you can make it scream when your name shows up :P #Monsterdon

thats actually a cool title card for back then

#monsterdon

@blogdiva I hope that's how it works out #monsterdon

#MonsterdonAlert

#monsterdon

GO GO GO!!

just mashed play on this week's #monsterdon, The Thing from Another World (1951)

@paco "One lump or twooo?!...🎶" #WrongSong #Monsterdon

@otheorange_tag @forestine Get it, CARROT, ROOT, it's a JOKE, SON :D #Monsterdon

@sean

The director and writers of the movie definitely had a background in stage production. The fast banter and people talking over each other is like the opening scenes of many a great stage play.

Too bad this wasn't a great stage play but a cheesy movie.

#monsterdon So on further examination it appears some people were further along in the movie than others due to a deleted scene involving James Arness in a crop-top "babyslut" tee shirt and camo capris pants. Apologies to those who missed that scene in their viewings, the persons responsible have been tied to a chair.

Why this wasn't callved "Broke Dingk Mouvntanstein" I'll never know! #Monsterdon

@Beltliner403 put it in a saucer, send it flying
put it in a saucer, send it flying
put it in a saucer, send it flying
off with Irwin Allen! #monsterdon

@forestine @CactuarJoe Starts rooting for the carrot AGAIN #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

No, I'm not bitter over how anti-science this movie was, why? :P #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe and one of the aliens should talk to him very slowly and loudly like the scientist in this one. #monsterdon
