Dr Turtleneck can't possibly imagine that Super Carrots would be come here to do us harm #Monsterdon

"you better take a swing at my chin" this kink in this movie is off the hook #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Roasted carrots, anyone? Actually more carrots flambeé.

I hope the alien vampire is a hemophiliac like it should be #monsterdon

But of course, let grow some more vampiric super carrots #Monsterdon

no enemies in science except that bastard dr. jakob and the rest of that collection of HACKS calling themselves a RESEARCH TEAM #monsterdon

#Monsterdon “What do you do with a vegetable?” “Boil it.” I think we have a Kill It With Fire. 🔥

@Taweret This is why you aren't a Scientist. #monsterdon

I know! Kill it with fire! #Monsterdon

The plant throbbing like a heart is pretty awesome. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Got to get a picture of the vampire carrot carnage. My Pullitzer awaits!

we should probably not grow additional monsters i feel like

#monsterdon

What does it sound like, doctor wilson?
Like a theremin playing! #monsterdon

notice how they grow as sets of pulsating balls. it is only by becoming horny that they were able to evolve past horny #monsterdon

Can't you just imagine John Carpenter watching this and thinking "yeah my sfx would be better" #Monsterdon

"Great. They're rickrolling me. Trolls from outer space." #monsterdon

"Would you care to listen to them?" *uptown funk starts to play* #Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

alien micro greens
#monsterdon

are - are we growing more monsters? really?

#monsterdon

@randy_s Excellent name!!

#Monsterdon
#TheThingFromAnotherWorld

BELL PEPPERS from the NINTH DIMENSION #Monsterdon

Carrington needs a Snickers and a nap. And an ethics review. #monsterdon

plants that drink blood

#monsterdon #MonsterdonScience #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

they're pearing up, now we're really in trouble #monsterdon

"I see by your faces you don't believe me. Well, here's a salad I prepared earlier!" #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “Your opinion has not been asked.” Scientist hubris, big theme in the 1950s for some reason. ☢️

I would just like to point out that weapons ARE science. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

How caffienated is the blood the vampire carrot will be enjoying?

Well, it's not enough! Make more coffee!

Genuinely laughed out loud when Turtleneck facepalmed on hearing about planting the alien seeds #Monsterdon

"If you find it, remember it's a Stranger in a Strange Land."
Uh title drop... only wrong movie.
#Monsterdon #ThingFromAnotherWorld

And Dr Turtleneck not at all concerned by his dead colleagues. #Monsterdon

Pipes ✅ #Monsterdon Bingo

@yatsu Look, someone has to. #monsterdon

"Only Science can conquer him" And THAT'S your scientist? You guys are totally hosed. #Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

did the doctor call them here to summarize at them??? #monsterdon

@sleet01 Are you getting distracted by my garden and nature posts when you should be focusing on #Monsterdon? Are you ADHD like me or something?

"Only science can overpower it." AND MY AXE
#Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

yes sir, we've been watching this movie too, speed it up with your summary please. #monsterdon

you're the only field of cabbages in this room doctor turtleneck #monsterdon

the longer the pause, the graver the news #monsterdon

I want all these people to get dropped directly into John Carpenter's The Thing with zero preparation #monsterdon

Quick! Fire your gun at the metal door while we stand right in front of it!!

#Monsterdon

What do you think of my #triffid farm? #monsterdon

i may not have authority, but my boy toy has a gun, so let's get marching. #monsterdon

@flowerpot me too :( #monsterdon

#monsterdon Almost as good as the Octabego jump scare!

"Stay where you are and board the doors"
"...you cant tell us what to do!"
#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe oi! #monsterdon

Dang. I missed it. All I saw was an arm.
#Monsterdon

Where the fuck are you Festus? !#Monsterdon

I’m not putting odds on the survival of anyone wearing a double-breasted suit jacket…at the North Pole

#Monsterdon

Yes. Let us all touch the severed alien limb. Good thing they are facing a dirty vegetable man and not a cellular changeling.
#Monsterdon #ThingFromAnotherWorld

ah yes just let me fire directly into the metal door inches away from us #monsterdon

And _that_ is why the sign says KEEP DOOR CLOSED.

#Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

I think that counts as both JUMP SCARE and SHOOT THE MONSTER! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon The VAMPIRE CARROTS are WAILING.

Lumber at the North Pole? #monsterdon

okay nice jump scare #monsterdon

CANDYGRAM! #Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

@bunnyhero I guess it’s time I got to the root of the problem. (waggles eyebrows) #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

They are so casual about the crazy stuff happening and the dead dog.

The Thing from Another World, in the greenhouse, with a wrench! #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe I'm thinking it might grow back the rest of its alien body, that's all #monsterdon

@Zerofactorial probably anesthetized? #monsterdon

better warn everyone else in the camp, radar #monsterdon

Baby Super Vampire Carrots! :blobaww: #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Ohh, internal tensions have begun to rise. Carrington is realizing he was, you know, wrong, but he can’t bring himself to say it.

So he PLANTED and BLOOD-WATERED the vampire carrot?!?

Doggies... :(
#Monsterdon #ThingFromAnotherWorld

Okay movies are usually better the more dogs put in it, but if they keep getting eaten and left out in the cold it kind of cancels that out ​:dragnsad:​

#Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

Is that an actual dead dog in this film? Or a very well trained stunt dog? #monsterdon

I like watching Carpenter's "The Thing" in the middle of summer because it's nice to be reminded of what cold is. It's a warm night here and I need to get more ice cubes for my drink! #Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial It's secure, they've got it stowed in a

hand bag

:D #Monsterdon

now i'm imagining the reporter character being replaced by groucho marx #monsterdon

"...we poked in every snow bank"
"but did you find anything?"

#Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

#monsterdon

what could be more natural for an intellectual carrot than draining a dog?

#monsterdon

While all these military types are roaming around, what's going on back in the room with the alien hand now? #monsterdon

No! Not poochie!
#Monsterdon

NOOOOOOO PUPPER!!!! #monsterdon #thethingfromanotherworld

sled dog... has become dead dog #monsterdon

JESUS the soundtrack's finally awake I guess @_@ #Monsterdon

Plant sap??? I've seen Matango I know how this shit is gonna go down. (yes i know fungi aren't plants) #Monsterdon

fell out like from a skyrim display case #monsterdon

poor doggos #monsterdon

#Monsterdon “I want to get a picture!” Of the dead bodies or the homicidal monster?

Jeez, the alien arrives and the first thing it does is plant seeds? Even the monster is horny! #Monsterdon

It's kind of amazing how much of this movie revolves around the close observation of dudes who just really think a lot about plants #Monsterdon

"...see how it glistens in the light"
"oh my!"

#Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

Everybody's too busy talking over each other to read the sign that says KEEP DOOR CLOSED. 😐 #monsterdon

the plant man sapped all over it #monsterdon

@moira At least they have a sign now #monsterdon

Re: the dogs, here's a fun bit from Matthew Henson's _A Negro Explorer at the North Pole_ (1912), chapter 5 (https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/20923). "The brute makes a dive, and you make a flop, you grab the nearest thing grabable—ear, leg, or bunch of hair—and do your best to catch his throat, after which, everything is easy."

I was expecting something about well-trained, disciplined sled dogs and then I read this and was like like "man, these dogs don't…sound…domesticated…???" #Monsterdon

"Bunch of butterfingers" You tell em reporter guy. #Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

On second thought, I can see why they split large groups in movies. There's just way too many people walking around

#Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

#Monsterdon Reading the radio arguments out loud… and in stumbles an injured man. “Bolt your doors.” Doors are very important in this film.

CLOSE THE DOOR! #monsterdon

Mac, Bob, search for the heating device here #monsterdon

It's a plant. Look in the goshdarn soil.
#Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

I take it back, it's not a bleepometer, it's a Steveometer. There's a LOT of Steves in that hallway. #Monsterdon
