They're heeeeeeere #Monsterdon

the ant just went "uuhhhuughhhh!" #monsterdon

🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜!!!
#Monsterdon

Ooh that big ant moves pretty good for a prop

#Monsterdon

poor ant, he just wanted to say (HIGH PITCH STRIDULATIONS). #monsterdon

only a good ant with a #HighPitchedStridulation can stop a bad cop with a gun

#monsterdon

Giant ant? Giant land lobster, more like. Good eatin' on one that size!
Just have to rinse out all the formic acid.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon i just carry tommy guns around it’s cool

So... would that be a... wait for it... Gi-Ant?

#Monsterdon

Are guns finally useful? Wow
#Monsterdon

Okay, for 1954, this giant ant looks pretty good.

#monsterdon

"..oh wait, just remembered that I keep a machine gun in the cop car."

#Monsterdon #Them

Twenty-eight minutes in, and we have a giant ant!

#Monsterdon

We have antsign the likes of which God has never seen #monsterdon

leave the ant alone!!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon get the antenny! get the antenny!!

I had to turn down the volume on my laptop. The high pitched noises were too much.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon If Time Team has taught me anything that stone circle had a ritual purpose.

Oh wow 1/2h in and we got a big ole monster, this is a good one compared to some of our movies!

GIANT ANT! #Monsterdon

that jacket fits her like an armor. it's still very 1940s and i love it.

#Monsterdon #THEM

#Monsterdon oh goddamn oh shitfuvk

why send your daughter to find monstrous ants alone during a sandstorm?
#monsterdon

AND WE HAVE BUG PUPPET! #Monsterdon

THEM!!!

#Monsterdon

Although whoops, terrible for running in the sand dunes. Especially with those shoes.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon that sound is super annoying tho omg. im shocked my birds havent spooked

#Monsterdon 🐜 !🐜 !🐜 ! 🔥 😱

Ah, the 'Miss' vs 'Dr' convo finally happened, but was quickly followed up by the 'why don't we talk English then we'll understand each other' BS

🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜

#Monsterdon

oh no. Watch out Pat! #monsterdon

WE HAVE ANTS BABEYYYY #monsterdon

Hey sexy science lady! don't wander off into the dust storm by yourself with all that stridulation going on!

#monsterdon

did she just brush sand off a print in the sand with her hand? how the fuck does that work? #monsterdon

uh... #monsterdon

How is this windstorm not blowing the ant prints away? Serious aeolian environment here

#Monsterdon

HI HAVE YOU SEEN MY GOGGLES I THINK I LEFT THEM HERE SOMEWHERE

#THEM #monsterdon

Them! From There!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon i am in love with these sandstorm goggles

"Oh yeah, something horrible happened here. Probably a threat to human life as a whole. Anyway, let's send the lady off on her own." #Monsterdon

is that fedora stapled to his head #Monsterdon

Nationwide panics were really in style in the 50s, so I guess that makes more sense

#Monsterdon

Wait, is he flirting with the doc?

#Monsterdon #Them(1954)

Ethel Mermacologist?
#Monsterdon #Them

In 2025, those will be the only cool glasses style.

#Monsterdon

Oh they are just pronoun fishing all over the place, aren't they? Them, it...

#Monsterdon

I wonder what formic acid smells like.

Also, ants and even giant ants are legitimately terrifying

#Monsterdon

Damn her skirt suit really is spectacular 🤩

#Monsterdon

This gag where the eggheads won't mention the word for what they're thinking about because they're not scientific 100% sure is annoying.
#monsterdon

This is the most perfunctory romance in an ant-related sci fi movie I've seen since I saw Ant Man like three months ago #monsterdon

So you can buy formic acid in a drug store?

#Monsterdon #THEM

Old doctor sounds like Inconceivable.

#monsterdon

"i want to know what 'it' is!"

"it is them, obviously!"

#Monsterdon

"THEM! THEM!" That's the name of the show! #Monsterdon

"I want to know what this It is!" That's another film. You're in THEM. #Monsterdon #THEM

so why didn't that print get covered up? #monsterdon

Come on, tell us before you get killed and we don't get to learn.

#Monsterdon

Daddy doctor has tested positive?
#Monsterdon #Them

You know they are smart because they speak Metric instead of English #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon there is no way that print in the sand would last 30 sec in this wind

"if calling me by my earned title bothers you, just call me by my first name in a time where that was a more personal, informal address" #monsterdon

Just going to make children cry and then run away what a old fart

#Monsterdon

You know he's a good scientist because he's measuring in centimeters!

#Monsterdon

"If the doctor bothers you why don't you call me Pat"

Why don't you never call me again if you can't handle my education.

#Monsterdon

CENTIMETRES??? What kind of foreign doctor IS this?! In 195x?

#monsterdon

I understand the glasses, but no masks? How they can talk without chewing sand?
#monsterdon

The Goggles, they do noth- Oh, actually they work quite well, thank you.

#monsterdon

Adjusting someone's glasses is absolutely a romantic gesture and you can't convince me otherwise. I'm here for the scientist/police officer side plot!

#Monsterdon

If the doctor bothers you, why don't you cram your goggles up your ass?

#THEM #monsterdon

Formic acid AKA Ant-acid #Monsterdon

Looking like a devo music video with these goggles #monsterdon

Trying to give that kid a shot of formic acid is a bad idea doc. Maybe start her on tequila or something weaker.
#Monsterdon #Them

The googles... they do something

#monsterdon #Them1954

"...what would turn carnivorous?"
"My father.."
"What?"

#Monsterdon #Them

Quick thinking on that Tommy gun there.

#Monsterdon

wonder if him adjusting Dr Doofus's glasses was in the script... #monsterdon

I do want to see White Sands sometime #monsterdon

Them, 1954. An early documentary about non-binary folx.

#monsterdon #them

Chirst, you have explained the simple things to eggheads. #monsterdon

A child going from 0 to 60 in nothing flat is ... bad, right

#monsterdon

Yes! Yes!! This better!!
#Monsterdon

That scream was a real jump scare for me. Was not expecting it at all.

#Monsterdon

This MSDS sheet I found <https://www.fishersci.com/store/msds?partNumber=AC147930250&productDescription=FORMIC+ACID+98%25+25ML&vendorId=VN00033901&countryCode=US&language=en> says orally in rats it's 730 mg/kg. Admittedly if you were *attacked* by ants it would be delivered, like, intravenously or whatever. So scaled up to, like, me, it would be…32 grams? #Monsterdon

those goggles whip where are my bugeyed spherical lab goggles #monsterdon

Tut tut, radiation all over, Tut Tut, 1945 tutut

#Monsterdon

The little girl's ... AUNT!
*music intensifies*
#Monsterdon #Them

@north Title drop! Woooooooo!

#monsterdon

"If the 'Doctor' bothers you.....tough shit"

#monsterdon

Pointing out EXACTLY where the nothing is

#Monsterdon

One of the most fascinating discoveries I had while researching this era of giant monster movie was realizing that anxieties about women in the workplace were as strong, if not stronger, than the anxieties about radiation/atomic warfare/foreign invaders. All of these 1950's sci-fi movies are, in part, about how one balances the concept of capable, intelligent women in the workplace with the desire to hook up with them. #monsterdon

oooh tumbleweeds #monsterdon

The goggles! They do nothing! #Monsterdon #THEM

okay then maybe some large animal tranquilisers are more the prescription then

#THEM #monsterdon

#Monsterdon tomblweed

Poor Newt, she finally snapped back to life. #monsterdon

Didn't realize the little girl was a terf #monsterdon

title drop #monsterdon.

That little girl just Nailed that shot. Iconic. #Monsterdon #THEM

nobody is really dressed for the Desert, are they?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon always the hysteria about pronouns *smdh*

"I shattered what's left of that little girl's sanity so let's get out of here" #Monsterdon
