#Monsterdon themthemthem 😱😱

Time to play footsie with science. We're all grown ups here.
#Monsterdon #Them

I too am triggered by formic acid #Monsterdon

Hey there we go! #Monsterdon

Poppers? Is poppers isn't it #monsterdon #them1954

Titular line! Everyone drink. #Monsterdon

♪ Time to make a little girl scream! ♫ #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🐜 !🐜 !🐜 ! 🔥 😱

The cops call her 'miss', but her dad calls her 'Dr', right on, dad.

THEM!

#Monsterdon

oh her womb is wandering about? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon "all she needs is some acid to the face!"

This lady sure is throwing out a bunch of fancy-sounding words talking about the kid.

#monsterdon

uh oh Pat, off on your own?

#Monsterdon

why don't we just whack her up with 20ccs of adrenaline?

#THEM #monsterdon

His real name is Dr. Timothy Leary.

#Monsterdon #Them

She said the name of the movie!

#monsterdon

"They mostly come out at night. Mostly." - This girl here

#monsterdon #them

Can you imagine the audition for this girl's part? Just stare and keep staring please.

#monsterdon

A "severe catharsis"? 🤨

Just what a traumatized child needs, a "jolt"

#Monsterdon

Another woman! We are so close to a Bechdel pass! She only needs a name!

#Monsterdon

Only a severe catharsis could jolt me, too.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon i like this mans pocket hankie with the dots

"Let's see, 1945.. that was 9 years ago."
Dang, doing that kind of math in his head, he's TOTALLY a smart professor.

#monsterdon

Science Pat is... A WOMAN?!?!?!!?!?! 😵‍💫👀😵🌋😳

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon they were CAMPING *there*?!

Coming in a bit late but I was watching it on the train so I'm on time in the movie
#Monsterdon

Dr. Pat, your dad is cramping my style!

#Monsterdon

"...the FBI has strict rules around all manner of ... footsie."

#Monsterdon #Them

@Taweret Eh, that's what makes it safer. Ancient well understood tech.

Unlike a Boeing 737 MAX.

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe "A" sexy scientist? Aren't they all sexy?

#Monsterdon

ge-NE-tic-al-ly

#THEM #monsterdon

Don't play footsie with me, as a matter of fact I resent it.

#Monsterdon

I don't want to shake hands with a snot napkin thanks #monsterdon

Misogyny into an advertisement woo

#Monsterdon

Everyone takes a moment to stare at a woman's leg. Well, that's soft porn in the 1950s I guess.
#Monsterdon

okay, i do like the way her father calls her doctor though. #monsterdon

“A friend of his who teaches at the college” decribes most of my friends and colleagues. But we never get asked about these cool cases. #Monsterdon

Maybe it's just because we've watched so many Dracula movies, but I think that guy playing the scientific specialist would make a great Van Helsing. #Monsterdon #THEM

@nev @futurebird I wonder if there's an answer in here: https://www.chemicalbook.com/msds/formic-acid.htm

#Monsterdon

@forestine@sunny.garden Can you share? We all want an ant!

#Monsterdon #Them1954

Ah jeez, we've got a dame for these mooks to ogle for the rest of the movie.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon *gasp* a lady doctor!

I'm not scared of flying but I think I would be scared of flying in a prop plane

seems too primitive idk

#monsterdon

"...I got a fever, and the only prescription is more ant bell!"

#Monsterdon #Them

Well, she's no Miss Kitty. #monsterdon

Those goggles are pretty dope

#Monsterdon

Again with the heavy clothes... how are they not sweating thru their armpits?

#Monsterdon

mmmm legs. LMAO

#monsterdon

shook hands holding a handkerchief in the shaking hand #monsterdon

Is that sound supposed to be coming from the ants? Or is it non-diegetic? #monsterdon

Oh lord, we got ourselves a sexy scientist. #Monsterdon

Edmund Gwenn will always be Santa claus as far as I'm concerned

#monsterdon

This doctor is not going to survive. Calling it now.

#monsterdon

Miracle on Area 54th Street.

#monsterdon #them

In passing, we're in Otero county, New Mexico.

"Enough formic acid to kill twenty men."

#Monsterdon #Them(1954)

ant in French is fourmi #Monsterdon

Shelock Holmes has entered the picture!
#Monsterdon #Them

"When a glimpse of ankle was something shocking" was 1951 I guess 😳

#Monsterdon

"I would like to fake illness to have sexual intercourse with that woman, grrrr"

#monsterdon

hahaha
#monsterdon

supercut of every time a guy takes his hat off and scratches his head at a real corker of a case #monsterdon

I'm Bob Graham, of the Cracker Grahams.

#THEM #monsterdon

Ants!

Formic Acid!!

These people clearly need @futurebird on the case! #Monsterdon

Formic acid- a simple acid used by many insects for defense. #monsterdon

And of course the scientist character has a pretty unmarried daughter #Monsterdon

"Enough formic acid in him to kill 20 men"

I have no idea how much that is. It sort of depends on whether you poured it on him or put it in his eyes, or up his nose, or he ingested it? Or breathed it in? There are many possibilities people!

#Monsterdon

oh lord, they sent dr doolittle. (-_-) #monsterdon

Hastily repainted plane...

#monsterdon

For working at the department of ag, he certainly is used to having his orders followed.

That girl is surprisingly good for a child actor.

#Monsterdon

Enough formic acid in him to kill 20 men!
#monsterdon

The Music:

His neck and back were broken. No word yet on his— but I digress

#Monsterdon

Missed about 15 minutes due to paperwork bullshit, when does Peter Graves fight the giant grasshoppers? #Monsterdon (mst3k reference)

"Who knew Gramps would turn out to be a Formic Acid addict."

"Damn shame."

THE END

#Monsterdon

@JoeWynne the one cop who always says “Everything points to giant mutant ants” was unfortunately on vacation #Monsterdon

Formic acid. eh? #monsterdon

🎶 Smokin' with the law men🎶

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon ok but how did grampa actually die. That was just a list of things

@diazona My eyes are growing heavy #monsterdon

20 minutes in and we've already got the FBI and the Army in on this.

#Monsterdon

Formic Acid!

#monsterdon

“Tell them Mister Ellison’s vacation looks like it’s been extended indefinitely.”

WTF, man? Be a little respectful of the poor man who just died with his family.

#Monsterdon

"Your partner died like fifteen minutes ago. Get over it."

#Monsterdon #THEM

"...I have all the ways he could have died listed here in the form of a bingo card"

#Monsterdon #Them

"He's with the FBI so watch your language" Man even the cops STFU around the feds. #Monsterdon #THEM

Every movie has someone who has a scientist friend from the university and that’s a little too convenient. #Monsterdon

I have the feeling that everyone in this movie speaks really fast. Looks like a "Gilmore Girls" episode, but without all thos ereferences.
#monsterdon
#THEM

Doubt we're going to get a Bechdel pass tonight...

#Monsterdon

"get to the verb" A+
#monsterdon

15 minutes in. Good horror short.
But the comps continue, I am shocked we haven't had coffee talk yet.
#Monsterdon #Them

That's a venture brothers reference, they're all quiz kids!

#Monsterdon

No cop is friends with a zoologist #cinemasins #monsterdon

Did he say "Quiz kids"? #Monsterdon

"FBI, so watch your language" 😂

Ah, the salad days.

#Monsterdon

@steggy We ain't found shit. #monsterdon

@SnoopJ dont you suck up all the sugar you can and puke it back on the sugar pile back at base or idk how that works #monsterdon

Ben the cop was a very well regarded character actor with his very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

#Monsterdon

Local and federal cops playing nice together in a movie? My how times change.

Someone made the District Office Otero County sign out of a piece of construction paper and taped it to the door
