#Monsterdon

We've had a number of #monsterdon movies take place in New Mexico, haven't we?

@wohali i keep thinking they're saying "tencent" #monsterdon

Drank his breakfast? What's wrong with coffee for breakfast?

#Monsterdon #THEM

I too like dolls with the top of their head chewed off.

#Monsterdon #Them(1954)

#monsterdon Obviously this is a lost prequel/followup to the Coleman Francis trilogy. The Hobbit to it's LoTR.

The little girl is awestruck with the wonder of the giant ants!

#monsterdon

10-4 hadn’t been invented yet FYI. #Monsterdon

nice shots of the plane flying. looks like the real thing!
#monsterdon

"Who do you belong to?"

Eek. That's creepy.

#Monsterdon

Oh no. The child in the movie is already bored of the movie. We're in trouble aren't we?

#Monsterdon #them1954

That girl knows the game. Do NOT talk to police.

#Monsterdon

This girl has seen some shit.

#Monsterdon

This evening's #monsterdon starts with a very special cameo:

"HEY KIDS IT'S PETEY THE PLANE: Always remember don't pour acid in other peoples parachutes BYE BYE"

little girl knows not to talk to cops #monsterdon

That kid and that baby doll have both seen some s**t. #Monsterdon #THEM

Little girl has a thousand yard stare. That's not ominous surely. Maybe she's a Vietnam vet?

#Monsterdon #Them1954

I tend to associate mysterious abandoned children with a different kind of movie.

#monsterdon

Creepy kid alert #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon of course, who else could it be on a Sunday night?

🐜 EUSOCIAL TRIVIA 🐜

#THEM1954

Studio executives cut the budget midstream. The original movie was supposed to be in color and in 3D. You will see vestiges of color in the titles and of 3D planning in the film.

Rotten Tomatoes score: 93% (2021)

Speed limit enforced by aircraft, apparently.

#monsterdon #Them1954

I like a soundtrack that gives its all from the get-go

#monsterdon

So, Monsterdon is a fediverse movie watch together event that starts at 9PM EST every Sunday. We queue up the movie on whatever streaming service or preferred media format, and at 9PM every pushes play at the same time and we start commenting and heckling along with the movie. :muppets_waldorf: :muppets_statler: It helps to subscribe to the #monsterdon hashtag so you'll get all posts of people participating.
The movies are picked every Monday under the # MonsterdonAlert with a vote. These events are organized by @Taweret(@)octodon.social

This week we're watching : Them!
Here's a link to watch along too: https://tubitv.com/movies/100028504/them?start=true&tracking=google-feed&utm_source=google-feed
