#Monsterdon that girl knows that sound uh oh

Those could be formic acid burns on her face.

#Monsterdon #them1954

They taught us in first air courses that to help someone who is in shock to give them a blanket

#monsterdon

@strangefour And this one's supposed to be good

#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

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.

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

#monsterdon

"Who do you belong to?"

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"

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

little girl knows not to talk to cops #monsterdon

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

🐜 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
