"Now wait a minute! I need to display to the audience what a hardass I am!" #Monsterdon
"Yes mom, that's right. Uh huh. Yeah, I'll be screaming alone in a dark room while dramatically lit. Mm hmm. Yeah, third act. Yes, they COULD hire more women, mom, but it's the fifties." #Monsterdon
This is a movie that feels like it should have Raymond Burr in it, y'know? #Monsterdon
Salton sea spooge :/ #Monsterdon

"It's Hollister."

#Monsterdon

"You get home early."

No, Mom, I'm gonna FUCK ALL NIGHT LONG. #Monsterdon

...The guy's name is Mort. Now THAT'S a little on the nose. You wanna start the countdown to his death or should I? #Monsterdon
The giant clams are gonna run into the She-Creature coming the other direction. #Monsterdon

Oo, Blake got shrimped! #Monsterdon
This is gonna be an Octaman situation where the scientists walk away with the creature's babies and then get mystified that it follows them home. #Monsterdon
He's shrimp food, ma'am. #Monsterdon
On the other hand, we now have a good baseline for this movie -- the creature is NOT better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. #Monsterdon

"Would you like a cigarette?"

They're toasted! Barely any asbestos! #Monsterdon

"What did your husband do?"
