What a deadpan narrator. Earthquake and his tone barely changes. No excitement.

Don't remember the Salton Sea being quite that ... large.

Talking about a parachute tester ... "He's gotta be here - I saw him hit!"

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

That poster on the wall has some serious legs.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

There's a pipe rack on the desk ... there's hope for smoking!

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

... and a MASSIVE ashtray on the secretary's desk!

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

Hollister has gone all bug-eyed! One also assumes he's dead.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

I'm a doctor. You can tell from the pens in the pocket of my lab coat.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

"Would you like to hold ny ladybug?"

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

We are now in the crawling on the floor looking for a dropped ladybug portion of the film.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

The pipe is in the mouth ... the matchbox is out and open ... AND THE PIPE IS LIT! We have smoking!

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

Ring bell for the County Morgue.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

The blood was drained from the body through a puncture wound.

And, "scared to death" is the cause of death for the second one.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

Ham sandwiches being served in the morgue!

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

"I'd like to talk to you about your beach."

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

A simple moonlight swim. Little did they know ...

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

More radioactive monster spunk!

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

And, we have coffee served to a diver!

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

One diver keeps gaining and losing extra weight belts.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

There's a giant weather balloon / egg on the floor of the Salton Sea. I think I'll poke at it.

And we finally see the creature!

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

(just an aside - those aren't mikes on the divers, it wouldn't sound like that anyway, and there's no kelp growing in the Salton Sea.)

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

And the diver goes bug-eyed as the creature sucks the blood from his neck!

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

Spunk monster spunking off the port bow!

Stick to the eye!

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

To make sure it's dead, we're going to do the equivalent of carpet bombing with depth charges.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

The creature doesn't look anything like that snail.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

I'm sorry, I zoned out with all the talking heads.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

We've now been told the federal bank stakeout story twice.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

Wait, did we just make a quick trip across the border for dinner?

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

So, is this pen going to be important later? We've spent a fair amount of screen time on it.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

I think Mary Jane's a goner. Ooops, so's her date. Death count now eight.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

Now we're speculating about underground rivers big enough for the spunk monsters.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

Walking cadaver for a museum curator.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

Yep, put that newspaper down over the ashtray. No such thing as a fire risk.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

He forgot his shotgun - HE'S A GONER!

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

Must not have been the first take - big wet spot on his jacket before the spunk monster moves in for a snack.

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957

Wow, that's a lot of spunk in that canal!

#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957
