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?"

It's a great relief knowing we got them all, and nobody's going to have to rush back to the office to fight one last monster in a climactic battle scene! #Monsterdon

Ah well. At least we got something *approaching* a denouement. Anyway, as always, one last task:
Was THE MONSTER THAT CHALLENGED THE WORLD (1957) the WORST #Monsterdon movie of the year?
God yes, snails and all
It wasn't that bad.
Poll ended at .
🤖Robot Enby Xero🤖@CactuarJoe bit slimy but not terrible. Monster was decently designed at least!
Strider Uwe 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇲🇽@CactuarJoe I did not watch it, but I was quite entertained by all the comments floating by here! 😝
Ben Zanin@CactuarJoe holy smokes, a clean sweep!
@gnomon Yeah, *nobody* thought The Monster That Challenged The World was the worst movie of the year. The people yearn for cephalopodean monsters! #Monsterdon
@CactuarJoe xenomorph logic
that's it? oh well.
Thanks to @Taweret and the usual crew for the fun. Have a good night and remember to salt your boiled mollusk.
