  1. That was a great film. And by great, I mean campy, super serious, and the best low-fi special effects I’ve seen in a long time. Thanks @Taweret for hosting and @miru for streaming!

  3. And a big thank you to @Taweret for tonight's choice of feature. You couldn't go wrong with giant atomic insects in the 50s.

    I wasn't watching this one as intently, but I believe we had no smoking and no coffee.

    Death count of several thousand, mostly off-screen.

    Annoying repetitive sound (the "Grasshopper Screech" for what seemed to be the entire last half of the film.

  6. I really enjoyed that. It was very Bert I. Gordon, very silly, and a whole lot of fun to riff on.

    Thanks for all your toots folks.

    And as always, thanks @Taweret for organizing!

    Till next time!

  9. okay, considering those are just some normal grasshoppers crawling all over a photo of a building, these effects are surprisingly convincing.

  11. The grasshopper-ey special effects are chef’s kiss. Almost as believable as 1960s Batman

  13. Here they come, coming down the street.

    They get the funniest looks from, everyone they meet.

    Hey hey they're the locusts!

  15. Those grasshoppers wanted to visit “The Merchandise Mart”. Probably want to get their kitchens redone.

  17. Fun fact: The budget of this movie was $170,000. You can't buy a single family home most places for that now.

  21. Someone should mod Rampage (1986) to replace the gorilla, lizard, and werewolf with a grasshopper, spider, and umm, puppet person.
