  1. Watching #InvadersFromMars tonight on #Svengoolie from 1950s. All the stock military tank footage in this film looks likes the Russians ground invasion of Ukraine.

  2. The bare white walls in the police station, the high and low angles… I'm much in awe of this cinematography. #svengoolie #invadersfrommars

  3. Did this kid just pronounce Orion as Or-REE-on and Rigel with a hard G? #Svengoolie #InvadersFromMars

  4. That’s it for this week’s #Monsterdon. Loads of fun. It was great to compare this version of #InvadersFromMars to the original. There were aspects I liked from both, but I definitely liked the Martian creature effects in this one.

    Thanks, @Taweret, for hosting and, @cheribaker, for the bingo card, and everyone else for the lulz!

  5. I guess I can conclude by saying that was whelming.

  6. No movie should end with a kid walking in on his parents, screaming.

  7. Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

    Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

    Tonight's feature, #InvadersFromMars is from 1986, and is a remake of the original 1953 film. We not only had full color, and big hair, but also:
    - Coffee with Tic Tacs!
    - Frog week!
    - Original movie fence, hill, and path! You know the one.
    - Mobile taxidermy van!
    - A brain alien that looks like a mash up of ET and a toad, but in a good way!
    - Brain stem implants!
    - Great puppetry and practical effects!
    - Penny powered ray gun!

  8. Somebody seriously needs to get this kid a stuffed animal or something. Hugging a bag of pennies isn't right.

  9. So, if they remake this movie every 30 years or so, it seems we are overdue.

  10. I had no idea Louise Fletcher was so into sci-fi. She also starred in Strange Invaders (1983) along with Nancy Allen and Wallace Shawn.

  12. "...damn it, tank attack isn't covered by our house insurance."

  13. "...Marines have no qualms about killing Martians!"
    "That's ... an odd thing to say?"

  14. Just added to our online historical archives: the #nwc9 (1986) pocket program and program book!

    Of note: this was the mid-80s, before the big media cons, and SF/F cons were an important outlet for studios promoting their upcoming films.

    For example, one of the pros and panelists that year? #JimHenson!

    The featured movie previews?
    #Labyrinth, #InvadersFromMars, #PoltergeistII, and #HowardtheDuck!

    Oh, to have been in the room when Henson himself previewed Labyrinth….
