This week's #Monsterdon movie is CREATURE WITH THE ATOM BRAIN (1955), by a goddamn landslide. It's about a Nazi creating atomic zombies to help a mobster regain power? That actually sounds kind of cool, I wonder how they'll flub it. Long talky scenes? Big slabs of silence? Misogyny? All this and more, I have no doubt.

It's free on Tubi and YouTube and there's a version on Archive.org for downloadin': https://archive.org/details/horror-films-of-the-1950s/1955-06-22+-+Creature+with+the+Atom+Brain+(1955).mp4

i realised that in my section checklist for tonight's #monsterdon i accused the makers of this film of story theft and i want to apologise as there was no story so therefore there could be no theft

Was deeply disappointed.

@twaret Could we consider throwing Pacific Rim into the mix for next week? It's got monsters and action and a few good actors. It's actually a pretty good film.

We were promised a pretty sharp jacket/dickey combination and the film fell short.

I was a little confused about Gretchen praying to the wall sconce.

I assume she was with one of the anti-magnetic lighting cults all along?

"Produced on location"?????

Welp, thanks, @Taweret and Monsterdon friends. That movie would not have been watchable without you all. 💞 💞 💞

I think we can all agree that the real hero of the story was the floral centrepiece. It provided the backbone to the plot, and was solid all the way through.

@moira there are some movies that i don't like, and there are movies that don't make sense, but this was a movie that contained so little anything that i have no emotion about it at all

This "Devil Girl from Mars" that Tubi is suggesting next seems a lot more exciting. #monsterdon

Genuinely awestruck at the bravery of them to make the spaceship literally just an overhead light fixture. That was... well, I think it was a movie. Goodnight, #monsterdon!
