Another #Monsterdon is in the ice box!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's frosty adventure was packed with chills, thrills, and cabbages! We had,

* More dialogue than ten movies combined
* Double, triple, and quadruple entendres
* So many doors that are supposed to stay closed
* Intelligent carrot invasion!
* Insane production quality for a 1951 monster movie
* (edit) And coffee! So much coffee!

Still waiting for that role-reversal monster movie where a human crash-lands on an alien planet. Gimme a whole movie of a desperate astronaut trying to survive against an isolated outpost full of aliens who won't talk to him, ignore any attempts at communication, and eventually kill him using a creative and ironic hand-made deathtrap. Gimme that closing shot of his Peace Expedition badge while the aliens cheer their triumph over The Monster. #Monsterdon
