Intro for newskis: I'm a Weird Old Lady and a giant nerd. I read a lot, I work in a library, I love horror and fantasy and science fiction, I knit and spin and I have approximate knowledge of many things.
(Yes, I am also the same Harmonyfb from the bird site and Livejournal. My horror is eternal.)
Humanoid fish-alien wearing a bra & panties; text printed over the image reads: "Sorry for acting weird, I am weird and it will happen again."

Right? I look forward to it all week. :) #HorrorWatch

Carrington's approach might have worked if they hadn't shot the alien & had dogs attack him first. Too bad they went with the 'Shoot first & ask questions later" crowd approach. #HorrorWatch

I know a lot of amazingly stupid people who operate very complicated machinery, sure 'nuff. #HorrorWatch

You can tell Howard Hawks had a hand in this because the dark-haired woman is SO VERY SASSY while she's being competent. #HorrorWatch

Stop, drop, and roll, Mr. Alien Carrot!

(Also: good job burning down part of the only shelter saving you from an icy death.) #HorrorWatch

Why is it always "a horrible army" with you guys? Why not "he came here to start a family"? #HorrorWatch

"I can see by your faces that you don't believe me"

No, Doctor, we just can't believe you were so fucking stupid as to do this without oversight. #HorrorWatch

I mean, I'd probably hide it from idiot army guys, too, but I'd definitely have locked the door instead of turning my back to it. #HorrorWatch

Nobel Winner clearly went to the North Pole so he could be Ace in peace, only to have horny pilots invade. #HorrorWatch

Love how the idiot guys are stampeding around, while the Nerds handily solve the mystery. #HorrorWatch

"Looks like a lynching party" - UGH. How cheery he sounds about it, too. I hate the '50s. #HorrorWatch

"You've won a Nobel prize, but I'm gonna stop you so I can tell you my dumbass opinion." -- poorly educated newspaperman. #HorrorWatch

And now he's all tied up while she plys him with drinks? This film is a lot kinkier than I remember. #HorrorWatch

...Is it just me, or was that the flirtiest exchange ever? "You were right"/No, YOU were". #SubtextBaby #HorrorWatch

Once again, the natives are so much smarter - the Inuit said, "You dug up some weird-ass man in the ice? NOPE." #HorrorWatch

I mean...my husband did his junior college project on the science of blowing shit up...#HorrorWatch

Why are all the actors doing that stilted-loud-lecture-voice? It was all too common in the '50s, and I don't know why. It's like they all forgot how to act. #HorrorWatch

Those coats are wholly inadequate to Alaska winter. Oh, except for the gal on the dogsled, who's at least pretending to wear an appropriate coat.

And now they're making a circle while the soundtrack lets you know that you're supposed to be skeered. 🤣 #HorrorWatch

Film scientists: Blah, Blah, we're so very FANCY with our FANCY slide viewer and our SUPER FANCY CAMERAS, you wouldn't understand, Captain.

What I chiefly remember about this film was the anti-science undercurrents. #HorrorWatch

Look at 'em, smoking in the cockpit - that's why they all look decades older than they are. #HorrorWatch

The guy playing the Captain? Is 34 years old. He looks at least 45. Everytime I watch one of these old movies, I give thanks for better skin care and sunscreen. #HorrorWatch

Geez louise, the casual chauvinism. Ewwwww. #HorrorWatch

Really? It needs a sign? How many military clubs could there be in 1950's Anchorage? #HorrorWatch

I had no idea Howard Hawks wrote and directed this (and produced it, apparently.) I assume he fell in love with the pretty scary story it's based on. #HorrorWatch
