Who knew boobs were so good for holding cameras?

@MylesRyden I thought that's our job 😛

#Monsterdon

I hope he does get better bites. Of him. By the monster.

#Monsterdon 👮 👨‍⚕️ 🏊‍♀️ 🐉 😱

remember this was before sunscreen (tank top)

Should we have an orgy, or some partner swapping, or a little gay exploration? Nah, too much work

#Monsterdon

I'd like the men in this party to die already. strong start. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Death for the red shirt dude. Now.

Can't stomach this one, #monsterdon friends. Til next time. 🫡

Can you imagine being married to either of these two guys?

#monsterdon

I just keep thinking about how terrible the mosquitos must be out there.

#Monsterdon #Bog

I can't decide who I want to die first #monsterdon

In addition to Gloria DeHaven, accomplished actors Aldo Ray, Marshall Thompson, and Leo Gordon play it totally straight here, creating a unique conflict against the extremely low budget rubber monster suit production.

#Bog

YOU CAN EXPLAIN HOW YOU LEFT PORT WITHOUT A FULL COMPLEMENT OF BROWN SLEEPING BAGS?!

What is this, Incel's Camping Vacation?

#Monsterdon

I love how it is clearly daylight behind them
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon you know what I hate? When people throw away whole cigarettes. I haven't smoked in years, and it still bugs the hell outta me lol

bog: bozos with booze in the boonies

#monsterdon

When the movie is so bad, the director of cinematography uses a pseudonym. #monsterdon

If this were an 90s film, an axe mooderer would show up right now

#monsterdon

I hope these guys get eaten by an alligator

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

"Hey look. Somebody left us a boat." That's called 'stealing', but whatever. #monsterdon

There is probably a really interesting story as to why this movie is listed as 1979, but released in 1984.

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

“Somebody left us a boat!”

Pretty sure that’s not how boats work. This isn’t a farming sim game, people.

#Monsterdon

I hope whatever the monster is it eats all of these people

#Monsterdon

Is that the only tent they set up for a group of four?

#Monsterdon

So much 70s cinema looks like home movie footage of people who ended up getting serial killed

#Monsterdon

Please enjoy Bog (1979) responsibly

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

OH HEY FREE BOAT

everyone remembers that summer they listened to the Love Theme from Bog at makeout point #Monsterdon

According to IMDB, the cinematographer was Jack Willoughby who wanted to be credited as Wings? Although, with a picture this blurry a pseudonym might have been the best choice #Monsterdon

The lake in Bog is a crummier lake than the one in Frogs. C+ lake

#monsterdon

Was that a who is buried in Grant's Tomb reference?

#Monsterdon

Budweiser! And, what a 'stash.

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

They're not even waiting for the pretense of fishing to start with the drink.

#monsterdon #bog

"Aww man, look at that bog, YES!!!"

Gloria DeHaven was in Summer Stock with Judy Garland, among other classic musicals.

👀 She brings actual acting ability to TWO ROLES in #Bog, her only monster movie. Stay alert!

The Call Of The Mild (and Beige) #monsterdon

This is all stolen land...

#Monsterdon

One day our descendents will use films like this to show how unbelievably green the earth was.

Probably the only good use for this film.

#Monsterdon

sound designed for the drive in window speaker lol

#Monsterdon
#bog1979

How this movie probably came about. Some guy over hears in a bar "so they shut down the construction site, but there's still 3 boxes of dynamite sitting up there...." #monsterdon

Love Theme from Bog by The Captain and Teneille

#monsterdon

This intro brought to us by a tourism commission like in Yeti? Though I like this song less.

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

#monsterdon Excellent. 1979 Gay Porn Music. Wheeee

@wohali No way in hell. Way too sharp.

#monsterdon #Bog1979

Profoundly 70s opening music with no real connection to the movie GO

#monsterdon #bog

how do you guest star in a movie? was BOG a long-running serial? #monsterdon

Dang this girl really loves bogs a lot that she wrote a love song for one
#monsterdon

All right! The frogs got him already!

#monsterdon #frongwrogs

My bingo card really needed "bad theme song" on it.

Notice the 70s AM radio wanna be hit.

i wonder when that loon sound was recorded

oh my god this music, very easy listening #Monsterdon

Starting off strong with a Hinterland Who's Who loon call, there.

#monsterdon

@Lazarou got it! #Monsterdon

Why bring a tackle box if you’re just gonna… anyway he’s dead.

#Monsterdon

Good. #Monsterdon

DON'T BLOW UP THE BOG YOU DIPSHIT

#monsterdon #bog

I presume the monster is a giant cranberry
#monsterdon

awoo-ooo

#Monsterdon

oh boy a nature documentary #monsterdon

#Monsterdon man fishing with dynamite? there's gonna be some environmental metaphors here?

I have zero memory of this. Not even the title. And it came out when I was a jr in HS. #monsterdon

@nev Going to mooch over here tonight, thank you!

(I started ~1 min early, thanks to whomever warned about the archive.org version having the animation at the start)

#Monsterdon

Looking boggy #monsterdon

Yep, there's a bog in this #Monsterdon

This looks cheerful.
#monsterdon

back into the bog

#monsterdon

It was a dark and smudgy film print ...

#Monsterdon #Bog

5,4,3,2,1 .... GO GO GO

Git your sorry asses into that Bog (1979) NOW!!

#monsterdon

@paco the B in B-movie stands for BOG

#Monsterdon

…and the monster fucked off into the B

#monsterdon #bog1979

Capture of the BOG monster and the for-some-reason death of Bog Witch Adrianna

#Monsterdon

It took us what felt like a whole year to finally get to it. But Bog was worth it.

Or was it

?

#Monsterdon #Bog

@UnlikelyLass It is one of the cheapest simple monster costumes, but damn if it doesn't work. Ro-man the Robot Monster is a classic.

#monsterdon #bog

TIL that small town medical examiners in Wisconsin had labs capable of securing a 10 foot gill monster. Well attempt to, ... Anyway the boys say it's time for a drink and the medical examiner has an abnormally large syringe to try out.

Tusky is making all my replies to my own posts unlisted, even if the original and subsequent posts are public. I don't mind that in most instances, but it was a huge problem tonight for #monsterdon. I can't seem to find that in the settings either.

also, glacial lakes are awesome, you can impress your significant other with science facts, and the cops just get eaten by monsters while the local volunteer fire department saves the day #monsterdon

I was writing this off with the two bickering couples and the strange local guy. But it picked up once we got to the science couple, the bog witch, and the weird creature speculations. #Monsterdon

For those of you scrolling through your timeline, you're about to hit a big mass of Monsterdon postings about Bog (1979).

Should you not wish to read through them, here's how to filter them out, at least on the web browser:
1) right click on the gears & open in a new tab
2) choose "Filters" then "Add New Filter"
3) give the filter a title, check all boxes under contexts, choose hide completely and put "#Monsterdon" in the keyword box.
4) Click on "Save New Filter"

... and you're done.

I actually fished in Minocqua, Wisconsin earlier in the 70's. So that was a strangely familiar setting. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Bog seemed to be about competent older people, middle aged? I don’t know. But all the young people kept dying and the people who made things happen, did the science, solved the problem and had a sweet lil romance were “mature”.

We just saw a fucking bear IRL #monsterdon

Bog was also on Best of the Worst https://youtu.be/At1EOyY5Hpo?si=hxffpAuJwhw-1wYy&t=228 #monsterdon

@strangefour

A palate cleanser, thank goodness

#Monsterdon

well that was stupid but kinda fun

good job team

another movie successfully launched into space

and thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting

#monsterdon #Bog1979

@paco @Configures That’s what I thought. I mean, it’s possible he survived that. He’d need an ambulance, though.

#Monsterdon

Thank goodness - Gary's crew of two showed up. For a minute there I thought that they were in trouble.

#monsterdon #bog

@Configures Wasn't he driving the car that burst into flames and killed the monster?
#monsterdon

@log I'm so glad I missed a few this month.

#monsterdon

I miss the days when credits actually went slow enough to read. #Monsterdon

I’m not saying it was good. But that was a fine B movie experience. #Monsterdon

@paco they covered up the whole thing, all those lives erased... #Monsterdon

Okay, so was there ever a Bog Witch II?

This is a franchise just waiting to be snatched up and run with. Think of the possibilities for merch and prequels!

#monsterdon

@70sgayspaceangel HA ha

#monsterdon #Bog1979

@Mikal @moira Me, too. Maybe that’s why I liked it.

#Monsterdon

Sheriff: "We need to blow it up. Dead!"
Medical examiner: "Maybe we should be cautious."

Later:

(mostly-dead-level bog lake boom scene ensues)

#monsterdon #bog

@paco I was ok with him (Jensen) surviving. #Monsterdon #Bog
