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

@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.

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

@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

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

I’m glad they didn’t manage to completely destroy the bog monster’s habitat #Monsterdon

It's impressive how stuff like Changemen, Jaspion or any other 70s/80s japanese monster TV show had better production value than this #monsterdon #bog

I’ve heard people who snore like this monster “roars” #Monsterdon

@arrjay That’s just the monster groaning. #monsterdon

So the love theme of this movie is from the point of view of the monster singing to Adrianna? Or her singing to him?
"Your kisses stir deep in me a love left locked inside." Fishie kisses.
#Monsterdon #Bog

So we suffered an additional 10-15 minutes of runtime to leave the door open for a sequel... :nope:

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

#monsterdon Okay speakers of proper English, this one is for you:

(This image may pop up in the middle of future movies)

Who brought the Old Bay seasoning--anyone??

#Monsterdon

@_L1vY_
Gotta pad out that runtime somehow.

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

And thus a new bog witch is borne #Monsterdon

@murph was there? i mean I didn't see much makeup at all so

#monsterdon #Bog1979

@Louisa they meant thanks to the band Chicago

#monsterdon

I didn't catch any smoking, but wouldn't be surprised if it was in there somewhere. We did have coffee.

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

Aggregated reviews state "OK Witch and great muttering" #Monsterdon

Cool, Mike Bilandic former Chicago mayor from when I lived out there, makes it onto the credits. Not every politician can say that #monsterdon

gah!

if you got the archive.org version you need to STOP THE MOVIE

or else annoying tone time

#monsterdon

@ramsey Made by the brew crew, for the brew crew. This just needed more beer applied to the audience.

#monsterdon #Bog1979

#PBR product placement #Monsterdon

Monster flambé #monsterdon #bog

Come quick! the movie's heading back toward the bog! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon That was fun! We needed a good laugh. And the music during the credits is so relevant to the plot. Thanks!

Wowwwwwwwwwww.

#Monsterdon #Bog

@SordidAmok #monsterdon Yeti had soul! Yeti knew love.... and loss.

The End?
#Monsterdon #Bog

How can an action scene like this have zero sense of urgency? #monsterdon #bog

@LingLass Irresistible combination, it’s both! 💗bog monster 💗 #Monsterdon

I don't like to make fun of people's names, but:
Schattschneider?
Schmirler?
Skittone?
Mr and Mrs. Buick?
#monsterdon

Thanks as always @Taweret ! #monsterdon

Bog Witch was the best part (=
peace y'all ✌️
#Monsterdon
#bog1979

Who was it who wanted a screen cap of the monster? Blurry VHS shot of the back spikes!

#Monsterdon

@diazona I wish they had a roadhouse scene with someone crooning it, diagetic-style #monsterdon

#monsterdon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjxTWIjfSOk

It sure was. #monsterdon

i'm not sorry for voting for that, the monster reveal was great #Monsterdon

*squints* well it kinda sorta looks like your average Deep One style fisnman. Just with lobster claws and giant saucer eyes.
#Monsterdon #Bog

*grunting noises*

#monsterdon

#monsterdon i kind of expected at least one bog and more mustaches

lol autoplay rolls over to slithis, longtime competitor of bog for last place

Someone give the bog monster a losenge #monsterdon #bog

and roll credits.

this wasn't a Sad Beige Movie after all.

this has been a viewing of Bog, as part of #monsterdon !

@nhgeek maybe just going to hit myself repeatedly in the head with a stick #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon aw so cute, widdle baby boggies! 🥹

how many harshaws are involved in this movie?!

"i'm a harshaw sir!"

"Me too!"

"I knew it! I'm surrounded by Harshaws!"

#monsterdon #Bog1979

It means the movie is over! We're free! #Monsterdon #TheBog1979

#monsterdon The bog monster was Jeff Schwaab, not Jeff Schwaaaaaaaaab. OKAY. I mean, really. Tsk. ;)

Yay! Sole soundtrack song final credit roll redux! #Monsterdon #TheBog1979

Slime trail!

"He's headed for the bog! We'll go on foot"

Like, haven't you already seen what chasing this thing on foot leads to?

#monsterdon

This movie looks like it had a bucket of black ink spilled on it. WHich is probably for the best. I fear the monster costume we can't see is very very bad.
#Monsterdon #Bog

oh, this is our sequel sting. in C64-VISION.

#monsterdon

@paco

We lose empathy watching these movies every week. Thanks for grounding us again.

#Monsterdon

@mmezabet It's voice is so much better than it has to be in this crappy film #monsterdon

Well la dee da Gloria De Haven!

#Monsterdon

Is...is the music horny for the monster?

#monsterdon #bog

well chat, that was totes boggers

time to bog off to bed

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon He sounds horrible. Maybe he should lay off the people for a while.

only the power of a MAN can make the monster correctly BURN

no really, why did it work _that_ time?

#monsterdon

This Lake is Cleansed

#Monsterdon

The Bog monster sounds like a Yeti with a tummy ache. Or someone mumbling their dialogue into a dying microphone.
#Monsterdon #Bog

I like the bullfrog notes in the bog monster's noises.

#Monsterdon #Bog

#monsterdon
Wallace Fry was played by Robert Fry?

and the monster fucked-- um, you know what, nevermind

thanks everybody!

#monsterdon

Count down to "the end ... or IS IT?!!"

#Monsterdon

Cajun Blackened... tasty

#Monsterdon #bog1979

The slowest car scene in the history of movies #monsterdon #bog

It was combustible #monsterdon

Now the creature has a spike ridge on its head and back?

#Monsterdon

Growling or purring? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I don't understand... I missed good parts of it... Maybe that's why I don't understand...

A “blood affinity” #Monsterdon

Wow that was...

Well, it was something.

Thanks, everyone! I'm going to dip out before I have to hear this damn song again.

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

ROCK LOBSTER! ooooo ahhhh

#Monsterdon

BLINDED! BY THE LIGHT! #monsterdon

...then what?

#Monsterdon
#bog1979

Wake up, monster, you're having one of those bad dreams #monsterdon

Maybe you should run away from the burning monster standing in a pile of dry leaves in the forest
