#monsterdon See now here's another example, insists on long drawn out underwater sequence but _unlike_ that one film with East Eddy we get neither butts NOR 70s Jazz.

We did get something that looked like ping pong balls but they weren't being used as eye prosthesis soooooo...

@JoeWynne 58:00:00 Looks like the sheriff had this week's cocktail ready to go in that flask.

59:45:00 great reaction shot to cap into a gif later.

We'll get the fire department on it. #monsterdon

@bstacey ohh I did not get that

#Monsterdon

vapourise him too

#monsterdon #Bog1979

@RobynGoodfellow@mastodon.murkworks.net They're trying to kill the monster so they can replace it with a better monster, probably

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

"I feel like a drink, you?"

Monster: "Yes, you look like a drink...of blood."

#monsterdon

@ranjit @Taweret It wasn't under a Creative Commons License #monsterdon

Did we just plan a huge military parade??

#Monsterdon

gun shop, community center, same thing really #monsterdon

Because this is America, the gun toting townies decide that the best plan is to buy lots of bullets to shoot the monster. Which, to be fair, is a reasonable use for lots of bullets.

Meanwhile, the monster eggs they just left outside unattended got stolen by the monster in the night. It is confirmed to have Crab Hands.

#monsterdon

Yokels will DIE!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Are they gonna suggest using Broads as bait?

Dr. Wednesday?! DOCTOR WEDNESDAY?!?!

ADDAMS COME GET YOUR PEOPLE

#monsterdon #Bog1979

Exciting 70s Detroit rolling stock scene

#Monsterdon

Wait, fish & game poisons the fish in lakes before restocking 'em? And the local fire department keeps the stuff?

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

Here is an artist's reconstruction of the Bog monster.
#Monsterdon #Bog

So they kill all the fish so they can restock the bog with more fish? #Monsterdon #Bog

"We're going to build a blood scent generator. All we need is a lot of blood"

#monsterdon
#Bog

Wait, they kill all the fish to restock it with fish‽
#monsterdon

Are ve... are ve ze dummkopfs? #Monsterdon #TheBog1979

hokily-dokily!

#monsterdon #Bog1979

and by blood scent generator you mean a box fan next to a bucket of blood or something??? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Whomever made this movie was in angel dust.

They sure did make some soundtrack choices in this #Monsterdon eh?

Movie, I *do* feel like having a drink #monsterdon

"...a blood scent generator!"

#Monsterdon #Bog

Jesus, Angel Dust???

#Monsterdon

Mustache deputy looks kinda like will forte #monsterdon

Crawdaddy has come to steal back his crawbaby seggs.
#Monsterdon #Bog

blood scent generator????? what
#monsterdon

Bog Boy _needs_ his BABIES. #monsterdon

Closing up the gun shop early during the monster siege? Yep. Makes sense. #Monsterdon #TheBog1979

"They weren't stolen ... look!"

They were slimed.

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

and now, the moon!

#monsterdon #Bog1979

They get these guys from Dutch's place in the Giant Spider Invasion?

#Monsterdon

After the monster ate a few more people, one of the bike teens (I think) drew a picture of the monster that we don't get to see. But it has a pointy bit.

Hearing about the monsters' pointy bit stresses out Mr Garibaldi, so he does a relapse and starts pouring whisky for himself and the science masters.

#monsterdon

they're getting a pitchfork mob together! #monsterdon

"I gotta call Neal, those roadblocks are useless!"

How many Monsterdon movies have this line

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

Alright, Bog Monster posse #Monsterdon

@Taweret we didn't even get to see the bike girl's drawing of the monster 😢

#monsterdon

that's right we're all just day drinking in this town. #monsterdon

That's dunnings-KRUGER to you!

#monsterdon #Bog1979

This bog water seems quite clear of sediments. They might have invasive mussels. #Monsterdon #TheBog1979

Someone dropped their arts and crafts final project into the bog? #monsterdon #bog1979

A DuPonte Lure for his fish!
#monsterdon

Oh hey bike riding girlfriends confirmed.
#Monsterdon #Bog

we're gonna get all our asses fucked up and killed!

#monsterdon #Bog1979

"Not exactly a seed. And not exactly and egg. Something in between. I call it seggs."
#Monsterdon #Bog

My babies!!! #Monsterdon

TBH this monster snippets and shadows kinda looking like a space pirate from Metroid
#monsterdon

#monsterdon The gun shop always does good business when a monster is in town.

lol

"Meanwhile at the Gun Store"

#Monsterdon

"Every aspect of it must be way out of proportion" It must have an enormous schwanzstucker! #Monsterdon #Bog

@diazona It's the monsters' weakness in "Horror of Party Beach" (1964)

#Monsterdon

lookit! SeaMonkey eggs from a Superfund site! #Monsterdon

"The victim drew a sketch, you wanna see it?"

#Monsterdon

That’s more maternal care than a lot of crustaceans, TBH #Monsterdon

Pretty sure those eggs are just plastic balls out of vending machines.

#Monsterdon #Bog

@annathepiper Those aquatic trombones are vicious #monsterdon

cop shows up, everybody leaves

point to the redneck crowd

#monsterdon #Bog1979

omigosh its giant little pincers! it's a mega-crawdad!

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

So whose up for some Quaker Oats now?

#Monsterdon

Bog cam. Lets us know how shallow this water really is. #Monsterdon

Bog monster has crawdad hands

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

Oh shucks, sheriff. What other inspired idea will have you expend more lives? Maybe have someone feel around in the mud for footprints. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👮 👨‍⚕️ 🏊‍♀️ 🐉 😱

I too would like some good old drawer whiskey I guess

THEM CLAWSSSSS
#monsterdon

ah, this is how mermaids reproduce, right. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon is that snorkel properly secured??

Every self-respecting gun store owner has a microfiche reader.

#monsterdon

@bstacey I don't know or care if that would work but I'm in for more explosions (especially fun chemistry explosions)

#Monsterdon

They keep shooting talking scenes in front of the same cinder block wall...

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

Let's go back to ridiculously long docking footage. Or Bog Cam. Anything.

#Monsterdon

That one guys’ whole job is saying “we got another one” and looking morose. #Monsterdon

Oh, check out the orchestral score on that 0.05 seconds of barely visible monster part. #Monsterdon #TheBog1979

Yep, clearly a PCP drawing.

#Monsterdon #Bog

Between a seed and an egg? A seegg then?
#Monsterdon

Unattended eggs, dun dun dun #Monsterdon

"you attack with your grabber claw, well I'LL CLAW YOU" #monsterdon

I can smell that bog monster room from here.

#Monsterdon

looking forward to seeing mutant tungsten bog tadpoles

#monsterdon

I guess the egg and seed action will have to wait

#Monsterdon

Bury your gays?

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

Ok, when's the reboot happening? Hey, what are you doing with that dynamite?

#Monsterdon

Could be worse, could've been the Kodiak Marmoset. #Monsterdon

oh Neil, you cynical realist #Monsterdon

Spectacular editing of that scuba attack scene, very clear and concise /s

#Monsterdon

Fade-to-green is quite the gimmick.

#monsterdon

MONSTER CHOMP

Alas, down goes Neil. And also Neil's diving buddy? I think? Hard to keep track, there is an awful lot of non-specific bogchompery happening here tonight.

#monsterdon

"Not exactly a seed, and not exactly an egg. A…seeg."

#Monsterdon

But do they have 1000 power?

#Monsterdon #Bog

Like you, I only know it's the "diver down" flag because of Van Halen

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon wait did they get a chance to warn the divers about the bog monster or .....?

this is some disorienting dive footage. the crew must have had a real bad time with it. #monsterdon

@brooke darn i watched the feed #Monsterdon

At least the stock orchestral cues are pretty good #monsterdon

Ah good, more "science"
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Literal Green screen

Okay I'm guessing it's like some giant prehistoric crawdad

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

I was going to say they found a big cluster of frog eggs, but they're pretty solid for that ... little bog monster young has tentacles!

That's our cue to bring in full size tentacles!

That's eleven and twelve, I think

#Monsterdon #Bog1979
