#Monsterdon Okay petition to name the Bog Monster Boggie to promote tourism and lake science.
Take THAT Loch Ness ๐
@MylesRyden I am so uncomfortable from a scene in which everyone kept their clothes on, and yet still.... #Monsterdon
This scene was sponsored by aspercreme #monsterdon
This scene really needed THe Captain and Tennille's Muskrat Love. #Monsterdon
Now I have to watch geriatric sex? This IS a horror movie. #monsterdon
#Monsterdon Look I'm not saying you have a period of mourning where no one fucks because of the Bog Monster and Bog Witch but... you didn't even create an atmosphere. You basically went "Yeah yeah giant bugs You're hot and single are you ready to mingle?"

Now we get a 68 year old man fuck a 55 year old woman
i don't need to this romance scene
#monsterdon I think the "Walk with me" song exists outside of this movie..
Some of y'all are hypodeemic nerdles
I would! I would believe the old hag of the woods!
#Monsterdon I think there's a reason we don't have giant insects and I think it has something to do with gravity or oxygen or something. I read something about it years ago and I simply don't remember the details because I was like 13
Did they just improvise the sheriff getting the line wrong as being drunk?
So Huck Finn takes the Hat Boys to a cave witch to learn the secrets of the bog. The witch, who looks and sounds exactly like you'd expect, uses her spooky voice to explain that the bog has a monster that like to drink blood and then take naps, but recently people have been disturbing its naps so it needs to drink more blood I guess.
It has a bunch of names that I forgot, but also, like most of us it sleeps in the bog slime.
these guys are asking her questions like rpg protagonists going down a dialogue tree list lmao
Well, technically she is a Swamp Witch but anyway
My headcanon for this #monsterdon is that the science lady is a secret would-be monsterfucker with a manila folder labelled "Werewolf Stories" and another one labelled "Hot Draculas KEEP OUT" and a third one labelled "Sultry Mothmen", and that's why when these Bog Murders happen she goes immediately to "OMG it cant be human it must be a swamp monster! Maybe even a hot dracula!?"
24 years old. This is what happens from smoking Camels. #monsterdon
This is Marjorie Taylor Greene, she knows everything....
having her dialogue be so ADRed would almost be cool if it was on purpose. #monsterdon
Is the 'gun store' the social nexus of this town?
Like how other cultures have a pub or cafe?
"Mosquitos around here big enough to carry my gun" I fucking love that line. #monsterdon
Oh damn. I didn't realize I should have started a beer counter earlier. We must have hit two six packs already.
#Monsterdon #Bog
Now don't you boys give Mikey no matches. #Monsterdon
It's a giant mosquito, isn't it? #Monsterdon
A Bog Dracula, a common occurrence #monsterdon #bog1979
...what in the fucking
why are we being assaulted by Hong Kong Fooey-voice here :/ #Monsterdon
Stop besmirching whales! ๐ค
that was quite the death scream LOL #monsterdon
Careful, you'll shoot your eye out.
Please be giant mosquitoes
I like how the dead broads aren't mutilated
Oh they were their wives?!
In a sequence I was not paying attention to, the headband girl screams, leading the boat couple to come to their investigation, and then both girls were eaten by an unseen monster, but the boys escaped I guess, dooming us to spend the rest of the movie with them.
In the next scene, the boys are a cop station and the cops are like "yo sorry your wives missing, we'll do a search" and then casually mention the missing guy who does the dynamite fishing.
#monsterdon Middle Eastern refrains mixed in with random musical gibberish..
@trixter The record to beat is before the movie even starts, so....
#Monsterdon law enforcement actually on a missing persons case
No budget for the rubber suit or limited rental time? #monsterdon
Two creepy men went out into the woods with two women, come back and say 'a monster killed them'......the Patriarchy utterly believes this story of course.
@diazona #monsterdon
Priorities.
Nothing like going camping with your spouse when you hate camping and your spouse. #Monsterdon
The characters in this movie keep repeating their names to each other via their gendered complaining, in what is an obvious plot to trick me into remembering their names.
Are we supposed to.....care?
Oh my, is that an attempt at a monsters paw on the ladies leg?
I'm going to need more weed for this...
#monsterdon You're gonna take both me AND my mother out to dinner. This is rare to hear a woman say, but okay..
It feels like I've been watching this for a half an hour. This is gonna be brutal. #monsterdon
"I'll take you out into the lake and then....y'know...the 'implication'....."
Was there some kind of joke there? With the green sleeping bag/brown sleeping bag? Does anybody get it?
"Ask me no questions, slave person," hahahaha dude you're totally dying first
Costume department didn't age these clothes at all.
#Monsterdon ๐ฎ ๐จโโ๏ธ ๐โโ๏ธ ๐ ๐ฑ
oh no the 'battle of the sexes' vibe ick
Lake Exposition Man
Jeezus, Mary and Joseph, make it stop
Who chose this song for the opening credits of Bog?
I hope I see a wood panelled stationwagon in this
A dynamite way to start the movie.
@gnomon Ear worm! ๐๐๐
#monsterdon
@catzilla
@SordidAmok if you wanna be bossed around by a socialist bog witch, join the #CultOfRamenCatholicism today! Then come clean my house tomorrow?
So ends another #Monsterdon where I am grateful to have spent more time reading comments than watching the movie.
What a wonderful bit of 70s Wisconsin culture that was. Thanks to @Taweret for hosting tonight's fling! The weird fishy vampire sex slave subplot really ... well, it was in there, somehow.
even though i'd seen this before, i'd forgotten almost everything about it. i think it's my brain trying to protect me.
anyway, thanks again to our fearless leader @Taweret for hosting! and to all the #monsterdon community who make it so fun
This concludes my #monsterdon thread; thanks to @Taweret for hosting and to all who participated for a shared boggy internet experience.
@Lazarou OH yeah. That was WAY worse.
@moira I thought last week was worse tbf #Monsterdon
I have survived #Monsterdon. Now Iโm going to watch some K-Drama for a bit more realistic take on life
And kudos to Gloria deHaven for the two best performances in the film. #Monsterdon
@Taweret cheers! #Monsterdon
@log true dat
@allanb very un cop-like behaviour! #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon join us next week for "bog 2: electric bogaloo"
ok that was a stinker but let's be honest folks
it was no great spider invasion :D
i hope we all had fun <3
You see, what had happened was:
The scripts for five bog monster movies got dropped on the floor and all mixed up with each other
So an enterprising writer grabbed up an armful of papers, took them home, and tied them all together with the through-story of Middle Aged True Love
Thatโs why we have Cancer Monster Mosquito Ice Age Crystaline Fish Face Crab Hands creature randomly killing people and also seeking to make his One True Bog Witch replacement
Thanks again to @Taweret for hosting, @Cherizilla for organizing #MonsterdonBingo, and everyone else for making it fun!
Cheers!
That wasn't even the worst movie we've seen this month. #Monsterdon #TheBog1979
#Monsterdon ๐ฎ ๐จโโ๏ธ ๐โโ๏ธ ๐ ๐ฑ
It's over and I will maintain that there were no bogs in Bog but thank you @Taweret for hosting, @Cherizilla for bingo and @JoeWynne for trivia...
Thanks very much to all you #monsterdonians out there you made it delightful!
And thank you all for watching along, little boglings. That was truly one of the films of all time.
bog bog bog bog bog boggity bog booooog bog bog GOODNIGHT
This one falls into the category of "I bet that was actually a fun watch in the 70's at a drive in with a cooler of beer on a summer night." #Monsterdon #Bog
I like how the Internet Archive version ends with a classic "no signal" tone
I didnโt horribly dislike that. Weโve seen worse.
#monsterdon Half expected Ming the Merciless to come in from stage left chuckling. That would have helped.
tune in next week, same bog time, same bog channel!
Honestly: we've watched WAY worse.
Good time at the old #monsterdon
What a classic Monsterdon ending.
The End ?
#monsterdon The End? "Walk with me... "
Normal cars come with safety features. That one came with danger features, like an impact-sensitive firebomb in the front bumper. Standard issue in the 70s
#Monsterdon #Bog1979
@SordidAmok director paid by the foot
That was a weird cut. The car rammed into the creature, and somehow the humans got away in time?
#Monsterdon I wouldn't willingly mate with it (I don't want children) but I think the Bog Monster is kind of cute? Like how the eyes are done.
Artist's reconstruction of the Bog monster carrying her back to his Bog home.
#Monsterdon #Bog
Hit the monster with a Ford Pinto!
DEFINITELY #TeamMonster
#monsterdon He sounds like he's melodiously Harkonnen. LOL.
