Jeezus, Mary and Joseph, make it stop

#monsterdon

Okay so this #Monsterdon bog movie starts with a camera showing us some fog and a wetland, which I guess is the titular bog. We hear some bird noises. Despite my avian username I cannot identify them, but the smarter monsterdonners say that they are loons.

The camera goes to a guy in a boat throwing explosives into the water to fish; he has a hat that is simultaneously silly and cool. He paddles his boat over to pick up the dead fish then something pulls him into the water. good start.

MONSTER CHOMP

So long, dynamite fisher. Bog got ya.

(Uhhhh what in the heckity-heck is going on with this intro music. And apparently the aerial shots antedated stabilizing gimbals??)

#monsterdon

Who chose this song for the opening credits of Bog?

#monsterdon

I hope I see a wood panelled stationwagon in this

#Monsterdon

A dynamite way to start the movie.

@catzilla

@SordidAmok if you wanna be bossed around by a socialist bog witch, join the #CultOfRamenCatholicism today! Then come clean my house tomorrow?

#Monsterdon

So ends another #Monsterdon where I am grateful to have spent more time reading comments than watching the movie.

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

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.

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

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.

#monsterdon #Bog1979

@moira I thought last week was worse tbf #Monsterdon

I have survived #Monsterdon. Now I’m 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

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

@Taweret cheers! #Monsterdon

@floatybirb bog witch was legit interesting and creepy

#monsterdon #Bog1979

No idea what #Monsterdon is but it would be great if this Mute button in Mastodon actually worked!

@log true dat

#Monsterdon

@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

That’s 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

#Monsterdon

Well, that was some bog-standard #Monsterdon nonsense 🤦

Thanks as always @Taweret@octodon.social for hosting and everyone for posting! Definitely worth pausing my drive to participate. Looking forward to next time....

Thanks again to @Taweret for hosting, @Cherizilla for organizing #MonsterdonBingo, and everyone else for making it fun!

Cheers!

#Monsterdon

Bog Witch as the main villain, controlling the Bog Creature is actually a much better movie. I think we can get this written up in a few weeks.

#Monsterdon

That wasn't even the worst movie we've seen this month. #Monsterdon #TheBog1979

#Monsterdon 👮 👨‍⚕️ 🏊‍♀️ 🐉 😱

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

#monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

THIS WAS SET IN WISCONS---.

No, that tracks.

#monsterdon #bog

I didn’t horribly dislike that. We’ve seen worse.

#Monsterdon

tune in next week, same bog time, same bog channel!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Half expected Ming the Merciless to come in from stage left chuckling. That would have helped.

Honestly: we've watched WAY worse.

#monsterdon #Bog1979

Good time at the old #monsterdon

Then we get BOG II: Electric BOGALOO. That's a wrap kids! Thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting. Have a great week beautiful mutants. #Monsterdon #Bog

What a classic Monsterdon ending.

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

The End ?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon The End? "Walk with me... "

Look at this stuff…
Isn’t it neat…

THE END?

#Monsterdon

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

#monsterdon #Bog1979

OK, that aircraft was a Colonial Skimmer, almost certainly.

Maybe even this one, N6028V.

#monsterdon

That was a weird cut. The car rammed into the creature, and somehow the humans got away in time?

#Monsterdon

#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.

Hit the monster with a Ford Pinto!

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

DEFINITELY #TeamMonster

Land of the Midnight Sun, WI #Monsterdon

#monsterdon He sounds like he's melodiously Harkonnen. LOL.

Not super sure what's being conveyed here

#monsterdon

This monster sounds like a dog playing with a rope toy. #Monsterdon

We’ve got 5 minutes left. It’s time to fuck off into the bog!

#Monsterdon

"You guys go drive 50 miles an hour for 3 minutes. We will go on foot from here and get there at the same time!"
#monsterdon

The sequins on that fish suit are magnificent.

#Monsterdon

"We gotta catch him before he infuses her"

Is that what they're calling it nowadays

#Monsterdon

"I hope it's not too late." #monsterdon

#monsterdon So, the monster infuses human women with his blood so that they can (and will willingly) mate with the monster and lay eggs?

And this is possible because it's made of cancer?

The science is a little hard to follow.

So the bio lab was just a shack out in the woods?

"We miss Neal so much. Now, let us never speak of him again."

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon so if the ichthyologist flies a plane is he flying fish faculty

Is this DAY POSING AS NIGHT?

#Monsterdon

Ah yes, a small town with an 82nd Street.

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

He sounds like he swallowed a chainsaw. #Monsterdon #Bog

guess bog monster has a thing for older women 🥴
#monsterdon

This creature has such a specific diet. It’s the Monarch butterfly of bog monsters. #Monsterdon

They should have called this movie slog #monsterdon

An ichthyologist! Now this movie is going to get exciting!
#Monsterdon #Bog

#Monsterdon #Bog

#monsterdon Okay I take back (nearly) every gripe I had so far with this movie, this thing is absolutely amazing, I hope it makes it through this movie and gets to pal around with Octaman.

Shittiest monster yet

#monsterdon

wait i missed when adriana died #monsterdon

Ichthyologist: "Without a DNA test I wouldn't even attempt a postulation."

Subtitle: "Without a DNA test I wouldn't even attempt a (mumbling)"

Oof, subtitler, that was a swing and a miss

#monsterdon

"Well, she's dead and that's that."

Well the movie's over and that's that. #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Someone read Beowulf

#monsterdon #bog1979

they forgot to stop recording

#monsterdon

@catzilla
Probably wouldn't even need the human skeleton there.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👮 👨‍⚕️ 🏊‍♀️ 🐉 😱

"But perhaps there's a fact we don't know about"

Pink smoke. It's a girl.

#monsterdon

Haha, subtitles "[mumbling]" for the word "postulation"

#Monsterdon

Is Adriane fucking the bog monster? Is that where this is going?

#Monsterdon

I don't have supporting documentation, but this auquaplane inspired the aquaplane in the British version of Wicker Man.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon it is NOT fish-like it is a goddamn giant owl

That's a cool aqua-boat

#Monsterdon

"A man of action"

#monsterdon

The story kind of... bogged down at the end.

#Monsterdon

this monster is bullshit

remember cranecam? this is actual monster baby. not real monster.

#monsterdon #Bog1979

#Monsterdon I think they just murdered an owl

@steggy This one wishes he were Octaman

#Monsterdon

This movie ends with bog witch down by the lake, doing something that ensures the monster will survive or regenerate or something

#monsterdon

"This plan is going well"

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👮 👨‍⚕️ 🏊‍♀️ 🐉 😱

MONSTER!!!

hey! there he was! for like half a frame, the Bog Monster! #monsterdon
