i mean give this some goddamn credit, fight scenes between stop-motion and live actors? goddamn.

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Yeah, should've killed Calibos the first time

#Monsterdon

more mixed film and claymation. the stuff with the scorpions was really good, I would say better than the stuff with Calibos

#Monsterdon

Forked in the back! And you're to blame
You give love a bad name 🎶

#Monsterdon

Perseus has weak grip game

#monsterdon

Did he catch his sword by the blade? Wha? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Yeah, Hoplite Bob Ross kicks ass!

#monsterdon Calibos always plays dirty pool

Dusa is so cute.
#Monsterdon #ClashoftheTitans

Well at least they're not drooling #Monsterdon

Well NOW who’s going to do the exposition?

#Monsterdon

Perseus's character build is really suffering without that shield. He should respec, get himself a 2-hander build. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon this reminds me of trying to melee a radscorpion in fallout

Hey, umm... What's the return policy on the ornate red sack that seeps giant scorpions? Gently used. #Monsterdon

Owltoo Deetoo is *not* IP68 rated. #monsterdon

NOOOOO NOT THE LITTLE ROBO OWL

man fuck that guy why he so damn grumpy still
#monsterdon

The witches didn't say anything about the blood turning into scorpions. #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

*owl into water*
fair.
#monsterdon

Bubo NOOOOOOO

#monsterdon

Oh, right. This scene with the scorpions. I forgot about this.

#Monsterdon

more goo!
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon sorry, I couldn't say anything while Medusa was onscreen because DUSA FUCKING ROCKS!

lol the fork hand

#monsterdon

The torchlight and heavy shadows do make her all the more menacing and still just believable enough decades later. One of Harryhausen's best monsters.
#Monsterdon #ClashoftheTitans

At this point Caliborn is just Perseus's own personal Team Rocket. #Monsterdon

The owl doubles as a IP security cam

#Monsterdon

Got Medusa’s head in a bag? Check.

Got clockwork owl? Check.

Time to go kill a krakken.

#Monsterdon

"There can be only one...." #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Dude, put that thing away.

💥 CLASH OF THE TRIVIA 💥

Influential!
The character of Medusa is rarely seen in any media until after this movie. Not even in Hammer's The Gorgon.

Those born in the 80s and beyond owe their knowledge of Medusa to our feature film tonight.

💥 #ClashOfTheTitans1981

@kiana looked like spaghetti sauce to me

#monsterdon

She totally blinked
#Monsterdon

Better wrap that head up before you summon Charon again or you’re gonna row yourself. #monsterdon

Imagine a movie now giving a hero this much time to let his actions sink in, if only

#Monsterdon

I suppose it doesn't count as a breaking of the "dog can't die" rule of cinema if it's a magical two headed dog but it SHOULD. #monsterdon

Medusa’s blood is deadly poison venom

#monsterdon

Almost to the Medusa bit. My avatar, for the record. There's more symbolism in what Medusa was turned into than has been covered by latter day lore, and a hint at that can be found in the New Testament where Jesus tells his Twelve to be shrewd as snakes. Even in the Chinese calendar, the Year of the Snake evokes shrewdness, cleverness.

#Monsterdon

He walks out, and says "hey! Look what I got! .... why's everyone so quiet?"

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Remember, she is the victim in all this cause two gods were assholes to each other an punished her.
#Monsterdon #ClashoftheTitans

#Monsterdon ha made you look.

THAT SNAKE IS STEALING YOUR SWORD!! WHATEVER WILL YOU DO!! #monsterdon

Perseus wins the snake fight!

Give that man his PhD!!

#monsterdon

Even P knows that was wrong

#Monsterdon

running around like a chicken with its head cut off

oh wait

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Impressive the way she screamed AFTER her head was cut off. #Monsterdon

how did Medusa scream AFTER the beheading??

#monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

💥 CLASH OF THE TRIVIA 💥

Harry "Hot Lips" Hamlin fought against UK Standards and Practices censors' desire to make the Medusa decapitation better for kids by removing the decapitation action.

He stayed in his trailer the day of filming it and convinced other crew members to back leaving the decapitation scene in the film.

As you can see, it remained.

💥 #ClashOfTheTitans1981

There can only be one! #Monsterdon

@starkraving666 I loved Ray Harryhausen as a kid. #Monsterdon

I do wonder why they didn't just use a real rattlesnake's rattle for Medusa's tail. I guess it wouldn't have fit in with her "voice"?

#monsterdon

I want a tail. Can a Deity hurry up and turn me into a creature please?

#Monsterdon

Dude too busy checking himself out in the mirror to fight the monster
#monsterdon

I mean, we've been needing this every since the last #Monsterdon with snek-hair. #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

@apLundell To be fair I would not mind a story about a sexy gorgon who just wants to find a nice guy

#Monsterdon

@Bluedepth She was an early freeze-dryer #monsterdon

OW, stop it with the arrows and death rays #monsterdon

#monsterdon Good work actually making the gorgon ugly.

Sometimes they make her sexy, except with snake hair.

...sexy snake hair.

#Monsterdon Medusa is just as creepy today as she was in the 80s.

Medusa's a party girl. Just look at her shakin' her butt even in a fight. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Medusa doesn't so much turn you to stone as radically dehydrate you. She’s... utterly moisturized.

Everybody must get stoned. #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

#Monsterdon "For the audience in the theater: if you reach under your seat, you will find your personal Medusa mirror. Remember: only look at Medusa in the mirror!"

Okay, Medusa is genuinely giving me the creeps. This is the good shit

The red lighting, the dragging herself along the floor, the sound effects—okay the laser eyes are less frightening

#Monsterdon

Medusa's band, brought to you by Moog Bass

#monsterdon

Everyone in the theater audience turned to stone when this scene debuted.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon i love how one of this guys gets just *slammed* by an arrow and Perseus is all "oh shit, she has a magic power AND a regular weapon?"

OW. FUCK THAT HURT. Imma lay in this hot tub a minute. #monsterdon

This is a formidable Medussa.

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

The lesbian monsterfuckers have entered the chat

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Crawling on her hands!! SO scary to childhood me

#Monsterdon

Making her a rattlesnake Naga was genius. That rattle is so creepy. #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

So on top of it all there's a pool of acid? #monsterdon

In case it wasn't clear, I have been on team Anti-Perseus for a while, it doesn't matter which monster is it #monsterdon #clashofthetitans

Spectrum really covered this - she'd've stood no chance against an SPV.

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Oh nice, Medusa respec'd into a Rogue build! Sneak Attack really suits her :D #Monsterdon

`[RATTLING]

#monsterdon

That body tho.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Try ear skritches. It’s a dog. Sheesh!

Wait, does Greece have rattlesnakes? I thought those were North American?

#Monsterdon

Medusa's lair is pretty good set tho #monsterdon

lol one guy has a pig with wings on his shield

#monsterdon

Oh, poor two-headed doggo. I't was only being a good guard-dog
Thumbs down Perseu
#monsterdon

A snake, a snake, snake, a snake
Oh, it's a snake #Monsterdon

#monsterdon It doesn’t end well for poor Dioskilos. Sorry folks. The Harryhausen pupper gets it.

@CactuarJoe nooo puppy 😢

#monsterdon

@aburka @SnoopJ Just think of all the virtual gorgon-antigorgon pairs popping into existence all over ancient Greece

These guys are doomed

#Monsterdon

This is getting more and more reminiscent of the Commodore 64 Hercules game #monsterdon

"Snek, friendly danger noodle, that's not another danger noodle, you cannot have sex with it, pelase please give it back"

#monsterdon #ClashoftheTitans

My sword now! --Snek

#Monsterdon

Omigosh what puppers! And the pretty little python! Medusa keeps such wonderful pets!

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans1981

#Monsterdon DON'T HURT THE PUPPY!

no step on snek #monsterdon

PUPPY!

#Monsterdon

the dog knows who the true villain of this piece is. #monsterdon

A canine Ghidorah #monsterdon

Snek!

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

That snake is trolling him.
#Monsterdon

*insert monologue about the nature of man written by Terry Pratchet here*
#Monsterdon #ClashoftheTitans

red eyes glint stop-motionly from the darkness

me: YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Jesus, is Perseus part cat?
