Seriously, like, the bubbles look great, the lighting is perfect, and the clouds of dust and everythingβ¦unless you have like James Cameron-level special effects, this is still the kind of thing you'd have to do practically and it would still be really hard.
Ricou Browning (the guy in the Creature's suit) really is doing some good swimming in this #monsterdon
I want to see this movie again without the movie -- just the soundtrack.
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon so they maced him every time he came close. ok
@airshipper I wonder how many movies that feature SMEAT fit the profile of a #Monsterdon movie
News flash: the human-sized monster is not, in fact, a mosquito

more more he loves it
#monsterdon
Even at the bottom of primeval lagoons in the Amazon lost to time, it's 4:20. #monsterdon
@OliviaVespera
Nearing Cleopatra level
I feel that maybe some sort if PPE is in order when mixing these sort of chemicals but what to I know I guess the little shorts cover all the important stuff anyways #Monsterdon
@Zerofactorial "What do you guys thing? Huh? Huh? I could be a hand model, couldn't I? I'm fucking magnificent, check me out!"
Monster gotta nice butt.
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon
oh no, the deadly white fog gun!
Sheβs trying to decide which body it is before she screams. #Monsterdon
Gillman like HEY NEIGHBOR #Monsterdon
time to poison the audience in 3D!
Mark just changed his name to Bob.
Was starting to get annoyed with Mark, but surprised David isnβt more broken up. #monsterdon
If this works, I'm gonna be mildly put out that the Thing That Saves The Day is water pollution >_> #Monsterdon
"I've got a hunch this creature remembers the past and more."
... the future?
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon
I'm horrified to imagine what they actually did to this body of water during filming
The Creature just wants folks to Like his hand, is that too much to ask? #monsterdon
Scream practice on the set must be a horrible day for all concerned.
#Monsterdon
#CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon
none of them have had a cat and it shows
squirty bottle through the window, HISS no kitty no paw.
#Monsterdon
Why did you bandage the injure man's mouth? Did you gag him too?
Does he no longer need food? Or unrestricted breathing? What if his nose gets stuffy? Or he needs a tasty beverage?
"...ooops, I accidentally filled it with funnel cake batter"
Ok, so I'll be in the water, spraying poison everywhere... #Monsterdon
half of this lady's lines are: "Scream!"
huh, nice prop airgun!
I keep thinking Richard Demming is Robert Young, and from there I ponder Marcus Welby as a hard-ass.
Hit it with a sandal!
#Monsterdon
Poor mummy guy hoping not to get an infecction and getting caught on the fight between the machos
#monsterdon
#monsterdon "oh no these inconvenient bandages! preventing me from screaming! oh no!"
It's got kind of noir-ish, of the same genus as "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" genus.
#monsterdon
Solarbird keeps screaming: You have an axe!!!
#Monsterdon Make sure you get that paralysis juice all over your hands
Remember when poison was sold in cloth sacks? #monsterdon
@jonny I coulda sworn I saw the Creature yanking a scuba tube out with its mouth, though. #monsterdon
the Claw!
#Monsterdon
Where did they get six miles of plaster bandages?
@moira Oh sure, the Fitzcarraldo maneuver :P #Monsterdon
now they can finally wed without that weird angry blonde man brooding about
Monster arm of dooooooom #Monsterdon
Let's take all that nitrous oxide I've had stashed and use that for the spray gun #monsterdon
#Monsterdon seriously though, the best Universal Monster movie.
YOU HAVE AN AXE
Bad! Bad hand!
The claw is coming from inside the boat!
Uh guys. Maybe you should leave the boat and try and walk. Like you have s small boat. Carry that on land until you can get up stream. It won't fit many people, but there are alot less of you now. Portage~
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon
Maximum Phil Hartman
@MylesRyden The judges are surely going to take points off for stirring up excessive river dirt, but Brazil are still the odds-on favorite after a disappointing performance by the Americans
Been watching a lot of X-Files lately and these movies make me appreciate Scully's med-school "Yep, that's a dead body all right" attitude.
They seem to have already forgotten that Mark isnβt the only one dead.
Lady, you're up to three. #Monsterdon
Oh so what lady, people die doing this all the time. #monsterdon
checks off 'dudes werestling' #MonsterdonBingo
#Monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon
Well at least now David will be free to marry, she should be happy about that at least
The line "Even I, Lucas, have heard the legend of a man-fish" is just so funny to me
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon
@srol "I''m gonna tear you a new asshole with this speargun, monster. So that you have one. I'm doing you a favor."
@SRLevine @josh0 Yeah, it was a good one, but long #monsterdon
#Monsterdon well Mark, was it worth it?
Capitalism at work friends.
Well if you miss at that range I'm sorry there's just no hope for you. #monsterdon
"Smile, you son of a bitch! Are...are you smiling? Is that a smile? You're just kinda gaping at me...eh, whatever."
oops. sorry (ha) mark (hahah) um. cough.
i just got shot in the head a couple of times #3D #monsterdon
pretty good rising dead guy shot, i'll give it that
The score, the underwater fighting in clouds of sediment, I'm really impressed.
More synchronized monstering
#monsterdon not the coral!
#monsterdon what will you do if you need to reload! Mr Bond!
#Monsterdon π π¦πΈππ§ββοΈ π±
Don't twirly him, get the aqualung!
@strangefour is that the second breakfast stomach or the lunch stomach π
Harpoon Mark and befriend the Creature
Thatβs a lot of winch activity for one movie #Monsterdon
...Unless that's David, I'm still not 100% on that >_> #Monsterdon
yes, give that monster a big ol' hug!
@josh0 We did it maybe 18 months ago? (April 2024-ish). I only remember because I was at someone else's house and we did it as a group.
At last, a lover's embrace for Mark. #Monsterdon
At least this is a much more coherent underwater battle than most we've seen for #monsterdon
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon i feel like the creature could win this fight REAL easily by grabbing the guy's oxygen masks
#monsterdon being dragged under is a worse fear
#Monsterdon π π¦πΈππ§ββοΈ π±
good work Creature! You finally got a dude by the foot!
What a dick. He's harpooning the creature.
#Monsterdon
#monsterdon
Percent of this film shot underwater
I feel as though the Creature hasn't given his bite attack a fair chance, relying always on the slashing claw attack. #monsterdon
@srol opinions are like buttholes, monsters don't have them
creature doesn't bleed, more evidence that he is a dracula
You gotta be kidding. That boi healed right up with no sign of injury after getting harpooned the first time.
#monsterdon see the fishman has a musical stinger every single time because back in the day the film was so dark nobody could tell when he was on scream. *taps head*
Ooo, right inna kidney #Monsterdon
Weβre gonna bust another mast. #Monsterdon
Please donβt fistfight over the invalid. #monsterdon
"Hey! I was using that spleen!"
Not a Gillman, but a Beaver man!
