So far I am really rooting for the creature, he seems pretty shy

#Monsterdon

Unchanged for millions of years is pretty impressive for a non-crab. #Monsterdon

oh, so it's a vampire too?
#monsterdon

can't be photographed... creature is a dracula

#monsterdon

I can’t help but feel audiences had a lot more time in 1954…

#Monsterdon

He doesn't show up on film. He's a Vampire Gillman! #Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

What have you found?

Why it’s a creature, a creature from the black lagoon…

Smart ass!

#Monsterdon
#CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Devonian....*drinks*

#Monsterdon

HELLO?

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

What about the coelacanth? #CreaturefromtheBlackLagoon #Monsterdon

OMG if they say Devonian one more time, i'm gonna lose it

#Monsterdon

rrrrrreach

#Monsterdon

Yeeeeees, we did get a mention of diving safety. I was worried. #monsterdon

just for once, i need to see a film where folks wearing makeup in danger and heat DON'T reapply. Instead we see it slide off their faces like a mask
#Monsterdon

Shouldn't he be developing prints in a darkroom? #monsterdon

You humans are so slow, I can outswim you doing the back stroke.

#monsterdon

Time to see if Gillman has a defensive Blur Filter like a proper cryptid. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon that cigar isn't even lit he just likes the flavor

I want everyone to call me "Crazy Goolie".

#monsterdon

@brooke It's ok, Apparently it was Jaws all along. lol #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🌊 🔦🐸🐊🧜‍♂️ 😱

but she was NOT crazy, you see.

When do we get to the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance?

#Monsterdon

Aw, poor creature ☹

#Monsterdon

Dude just shot the “greatest find yet”. Asshole.

#Monsterdon

Ah yes, that's why he's so familiar. Richard Carlson was the star of The Magnetic Monster (1953), which is a very odd movie. #monsterdon

"...it appeared to be human! Well, except for the webbed feet, webbed hands, fins, and gills."

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Oh, wait, have we been presented with Chekhov’s bend prevention?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

First a net and now a spit with no tranquilizer in that tip. He's GOTTA be PISSSSSSSED!!!

"That was no human gill man!"

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

@SnoopJ @rebeld ohhh I see what you mean

Yeah that'd be interesting too!

#Monsterdon

I love how underwater monster movies have large sections with no talking whatsoever.

It's obviously just a consequence of the kind of movie it is but still interesting. I also like how large parts of the end of Dark City is just 2 fellas leaning towards each other and concentrating really hard...

#Monsterdon

need some black ichor seepin' outa that wound

#Monsterdon

Chekov's nitrogen bubbles in your bloodstream.

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Chekov's spear gun barely had an effect on our sexy gillman. His abs are too cut.
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon

#monsterdon
As someone pointed out: turns out the real monster is man.
As per usual.

I feel the Creature was unfairly targeted for political reasons #monsterdon

@paco Thank you for your service to the greater #monsterdon memeiverse

Got him right in the kidney. #Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

zomg 3D spear #monsterdon

@SnoopJ @rebeld lololol yes (ideally with people's consent, but I would definitely be in)

#Monsterdon

Dramatically turning and flippy flapping in a different direction underwater isn't as dramatic as it probably sounded in the script. Just looks silly.
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon

This underwater exploration scene. We really still had attention spans in 1954, didn't we.

#Monsterdon

" Hey, have you seen Nemo? or Marlin? 42 Wallaby Way Sydney? No. Thanks anyway. "#Monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

Something actually happened, and the music barely cared.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🌊 🔦🐸🐊🧜‍♂️ 😱

oh noooooo

#monsterdon poor gillman's been speared. I'd be terrified if that happened to me

Turns out the real monster is man.

#monsterdon #creatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Should've put a rope on your spear. Now you'll never get it back.

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

RIGHT in the pancreas

do gill men have pancreases?

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

well, i suppose the upside to these boring underwater sequences is that we don't have to listen to the guys talk 🥴
#monsterdon

Swimming Underwater: The Movie

#monsterdon

I like how all these guys are dressed like 20s seals. #monsterdon

Damn asshole funders. Is this so we hope for him to die? #Monsterdon

swim SWIM like you have a man in a rubber suit chasing you!
#Monsterdon

Mark is a dick, and cannot handle is underwater harpoon cannon.

So a ineffectual dick too.

#monsterdon

@YsengrinWolf Why must he be a teenage merman in love...

#Monsterdon

Still better than Aquaman. Sorry, Momoa.

#monsterdon

The soundtrack is trying to hard with it's one song. It's almost ruining this for me.
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon

I missed a lot of film making this meme.

#monsterdon

🐟 TURN DOWN YOUR LIGHTS 🐟 I said! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon what a graceful gillman

@whiskeysailor

#Monsterdon
Yeah, I remember those were really good! Especially for the era.

(I'm not watching tonight, but I've seen it)

EXPLOSION

of plant material

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Oh, NOW that creature's GOTTA be pissed about that net.

This horror film could have been a Jacques Cousteau documentary.

#Monsterdon

@jivens lol

#Monsterdon

i am impressed that 'leave nature in its natural habitat alone" made it into this movie, and infuriated that it's still a pressing topic.

#Monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

The underwater level is always a pain in the ass

#Monsterdon

The thing about shooting a film for 3D is, with or without 3D, the special ooo-look-at-the-effect shots stand out as weird and stilted. #Monsterdon

I see weed

#monsterdon
#CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

I got my batch all lit up. like it?

#Monsterdon

Really appreciating all the different fishies

#Monsterdon

That's a weird ass underwater flashlight.

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

I guess it's the black lagoon mating season with synchronized swimming
#Monsterdon

I do wish I had the 3D glasses for this one
#monsterdon

Sea Hunt (In color).

#monsterdon #creatureFromTheBlackLagoon

lol, oh good, MORE underwater scenes....

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon
Let's go diving in the rip through a net and leave a tooth lagoon.

time to go pat an eel, i guess??
#Monsterdon

This is just Archie and Reggie fighting over Veronica but with a lagoon monster innit? #Monsterdon

Tiny bubbles...
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon well, that bubble scene alone probably justified the 3D.

@Princejvstin nice, I was wondering!

#Monsterdon

bubbles shot for 3d

#monsterdon

"This is my harpoon. There are many like it, but this one is mine...."

#monsterdon

Orchestra's on break. Nothing unpleasant is going to happen till everyone's back #monsterdon

Filmed in a time when a lady doesn't even glisten, and even Creature fears to touch her.

#Monsterdon

The underwater scenes are really a stand out
#monsterdon

Here we go again. Theoretically, something has to happen at some point.

#Monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie LMBO!!!!! Alas, not one was alive to sue him. #monsterdon

No homophobia, please.

"You sound like a big gay munter"

#Monsterdon

@LingLass incredibly graceful #monsterdon

We're going to need a bigger African Queen knock-off.

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Gill-man swimming backwards reminds me of a cat scooting around on its back, pulling itself along by pawing rhe underside of the furniture. #Monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

Well, he *is* a white guy.

#monsterdon #creatureFromTheBlackLagoon

@jonny Oddly enough in this one, the gillman had no air tanks or even hoses. They didn't want bubbles coming up from it.

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

It's nice of them to give us a character like Mark who is totally gonna die.

#monsterdon

Hey, I don't have to let nothing alone so long as I have a harpoon! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

Mark’s real name is Chad #Monsterdon
