Bet that lagoon is gonna smell great with all those dead fish floating around.

WHITE MAN EXPLORING HIS TERRITORY

>:(

#Monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow

But much, much louder this time.

#Monsterdon

I wonder what kind of powder they used for that shot, given that it floated so well. Gelatin?

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Do you think this creature remembers this traumatic event that just happened 3 minutes ago? Nah

#Monsterdon

okay, nope they can all die now. litterbug.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon LADY WTF ARE YOU DOING LITTERING

It's great how everyone on this big wooden boat has a cigarette

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Captain: Here I show you this fish catching nerve potion.

Reaches into bag with bare hands.

#monsterdon

Creature: “Please don’t litter the lagoon with your cigarette butts!”

#Monsterdon

@strangefour

Wait till you see what he did on the pissdeck!

#Monsterdon

That's a nice shot with the "smoke" trails. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🌊 🔦🐸🐊🧜‍♂️ 😱

no. no paralyzing the fisharoos they are my frens

Ah, the captain is sharing his stash.

#monsterdon #creatureFromTheBlackLagoon

My god! That puddle is ...
blood I guess??
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon I actually know a guy who speaks like this captain naturally and it's killing me

#monsterdon
I have a feeling that this creature can remember the past and more.. you mean he can remember the future?

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

  TRIVIA FROM THE BLACK LAGOON

Stephen King says this is the first film he can remember watching.

#CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

@diazona @TrishEM I came in late, but yes there don't seem to be other women, but the one is a knockout and yes she does look likeJennifer Connelly. #Monsterdon #CreaturefromtheBlackLagoon

@strangefour ok, don't make me tap the sign:

"NO PISSING ON THE POOPDECK
OR POOPING ON THE PISSDECK."

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Is Mark getting over a bad breakup or something, jeez #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Demon? Gillman? Merman?
If a Merman, then Ethel.

@strangefour Is that better or worse than pooping on the pissdeck?

#Monsterdon

The Creature reminds me of the Sea Haunt from Johnny Quest. #Monsterdon

@starkraving666 Well, he's in a dorkroom #monsterdon

Monster: once again guys I AM RIGHT HERE #Monsterdon

@srol #monsterdon

yeah they were always snoozing and the Captain would wake them up once in a while.

let me guess: dynamite

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

#monsterdon The #SuddenStringSection is underwater. That's gotta be wild, all that fine laquered wood, in all that wet… no bueno... NEED MORE ROSIN! ;)

At this point the orchestra is looking at the composer like "Lemme guess we're going with Duh Duh DUUUUUUUUHHHH" again? #Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

I leave for a few minutes and the men have gone and harpooned the creature.
#Monsterdon

"There are many strange legends in the Amazon."

And this is one of them. I'm Joe Friday. #Monsterdon

The detail on that suit STILL looks freaking amazing.

#Monsterdon

This is one of my top five favorite campy monster movies!
1.) Them!
2.) It Came from Outer Space
(Monster movies set in the desert rule!)
3.) Creature from the Black Lagoon
4.) War of the Worlds (1953)
5.) The Blob

#Monsterdon

fucking sombra and her goddamn scuba gear

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

It's so nice to hear a scream that isn't a Wilhelm scream. AN authentic original heartfelt scream of terror. Music to my ears.
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon

So the creature is from the Demonian era.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
fwamp-fwamp-FWAAAAAMP!!!

Oh no, Chico #monsterdon

They speared Gillman? That's just going to piss him off!

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Have Zee and Chico always been here? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon that man is NOT latino

"What proof can we find if we don't find any?" Well can't really argue with that. #monsterdon

I like that the Gillman's whole mode of attack is "grab a guy." :P #Monsterdon

What proof will we have?

Monster: You want proof, I’ll show you proof!

#monsterdon

The music is just beating the crap out of us.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon How do you not hear something with webbed feet walk the deck

they really do kill the Brown characters in this movie off first, don't they?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🌊 🔦🐸🐊🧜‍♂️ 😱

the Creature has cute feet!

"For a merman he takes a fine picture"

Imagine what he could do if you gave him a whisk or a screwdriver

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

awww he was hugged
to death
#Monsterdon

His leg appeared in the porthole and someone belatedly had to wake up the orchestra #monsterdon

Maybe we should be calling the gillman the Devonian man?
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon

People, remember to pull the ladders up on your boats, lest you get gillmen.

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

you're gonna have another opportunity, camera boy, don't worry.

#monsterdon

It's a vampire gillman!

#Monsterdon

Gill-man shuffles on land now.

#Monsterdon #CreatureBlackLagoon1954

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

HELLO?

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

Devonian....*drinks*

#Monsterdon

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

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

#monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

#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

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

#Monsterdon 🌊 🔦🐸🐊🧜‍♂️ 😱

oh noooooo
