It's just a big Sea Monkey #monsterdon

Okay, slight issue but I'm on time now, so ready for the Creature!

"Dumm da da DA DA! Dumm da da DA...maybe later"

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon so when was the first rubber suit made?

monster claw dragging through the muck asmr

#monsterdon

How does the creature fit into God's plan for me? #Monsterdon

Oh wait, that claw looks like the claw they just dug up!!!! 🤯 #Monsterdon

Gimme that hand back #monsterdon ✋

well okay not wasting any time for the live specimen

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

Wow, monster introduction right away. TOO SOON

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon oh he's like the coelocanth, a living fossil!

"That's no fossil, that's my aunt!"

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

That really is a great hand.

#Monsterdon

Those danger horns are going to get old _real_ fast. #Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Sure doesn't waste any time before a monster shot!

#monsterdon

gooey.

#monsterdon

The horns over a globe have given way to biblical language and horns over explosions, which is a lateral move at best, imho. #monsterdon

COOCABURRA FROM THE BLACK LAGOON #monsterdon

"...is it important"
"You better believe it. This is the first discovery of prehistoric chicken fingers!"

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

No no, don't wait in the camp guys!

#Monsterdon

Yup. That’s fossils for ya.

Just hanging out like it ain’t nbd.

#Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial Worst of all, there was only one pair of footprints in the sand!

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

“The miracle of life begins…” #Monsterdon

#monsterdon It's a funny way to use "rapidly…”

first line of the movie: "what that is"
did nathan fielder write this movie #monsterdon

That's a very nice preserved handpaw there. Did everybody just now notice it?

#Monsterdon #CreatureBlackLagoon1954

I've seen tonight's movie for #Monsterdon. When I was little I remember staying up for the broadcast of the 3D version of The Creature from the Black Lagoon.

https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/10973-creature-from-the-black-lagoon

I remember the anticipation and the disappointing 3D. I don't recall much else about the movie.

First 3D gimmick. That didn't take long. #Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Now this is what I call backstory! "Here, life begins." #Monsterdon #CreaturefromtheBlackLagon

If this music sounds familiar, it's because it was re-used almost as much as "The Bride of Frankenstein"'s.

#monsterdon
#CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Yeek--the webbed hand!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon looks like a driftwood sculpture

"the record of life is written on the land"
tom hanks on the beach: HELP

#monsterdon

Those footprints in the sand were...confusing #monsterdon

or a weird clumping of fossilized extra crispy chicken fingers #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon ohshit they found a swamp thing

DON'T RUN WITH A MACHETE!!

#Monsterdon

Watching the miru stream and I'm a little worried since I already have a headache and people said this is supposed to be 3D.

Also kind of annoyed that the subtitles are weirdly bound to the middle of the screen and don't just stretch wider, they seem to cover more of the film than usual?

#monsterdon #creatureFromTheBlackLagoon

I’m pretty sure my history professor told me never to start a paper with “[Person] was born.” We can all take that as assumed

Dear director, I don’t think we need to start with the cooling of the planet

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon
Kookaburra in the swamp again..

That single set of footprints in the sand is where the Creature from the Black Lagoon carried you. #monsterdon

This is like "the talk" from a nervous scientist parent. "So you see Billy, bacteria can exchange DNA by swapping plasmids..."

#Monsterdon

MONKEE PAW 1954

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

Tittes! Well, masculine titties anyway.

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

And if you believe that, there's a bathroom on the right!

#monsterdon

What is it with movies from this era and Science class? #Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Okay, my #Monsterdon class, remember, there will be a quiz about all this pre-historic information after the film. #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Yeah, they left a record of their comin' alright

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

#monsterdon A Second narration??!!

They really want to get our attention on these opening credits, huh

I wonder if the people involved are regretting that

#Monsterdon

@jgamble

Peter Gabriel or Phil Collins?

#Monsterdon

In this movie we believe in science!

#Monsterdon

Batten down the hatches, people. It’s #monsterdon time again.

So set all appropriate filters or otherwise be subjected to a barrage of inane toots as I toot along to a group viewing of Creature from the Black Lagoon!

We just pivoted from olde testament to science so fast the Universal logo got spun off its axis.

#Monsterdon

The record on the right is written on the left????!?!

#monsterdon

oh no the quest browser doesnt auto scroll to the top. #monsterdon

Turns out the bluray version includes 3d capabilities? Assuming you have a 3d bluray player and appropriate glasses, which I didn’t even know existed let alone have.

Anyway, it’s off with some heavy horn work over a globe, which is how all movies should open. #monsterdon

This movie is already banned in 5 US states for that 5 billion figure.

#monsterdon #creatureFromTheBlackLagoon

#monsterdon Love these old Sci Fi themes
🎶 trombones go 🎶 tromBONES GO 🎶 LOW BRASS GO

Oh and now we have someone reading us the King James, early Sci-Fi alright...

@amyfou
She is a treasure

@cherizilla

#Monsterdon

The miracle of life? You mean fuckin'!

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

So, our story begins during the Late Heavy Bombardment?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🌊 🔦🐸🐊🧜‍♂️ 😱

this narration really starts from the beginning

"And it was without form and void"

My mom: "And then he blew it up! Didn't like it."

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

#Monsterdon

We start with Genesis, and follow up with evolution? Mixed message here.

Come on come on. Too much world building. Skip a bit! #Monsterdon

If we're starting at Genesis 1:1, settle in, sisters misters and gender resisters, we might be here for a while

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon no! it's a science movie!

Talk about setup

#Monsterdon

So I've never seen this film before, but my elementary school library had a bunch of books that basically told the stories of classic black and white films using big glossy photos from the original films. This was one of them.

I wish I could remember the names of those books. They had hard cardboard covers and were bright purple. #monsterdon

This is the Earth before the Fediverse #monsterdon

Maybe we could skip ahead a bit?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon
Thus endeth the Bible lesson.

The narrator, quoting Genesis, and shit is already blowing up.

Gee, you can tell this was intended for 3D.

#Monsterdon #CreatureBlackLagoon1954

#monsterdon get fish'd idiot

Then God apparently threw up violently. #Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

This is the planet Earth, as it appears in 2025. #Monsterdon

Missing monsterdon while getting food 😭 #Monsterdon

And the Earth was without form, and void. Mostly because God blew it up.

#Monsterdon

And the earth was without form and completely made of black cats.

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

#Monsterdon I'll take your word for it, narrator dude.

the original sin, this movie.

#monsterdon

@Bluedepth Or perhaps they're watching along

#Monsterdon

Damn they're starting with enough exposition

#Monsterdon

This was widely unpopular and considered a bad move.

#monsterdon #creatureFromTheBlackLagoon

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon is this a church movie?

ob christian shit so the christofascists don't riot in the cinema

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

#rootpost for #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🌊 🔦🐸🐊🧜‍♂️ 😱

Holy cow @cherizilla 's bingo card has a CFTBL stampy shape!

Kinda of a bummer that all these people are dead #Monsterdon

Time for possibly correct scientific exposition #Monsterdon

Oh great - we're starting at the beginning

#monsterdon
#CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

A Dick Flick?

A motion dick pic?

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

JACK!

#monsterdon

We had Egyptian food for dinner. *erp* I think I had too much mushroom shwarma. *erp* Wobbling around like I'm ... food drunk? Is that a thing?

Anywhoop, time for #Monsterdon

@ysengrin Going to mooch over here tonight if you don't mind! (will untag you after this)

#Monsterdon

mmmmmm, pre-synth spooky sine waves

#monsterdon

Did Universal use the same music for all their monster shows? #Monsterdon
