#monsterdon why isn't anyone checking the perimeter all the time

"Hey baby"

#monsterdon

gillman has the mother of all headaches now, and he knows who's fault it is.

#monsterdon

Two martyrs? Kay doesn't even acknowledge the non-whites who died

#monsterdon

maybe the monster can lay some eggs inside mark carcass, like in aliens franchise
#monsterdon

@Terencio "What's a guy with social anxiety gotta do around here?" #monsterdon

@Lazarou Well it's been a while since the last time he shot poison into the water. It builds up, you know. #Monsterdon

the tickle monster makes an appearance

#Monsterdon

The movie is just realistic enough that scientists punching each other can't knock them out.

#Monsterdon

Oh no, not that winch again.

#monsterdon

gillman keeps coming back for more drugs. "gimme another hit!" #monsterdon

#monsterdon I think I got bingo!

yayy, more winching!

#Monsterdon

"FART gun?! I said DART gun! Why must you be so old?!"

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

#monsterdon He needs the aqualung, and the other guy wants to watch…

#Monsterdon shoot your jizz at him David! More jizz! MORE JIZZ!

@Newpa_Hasai 🎉

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Just like Piranha

@Zerofactorial #monsterdon

"I just wanted a high-five!"

@MatthewTitus88 reminds me of drugs

#Monsterdon

Are we going underwater again

ohboy

#monsterdon

I did think he was gonna try to pull the guy with no face out through the porthole, like the window scene in The Play That Goes wrong. #monsterdon

"Hey everybody. Remember me? I'm still in the film."

The nice thing is that it's a man who became furniture, not a woman.
#monsterdon

#monsterdon another outfit change??!

David grabs a speargun and follows Mark into the water, intent on pursuing his speargun plan despite having been bested in the ring of reasoned debate *checks notes* I mean punched in the face.

David continues working the winch plan while Mark tries to speargun the Creature; meanwhile the Creature pulls him down into the depths! Speargun bolts fly, claws grab, breath runs short.

A wounded man floats to the surface of the deadly lagoon. Mark's vicious plan was his last.

  TRIVIA FROM THE BLACK LAGOON

Julie Adams (playing Kay Lawrence) enjoyed making the film and did most of her own stunts. There was a rumor that she was knocked unconscious during the required 'creature holding the damsel in its arms' scene.

But she said she only scraped her head against the plaster cave wall. Not surprising, because she had her eyes closed and the stuntman could barely see out of the creature mask.

#CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Is this really the best time to be making lemonade? And that's a lot of sugar..... #Monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

yay more drugs
#monsterdon

Suddenly it's McGyver

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon it's not a war crime if you're not in a war

why don't you just take the boat apart and rebuild it on the other side of the tree?

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

#Monsterdon

Rotenone works on the creature as if it were a mosquito?
#NoSale I ain't buiyin' that.

BUT how can we clear the impossible twigs?
#Monsterdon

11 minutes left and I ain't seen a bazooka. How they going to do it?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon
Hey, a tenure track line just opened up in the department!

Welp, looks like your romantic complications just saw a net decrease, ma'am. #Monsterdon

@Lazarou 🤞
#Monsterdon

Not with THREE barrels on him!

#Monsterdon

Oh, right in the kisser

#monsterdon

this is actually a super ambitious sequence for that era

#monsterdon

Not...THE AQUA-LUNG!

#Monsterdon

This score is doing a LOT of work here.

#monsterdon

That's some quality underwater tussle.

#monsterdon

David and Mark trade blows about a difference of opinion about plan priorities: fix the winch to try to clear the barricade and escape the lagoon and the Creature it holds, or have one man play bait while the other takes aim at the Creature with the speargun? They trade blows! Truly the real monster is man's blind ambition and willingness to endanger others in pursuit of etc etc

#monsterdon

There's eye candy for everyone who likes eye candy! Even the scalies! #Monsterdon

@SnoopJ @cherizilla

Where are the vital organs of a merman distributed? Has he been hit in the kidney or was that just grazing his third stomache?
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon

Dude just tried to scissor the creature.

#Monsterdon

Oh that's interesting. They are literally at each other's throats. 😬

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

The guy in this rubber suit is really good at swimming under water for long periods of time in a rubber suit.

#Monsterdon

The Creature really captures the glassy stare of a fish in a bowl.

And now you know what that fish would do if it could get out.

#Monsterdon

"My liver! My liver!" - The Monster

#monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

🎶 "Sitting on a park bench..."🎶

#Monsterdon

Hmmm, no butthole. #monsterdon

the poor guy in bandages is just laying there like "Do you two mind?"

#Monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

wait, why didn't the other guy go along to watch his back while he worked?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon just to be clear, we all agree gillman is naked right?

I have to say it, this is a pretty good movie.
#monsterdon

Richard Carlson uses Aqualung.
Thank god Scuba is the preferred term now.
#monsterdon

@saucerlost

Has a few samurai swords and human ears in his den from his time in the Pacific

#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ ooh thanks for putting more thought into this than the movie itself now I get it

#monsterdon

#monsterdon
"I'll have to use the Aqualung"
Whoa Whoa Wait a minute- don't start away uneasy...
#CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon1954

Somebody slap the easy button for that fist fight. #monsterdon

Mark is a murderer at home, right? Let's be real

#Monsterdon

I can confirm that you cannot be a research scientist if you have a glass jaw. #Monsterdon

oh I guess Mark is kind of a dick huh didn't see that coming

#monsterdon

Mark, just a thought, but "punching the guy you want to convince to let you come with him" is not the argument you think it is.

#Monsterdon

"I'm going to sit on a park bench!"

  TRIVIA FROM THE BLACK LAGOON

The water stuntman in costume had to take an emergency bathroom break and swam underwater to a remote spot. When he came up, there was a mother and daughter on shore.

He recalled, "they took off, and that's the last I saw of 'em!"

#CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

YES

NOW FUCK

no? dang

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

A decision to vacate the lagoon and return later, perhaps then better equipped for the mortal danger posed by the Creature, leads to a brief debate about chain of command, jurisdiction, and protocol. Captain Lucas offers a compellingly simple argument with a wickedly curved blade which concludes the matter, and the Rita heads for the mouth of the lagoon...

...only to find it impassable, barricaded as if by industrious Amazonian beavers! Or perhaps a furious Creature..?

#monsterdon

He'll be spitting out pieces of his broken luck #monsterdon

The Aqualung? I didn't know Jethro Tull was in this!

#Monsterdon

It's almost like the creature you shot and poisoned and attacked is a little mad about it

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

this movie is like Jaws if the shark worked

#monsterdon

Oh no my sticks? what on earth was that actually about?

#monsterdon

They flipped positions

#monsterdon

It's 3 beavers in a monster costume doing all the killing all along!
And now they've built a dam. Your boat is stuck now.
#Monsterdon

The monster is a Beaver
#monsterdon

Monster uses its special ability: intelligence

#Monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Has there been a horror movie yet about a peaceful lagoon creature minding its own business and then one night its home is invaded by weird pink creatures that set it on fire?

#Monsterdon

This scene needs a Martin Sheen voiceover.

#Monsterdon

This may be the most useless winch in the history of marine equipment.

#monsterdon

I compute a 40% chance that the arrogant prick gets everyone killed but Richard Carlson and the token female. #monsterdon

#monsterdon "Start your winch!" Lady: "Well i never!"

Gilman: If that's how you want to play it then it is ON. #Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

aww, he laid a trap then took out the boat, just like people would!

#Monsterdon

She sure didn't get her job because she's smart

#monsterdon

"By him!"

It couldn't have been...driftwood or anything...

#monsterdon

o noes, it's a twig!

#monsterdon #BlackLagoon1954

@CactuarJoe @Taweret

Sometimes the monster is the more sympathetic character, TBH.

Del Toro thought so!

#Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon #TheShapeOfWater

and that impresive bit of stun work gives me a #MonsterdonBingo! 😁

#Monsterdon #TheCreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

Damn!
#monsterdon

It really sucks when you get put in your place while wearing short shorts. It just intensifies the effect so much. #monsterdon

I will say not only that this costume is quite good, but also the Creature’s performers are quite good. Particularly the underwater performer managed to convey a uniquely fishy vibe while moving. #monsterdon

@Lazarou #monsterdon

"Aguirre, the Wrath of God" is an amazing movie

ha! capitan can stay as long as he wants if he promises to keep pulling knives on the jerk.

#monsterdon

I still really like that captain. #Monsterdon #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

#monsterdon
THis creature has been speared, beaten, put in a cage, and burned. But he's just gotta get on that boat.

four men dead so far

and yet, so many cast members remain.

#monsterdon

Oh wow that suit was on fire. ALOT of fire. Hope that stunt man didn't just have the worst day of his life.
