I love how all the black people are like "Oh, huh, rise of the toad gods again. Guess it's time for all the white people to die horribly."

They KNOW

#monsterdon

OK, now it's the birds

#monsterdon

"Just get the hell away from that crazy White People island as fast as possible!"

#monsterdon

So far the toads, err, frogs, have only sent in their proxies to do the killing. Smart toads, keeping their hands clean.

#monsterdon

so just stay in the house and don't wander around the bayou like idiots

#monsterdon

Really not hard to see the parallels between this rich old white dude not dealing with the situation while others not under his sway are done with his bullshit.

#monsterdon

So far 5 dead and now we have to leave

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

#monsterdon After being menaced throughout this entire scene by snakes and a couple of frogs, are we to believe that she is about to be done in by some scrubby underbrush and a couple of large leeches!? This is inexplicable.

edit: oh wait, no, whoops, snake got her! Right on the wrist, apparently, death instantaneous. And now a crocodile is getting in on the stalking-unpleasant-rich-people game!? (Wait, crocodile or alligator? I can't tell.)

#monsterdon Can you imagine being the person on set with the job of hucking that enormous bullfrog into the center of that american flag sheet cake

*hup*

_frog looks pretty dazed_

"OK, cut, that's good. Frog wrangler, you're up, make sure he's OK and clean that icing off him"

Wait... are the toads INSTIGATING the other reptiles to attack humans? Like, evil telepathic frog MASTERMINDS???

#monsterdon

*Angry synthesizer intensifies*

#monsterdon #frogs1972

@Taweret stay safe friend

#monsterdon

The first hostile action of the frogs is starting to rival the Aztec Mummy for delayed onset.

#monsterdon

If you remove all the stock images of critters just chillin, you only got 10 minutes of movie left. #monsterdon

loving how outraged most of the reptiles in this movie are

#monsterdon

"I don't want to spoil your day, but something's got to be done about that body"

In the Deep South they just leave the bodies for the frogs...

#monsterdon

This film came out 9 years after "The Birds"

#monsterdon

OnlyFrogs. ™️

#monsterdon

one might say that whenever the frogs are full screen i am.... ribbeted #monsterdon

lol, the rich dudes kids awaiting his death with glee....

#monsterdon

Is no one in this movie aware that this is ALWAYS what it sounds like when you're in a place that has frogs? Like, this is exactly what my neighborhood sounds like in spring at night. It's not horror movie, it's normal nature.

#monsterdon

The first scream!

Snakes on a Chandelier. This movie is just crying for Samuel L. Jackson involvement.

#monsterdon

lol @ the little frogs on the window, bless...

#monsterdon

@EmptySet Tennessee Williams would shoot himself before writing this dialog.

#monsterdon

it's early yet but so far this is not a terrible depiction of "Black woman visits strange wealthy white family" for the period

#Monsterdon

Yikes! Weeping Frogs. Don't Blink. Blink and you're dead. Good Luck!

#Monsterdon

Oh hey. Cinematography. Good use of foreground.
#Monsterdon #Frogs1972

Awks with the Black houseworker standing next to the rich brother's token black girlfriend.

The frogs are right to end this White Nationalist nightmare, perhaps a vision of the future as some are saying?

#monsterdon

@JoeWynne #monsterdon
What could they possibly have considered more essential to the plot than quicksand?

So far this is actually hitting all the right campy notes #monsterdon

Of COURSE the phone is dead

the frogs did it

dun dun DUN

#monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie

* croaking intensifies *

#monsterdon #frogs1972

The REAL monster was litterbugs!

#monsterdon #frogs1972 #frogs

Improving this movie by imagining that the names in the credits are referring to whichever reptile happens to be on screen at the time

#Monsterdon

I came for frogs

I had better get frogs

These are not frogs

#Monsterdon

that young lady is clearly on amphetamines. #monsterdon #wrongFrog

unfortunately they're not overcoming the soporific effects of this movie... @starkraving666 #monsterdon #wrongFrog

Shelly Duvall is SO COOL #monsterdon #wrongFrog

#monsterdon Don't get in! She's 50 frogs in clothes!

I mean, I'm glad Mitch McConnell got eaten by Kentucky cane toads, but what the hell was all that?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon *phone rings* "it's the frog"

The final 5 seconds of the film was the absolute best. This was hilarious.
#monsterdon

@Copperplate @Taweret Slithis. Slithis! SLITHIS!!!! #monsterdon

(I am only rooting for this movie because it has been the underdog in every poll for months. It must be TERRIBLE.)

next week i'm voting for manos

go ahead

try me

COMMON HOUSEHOLD ACCIDENTS (1972) #Monsterdon

The frogs didn't kill anyone directly.
The children live... maybe?
Great animal photography though.
Great cartoon frog, but not enough of him.
#Monsterdon #Frogs1972

A ribbiting experience. A lot of people croaked. This movie really got me hissed.

Thanks @Taweret for.. uh... whatever the fuck this was. I think.

remember, suffering shared is suffering multiplied. or something.

#monsterdon #frogs

@SnoopJ I'm choosing to believe that they planned to end it on the frog zoom-in in the car, but then the writers were like "fuck, we have to kill Grandpa though, everyone hates him at this point we gotta do it" #monsterdon

he just...got stressed and threw himself onto the floor..
#monsterdon

The moral of the story is when they tell you the problem is frogs, it isn't really ever frogs #monsterdon

Wait, what? They just climbed over him and he died of pure animus towards frog kind?

How did they turn off the electricity?

#Monsterdon

*Tying strings on my #Frogs1972 murder board trying to figure out what this movie was supposed to be about*
📌 Pollution
📌 Racism
📌 Invasive Species
📌 Alcoholism
📌 Hitchcock
📌 Biblical Plague
📌 Telecommunications
📌 FROGS???

#monsterdon

WHY THE CARTOON

#Monsterdon #Frogs1972

...Okay thank you Hanna-Barbara. #Monsterdon

how nice... of the frogs to... turn out the lights??? #monsterdon

So, death by frogs in the butt crack? Seriously? That's the climax? Well, I mean, whatever you're into I guess. #monsterdon

AFTERCREDITS CARTOON FROG!

#monsterdon

Don't answer it! The phone lines are down! It must be a trick! A FROG TRICK! #monsterdon

So he dies from panic attack. Again, not the frogs' fault #monsterdon

Frogs in his pants! That's lethal

#monsterdon

Did the frogs intimidate him to death?! #Monsterdon

HAH. The frog stopping the phonograph is cute.
#Monsterdon #Frogs1972

croaked the frog "nevermore"

#monsterdon

@Louisa *croaking voice* is your refrigerator running?

#monsterdon

Trapped in a dark house with frogs trying to get in! THIS IS WHAT THE REST OF THE MOVIE SHOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE!

#monsterdon

There's a dog!? Why didn't anyone tell me there was a dog!? Please do NOT tell me the dog gets eaten by the frogs. 😢 #monsterdon

okay that zoom in on the frog should just ended the movie

that would've been epic

#monsterdon

oh no if the film ended with the zoom-in on that frog i was going to scream

#monsterdon

"Can you kindly give us a lift?"
"Sure"
"OK, sec wait let me get my gun"

#monsterdon

Sure, wet stranger with a shotgun, get in my car.

#monsterdon

"HOP IN" I can't #monsterdon

#Monsterdon I need a map of this island because it really looks like they should have canoed further than that

LOOK OUT FOR THE SPANISH MOSS

#monsterdon #frogs

🚨 SAM ELLIOTT SHIRTLESS ALERT. 🚨
#Monsterdon

Up frog lake, without a paddle?

A paddle suddenly appears!

#monsterdon

not so giant enemy crabs? (working with gamera, naturally)

#frogs #monsterdon

No. Milland took all his roles seriously.

“Do what you can with what you’ve got. I know actors from my generation who sit at home and cry, ‘Why don’t they send me any scripts?’ I tell them, ‘Because you still think of yourself as a leading man. You’re 68, not 28. Face it.” - Ray Milland

@davesdogmaggie #monsterdon

@moira Aztec mummy vs frogs

#Monsterdon

If Grandpa unzips his human suit and is a frog underneath, it would redeem this movie. #Monsterdon

Grandpa is actually being the smartest guy here by wanting to stay inside #monsterdon

YES! SET FIRE TO YOUR OWN HOUSE! THIS IS THE BEST PLAN!

#monsterdon

This feels like the steamroller scene from Austin Powers.
#monsterdon

Burn the house, Sam!

#monsterdon

BURN THE WHOLE HOUSE DOWN! Yes!

#monsterdon #frogs1972

So what DID happen to Clint's wife, does getting your leg stuck in mud and watching turtles kill you?

#monsterdon

Tiny fart bubbles destroying the last vestiges of Clint's dignity as he dies. #monsterdon

SNAPPER! #frogs1972 #monsterdon

oh no, did water moss get him?

#monsterdon

The frogs overrunning the pier would be creepy in a better movie

#frogs #monsterdon

Mocking Lizard cut the rope!
He's one of Frog General's top agents

#monsterdon

I'm starting to think FROGS was false advertising

#monsterdon

OMG in another version of this movie Iris dies at the hands of a BUTTERFLY by QUICKSAND, apparently

#Monsterdon

I think we've seen these ten frogs before.

#monsterdon

whoever is tossing those frogs onto each other has to have been thinking, "I have the weirdest damn job"

#monsterdon #TheFrogs

(Meanwhile, at a police marine facility nearby)
Stephen: Where you headed?
Officer at Police Dock: Down river. We got an idea maybe we can make it to the island!
Stephen: What Island?
Officer at Police Dock: Any island!

#monsterdon #dawnofthedead

Show of hands, who wants to leave? #Monsterdon

been hit by a snake? better call saul

#monsterdon #TheFrogs

so other swamp creatures kill people while the frogs watch and laugh

I think that's what it is

#monsterdon
