Mister Michael, can I have your corduroy pants after you die?

#frogs1972 #monsterdon

baby caiman.... another snake... STILL no lethal frogs.

#monsterdon

He's going out to ... check the cable 😐

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

as it stand, I am a middle class white idiot from a marshy area in the mid-Atlantic whose family used to have a little cabin on the town reservoir and background frogs are a little nostalgic for me, although my memories are of bullfrogs or spring peepers #monsterdon

Why didn't you?

So, this is a porn movie after all, sorta.

A blueballs porn movie.

#monsterdon

Ok, whoever is dressing the women in this movie is doing a brilliant job. I love nearly every outfit #Monsterdon

THAT's not a frog EITHER. JFC this movie #monsterdon

look, movie

you can't just keep showing me footage of toads just sitting there not doing anything like that builds tension

they're just toads sitting there

#monsterdon

@paco "Riker Before The Beard" #monsterdon

Sam Elliott: “Sometimes you eat the frog, and sometimes, well, sometimes he eats you”

#monsterdon #frogs1972

so the frogs' plot is to bore us to death?

#monsterdon #TheFrogs

Ribbiting intensifies .....

#Monsterdon #Frogs #🐸

I left my mustache at home and just ain’t doin right #monsterdon

I started taking pictures in 'Nam. You know that one of the naked girl burned by napalm? That's one of mine.

#monsterdon

things happen in this movie at some point tho right?

#monsterdon

"What if nature were trying to get back at us?" pretty much sums up a whole genre of films in the 70s

#monsterdon

For dinner? Snek surprise! #frogs1972 #monsterdon

#monsterdon Second fatality! That poor little snake. It didn't deserve to be taken out with a revolver for the crime of hanging from the dining room chandelier.

There came a gentle rapping. A tapping upon my chamber door.
Quote the frog, "Eat the rich."
#Monsterdon #Frogs1972

Clearly the snake is a method actor "I'm going to need real frogs against the window while I hang here from this chandelier looking terrified"

Oscar nom for the snake, I'm sure of it

#monsterdon

Holy shite, he shot it off the chandelier.

#monsterdon

pulls out gun

I AM SLAIN

CAN'T
STOP
LAUGHING

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon I’m kinda all on team frog now. All the humans have to go.

"That noise is driving me insane" —my thoughts manifesting aloud as movie dialogue

#Monsterdon

“Mostly they croak at night… mostly”

#frogs1972 #monsterdon

Oh hey. Bechdel test passed. Because of the old Monsterdon classic, COFFEE.
#Monsterdon #Frogs1972

#monsterdon Welp this movie just had its first fatality, but there's nothing to imply that frogs were responsible. Grover might have just slipped and hit his head on a tree root for all we know.

He's not dead, he's just got a skin condition. #Monsterdon

I wonder who the frog wrangler is…it’s the kinda job that keeps you hopping.
#monsterdon #frogs

Okay is this movie Snakes or Frogs?

#monsterdon

This seems like a missed opportunity to get Samuel L Jackson involved, "Get these MF frogs off this MF island!"

#monsterdon

well there goes the local biodiversity 😞

#monsterdon

@helianthropy lol, I noticed that perfectly aligned selection of coke bottles too! #monsterdon

Let's put phytoestrogens in the water to make all the frogs gay! #monsterdon

Getting real “I want my cake!” vibes from wheelchair guy #creepshow #monsterdon

Frogs are playing the long game

#monsterdon

do gorgons exist in frog lore

#monsterdon

OMINOUS FROG STATUE

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon obviously seeing one man pat another man’s belly like that was conspicuously queer so, points…?

Loser hall of fame, still talking about his high school trophies #monsterdon

"Hey bud, lets er, get changed together and I can show you my trophies....do you like movies about Gladiators, Smith?"

#monsterdon

This is so porn setup. #monsterdon

...This scene is supposed to be intensely homoerotic, right? #Monsterdon

is this an interracial relationship??? a) wow! nice! b) they are definitely gonna be the first to die aren't they... #monsterdon

Mrs. Roper here.

#monsterdon

lol, rich families are so weird.
This island has Saltburn vibes, and frankly Pickett Smith can Saltburn all these fucks.

#monsterdon

I can tell you this: if I'm ever a multimillionaire grandfather, you will NOT see me dressing in a suit and tie just to have breakfast.

#monsterdon

@Taweret Toads! Didn't market well

#monsterdon

A guy talking up how large the frogs are? Are we sure he's not actually one of us?

#frogs #monsterdon

Ha! Ray Milland - the poor-man's Jimmy Stewart.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon There sure are a lot of frogs in this walking-across-the-lawn scene. Almost a little... _too_ frogs.

I wonder if those frogs will become important later?
#Monsterdon

“We don’t like strangers around here.” #monsterdon

Oh, it's a sad day when a canoeist doesn't know how to get back into his flipped canoe.

#monsterdon

Of COURSE he's her brother #monsterdon

I'll bet this guy bits it first! #monsterdon

Beer. Speedboat. Nature is reeling.
#Monsterdon #Frogs1972

Surprising lack of used condoms in this water trash....

#monsterdon

#monsterdon IT'S FROGSERING TIME

Oh, it's #monsterdon time.

Looks like tonights movie Frogs (1972) isn't on Pluto Canada, but perhaps just the USA version of the app. Luckily it's on YTube though, so checking that out.

Movie is rolling!

wait, is this the origin story of the frog from Warner Brothers? #monsterdon #wrongFrog

@cshlan actually, yeah, I’m thinking #monsterdon -specific account as well. It was all going by too fast.

@ramsey @diazona @SordidAmok Yep. The lady in the car said they'd been driving for *hours* and not seen another living soul. The implication, I think, was that nature had been turning on people *everywhere* not just on that island.

So quite likely no-one survived, they just left that ambiguous to the viewers. 🤷‍♂️

#Monsterdon

@patioboater
I saw it in the 70s, too. But if I would have warned people how bad it is, they wouldn't have believed me.

#Monsterdon

@ottaross I always label dangerous chemicals "POISON" with no other information and store them on high shelves in breakable containers #monsterdon

'Not the way I fantasised being covered in frogs.'

#monsterdon

@roque I think the consensus is they didn't survive. The luggage strewn about on the ground at the end implies this.

#Monsterdon

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting such a quaint look back at the early 70s, when the inbred rich were being picked off by the reptile & spider army commanded by the frogs.

#Monsterdon #Frogs1972

@r343l lol, her mouth opens and she just vomits frogs and deflates....

#monsterdon

@nev We loved the frogs croaking ending credits! We laughed a lot. #Frogs1972 #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
These frogs are SNEAKY! Not a single murder can be pinned on them!

Here's the filming location: Wesley House in Eden Gardens State Park in Florida. Rentable for weddings if you want to get married at a place where a bunch of frogs killed an irascible Southern patriarch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eden_Gardens_State_Park #monsterdon

@ApostateEnglishman the Frogs are Psychic but the movie forgot to tell us about that bit.
#monsterdon

Grimy 70s animation frog!!!!

I'm just a frog
Yes, I'm only a frog
And I'm murdering in Crockett isle bog 🎶

#Monsterdon

So Pickett started a new life with his new wife and kids in a land far away, where there were no frogs.

#monsterdon

[fish chattering]

excuse me, WHAT?

#monsterdon

Did the frogs judge the old man to death?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "hop in" i see what you did there

#monsterdon the several seconds of silence then frog-croaking in crescendo is actually pretty good for the ending credits

I guess the family fucked off into the mainland (and possible future frog-lead deaths). The frogs... well, they don't have to fuck off anywhere, this is where they live.

Thanks everyone, you made it hilarious.

#frogs #monsterdon

So the frogs finally got to kill a human by...driving the old man crazy and smothering him I guess I dunno

Plus a random cartoon frog got to eat a human too?

THE END

TIL that, at least as monsters go, frogs are the absolute KINGS at outsourcing. Thanks for the hot and humid and plotless #Monsterdon @Taweret !

FROGS RULE!

@SordidAmok Ah gotcha, sounds like a plausible assumption. (I missed the luggage)

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon FINALLY?

Oh c'mon the hell where did this dog come from what kind of asshole brings a dog into the movie right before the end where they edit: I've been informed the dog is actually in cahoots with the frogs. This is now the official story.

I feel this film raised more questions than it answered.

#Monsterdon

No actual frogs were killed or did any killing in a horror movie called Frogs. OK.

#Monsterdon
#Frogs1972

I feel like the posters lied

#monsterdon

okay, the animated sting was the most interesting bit. END MOVIE. #monsterdon

Florida man stays at home, dies by frogs (toads, mostly).

#Monsterdon #Frogs1972

thanks all for another great #monsterdon and to @Taweret as always for hosting!

Well, it was not a sudden end, at least
#monsterdon

wow so that was terrible

this was literally the most boring film we've ever done. yes i am including the one where it was literally 70% re-used footage.

#monsterdon #TheFrogs

Hey, an animated after-credits scene.

#Monsterdon

Finally - a frog did something... even though it was animated and post-credits

#monsterdon
#Frogs

That was *weird.* #Monsterdon

Did you all see that? The little cartoon at the end? Or did I lick a toad? #Monsterdon

That was terrible. Amazing amount of reptile photography, but yeah, terrible. #monsterdon

Oh I get it! They croaked him to death. He croaked!

- fin

#monsterdon

I feel like *this* is the actual movie that inspired the Birdemic director. #Monsterdon
