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

Oh! They’re Jedi frogs. #Monsterdon

Okay, a gator is legit scary

#frogs #monsterdon

That frog watching the lady die like

#Monsterdon #Frogs1972

The other animals are doing the all killing. The frogs just chillin, feeling smug about it all. #monsterdon

WHAT. NOW SHE’S A ZOMBIE #monsterdon

Gramma is not having a good eco-tour afterall

#monsterdon

so, woman who apparently collects butterflies goes into woods, is terrified by nature, and now she'll die. okay. #monsterdon

hey #monsterdon

Gramma is going to go head-to-head against the moss?

#monsterdon

oh no that butterfly is up to something

#monsterdon

So, what's the body count now?

2? 3?

I lost track

#monsterdon

Has anyone made the "he croaked" joke yet, cause he's dead #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe It's a victory dance... on his face!

#monsterdon

The frogs discuss the lizard's successful attack

#frogs #monsterdon

Good thing that greenhouse had bottles of poison waiting to be tipped over.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon *iguana knocks two jars marked "poison" off a high shelf in the greenhouse*

aww they're just like cats

Geckos gonna geck him to death? #monsterdon #frogs1972

"Iris went off after a butterfly"

Is that Deep South for "Iris is smoking meth in the shed again"

#monsterdon

#monsterdon DID THAT BUTTERFLY JUST GROWL

ANOLES ARE NOT SCARY.

#Monsterdon #Frogs1972

OH GOD NOT BUTTERFLIES #monsterdon

Thank you, super hammy death scene! BINGO #monsterdon

It's Revenge of the Spanish Moss. Are we watching the right movie?

#monsterdon

“Lousy sky frogs!” *blam* #monsterdon

This movie sure has a lot of reptile dysfunction.

#Monsterdon

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

Don't drink and boat

#frogs #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

@Cherizilla Okay, looking more closely, it looks like his own gun goes off. Did he shoot himself? The angle looks wrong, but I suppose some ricochet or debris scattering could have happened.

#Monsterdon #Frogs1972

@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

what if there were toads on your lawn and they didn't do anything

in a theater near you
