That oar is not dissolving. I don't think there is much basis for complaint. #monsterdon

That pipe reminds me of beaver deceivers! Sometimes if a beaver is doing a very good job of making a wetland but you need it to do a slightly worse job, you put a pipe in there to let water flow through.

Beavers are very good at finding beaver deceivers and plugging them.

We're in for an hour and a half of gripping photojournalism behind the scenes folks #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Les Baxter!

Thsi movie certainly delivers Frogs. #monsterdon

@moira ribbit

#Monsterdon

Def gonna be a dead letter carrier up in there. #Monsterdon

Sound Mixer: John Speak! LOL #monsterdon

This is what happens when you put the frat house in the swamp.

#Monsterdon #Frogs #🐸

Is....is this guy Sam Elliott?

#monsterdon

How can such a cute sound of nature be turned into something so scary?
#Monsterdon #Frogs

Baby doll jump scare? #Monsterdon

Babies are notoriously polluting. Oh no, just a doll. Not quite as bad. #monsterdon

That title sting was loud (and surprising)—appropriate for a horror film, I suppose.

#Monsterdon #Frogs1972

#monsterdon After this, Baxter went on to score the SeaWorld attraction in Florida.

Yeesh.

Chekhov's toxic waste runoff #Monsterdon

I'm so excited - we're going to get "Electronic Effects" !!

#monsterdon
#Frogs

babydoll in the water
music: dun dunnnn !!
#monsterdon

There's a legend of a beer in these woods... #Monsterdon

That clicking to still credits is pretty effective. #Monsterdon

The red canoe against the swamp foliage is very aesthetically pleasing

The junk less so

#Monsterdon

what is this bozone doing doesn't eh know there are frogs !?!/ #monsterdon

#Monsterdon This will be some strange southern Lorax thing. Right? ;)

Joan Von Ark kinda adds a prime time soap opera flavor to the movie. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon sometimes you eat the frog and, well, sometimes the frog eats you

Look at all that paper! #Monsterdon

REMINDER! ECO DISASTER MOVIE! have some trash. #monsterdon

ooo the opening credits of this #Monsterdon are in that kinda proto-comic-sans font that means it'll be a gooder

And here we see the wild pollution in its natural habitat
#monsterdon

Some things never change, litter in the wetlands.

#monsterdon

Styrofoam and steel poptop cans those were the days huh!

#monsterdon
#frogs1972

Is Joan Van Ark a discount soldier-saint?

#Monsterdon

Uh oh... there's trash in the water... #Monsterdon guess that's what sets the frogs off?

Sponsored by coca cola #monsterdon

#Monsterdon pull tab beer isn't on my bingo card, dang it.

Clean up in marsh 8! #monsterdon

Our first product placement - Coca Cola (as floating trash)

#Monsterdon #Frogs1972

Is this going to be a movie with an environmental message?
*discarded Coke Cola cans and baby doll*
Yep. They got some stock footage from Godzilla vs the Smog Monster almost.
#Monsterdon #Frogs1972

And Adam Rourke as "Clint" is already good vibes.

#Monsterdon

Uhh great opening title!
#monsterdon

Unfortunately I am not herp-savvy enough to ID these beautiful creatures we're seeing! #Monsterdon

Shot on location at Bill's Road-side Wildlife Preserve!

#monsterdon

“Clint” is more suspicious than just Clint #monsterdon

it's just freeze frame, but somehow putting it at the beginning of the film makes it so much worse. #monsterdon

The footage is pretty chill, but what if we put stings of music over the top of it! #monsterdon

There are too many non-frogs here... Or maybe new frogs? #Monsterdon

Ah yes, the eco-horror movie of the 70s. We should do Night of the Lepus, which has giant rabbits. #monsterdon

He's stalking the wild credit sequence. #Monsterdon

holy shit, Shelley Duvall is in this? I love her!
#monsterdon #frogs!

that's...quite the sting. someone's having fun with the stock SFX library. #monsterdon

Love the dramatic music for the Frog

#monsterdon

Why. is "Clint" in quotes? Does he not really play "Clint"? ? #monsterdon

We're in the Okefenokee Swamp (or some place like it), but the music would make you think we're in space.

#Monsterdon

Representing Lemmy, Mastodon's fediverse sibling! #monsterdon

Sam Elliott! Oh boy, my favorite character actor whose politics I try really really hard not to think about! #monsterdon

whoa what a synth sting!

#Monsterdon

I love me an American International Pictures production!

#monsterdon

it could be 35mm. which means wide-angle in film tiems. Every picture's alt-text is SWAMP.

#monsterdon #TheFrogs

Boy that frog sure was scary! #Monsterdon

Scientist spotted, or just a guy who likes taking nature photos?

#Monsterdon #Frog1972

Sideburns! And we’re go! #Monsterdon

Lens angle of view not matching still shots.

#monsterdon
#frogs1972

#monsterdon Right out the gate we get a cameo of the Gila Monster from The Giant Gila Monster. 🎶 ...and the lord said laugh, children laugh...

Joan Van Ark. That's dutch for Joan With Ark. #Monsterdon

CURSE YOUR BITTER HEART, AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL PICTURES!

WHY MUST YOU CONTINUE OUR SUFFERING!?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon frog

ok fears assuaged, the jump scare on the normal looking frog is all i need to see to know i'm in the right place for #monsterdon

You know, if I wasn't so scared of going broke, I would love the life of the photographer.

#Monsterdon

Somebody put a lot of thought into designing that MPAA rating notice

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon well i *did* see a frog in the first minute of the film

#Monsterdon evil… uh.. amphibians…?

Frog: affirmative
#Monsterdon #Frogs1972

#Monsterdon gratuitous tounge

🎵 Why are there so many songs about rainbows ... #monsterdon

Snake color matches the canoe - fashionable! #monsterdon

American International film. I feel like that logo is suggestive.

#Monsterdon
