@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

#monsterdon

Quick shout out to those who enjoy the hashtag but don’t watch the movie. You are seen. #Monsterdon

@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

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

#Monsterdon #Frogs1972

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

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

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

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

#Monsterdon the animated frog 💀

Frogs got the old man! And I guess that one frog killed all 6 people in the car? Unclear

#Monsterdon

Dude shouldn't have taken the brown acid.

#monsterdon

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's feature, #Frogs, from 1972, was a ribbiting adventure where all the animals finally got hopping mad about all us annoying humans! We also had,

Due to the frogs being so peaceful during pretty much everything, tonight's misplaced theme song is:

https://youtu.be/eh-9EVi_tN8

#Monsterdon WAIT WHAT HAPPENED TO DENIM SAM ET AL

Editors messed up, grandpa scene should have been before the car scene

#monsterdon

Wait......that's it?!? #monsterdon

They're looking for the plot

#monsterdon

I've never seen a man killed via pure sfx. #monsterdon

denouement: FROGS

So it wasn't entirely false advertising

#monsterdon

This part of the script just read:

[croaking crescendos for several minutes]

#Monsterdon

He kinda reminds me of Mitch McConnell.

#monsterdon

Oh my, the dog actually betrayed his master, wow....

#monsterdon

Dog needs to either leave or switch sides real fast. #monsterdon

The frogs are calling from inside the house!!! #monsterdon

And the frogs start psychological warfare.

#monsterdon

Drunk old man is drunk #monsterdon

Three minutes left to kill off Grandpa. You can do it, movie #monsterdon

I seriously thought it was a frog calling him #monsterdon

The frogs are all "Do you have Prince Albert in a can?" #Monsterdon #Frogs

Hello this is frog #monsterdon

THE FROGS KNOW HOW TO USE THE PHONES???? #Monsterdon

Oh, now the phone works ...

#Monsterdon #Frogs1972

Frog on the record player!!! #Monsterdon

So, humanity learns that the frogs on an island have become sentient and hostile. How would humanity respond?

#Monsterdon

Do we think the dog will stay loyal or side with the Animals?

Oh the Frogs control the phones now?

#monsterdon

That Irish setter should be puking up frog parts by now

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon poor dog

slow death by frogs....

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon I swear if the lady does a Scooby-doo and turns out to be a frog in a human costume...

@ohiofi Its the 70s. We used to get a 12 gauge on our first day of Kindergarten, donchaknow. #monsterdon #generationX

@AWolfInCheapClothing@calckey.world Hypnotoad origin story! #monsterdon

This clearly has Birdemic vibes now

#monsterdon

Oh no! The Black folks are dead too!

#monsterdon

a child runs around with a shotgun, that is not normal it's like seeing children smoke....

#monsterdon

Oh, the lizard is going to help tie up your canoe

#frogs #monsterdon

He brought the frog rifle #monsterdon

once again, we come to "town," consisting of one shack

why

#monsterdon #TheFrogs

❌Use paddle to get canoe off of snag

✅Use paddle to hit snake while shirtless

#Monsterdon

[Hands the shotgun to child]

#monsterdon #frogs1972

Oh great - Bystander alligator gets shot! #monsterdon

Aaaand now he's in the same wet-clothes situation he started the movie in. He should have just told the powerboat douche to shove off. #monsterdon

NO, NOT THE PLASTIC ALLIGATOR!! #Monsterdon

This movie needs a few good piranha. #Monsterdon #Frogs

@diazona I don't know I think "paddles directly into underbrush" is consistent with "hands rifle to smallest child"

#monsterdon

Love how that shirt dries so quickly....

#monsterdon

dead body in water gives me #MonsterdonBingo!

#Monsterdon

The snakes would just get tangled up in his chest hair, anyway.

#Monsterdon

Pickett slapping snake, erotic

#monsterdon

When a snake falls on you that is the correct response #monsterdon

Those kids looking at the snake swatting like the kids watching Homer beat the Krustyburglar unconscious

#monsterdon

he said "Jesus". Snake. SYMBOLISM! #monsterdon

I knew we needed at least one more excuse for him to take off his shirt #monsterdon

Don't know the difference between frogs and toads? Great news— taxonomically, there isn't one

#Monsterdon

Dungeness Crabs?

<<throws popcorn>>
<<storms out of theater>>

#monsterdon

#monsterdon RIP, Bella, the servants, and CLINT.

Sneks: 2
Spiders (shooting a man): 1
Giant gila monster from the movie "The Giant Gila Monster" (in the shed, with a poison bottle): 1
Snakes🤝leeches: 1
Gators: 1
Birds: 3

Edit: I missed the wife's passing and on rewind it looks like it was a turtle? so add to that:

Gamera: 1

"Kids, it's July in Florida so get your coats on" #Monsterdon

“… and watch out for the frogs” which have done NOTHING #monsterdon

@apLundell Frog wrangling is hard? #monsterdon

Kinda sucks that Dingbat got a drawn-out death and Budweiser went under with only one scream.

#monsterdon

Those kids look smart. They're leaving this movie and not looking back #monsterdon

He won't have time to rewrite his will before they waste him, so get out of there! #monsterdon

Staying put might honestly be the safest thing to do.
