From Wikipedia: "In pre-release prints, Iris (Holly Irving) died by being pulled into quicksand by a giant butterfly, rather than by snakebite"

WHY DID YOU CUT THIS, THAT WOULD'VE BEEN AMAZING #Monsterdon

@ottaross also, if I see broken glass on the ground with suspicious off-gassing I run towards it instead of away #monsterdon

Shelly Duvall, Elliott Gould??? This can't be the WRONG Frogs!? #monsterdon

@roque The luggage was ambiguous. But if the whole point was that everyone dies due to white colonialism, we didn't need frog witnesses to tell us that. #Monsterdon

I'm traumatized already just seeing thos frogs again! #Monsterdon#WrongFrogs

#monsterdon Well, I think that *could* have been a decent movie if they'd leaned into a sort of Yellow Wallpaper thing, with the frog croaking slowly driving people mad.

@roque I think consensus is no, but it was not clear

#Monsterdon

I am still unclear on whether the black people survived #monsterdon

#monsterdon Honestly kind of liked it. Really leaned into revenge of nature and didn't try to explain too much.

Oooh good deal only 17 Euros for Food of the Gods and Frogs 1972 soundtrack, but yeah... nevermind. I really just wanted the single for "21. Fourth Of July March 3:01"

So frogs really hate July 4th birthdays. Is that it? #Monsterdon

So ur with ur whiskey and yur getting drunk wen the phone rigns. U anser it n the vioce is "?" U tell ur dog n she say "the phone is ded". THEN WHO WAS FROG?

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou More dignity than this cast deserved, tbh #Monsterdon

That's another #Monsterdon in the can! Thanks @Taweret for hosting, @Cherizilla for organizing bingo, and everyone else for making it fun!

#monsterdon The frogs messing with his record player: a clever form of torture.

my biggest question is how the editor stayed awake long enough to make a complete print

#MonsterdonChores #MonsterdonWarningPost

also, i really did put literally every piece of action in this whole movie into that THIS WEEK ON MONSTERDON animation I made

#monsterdon #TheFrogs

Move every frog, for great justice.

#monsterdon

@Violinknitter People didn't watch movies in the 70s. YOu were either making out in the back, watching people make out, or playing on the swingset in front of the drive-in movie theatre screen. #monsterdon

@kevinbowrin some of Ralph Bakshi’s best work! #monsterdon

An honor to be nominated. #Monsterdon

All of y’all saying that the post-credit cartoon frog is eating a human, did you learn nothing from watching this movie? Frogs don’t do anything!!! That’s 100% a glove.

#Monsterdon

The closeups of taxidermied animals evoke Count Dracula (1970) #Monsterdon #Frogs1972

@diazona @SordidAmok Yeah. The implication was that the frogs (or whatever) got them, too. That was sad.

#Monsterdon

@riedlr Well, the rich young woman may be the heir to everything now with Ray Milland's poisonous character dead, so I'm not shocked they didn't try harder to get the Coast Guard or Animal Control or whomever to intervene. #Frogs1972 #Monsterdon

That's a wrap. Not gonna stick around for Wrong Frogs, and won't be around for next week's, hopefully it's _not_ Yeti.

Thank you @Taweret as always.

Till we toot-along again.

#monsterdon

So back in the 70s people paid actual money to watch it? Unironically? Without live-posting with their friends?? #Monsterdon

I wasn't planning on visiting Florida, and now I'm REALLY not planning on visiting Florida.

Also, unnecessary post credits animated frog?!

#Monsterdon

@morganmay@octodon.social

#monsterdon #frogs1972

#monsterdon

Is it the frogs calling him..?!

#Monsterdon chekov's gas pump, please please explode it soon

I'm glad to see an early Sam Elliott film. He played that Sam Elliott character well. It was a very Sam Elliott take on Sam Elliott.

But... he really needs that stache.

#Monsterdon

I'm just assuming the frogs crawled inside every open hole on the Old Bastard and hollowed him out from within.
In much the same way old sailors used to butcher Whales, through the anus first....

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon pre-emptive strike against the gator!

#Monsterdon 🐸 🐸 🐸 🐸 🐸 🐸 🐸 🐸 😱

They should have to credit every animal who co-starred in this picture. Those water monitors were compelling! The frogs were very believable! The snapping turtle of death was truly terrifying!

Much better acting from the critters than from any of the humans.

thank you @Taweret @Cherizilla @JoeWynne and all you find #Monsterdonians for making this a fun adventure!

Hug a frog/gecko/water monitor/snakeroo/tarantula/killer snapping turtle for me if you can!

Sam Elliot's *acting ability* in this movie got him a starring role in Lifeguard (1976).

It’s like they’ve set the scene. Now I’m waiting for the movie to happen. #Monsterdon

Well that... that was terrible. Shot in Florida huh. That tracks. Thanks to @Taweret for hosting. Shouldn't have trouble sleeping tonight. That one's knocked me right out. #Monsterdon #Frogs

Good old AIP. I guess that was about what we could've expected.

#monsterdon #frogs

Well, we ran out of film so the movie's over. 'Course we ran out of story a few minutes back, so things just kinda ground to a stop.

#Monsterdon #Frogs1972

On the plus side, no more racism ranch july vacations.

#Monsterdon

And… Grandpa would’ve been fine if everybody else hadn’t left. But he was an asshole, so anyway. #monsterdon

This was a movie. But the rich died! Good for the frogs and friends! Thanks @Taweret for hosting and everybody for joining #monsterdon

Moral of the story:

Never enter a staring contest with a frog!

#monsterdon

Legitimately cannot decide if that ending counts as abrupt in my book.

This was a really good #Monsterdon pick. Not so bad that it isn't any fun to watch it, but not particularly good anywhere through except in fits and starts, and in its individual acting.

Have a nice night, y'all!

Well, unlike many of the people in that movie, we survived. Thanks @ryan for the stream and @Taweret, as always, for hosting!

I kind of want to see an edit that is just the animal footage, with soothing music overtop.

#Monsterdon

Lenny the frog be just like "Call him again, George, that was amazing, did you see him jump?!"

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon * long exhale through nose *

Roll credits, aka the wall of shame.

#monsterdon

Well I think the Animals were in control of the whole game from the start, props to the Frog General whose master plan really put's Humanity's schemes to shame.
MVP to the Mocking Lizards, for the Chemical Attack and Boat Sabotage.

#monsterdon

The frogs, the snakes, and phones... All the animals are turning against us.

#Monsterdon

Was not expecting the cartoon frog in the credits #Monsterdon

Boom! Abrupt Ending!
#monsterdon #frogs

OK, and that's it.

Thanks everyone for helping identify animals and how to be safe outside!

Big thanks to all the participants and @Taweret for continuing to run the madhouse that is #monsterdon .

Smell ya next week! :D

Lights out. Nicely done. Still not really scary. #Monsterdon

@whknott that's usually what happens around butt cracks....climax. #monsterdon

The frogs are using some kind of sonic attack! #monsterdon #frogs

Credits frog?

#monsterdon

The call is coming from inside the frog pond.
#Monsterdon #Frogs1972

Did they kill him by sitting on him? How did that... What do... Really, movie? #monsterdon

Grampa is the kind of guy who converted all his wealth to cash, put it in the house, and would burn it all to spite his "disloyal" family. Got it.

#Monsterdon

end credits frog rap!

that was fun, thanks folks! #monsterdon

#monsterdon This film should have been entitled "Bad Acid Trips, or: The Disapproval of the Frogs" (1972)

Uhhh... so what happened to Bobby, Colonel, Sam's open shirt, etc. etc.?!?! #monsterdon

THE FROGS GOT ONE! #monsterdon

Kudos to the Frog Wrangler, I guess.

#Monsterdon

The frogs are just playing "King of the Milland"

#monsterdon
#Frogs

#Monsterdon

"What's your dog's name?"

"Fluffy"

<on phone> "Mom, how's Rover?"

<reply> "Ribbet-Rover's just great! Ribbit."

"Your dog is frogged."

@sean "the frog says: dieeeeee"

#Monsterdon

OMG the large-mouth bass makes a sound like FLIPPER?
#Monsterdon

THAT IS NOT A SOUND FISH MAKE

#monsterdon #frogs

"You should count yourself lucky, Mr. Pickett! This was once a thrill only Roman emperors could afford!"

#monsterdon #TheFrogs

@apLundell surrounded by the heads of all of his own murder victims no less

#monsterdon

Suddenly turning into Night Gallery. #Monsterdon

Frogs 1, Birthday Boy 0

#Monsterdon

Are they just killing him with noise?!?? #monsterdon

it is clear that the frogs are telepathic from the way that they are the boss and they were able to kill the old man with their minds #monsterdon

@nev i think the looming of the trophy heads is proof that the whole movie is just a hallucination induced by frog skin venom

#monsterdon

...Are they ribbiting him to death? #Monsterdon

@Lazarou yayyyy #TeamMonster

#Monsterdon

The frogs hid his heart medicine! #Monsterdon

And I suppose this is a frog, too, right movie? Rotary dial frog?
#monsterdon

Okay, we gotta get our money's worth out of these animal sound effects we bought...
#monsterdon

Whoever wrote this must have had a real bad childhood experience with the spinning toy thing that played animal sounds when you pulled the string.

#Monsterdon #Frogs #🐸

This is just like that movie Magnolia

#monsterdon #frogs1972

the frogs put toad skin hallucinogen in his drink #monsterdon

#Monsterdon "what sound does a fish make?" "Kinda like a bird I guess?"

So that's two films we've seen that took time out to shake taxidermy at the camera. Which isn't a lot, but etc etc etc #Monsterdon

oh no the doggo 😢

Maybe he'll get adopted by the frogs

#Monsterdon

The fish made a goat noise I can’t #monsterdon

it's kind of a cool portrayal of the guy going nuts #monsterdon

this whole movie is gramps hallucinating after a stroke the day before his birthday, isn't it

#monsterdon #TheFrogs

Why did the bass make dolphin noises?

#Monsterdon #Frogs1972

The circle of life… #Monsterdon

ominous taxidermied animals still better than the ominous taxidermied animals in that one terrible dracula movie we watched #Monsterdon

Ray dialed F for FROG!! #monsterdon

Ooh. Who hooked up the phone? They’re everywhere …#Monsterdon

the dog said, eff this! #monsterdon
