Ah, now we're bating the bear with human cubs. Clever! #Monsterdon

Carnival open?
Yes.
Everybody coming?
Yes.
#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

Uh-oh, he'll have to turn in his forest ranger badge

This is what you get for being a ranger on the edge (of the forest)

#Monsterdon

His rifle is from WWII

#monsterdon

Ranger Horse grabbed an M1 rifle and tried to shoot the bear, but because everyone who grabs a gun in this movie has to drop it, he drops it. Then the bear knocks over his watch tower and mauls him. RIP Ranger Horse.

This scene reminded me of the MS-DOS strategy game Warcraft II, where your orcs could knock over watch towers by hitting them. Only instead of orcs, there was a bear.

#monsterdon

"He's not listening to you, Kelly. Because you're a maverick. And he knows it."

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

I note that the bear didn't even bother to eat the guy in the watchtower after pulling it down

Like, he's clearly just showing off now

#Monsterdon

Conventional weapons are useless against Bear!
#monsterdon

Aww he's waving. Hello. 👋
#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

UFO noises in the soundtrack for the watchtower, huh

that's a choice

#Monsterdon

1100 men went into that forest. Only 317 came out.
#monsterdon

Meanwhile on the #BearFeed the bears are just chilling with some ducks

EVERYBODY JUST CALM DOWN AND MAKE A SMORE!

#monsterdon

Man in lookout

*13:00 hrs: Still a forest

#Monsterdon

People killed by bear in this #monsterdon so far:

Flannel Girl
Bikini-Shirt Girl
Makeup Girl
(Non-Murder) Bear Cub

From the current rate, I predict 4 more bear murders, plus or minus 20.

"A herd of grizzly" BRO WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?? #Monsterdon

Clearly the bear has drone technology

#Monsterdon

Why are you hugging that wild bear cub that came into your camp at night?
How dumb are you idiots? Were you drinking moonshine from a cursed still?
#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

Since we had the angry park ranger scene, we get another Bear scene, where a grunting bear sneaks up on some sleeping hunters. But it is not the Murder Bear, it is simply a normal bear, and a baby. not all bears are murder bears. #notAllBears

Because they are jerks, the hunters decide to use the bear as live bait, and its gets eaten. RIP baby bear.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon The bear leaves a sign on a tree. 'Ho ho ho now I have a rifle'

These men utterly deserve the mauling coming to them...

#Monsterdon

When I was a little kid I would've given my entire He-Man collection for one of those - what are they - the open top Suburbans? I loved those things

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

Kelly: "Now you listen to me. While you've been sitting there on your fat ass, I made this forest part of me. I made sweet love to every inch of this forest. There's not a single tree that hasn't enjoyed the touch of my gentle caress."

#Monsterdon

I want to pet the belly.
#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

For the next montage, a bunch of unorganized militia (random hunter dudes) have arrived to try to hunt the bear. They are more numerous than I'd expect, as they have at least a squad worth of riflemen.

But they failed to do the buddy system and so one of them, named Orange Hat Man, runs off on his own; he sees the murder bear but drops his gun and runs away, dunking into the water and floating down river.

#monsterdon

His rifle is from WWI

#monsterdon

I can't believe the bear is chasing him. I mean he didn't even take his clothes off yet. #monsterdon

The hunter becomes the hunted?
"NO, HUNTING!"
#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

Bear is just chewing the scenery

#monsterdon

#monsterdon The best way to hunt is with a bunch of hunters all within fifty feet of each-other and shouting at the top of their lungs.

The Bear Movie Cycle:

A pretty girl does something
Murder Bear kills the pretty girl
Everyone Screams
The Park Rangers have an angry conversation about the Murder Bear
Montage of people doing outdoors things.
(cycle repeats)

#monsterdon

I love how the bear kills that last lady, and she's doing that whole “flying lady" thing like she's leaning over the front of the Titanic or something. LOL!

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

@Taweret This "grizzly" is 2x the weight of a typical Kodiak(!)

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

@diazona It's doing it for political reasons

#monsterdon

Pretty sure the bear isn't killing for food anymore, it's just trolling

#Monsterdon

Schlitz was the hillbilly movie beer in the 1970s

#monsterdon

I hear ✅ Cricket Sounds!

#MonsterdonBingo #Monsterdon

A lot of people don't know this but Grizzly was controversial because the bear was actually played by a shark.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Don't chew on ice cubes! You'll crack a tooth!

"You better have another drink"

70s mental health care

#Monsterdon

They need to put up a 'check waterfall cave for grizzly bears before entering' sign at the very least. #monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

🐻🩸 TRIVIA BEAR 🐻😱

Ranger Gail, who gets fully undressed before "soaking her legs" searching for a killer bear, was unsurprisingly August 1976 Penthouse Pet of the Month and 1977 Penthouse Pet of the Year. So in Bear parlance, "nuggets".

#Grizzly

Oh how unBEARable #monsterdon

#monsterdon LOL at the tinkerbell chimes on the bloody water. Who chose that sound effect?

I wonder how this film really feels about women. #Monsterdon

MOVIE TRIVIA: Grizzly was released 1 year after the movie Rocky Horror Picture Show and is essentially the same film, but with a bear instead of Tim Curry

#monsterdon

"I really don't care."

I'm just that horny. #Monsterdon

He knows every bear personally, he's like a Stonewall phone book. #Monsterdon

Be pretty cool if the grizzly went on a rampage in Manhatten

#monsterdon

...I joke but I kind of expect that will happen eventually. #Monsterdon

campers running in fear of their lives?
not Tokyo, but ok
#monsterdon

...So the pastoral soundtrack for this panicked evacuation is...? #Monsterdon

@nev holy shit bear feed rules. #monsterdon everyone open a second tab to bear feed

“I want that bear arrested and tried for murder!”
#monsterdon

Jaws came out the year before and was a huge hit. This is a low budget attempt to ride the big scary animal trend

#monsterdon

It wasn't a bear it was just a serial killer. No cause for alarm. #monsterdon

"Why the hell wasn't I notified!?"

...And YOU are??? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Grizzly When my Dad was a mortician in Anchorage, one of his "clients" was a guy who had been backhanded by a brown bear. Just stood up out of a berry patch & smacked him, no claws. The front of his skull detached along the sutures and moved a couple of inches to the side. 🤢

Meanwhile the other park rangers are doing a thorough search for the other missing person, like one of the ones where you get like a squad of guys to comb the woods. Anyway, they didn't find the body yet and its night time. Ranger Girl is searching for places to take photos at, even though its at night. I guess she has a night camera or something.

Anyway, then she trips on mud and lands on the Flannel Girl's body, then screams in Abject Shock.

#monsterdon

Has he bear-i-caded himself inside the shack? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon we thought the Grizzly tore down the whole shack, but apparently it only broke the 4th wall.

Need the Hulk to throw that bear around. #Monsterdon

"remember, we're probably not looking for a full body"

Captain Optimism there

#Monsterdon

Who wins?

#Monsterdon #Grizzly

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest won the best picture statue at the 1976 academy awards, #monsterdon

Bears often store their kills in the rafters

#Monsterdon

Okay, so this movie is already much more entertaining than I expected

#monsterdon

What story does this face tell?

The story of an actor who never got another gig.
#monsterdon

Given that you're paying for film, wouldn't you want to be really careful with your shots compared with us in the digital era?

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

What story does this face tell ya?

Lung cancer.
#monsterdon

Lol swiped her arm clean off!! Welp

#Monsterdon

that scene was hilarious, and nothing can make me think otherwise.

#monsterdon

Ah yes, the notoriously stealthy grizzly bear. #Monsterdon

Next, the girls have decided to go camping because this is a park; and I think the Ranger Girl is in flannel because she's a lumberjack and/or bisexual.

Something startles them, and the audience expects it to be a monster, but its actually the ranger whose name I don't care about, who is riding them a horse and telling them to be careful. Thanks Ranger-Forgot-Your-Name! That's good advice in a horror movie!

#monsterdon

Dad you can't just keep giving away wine and dressing like a transparency layer

#Monsterdon

god I LOVE 70s dialogue. Before the horror hits, they signal normalcy by everyone being nice to each other. Today it's always F words. For those of us with foul fucking mouths. #Monsterdon

lol, I can't wait for these people to be eaten

#Monsterdon

When did they start casting attractive people in movies? Clearly it was after this. #monsterdon

@Taweret Maybe it was on sale? #monsterdon

sex people

#Monsterdon

Why does this intro look and sound like the start to the Bob Newhart show, but one where he slaughters his guests?

#monsterdon

Look the helicopter was really expensive so we're gonna use the fuuuuuck out of the footage from it. #monsterdon

I am putting Grizzly on but once again I am still in the middle of all the crap I can only get done on the weekends (working tomorrow, of course).

With you in spirit! 🐻

#Monsterdon

Film Ventures International! We sell peaches by the side of the road, too

apparently

#Monsterdon

I kinda like their hair extensions tho

#monsterdon #WrongGrizzly

Their music is what drove the grizzly insane.

Why are bands rehearsing while the stage is still being built?

That thing about the park ranger's wife in Yellowstone in 1978 or so was true. She was attacked by a bear while jogging, and they just let people right on in. I remember somebody saying she was menstruating and the bear smelled blood, but I don't know if that was true.

#monsterdon

What? The photographer actress, who disappeared was a screen writer for a ton of soaps, plus "She co-authored with David Sheldon the sequel to "Grizzly", which was filmed in Europe with George Clooney, Laura Dern, Deborah Raffin, Louise Fletcher, John Rhys Davies, Steve Inwood, Deborah Foreman, and Charlie Sheen. The production was not completed and the existing footage was pieced together crudely and released in 2020." Heck! #Monsterdon

@diazona it's actually in a fetish club, you'll be managing the emotional needs of some very hairy men. #Monsterdon

You know, the worst part of this movie is that the bear didn't eat that jackass politician.

#Monsterdon #Grizzly1976

@floatybirb I blame Disney

#Monsterdon

working on an ethics application on Monday morning while seeing the Sunday night vibes of #monsterdon come through the fedi is enough to induce jet lag without even having to travel 🤣

They really left us hanging about the bunny.

#monsterdon

Grizzly 2 was filmed in 1983 but not released until 2020
#monsterdon #grizzly2

One last post: Grizzly 2 looks AMAZING and I would never have known it existed if not for #monsterdon. I wonder if SBIG has ever done this one. ...and now I want a beer.
