#TeamCrab

#monsterdon

If only they had a giant nutcracker thing #monsterdon

Holy fuck, that guy is feeling crabby.

#monsterdon
#mysteriousisland

Flip it over for MASSIVE DAMAGE guys! #Monsterdon

If only they had some melted butter and some garlic!

#monsterdon

Don't you dare kill the black guy first you crustaceous son of a bitch!
#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

Wait, what was that music from (or, could have been)? Fantasia?

#monsterdon #MysteriousIsland_1961

the eyes on this crab are great

actually everything about this crab is great, what an effect! Harryhausen does it again!

#Monsterdon

"I've got crab legs!" - Crabbe

#monsterdon
#mysteriousisland

Dudes, you're about to red shirt the black union soldier, very bad fucking form.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Nooooooo! Not Neb!

is this man a journalist named spilitt....??????

#monsterdon

tie up the legs with your snowspeeder

#monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

"Course I love your biscuits
And your gravy too"

#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland2012

#monsterdon They never expected this at the Tangy Crab!!! How do you make enough butter sauce for something like this! And then the leftovers!

okay the effects are bad ass actually

#monsterdon

We have achieved stop motion, everybody. Please keep your arms and legs inside the cabin. #monsterdon

GIANT ENEMY CRAB

#monsterdon

Got crabbed? That's rough buddy. #monsterdon

Anybody else hearing the Star Trek fight theme right now? #Monsterdon

Would fighting a giant crab (and surviving) make you less likely to eat crab in the future? maybe go vegetarian?

or would you want to eat crab MORE, as revenge?

Hmmm.

#monsterdon

These special effects are actually pretty amazing for 1961. I’m impressed. #Monsterdon

:aCrabDance: :crabknife:

#carcinization #Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

On Mysterious Island, the inhabitants are crabby #monsterdon

Still better CGI than Twilight #Monsterdon

In Soviet Russia, crab eat YOU

#Monsterdon

OH CRAB! CRABTACULAR!

#Monsterdon

why is he trying to use his spear like a baseball bat instead of trying to stab

#monsterdon

CRABBE!!!
#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

ACRAB #monsterdon #mysteriousisland1961

So here's this giant enemy crab...

#monsterdon

Time for crabfest, baby #monsterdon

Judging from the color the crab is pre-boiled for convenience #monsterdon

Giant crab!
#Monsterdon

That's a bad case of crabs.

#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

Oh I will be mad if you kill the black guy first -_-; #Monsterdon

CRABBBBBBBB

#monsterdon

We got crabs!

#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

#monsterdon
Yes, crab time.
Malibu was wild in the 60s.

Yup, that's a volcanic geyser. The volcano is probably active too. It'll probably blow before the end of the movie.

Checkov's Volcano.

#Monsterdon

Then again they appeared have already done a lot of crafting now they have to do the survival 🦀

#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

You don't need to do anything to make a crab look horrible besides show it close up

#Monsterdon

"Some day, your descendants will all evolve into meeeee!" - Attacking Crab

#monsterdon
#mysteriousisland

CRABE!!!!!

#monsterdon

Don't need a geyser to have a waterspout like that necessarily (reminds me of the Oregon coast) #monsterdon.

Who wants a dungie for dinner?

#monsterdon

WE HAVE GIANT CRABS

REPEAT

WE HAVE GIANT CRABS

#Monsterdon

Food dilemma resolved. #Monsterdon

Look how much water is flowing over that waterfall. Does that EVER happen on small islands? Where is the water coming from? #monsterdon

Typical. One sea voyage and now they got crabs. #Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

welp, there's dinner, only question is, is it for the humans for the crabs. #monsterdon

HOORAY GIANT ENEMY CRAB! :D :D :D #Monsterdon

HELL YEAH

#monsterdon

finally something actually weird happening

#monsterdon

here we GO BABY GIANT ANIMAL TIME #Monsterdon

These people have obviously never played a survival crafting game before

#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

oh no

the crabs on this island have people

#monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

#monsterdon CRAB

"Going where?"

"To hunt for food!"

No shit, you're literally holding a spear.

#Monsterdon

This scene makes me think of high school drama class. "Pretend you're walking really high up on a giant tree to cross a very high gorge..."
#monsterdon

@ColesStreetPothole that one guy's coif is still perfect though #Monsterdon

#monsterdon The other side of the island... Cleveland.

A rendezvous? ♪Cap~tain!~♫ #Monsterdon

So instead of going around the level even Beach perimeter of the island, they spend all day on a dangerous Trek across the island for nothing?

#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

@YsengrinWolf my thoughts exactly! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Who do we think is Ralph, Simon, Piggy, and Jack? #MysteriousIslandOfTheFlies

Geysers, nature's bidets.

#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

They can’t tell the difference between whales and geysers. #Monsterdon

Oh, he’s from Wales. #Monsterdon

Geysers are basically land whales.

#Monsterdon

Nice matte painting
#Monsterdon

why would these men know the existence of fiji or new zealand

#monsterdon

I love this film score #monsterdon

Oh no. The compositing of backgrounds is okay, but the green screening is ROUGH.
#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

I have yet to see one of these stranded men drink a single ounce of water.

#Monsterdon

They're gonna find Mr. Echo and the tailies any minute. #Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

oh god the other side of the island

that's where the castaways always get into trouble

#monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

The Captain looks EXACTLY like Jack from L O S T.

#Monsterdon

"When a man builds a house, he intends to stay."

-- Captain Wisdom

#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland2012

woof, that hiking camerawork

#Monsterdon

The composite shot of them crossing the matte painting giant log is pretty good.

#monsterdon

i think El Dorado took place on this matte painting? #monsterdon

"...it was as if nature had gone wild."
"That's literally what nature is. The wild."
"I just read the words, kid."

#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

Interesting trees. The rare Green Screen Tropical Oak. #Monsterdon

Careful, you'll fall into the stock footage and be swept away.

#monsterdon

5 minutes of everyone challenging the captain's authority to no effect

did we really need that though

#Monsterdon

the matte paintings do look good. I';d hate to see them upscaled though #monsterdon

do they actually have green sceen movies yet because I didn't think so but I don't actually know. I think it's all rear projection

much like today's conservative politics

#monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

Crossing some treacherous #mattepaintings in this movie

#Monsterdon #MysteriousIsland

Why isn't he trying to spear a cockatoo? #monsterdon

why do they need to cross that?

#monsterdon

"Walk carefully over the gorge!"

"....But it's only a model."

#Monsterdon

#VegetableFinder is a Very Important designation in a survival party don't ever forget that #Monsterdon

Except for the incontrovertible evidence that there was at least one other person on the island, who had built a fire, we were sure that "man" had never set foot on this island...

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Unironically loving the painted landscapes

@jonny you’re in the wrong hashtag, Jonny. #Monsterdon
