What is Octaman's favorite Kool-aid flavor? Tentacle Grape. #monsterdon #octaman

Octaman walks off carrying attractive woman in his tentacles. I think we all know where this is going. #monsterdon #octaman #hentai

@socketwench "Why can't we just get in the running car?!" --The Monster really? That's a switch! #monsterdon

Yep, we all knew this was coming. Dream of the Research Ecologist's Wife. #Monsterdon

Steve can't even row right.

#Monsterdon #Octaman

Oh, let's all split up at night. That might work.

#monsterdon

@Taweret and when we find it we'll try to shoot it because that definitely always works #Monsterdon

Ma'am. Ma'am I'm gonna need you to not walk off into the bushes with a lantern. MA'AM? MA'AM PLEASE. #Monsterdon

OH NO! Taking a small boat vs a sea monster in the dark was a bad idea. Who could have foreseen this turn of events?
#Monsterdon #Octoman

in retrospect, using themselves as bait might not have been a great idea (i actually lost track of why they went out there) #monsterdon

this would be a good rainy saturday afternoon failling asleep on the couch movie too

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Oh yeah, shoot into the water, that always works!

the scientists, equipped with the tiniest possible office max flashlights because that's all they could get their purchasing department to get them on their grant #monsterdon

Was catching up on the tag and missed their reasoning for trying to escape an octopus monster by going into the water. #monsterdon #octaman

See how dark this shot is? See how you can barely see anything including who's in the boats? That's how you should be shooting that monster suit. #Monsterdon #Octaman

#Monsterdon So you’re chasing an octopus 🐙 monster… at night, in the water…

This movie has me wondering if humans can be classified as intelligent creatures.

Oh no! I hope that's not the one he uses to... you know.
Stab people with.
#Monsterdon #Octoman

@Taweret after the crew all got fired from Turn On, they had to get where wherever they could #monsterdon

Ah we have BOATS! Or at least, A boat. Waiting on PULLED BENEATH THE WAVES... #Monsterdon

@bunnyhero
Start your thesis and submit it to The Committee this Saturday.

#Monsterdon #Octaman

this showman is a coward, i mean, a real showman would bring a giant ape to new york, not be afraid of a little octaman who is barely human sized #monsterdon

the randomness of 70s soundtracks always gets me

#monsterdon

They keep calling it a sea creature. Are they ANYWHERE near an ocean? #Monsterdon #Octaman

uh fabulous lighting #monsterdon

@trixter honestly, the winnebago is low-key the best part of this movie. #monsterdon

So did I actually see Octaman stealing something from the camp? Did we get a MONSTER IS CLEVER? #Monsterdon

@yatsu @trixter And the beginning of hard core RV camping action. #Monsterdon

If only El Santo wasn't so busy fighting the Vampire Women, this whole radioactive sea creature fiasco would have been wrapped-up in the first act ...

OH GOD PLEASE let A Woman's Place is In the Kitchen Guy get bloodily devoured. #Monsterdon

it's gone, just like the writer after this script was finished. boy was GONE. #monsterdon

ok trying to tune into this after the gumbo is on its own boiling and what i've gotten so far is that there is one cute octopus baby and one violent octopus man and that's about all #monsterdon

oh no. octaman is jelly

#Monsterdon

"mutations can be a hundred times larger than normal". that's what I like to hear!! #monsterdon

"Do you really expect to find anything in that drop of bilge?" Well, somebody's gonna hunt for the plot SOMEWHERE, my dude. #Monsterdon

That's not Cowboy, that's Sailor! Keep your YMCA members straigh... oh wait am I even saying #Monsterdon

#monsterdon The monster costume is so much better than the movie, I wonder if it's left over from some other project.

@apLundell@octodon.social
They used not-science #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “You find me that giant squid, boy, we’ll all get rich!” That is more wildly optimistic than most grant proposals.

WHY does it have bug vision?

it clearly does not have compound eyes

we can clearly see its eyes

#monsterdon

Just to add to the creature design critique here: why's it got a lamprey mouth?

#Monsterdon

these kids today with their long hair and beatle boots

#monsterdon

Octoman out for his morning walk on land. Gotta do that cardio when you are all muscle and no bones.
#Monsterdon #Octoman

#monsterdon Yes. Amazing.

This is what you want from cheazy movies.

That guitar player is gonna start belting out some Neil Young anytime now.

#Monsterdon #Octaman

octoman's primary evolutionary novelty seems to be whapping the everloving shit out of you #monsterdon

This would have been a great X-Files episode.

#Monsterdon #Octaman

i honestly love the octaman costume

#monsterdon

"You know what this movie needs? A description of what rivers are." — the movie's makers, probably #Monsterdon

every legend should be narrated in the style of Ricardo Montalban #Monsterdon

chita is indeed cheetah... that's a real nuyorican pun there if you ask me

#Octaman
#Monsterdon
#MonsterdonBingo

@blogdiva "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!" #WrongMovie #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

So this squid has "every characteristic of human cells"? How did they even determine that?

After that scene at the edge of the water, I can't help humming "Love is in the air..." #Monsterdon

Having failed to recruit the gameshow host scientist and boomer programmer scientist to his adventuring party, Sunglasses Scientist meets a cowboy and tries to convince him to join for the glory of the science.

The cowboy agrees, having recently watched a King Kong movie, thus proving how #Monsterdon makes people more willing to um... I guess do science or something. Yeah, go us!

The scene switches to an RV trip to those desert mountains where we found the freshwater octopodes.

Ah, yes, the new world cheetah #monsterdon

"We brought you your pyro supplies y'firebug!" #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon In the puffer fish laboratory, Sunglasses Scientist meets with a chief scientist who looks like a gameshow host and another scientist who looks like a boomer computer programmer. He tells the gameshow host scientist and the boomer programmer scientist that the octopuses are SUPER SPECIAL and we should study them for science. I'm not sure if he has funding any more though, the gameshow host needed to buy more goats or something.

Sucker feet! Octoman has a hell of a time buying comfy socks.
We got a decent looking monster suit. We are gonna show you EVERY inch of him in the first 10 minutes. Including dat ass.
#Monsterdon #Octoman

its not dead. its made of rubber

#monsterdon

Buh whut? Well that is way sooner than I would expect to see the monster creeping on people. I mean yeah the opening credits show off the monster. But in the dark.
#Monsterdon #Octoman

"mew mew" said the baby octopus

"CHWOOSH CHWOOSH" said the octaman

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon “Practical female.” Now rooting for Octadon to kill all the male “scientists”.

"Not without my daughter" starring Sally Cephalopod

#Monsterdon #Octaman

It was alive when you bought it #monsterdon

Octaman is all "MY BABY NO" #Monsterdon

okay this movie is awesome already

#monsterdon

octamouth reminds me of octorok from zelda #monsterdon

Geeze Rick. You could have at least made the mouth move. #Monsterdon #Octaman

"We will call you Number 2" Absolutely not. #Monsterdon #Octaman

i would not like to be named "number 2" #monsterdon

ok peeps, where are the bingo cards?

#Monsterdon
#MonsterdonBingo

"The octopus says 'mew mew'" - fisher price see n' say

#monsterdon

He's thirsty, but let's take him out the water that he needs to live and let him crawl in the grass for a while.

#Monsterdon #Octaman

Lotsa matches!
Clearly, this guy saw last week's #Monsterdon

I—you guys—cephalopods do not have compound eyes. #Monsterdon

Ok I’m actually a little creeped out that whisper transcription got [Octopus squeaking] for this lol #monsterdon

Most realistic puppet octopus ever #monsterdon

Hey there, cult film fans! Sadly, I can't watch along for tonight's Monsterdon presentation of Octaman, but I still wanted to post some new art inspired by the cult classic that I drew for the occasion! Enjoy the Z-Movie madness for me, folks!

these old 70s b movies always remind me of being a kid and staying up late watching terrible trash like this on usa or some other basic cable channel

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon more moog synth please

The scientist!

(I feel like this foreshadowing bodes ill for any scientists in this movie)

#Monsterdon

A monster named Octaman has eight arms! What are the odds! #JJonahJameson #Monsterdon

if i didn't know better, i would have assumed that OCTAMAN was a japanese toku hero a la ULTRAMAN or SPECTREMAN #monsterdon

Starting my #Monsterdon thread for #Octaman, a 1971 movie that I assume is the prequel of that one video game where an octopus is a dad and has to carry babies around or something.

@otheorange_tag @jonny In an Octopuses garden, my R.V. #monsterdon

Did tonight's #monsterdon ever explain how the OctoMan came to be?

I mean, atomic energy. Sure. But how did octopus and human get mixed up like that?

Why specifically those two animals?

@aprilfollies 🤣 His interpretation would definitely have much more narration! Call the 1970s National Geographic Society! #Monsterdon

@aprilfollies @starkraving666 "FUCK YOU, TOO." - The Writer, definitely. #monsterdon

@forestine @neia YES! Multiple Octopi-driven Winnebagos jumpin' stuff like something out of a Burt Reynolds movie! #Monsterdon

@strangefour So many TV episodes in the 70's ended up in caves. And if it was an American show it was the SAME CAVE! #Monsterdon #Octaman

Perhaps the real monster was the kaleidoscope filter all along.

#Monsterdon

@Taweret Maybe Octaman IS the RV #Monsterdon

For any new members here - if #monsterdon has clogged your feed or the local TL, you can add a filter for it (preferences > filters, add one for "#monsterdon") or you are welcome to join us every Sunday at 6 Pacific time, check #MonsterdonAlert for the announcement

Wave of the rubbery tentacle to @Taweret for this week's experience. Top drive-in movie fare this time.

#Monsterdon

@jonny Look, if I'm holding 6 days worth of farts in, and someone throws me in the water, I'm probably gonna let loose too. #monsterdon

@Taweret No "saving the reveal for the third reel" in this one. #Monsterdon #Octaman

@jonny 😂 😂 I love this so much!
We've got to have this gif be some kind of monsterdon metaphor, right? Bring it out whenever someone gets slapped down!

I'm sick laughing...I have to sign off.
