Cowboys vs Octopi!
#Monsterdon #Octoman

This is where we learn that Octaman is actually an Octodad!

#Monsterdon #Octaman

now don't forget to break off a stalagmite in case you need to beat the shit out of your android replica #monsterdon

a surprisingly large number of the cast is still alive. #monsterdon

@trixter Bad monster suits, plastic baby Octopi toys, a bit of racism, some overt sexism and now Octaman is killing people for taking its babies. And good luck trying to figure out where this thing is taking place. #Monsterdon #Octaman

I bet the Donner Party talked like that too #monsterdon

the sound track to this movie is basically "put Star Trek TOS in a blender" it's amazing #Monsterdon

Throw a damn ping pong ball in his mouth. It's the perfect size for it and his mouth is just open waiting for it.

#Monsterdon #Octaman

Is it daytime or nighttime?

#monsterdon

When you're a cowboy, the solution to every problem is horses. #Monsterdon

@floatybirb I bet the rest of the party was thinking "When is THAT gonna come in handy?" when she picked that bonus feat. #monsterdon #octaman

what happened to the baby octopus that octaman carried off in the beginning?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Gosh, the octopus monster could have gone into the forest or the lake. Which could it be?!?

"...by the power of Jazz Hands, I compel you!"

#Monsterdon #Octaman

#monsterdon every time i turn around to tend to my stew there are these exposition scenes that i'm completely miss and the first one i catch is this guy explaining how all octoman wants is love and is horny for pain

#monsterdon you can't just break out a graflex to take a picture like that and not have spinning newspapers immediately afterward, boo

Monstrous Fact: Gremlins 2 featured a clip from OCTAMAN, but called it by another name. Just a slap in the face pf the auteur who made this movie!

#Monsterdon #Octaman

@Taweret natural habitat #monsterdon

@Taweret justice for Octaman! #monsterdon

Is the Science Winnabego ok?!?

#monsterdon

@joewynne I think Octaman has heat exhaustion. #Monsterdon

This monster suit is amazing. #monsterdon #octaman

Man, shoutout to the actor in that suit, it takes some balls to stand THAT close to an open flame in a suit like that. #Monsterdon

Man *I* don't like that light. Turn that shit off! #Monsterdon

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

There we go. We have the classic monster wife caring a woman away for... monster reasons.
What do you mean he doesn't like light? Dude is sunbathing every day.
#Monsterdon #Octoman

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

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

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

#Monsterdon no toy boats so far, but we get a real boat... a little rowboat that we're using the invade the #Octaman lair... which is the water I guess.

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

And OH HEY I have a bingo. :D #Monsterdon

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

@floatybirb Wait! What about “Scientist stereotype”? +2 Intelligence -2 Sex Appeal #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 ...

#Monsterdon
#Octoman
#ElSanto

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

@RobynGoodfellow Got fuckin' sucker rings all over his contacts and can't clean em, and too broke to just switch until tomorrow. #monsterdon #octaman

#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

these octamocs are made for walkin #monsterdon

i honestly love the octaman costume

#monsterdon

also honestly given what i'd seen from various little shots this is shot _way_ less incompetently than I was expecting. this looks like solid low-budget TV, like it was made by people arguably professional in some way #Monsterdon

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

@neia Yes, according to my folks.
#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

okay this movie is awesome already

#monsterdon

Octaman is all "MY BABY NO" #Monsterdon

octamouth reminds me of octorok from zelda #monsterdon

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