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

"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

@Taweret Maybe Octaman IS the RV #Monsterdon

@Taweret They were the two most expensive things in the budget. #Monsterdon #Octaman

Well ... that was the weirdest dang Jacques Cousteau documentary I ever did see ...

#Monsterdon
#Octaman

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

@Taweret In my mind it ends with the octaman and the woman holding hands and driving the RV off a cliff into the pond, thelma and louise style #monsterdon

In '71 this would have been a great movie to watch late at night in the summer at a drive-in sitting on a blanket in the bed of your truck sipping beer. #Monsterdon #Octaman

It's time to remake #Octaman. We have the technology to make him dance like Squidward. #monsterdon

@diazona @forestine Octane, it's not just for knockers? --Dad #monsterdon

@Taweret octaman racers #monsterdon

@neia ahaha yeah we need a second Winnibago here #Monsterdon

@cainmark The thing is that returning to one’s regular feed is a little less exciting for a while after #Monsterdon.

@forestine@sunny.garden Octaman chasing the Winnebago or Octaman in a Winnebago chasing someone?

Wait, no! Octaman in one Winnebago chasing people in another Winnebago!

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Decolonize Octaman's pond. #Monsterdon

@otheorange_tag @jonny An octopus's garden in a landlocked south american pond. #Monsterdon

When it comes to 1970s Recreational Vehicular Horror Films, Octaman puts Race with the Devil to shame, imho ... Until next time, Kaiju Fans!

I really enjoy #Monsterdon even when I'm not watching the movie. Fun commentary.

#pn_film #movies

@otheorange_tag lol 😂 but I honestly didn't #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe yup

#Monsterdon

@diazona you forgot a few zeroes? #monsterdon

@forestine Octaman/Mad Max crossover

#Monsterdon

@jonny "In an octopuses garden by the sea?" #monsterdon

this was fun, thanks @Taweret bye everyone, it's about 4:30 am here :) #monsterdon

I cannot understand how that lasted 78 minutes, it feels like 10

#Monsterdon

@jonny I'm still kind of hoping for that sequel

#Monsterdon

@yatsu I'm not sure colors have any meaning any more

#Monsterdon

@jonny maybe it was a blow up doll? #JustSpitballin #monsterdon

I think this was really bad movie. Maybe?
But as always watching along with a group makes the cheesy stuff more entertaining.
Thanks for another fun #Monsterdon yall

dang, that was a hell of a game team, thanks @Taweret as always for hosting #Monsterdon

#monsterdon The costume was so much better than the movie.

I wonder if that was left over from some higher budget production.

we shot the monster and it effed off into the water THE END

Thanks for the fun fromage @Taweret ! We learned that...er...what did we learn Winnebagoes are very resilient RVs I dunno

great rubber monster suit tho one of the best! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon aaaaand fucked off into the retention pond

the end. was expecting half man, half octagon, but this was nice too #monsterdon

@aprilfollies I think so #monsterdon

*gulp* #monsterdon

@howler0502 Twas beauty that shot the victim with a revolver.

It's either King Kong or Clue, I guess. #Monsterdon

Well, that was (technically) a movie. The protagonists sure will have a story to tell the off road recovery crew

#Monsterdon #Octaman

#Monsterdon
Such a quick ending after all the walk-and-crawl-in-a-dark-cave padding.

@athena_rising It felt like they were trying to squeeze juuuuust a little more out of the script. #monsterdon #octaman

why did the water bubble when he throw the doll in??? was that doll something i missed in the mysterious exposition scenes??? #monsterdon

@aprilfollies I say count it particularly since it hit the key points of 1) water and 2) fucking off into it #monsterdon

@blogdiva #RaisesHand ... #LowersHand #monsterdon

Davido being weird to the end. We love you, Octaman!! Goodnight, monster people. #Monsterdon

uhhhh okay! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Come on already with the death scene, Octaman; even Marlon Brando wasn’t this dramatic.

That was great, thanks for the lulz friends #octaman #monsterdon

oh dang that was a workout

#monsterdon

so this thing has no problems walking around and fighting in broad daylight, but as soon as it sees a flashlight it's done for?
#octaman #monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow (but yes, it is unfortunate)

#Monsterdon

@yatsu #Monsterdon

wait WHAT? Shooting it WORKED time? #Monsterdon

that was terrible, y'all 😂

thank you @Taweret as always for hosting!! #Monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow well Octaman has made a lot of appearances this film, I'm willing to give the benfit of the doubt

#Monsterdon

What?! That ending was shot like a commercial break!

#Monsterdon #Octaman

@CactuarJoe GET BENT, MOVIE! #monsterdon

My internet has gone slow and chunky in this climax.
Like Octoman''s compound vision?
#Monsterdon #Octoman

In the end, the real monster was the OctoMan.

#monsterdon

Huh. So that's how you wanna end your film, huh? Okay, I'm outta here. Get bent. #Monsterdon

oh thank gods it's over

it even said so, it's not just the file ran short

tho' that would've been fine too xD

#monsterdon

@trixter just BARELY #monsterdon

#monsterdon

And we end with .... the Octafloat.

#Monsterdon #Octaman

the end.
uh... okay.
#monsterdon

THAT WAS ONE END :D #monsterdon

Octoman trying desperately to fuck off into the oceanRiverLakeSea whatever the hell that is supposed to be. #Monsterdon #Octaman

Headshots, you fools!!! #monsterdon

Oh yeah, probably damaged his spinal cord. 'Cos y'know octopuses have those. >_> #Monsterdon

meanwhile, in a surprisingly small lake #monsterdon

OMG the film is buffering so much at the end!

#Monsterdon #Octaman

@joewynne @apLundell cheesy movie tropes mean nothing in the face of nepotism

#Monsterdon

SHOT THROUGH THE HEART

AND SUSAN'S TO BLAME

#Monsterdon

i like how unconcerned she was in that shot #monsterdon

"...my Octaman, what lovely eyes of Sauron you have"

#Monsterdon #Octaman

At least he killed the rich carny, I appreciate that. #Monsterdon

@apLundell director was projecting something and something something euphemisms? #iAmJustMakingUpStuff #Monsterdon

"don't worry lady, you'll get your turn!". #monsterdon
