#Monsterdon All right, this suspenseful monster creeping up scene is where I release the “sucker-punched” joke I’ve been saving.

"Day for night, never works" #monsterdon

@moira (In youth camp counselor voice) "you know who else set up for *camping!?" *crucifiction #monsterdon

@blogdiva Also, this south america has whippoorwills and cheetahs. #monsterdon #octaman

@SnoopJ @aburka I live for the anticipation #Monsterdon

@nev I know...where did that come from? Not even relevant to the scene!

#Monsterdon #Octaman

I'm feeling some serious "Zaat" vibes on this one.

#Monsterdon #Octaman

Cowboy's just did the first part, and now he's gonna "find out"

#Monsterdon #Octaman

30 minutes into radioactive monsters … was this really a geiger counter? #monsterdon

Jumpscare Octoman!
Actually the way he pops up it felt like he just got scared. Look how far his lack of jaw has fallen open.
#Monsterdon #Octoman

"A woman's place is in the kitchen. In the RV. Dismembering the corpse of the guy who told her 'a woman's place is in the kitchen'. #monsterdon #octaman

Kill him ma'am. Kill him. #Monsterdon

so we were someone in South America and now this slow Speedy González guy is whistling a jarape tapatío because why not

#Octaman
#Monsterdon
#MonsterdonBingo

please let him die first #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
"A woman's place is in the kitchen" Yeah you can die, along with the scientist.

"A woman's place is in the kitchen." If he doesn't get eaten next I swear to God #Monsterdon

the seemingly unironic "womans place is in the kitchen" line followed by skepticism about why she is upset leads me to believe we are not getting a bechdel pass #monsterdon

@aprilfollies or necropsy maybe #monsterdon #octaman

@diazona hard to speed up a plot with nothing in it #monsterdon

Okay I get that it's nighttime but why does it have to be THIS dark?!

#Monsterdon #Octaman

@jonny Anything else we could describe would only confuse you

#Monsterdon #Octaman

@jonny you're doing better than me! #monsterdon

yeah that's what this movie needs, more setting up for camping #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Movie also does not know an autopsy from a dissection from a vivisection. D- biology.

...and going at 1.2x speed to catch up #Monsterdon

"Don't you ever sleep?" Man he's rich and it's the 70s, his nose is so full of cocaine it's like the Swiss alps up there. #Monsterdon

Octaman has a mean right hook, to take out that guy's eye like that #Monsterdon

I almost think some of these day light Octoman shots were filmed Day for Night, but they forgot to put a blue filter on them...
#Monsterdon #Octoman

@YsengrinWolf I think she's just got a tentacle kink. #monsterdon #octaman

@strangefour he has no nose? "...how does he smell?" DON'T YOU DO IT! .... "awful!" Damnit! #monsterdon

The lovely cry of the South American East Asian Beach Jungle River Rock Quarry Whippoorwill #Monsterdon #Octaman

@Taweret@octodon.social
Me too! And I like that they’re not coy about letting us admire it. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Octaman

@annathepiper hey don't bother the scientist! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Does Susan have a telepathic link to the Octaman? Does the Octaman reciprocate?

Finally getting into #Monsterdon a bit late (currently 16:15 in)

Oh no! Octaman is reproducing!

#Monsterdon #Octaman

Octoman is a mouth breather.
#Monsterdon #Octoman

#Monsterdon Saddle-break a squid-octopus-whatsit. I feel the topology of that saddle would give anyone nightmares.

@SchlocklusterVideo It's a good monster suit. For a Monster of the Week tokusatsu show. Just not the kinda you build a movie around. And show in broad daylight constantly.
#Monsterdon #Octaman

#Monsterdon what i expected tonight

#Monsterdon
Gotta give the suit actor kudos for having to prance around in a waist-deep pond fighting cattails for what was likely hours.

@RufusJCooter maybe he's a dim bulb... lamp?... is this thing on?... #monsterdon

¿¡Que!? #Monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow
Yes, a B plot, anything that happens in the bright light of day!

#Monsterdon #Octaman

Soundtrack by Whoopie Cushion, okay. #Monsterdon

drink enough radioactive water and you you will turn into a mew TANT #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

hey! hey! somebody start the monster! goddamn it we can't afford reshoots! #monsterdon

"...air and water are everywhere"
"did you learn that in Phd school, doc?"

#Monsterdon #Octaman

@sean hey! we're right here?! oh, ahaha yeah i see... #monsterdon

MOVIE NO! NO!
Poory kitty... Bad movie.
#Monsterdon #Octoman

#Monsterdon Switching to surreal martial arts interlude where the #Octaman knocks people over with its flimsy tentacle arms and then somehow... stabs people with the tentacles?

MU-TANT! #monsterdon

Those wacky kids and their recycling #monsterdon

Maybe some of the suckers have eyes too.

#Monsterdon #Octaman

#monsterdon okay I finally placed who mr gimme-hat-and-pipe reminds me of "all part of man's journey, you know what I mean Vern?"

@Taweret I guess there are pills for that I dunno #Monsterdon

I want octaman vision glasses

#Monsterdon #Octaman

@cheribaker well tentaclely... #ReplyGuy #Monsterdon

@socketwench ...and the cinematographer ... and the director ... and the producer.

Make-up & Costuming can remain alive, for now.
#Monsterdon

y'know what this movie needs? bigger collars. collars you can _fly_ with #monsterdon

"young people, underneath all that hair and revolt..." #monsterdon

Octaman was the first film that special-effects make-up artist Rick Baker would work on. In the course of his extensive career, he's won 7 Academy Awards, 3 BATFA Awards, and 7 Saturn Awards. Octaman was sadly and pretty obviously not one of the winners ...

#Monsterdon
#Octaman

@Taweret You can if it's stiff enough!
#Monsterdon

Dude. Do not fondle his grandma's beads. That feels disrespectful.
#Monsterdon #Octoman

they wanted this guy for The Life Aquatic with Steve Sizzou but he wasn't available #monsterdon

@Taweret it is fantastic innit I can see why they wasted no time revealing it #Monsterdon

What this movie really needed was a pro wrestler tie in. It's too bad Hulk Hogan and Rowdy Roddy Piper were 10 years or so off. #Monsterdon #Octaman

Lotsa monster attack action here but so far I am not actually seeing anyone get _eaten_! Clearly Octaman is just out for revenge, as opposed to snax. #Monsterdon

Woah. You can stab someone with a tentacle? #Monsterdon

Preproduction sketches are not framed well. But look cool.
#Monsterdon #Octoman

He died as he lived, with hickeys on his chest. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon #octaman some classic cinema here.

@aprilfollies that's okay movie, you can try again later? #monsterdon

Nobody expects the octopus monster's secret tentacle stab!

#Monsterdon #Octaman

#monsterdon standard procedure: you see a panther, you honk at it.

i'm liking the mix of trippy synths and calm guitar music #Monsterdon

Waa! Nyuck nyuck nyuck! #Monsterdon

HIKEEBA! #Monsterdon

ah shit, we used bear traps instead of octaman traps #monsterdon

Venucian octajudo! #monsterdon

Cool intro for a minor character.
I do hope some of these actors are actually latino. I am a bad judge of accents, but some of these feel sketchy.
#Monsterdon #Octoman

#monsterdon *_~eye~_* did not see that flashback coming

Awwww poor kitty. #Monsterdon #Octaman

@sean Are we talking about paisley shirt lady again? #monsterdon

these octamocs are made for walkin #monsterdon

Where did you get those boots, Octaman? Tres chic!

#Monsterdon #Octaman

did they reuse that costume later on the A-Team? #monsterdon

I feel kinda bad for the suit designer right now. Imagine putting in some obviously heavy work building that thing and then the director just goes, "Shooting in the dark is too much work, we start at noon." :P #Monsterdon

Octamoccosins! OCTAMOCS! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Four of Octaman’s eight legs are suspiciously limp, ifyouknowwhatImean.

@strangefour I'm sure my mom had that fabric as curtains. Maybe what we have here is a Sound Of Music situation. #monsterdon #octaman

Maybe all Octaman wants is some tasty Crabby Patties.

#Monsterdon #Octaman

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

"Look, we PAID for the Winnebago, we're gonna FILM the Winnebago!" #Monsterdon

The stock footage flows from one fresh water lake to another. Try to forget any mention of oceans. #Monsterdon #Octaman

@apLundell prolly the new chatgpt just makin sht up? #monsterdon

Octoman. Are you getting the hots for a human lady in some hideous 1970s paisley outfit?
#Monsterdon #Octoman

Is that the RV from Pink Flamingos? #monsterdon #octaman
