That canteen is doing a lot of heavy lifting on actor guys' character development.

Baby godzilla!

random human encounter -> fight to the death

It's just good sense

drain the 'pond'?? Isn't that more of a *cement* pond?

there's a little claymation guy! Pirhana's got everything! #monsterdon

"They're here! They're already here!" #Monsterdon #Piranha

Just a little murder in the morning.

#Monsterdon

Ol' dude was unexpectedly crunchy. #Monsterdon

Creep looking eel sock puppet.
Is that Beanie or Cecil? I always forget.
#Monsterdon #Piranha

nazi zombie bipedal piranhas #piranha78 #monsterdon

Oh, that did it. The fish are going to drain into the public lake or somnething.
#Monsterdon #Piranha

[blows landing]

also blew the takeoff and yet they're in the air

#piranha #monsterdon

The claymation is incredible

#Monsterdon

If I were in an unethical science lab and flicked a switch and someone immediately shouted "What are you doing?!" I'd at least hear them out. But that's just me.

#Monsterdon #Piranha

SUDDEN OLD MAN, oh there's a flurry in the corner, old man with the hook is ALL OVER our heroes! #Monsterdon

What the hell!!? #monsterdon Is that an upright comodo dragon?

#Monsterdon piranha maze

I know what you DID last summeR ARRRGHHH. #monsterdon

what i was going to say was: having an intense moment of uncertainty on whether a bunny is enough of a pet animal to save it from the hand of horror movie god

#monsterdon

Primitive xenomorph #monsterdon

... and the pond drained, and that was the end of the piranhas

roll title

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Piranha

#monsterdon Paul's still trying to finish drinking his breakfast

Omg they have claymation land piranhas ⁉️ I'm in love already!

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978

You break into this place and then you say you have to get permission? Way to give mixed signals budget Bob Ross.

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978 #BiteyFish

they broke into a lab full of rejected pitches for Gremlins character designs #monsterdon

If I ever build a mad science lab, I need a synth that plays random pitch beeps quietly in the background. Sounds de rigeur.

#monsterdon

Awww I'm now on team critters

#monsterdon

Rejects from “Flight of the Navigator.”

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978

Little Godzilla!

#Monsterdon

Wouldn't there be a lot of fish poo after eating such a huge meal? #Monsterdon

Everyone when they see the animated fish creature: "What is that?"

Kid 2: "It's the guys who pour the coffee from Men In Black,"

#monsterdon #piranha

NOBODY TOLD ME THERE WAS STOP MOTION OR PUPPETS IN THIS

#monsterdon

did that little monster start singing down with the sickness? #monsterdon

All right so I had to go make some popcorn. So instead of guessing at what I missed, how do you like your popcorn monsterdon?

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978

Yo is that a piranha with legs #monsterdon

WTF. I did not remember b-movie Doby.

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978 #BiteyFish 🐟 🐟 🐟

aww lil' guy

I mean, I am slightly confused about why there's a random reptile wandering around in a lab in a piranha movie but I like it #TeamMonster

Abe Vigoda cameo in the tank! #monsterdon

Wait! Why can't the movie be about that bipedal, stop-motion animated creature in the lab?!

TRIVIA BITES

Bradford Dillman, a decent actor, complained to writer John Sayles why his character was so shallow. Sayles explained that he wrote it like a typical Roger Corman character for a bad actor.

Sayles beefed up Dillman's character with some depth.

#Piranha

@_L1vY_ And now the hatchet's disappeared #monsterdon

What is this thing?

It hoppity-hops on the desk out of sight …

#Monsterdon #piranha1978

This room looks like a fucking Doctor Who costume design experimentation room if I dare say so.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🏊 🏊‍♂️ 🏊‍♀️ 🐟 🐟 🐟 🩸 🩸💀 😱

Who is this tiny dino and what is he doing in this lab?

@Taweret
No one would be that stupid!

#Monsterdon

aw it's cute

#monsterdon

he grumpy!

#piranha #monsterdon

I don’t want to be an alarmist, but that is not a piranha. #monsterdon

Wait, was that a mini-dinosaur?

Eeee, I want one! Gimme, gimme!

#Monsterdon

Is the canteen a named character yet? #Monsterdon

What the frack is this stop motion creature‽ What movie are we watching?

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978

DRAIN THE POND! #Monsterdon

eel puppet!

#monsterdon

Stop motion creature! Ode to Ray Harryhausen. #Monsterdon #Piranha

Oh, just your ordinary alien creatures in jars, and wandering around loose on the table.

#Monsterdon #Piranha #🐟

Claymotion critter!! #monsterdon

Beep boop boop boop beep boop

#Monsterdon

HOLD UP if this movie is gonna have BIPEDAL MUTANT FISH I'm gonna have to call a timeout to set up a fanclub and stuff :D :D :D #Monsterdon

So, let me get this straight. A couple of teens/early-20s disappear in the mountains, and their friends gang together to hire an expensive skip tracing service instead of calling the cops and getting search & rescue (which was definitely a thing in the 70s) involved.

#monsterdon #piranha

Just tuning in late to #Monsterdon and I think I saw—oh my god that was some SICK stop motion

I WASN'T EXPECTING THIS ONE TO ACTUALLY HAVE A MONSTER REVEAL

#monsterdon

THAT'S NOT A PIRAHNA

#piranha #monsterdon

this thing could afford some stop motion I am already more interested

#piranha #monsterdon

Did Maggie The Skip Tracer at least let Bradford Dillman finish his lunch??

So far I prefer Mrs. Menzies-Urich as Louisa von Trapp

#Piranha1978 🐟 #Monsterdon

ah, things in jars, a staple of every-- uh wth is that??? #monsterdon

lmao they's been training the fish with obstacle courses :D

#monsterdon

They wanted to do all stop motion, but no budget sadly

#monsterdon

Fuckin' what?

#Monsterdon

Oh no. Obstacle course? We’re about to have a lot of clever girls.

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978

It's a big mountain. You should go and let new eat my fish. "I didn't axes murder your young couple."

The CG chameleon looks exactly like it's out of Star Wars.

@LingLass Movie search-and-rescue tactics

If you don't call their names, they stay hidden

#Monsterdon

...Do the piranha drink coffee? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon tubi gives me a lot of spanish advertisements for some reason? you'd think they'd have linked my ethnographic information from my ad profile by now :D

Now we have "tense orchestral music"
