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

Okay, so we're now snooping around the secret test site, which seems to be in remarkably good order and well maintained, the lady shouting at random for the missing teenagers and Fishing Vest Guy carrying around a thermos of presumably booze. They discover an aquarium that was probably used for breeding killer fish, and then we stop to stare at a little godzilla fish in a different aquarium before deciding the place is creepy and leaving. #monsterdon

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

roll title

#Monsterdon

lmao what a jumpscare
#monsterdon

What? What! Wtf are you?
When did Ray Harryhausen show up?
#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

"yuergh"

"Good afternoon, my name is...."

#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

sock puppet #monsterdon

Yo is that a piranha with legs #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

"com'ere, take a look at this"
"yegh"
#monsterdon in a nutshell

WTF. I did not remember b-movie Doby.

#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

#Monsterdon

Abe Vigoda cameo in the tank! #monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

What in bloody hell is in that jar?

#monsterdon

Beep boop beepoopeeep boop

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

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

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978 #BiteyFish

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

#Monsterdon #BiteyFish #piranha

having an intense moment of uncertaint- wait what the fuck

#monsterdon

here's an archive.org copy if anyone still needs it: https://archive.org/details/piranha-1978-1080p

#monsterdon

Her: you're taking me up there!
Him: no, I'm not!
Narrator: yes, he is
#monsterdon

Make it through the maze and you get to eat a finger. #monsterdon

@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"

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978 #BiteyFish

this is no human heat lamp

#piranha #monsterdon

Remember - It's a BIG mountain

#monsterdon
#Piranha

@LingLass It's what a bloodhound would do

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon ooooh cute widdle monster 😻

“…It takes a while for the body to bloat with gas."
“Not after the meal I just had ... har har har!"

#Monsterdon #Piranha #🐟

She is kind of pushy.
#Monsterdon #Piranha

lol @ obvious clue to 'barbara randolph'

#monsterdon

Creature! We have creature!

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978 #BiteyFish

Uh oh. I saw the trailer and I know where this is going.

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978

With how often this guy mentions his ex-wife he sounds like some of the terrible dates my mom went on about a decade or so ago.

#Monsterdon

It doesn't take that long for the body to bloat with gas.

#Monsterdon

@SRLevine She ought to have offered him a slight commission for the trouble. Maybe $5 in the 1970s would have been enough #monsterdon

Yelling their names? That’s her search technique? #Monsterdon

@_L1vY_ and AT the fishies

#Monsterdon

you know what, all this booze is tempting. We should have theme cocktails for every #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🏊 🏊‍♂️ 🏊‍♀️ 🐟 🐟 🐟 🩸 🩸💀 😱

This 🎶 is sure telling us what to feel

you think the army would put at least some vigilance on their research centers
#monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow yes yes give yourself the monkey tonight

#piranha #monsterdon

All the soldiers turned into fish. #monsterdon

I shall henceforth be shoehorning "cool your jets, lady" into as many random conversations as possible.

#Monsterdon

She needs to be carrying that hatchet pointing AWAY from her.

#Monsterdon

Love the use of Weber grill tops as hatches into the ground around the pool.

#monsterdon

Hmmm.. Missing kids. Closed military pond. Seems... fishy. #Monsterdon #Piranha

Hatchet and Flask, they're not cops.

#monsterdon

Once again late for the movie. But I skipped ahead.

#Monsterdon #Piranha

It's surprisingly easy to press gang mountain men into helping you look for missing kids. #Monsterdon

Oh look - a clue!

#Monsterdon #Piranha1978 #BiteyFish

So she goes to some random dude who lives nearby, interrupts his breakfast, demands he guide her to this military thing, and then she just hammers the lock off a "keep out, US Army, no trespassing" fence and strides right in?
#monsterdon

Ouch! Honey, wrap a corner of your vest around your hand before you open that! #Monsterdon
