So many horny couples in this movie, it really does feel like one of THOSE parties...

#Monsterdon

Is that Cagney and Lacy combined into one person??

#Monsterdon

@Andres4NY Lithium-Based Arsenic, my favorite Nirvana EP #Monsterdon

#monsterdon I've been to the stable on a horse with no name...

Can I freshen your drinks? Bloody Mary?

#Monsterdon

Well....okay. Exploding slugs sounds way cooler than drowning slugs. #Monsterdon

„Don we have no choice, we need to explode the sewers“
„I’m in“
what
#monsterdon

we don't want any more time to think about this

if we think about it we might realise what an incredibly bad idea it is

#monsterdon #slugs1988

OK, he seems like a good guy, but hear me out, he already has a well-thought out process for mass producing poison gas.

#monsterdon

The name of the town is Ashton, a reference to Ron and Scott Asheton, of the Stooges

#monsterdon

@hollie running for office on the "just deal with the slugs normally" platform #monsterdon

"...it's a chemical. It will make them explode."
"I mean, it worked great with that whale, right?"

#Monsterdon #Slugs

why does his shirt says 42 in the front and 53 in the back?
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon This high school chem teacher is awfully broadly knowledgeable.

but why are they the same guy tho?

#Monsterdon

OH! He's the health inspector!!! Ok!

#Monsterdon #Slugs

@Taweret 80's guys replicate like amoebas, they used to be one larger 80's guy. #Monsterdon

@Taweret they really are indistinguishable aren't they

#monsterdon #slugs1988

I mean, if this was filmed in Spain, they did a really good job of making it look and feel like America. #monsterdon

ANOTHER salad? Really movie? #Monsterdon #Slugs1988

"come, let us talk by my mortar and pestle!" #monsterdon

why are there two of him?

#Monsterdon

Many years ago, my roommate and I hosted this movie for a movie night. We served garlic escargot on toast. It was an evening of bravery.

#monsterdon #slugs

Of course the science guy wants to kill the slugs with Lithium and Arsenic insted of just... salt.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Oh thank god, Mr. Phillips is dead. Finally.

"Meet me at the sanitation department...." is a line I thought only I ever used. #monsterdon

arsenic? well I'm glad we're breathing the fumes then

#Monsterdon

Mr Phillips?

*squish* *squish* *squish* *squish*

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🐌 🐌 🐌 💀 🩸 😱

Mr. Philips is not OK there

Lithium and arsenic?

#monsterdon #slugs

Some men would want to go that way, not many though, not many....

#Monsterdon

Mike Brady has Kenny-from-Gamera-level clearance to enter into any office in town he wishes, any time

#monsterdon

Mister Philips got SLUGGED!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I'd also like to send a shoutout to the tympani player in this soundtrack. Absolute kettle drum deity.

"a mutant form of killer slug"

wow, so even worse than regular killer slugs?

#Monsterdon

I want to throw blowing-ball man out the window

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🐌 🐌 🐌 💀 🩸 😱

"My name is Mike Brady and I AM the town Health Inspector"

#monsterdon Mmmmm... godammit. Screw you! Now listen to me! You stupid fuckwit, goddammit, gaaaahdammmit.

imagine showing up to Amity Island and trying to buy the beach just as Brody shows up to scream about sharks. #monsterdon

Lure the slugs to a central location then burn them all, use a "Blond Child Town Fair" if you have to

#Monsterdon

it's the slugocalypse! a slugtasrophe! #monsterdon

#monsterdon It's a potential diaster, a concept of a plan, a comedy act that has no comedy. Why...is it always a joke?

Look, let me explain in Spanish...
#monsterdon

This guy is like Leslie Nielsen had bad plastic surgery

#monsterdon

Mayor you oughta SLUG him!! #monsterdon

"why not? we might as well do it."

That's what she said.
#monsterdon

*jaws music intensifies* #monsterdon

@b There is so much wrong with that ...

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🐌 🐌 🐌 💀 🩸 😱

sheriff has a Slice!

@Taweret and never connect the dots. Tens of murders in towns that had none previously? Nah, can't possibly all be connected.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Awful overdubbing. None of the mouth movements match anything.

"You ain't got the authority to declare happy birthday!" Phenomenal 😂 #Monsterdon

He has a shitter in his office?

#monsterdon

Whoa, it's Frank Drebin. Police Squad!

#monsterdon

[edit: aw, until they zoomed in on his face.]

mutated form of S. L. U. G.
#monsterdon

Honestly a long vacation away from the town getting consumed by slugs is probably not the worst idea

#Monsterdon

@cocaine_owlbear I blame the leaded gas.

#monsterdon #slugs1988

What is Leslie Nielsen's stunt double doing in this movie? #Monsterdon #Slugs1988

#monsterdon Police Squad?

they should just get out those trucks that salt the road during winter. #monsterdon

Wait, that's an Iowa flag on his desk

#monsterdon #slugs

Wow Mike called the Sheriff a fat bastard he is almost relatable now #Monsterdon

Hitting a bunch of killer slugs with a frying pan in the sink is so fucking funny. I had an unreasonable chuckle watching that #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🐌 🐌 🐌 💀 🩸 😱

Dobbs. The job is not to be happy about the 'new corpse every 10 minutes' thing

I AM THE POLICE

#monsterdon #slugs1988

#Monsterdon is everyone in this town a sociopath?

Note: while slugs/snails do make both eggs and sperm, it is still beneficial for them to exchange sex cells with each other. The priceless Life in the Undergrowth clip of mating leopard slugs: https://youtu.be/Zc9pp99cKRE

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🐌 🐌 🐌 💀 🩸 😱

Don't squish the sluggies with the pan and if you do it would not make that clanging sound it'd be squishier

"you got that?"
you nearly didn't, sir.
#monsterdon

So, uh, I joked earlier but this is actually Slugs The Musical. The driving soundtrack is amazing!

#Monsterdon

Okay but that incredibly beige kitchen is an amazing time capsule.

#monsterdon #slugs1988

It's SERIOUS when the TIMPANIs get ANGRY!

#Monsterdon

do you barbarians not have a garbage disposal?

#monsterdon #slugs1988

He brought a frying pan to a slug fight.

#Monsterdon #Slugs

Ah, the 80s, when all our problems were secret toxic waste dumps and developers.

#HalcyonDays #Monsterdon #Slugs

Hermaphroditic doesn't mean they can* fertilize their own eggs. sigh Stay in your lane science guy, that lab looks like an analytical chemistry set-up (not sure why the microscope is there at all).

*as in it's possible, but that's not the strict definition

#Monsterdon

Could a teacher and a public health manager really afford a house that big? Even with the slug infestation?

#Monsterdon

Dogs are the most intelligent beings in this movie. #Monsterdon

she's being held hostage and can't say anything

she has a slug to her head

#monsterdon #slugs1988

toxic waste dump, basically the same plot as Mutant but without Bo Hopkins or Wings Hauser
#Monsterdon

@LK_877 Same is true for the women

#monsterdon

With all this talk of slugs being hermaphroditic we could have had a slug sex scene instead of a human sex scene

#Monsterdon

the flukes are… actually quite a nice touch? a bit too smart for this stupid movie

#Monsterdon

Ohhhh so the smaller worms are a Cloverfield flea situation

#monsterdon #slugs1988

If you are concerned you have aphasia, don't watch the scenes with these two white guys

#monsterdon

@JoeWynne @gnomon See, this is why I’m not watching 😄 #Monsterdon

OK, Mario, we heard you "no-ah wormsa"

#monsterdon

Blood flukes in the slugs, so hyperparasites?

#monsterdon #slugs

#Monsterdon 🐌 🐌 🐌 💀 🩸 😱

This movie's position:

worms === slugs === snails

He. Didn't. Even. Eat. Yet.

Universe, where are my ACAB slugs...

#monsterdon

You see this outside The cheesecake factory all the time someone is always having slugs in their head. #Monsterdon

In case it wasn't clear: there are NO worms here

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Angry stereotypical italian chef in po-dunk New York. COME ON. Well, okay. He can die too.

#monsterdon My condolences to the squeamish folks out there making "hork" noises right now but that nosebleed turning the water into wine followed by the full on collapsing head effect was _fantastic_

as I'm typing: What did that chef offer to shove up the sheriff's ass in Italian?

so. wait. so if you eat a slug it makes you filled with worms? because? what

#Monsterdon

WHAT the fuck is going on this soundtrack? Now it's giving THE THING

#Monsterdon

Right, he's got slugs. We get it

#monsterdon

This guy only just now exploded with worms and gunk gushing out of his head? I mean, it's so advanced, he should have been dead long before.

#Monsterdon

So like the worms are baby mutant slugs?

#monsterdon

he died as he lived

sealing a deal

and unsealing his body

#monsterdon #slugs1988
