I know I'm not going be Team Townfolk I mean who roots for people that get eaten by slugs. Team Slugs is icky garden pests. SO it's Team I Love Watch Idiots Die #Monsterdon

Lake slugs???

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🐌 🐌 🐌 💀 🩸 😱

Wait are slugs aquatic?

to be followed by SLUGS: THE MOTION PICTURE, SLUGS: THE MINISERIES, SLUGS: THE ENSLUGGENING (DTV, 1993), and

#monsterdon

SLUG HIS ASS! #monsterdon

Wayne didn't deserve her.

#monsterdon

Tomato sauce spring!!!

#Monsterdon

We passed a sewer outlet (still sticks his feet in the water)

#monsterdon #slugs

I'll just strip down to my panties

#monsterdon On Golden Pond OF SLUGS

"Something slimey down there!"

Something slimey in this movie, man. #Monsterdon

i'm not sure if i'm ready #monsterdon

Oh right. It’s #Monsterdon: Slugs.

@bookandswordblog one of the characters said Ashton near the beginning #Monsterdon

i wish they had made one big slug. and that it had eaten that guy at the party. #Monsterdon

is this set in Asheville, NC or a fictional Ashton, Somewhere in the Midwest? I could swear some characters said Asheville but the sign on the sanitation department says Ashton and the helpful plan of the town has no harbour. Should I just do the MST3k thing and just relax? #geography #monsterdon

@moira I’m pretty sure you could have marked off “police investigating” and “slipping”.

I mean, we had women sliding on slug goo and we had women wearing slips. So definitely was slipping in the film. 😜
#monsterdon

@nev I saw slugs mating once: the whole hanging on their slime on a wall, twisting around each other, holes in the heads where they pierced each other. Were they leopard slugs? Or just related?

Anyway it looked gross and yet more passionate than any couple in the movie.

#Monsterdon #Slugs1988

oh i was mostly paying attention to the film but I did get #MonsterdonBingo

#monsterdon #slugs1988

The housemates put on another movie and I missed the start of #Monsterdon . But I was treated to the feature presentation torments of Godfather 3 instead. I'm sure #Slugs (1988) would have had better creature effects than Sofia Coppola's nepobaby face.

@kshernandez This post by @OldRustBucket speaks for me, too.

@diazona @OliviaVespera Seems to be stock music from a John Hyde https://www.dewolfemusic.com/search.php?id=31130669&code=galXNR #monsterdon

@combatwombat @OliviaVespera There's also an instrumental version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QO0TmO0aFGE

and those two videos are the *only* things I can find about this song anywhere online 😮

#Monsterdon

@JoeWynne @Taweret @Cherizilla Me too, two of the death scenes I was laughing so hard I had to hold my laptop so it didn't tumble off my lap, that hasn't happened before with a #Monsterdon movie

So, how was the film? #monsterdon

awright y'all I'm off to snack on some lettuce and anchovies. wait-- AAAAAHHHH #monsterdon

@combatwombat @OliviaVespera Good call! I hadn't yet gotten to try very much when you posted.

I'm surprised it's an original song, it seems so much higher quality than the rest of the movie

#monsterdon #slugs

Blowing up the sewer sure seems to be a #Monsterdon trend. #slugs

@diazona @OliviaVespera Oh, should've just googled "slugs music" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGP4SGoLUS8 #monsterdon

@diazona @OliviaVespera Any success in finding the music? Shazam doesn't recognize it, IMDb is silent. #monsterdon

Best of all, this is the time of year when slugs start crawling up the pipes and I find them in my shower room. Have a good summer all you Northern Hemisphereans. #monsterdon

@combatwombat lol, accurate #Monsterdon

Is that one slug at the end supposed to be ominous? #Monsterdon

@moira Sit Ubu sit. Good slug. #Monsterdon #Slugs1988

@cargot_robbie What was it. I only get credits after the single slugs on the sewer grate. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Thank you @Taweret for a wonderfully juicy and amusing body-horror outing! That was very satisfying, especially for #GenX. Boomers got eaten. Teehee.

I feel like they could have used more species of slugs. Maybe some sea hares so that you get the idea they are really getting bigger!

#Monsterdon #Slugs

@moira “Slugs was filmed before a live studio audience”
#monsterdon

@cargot_robbie Not in my copy.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon If anyone cares, Lyons is kind of a Suburb of Rochester New York. If you grew up in upstate New York, you are smirking and looking with side-eye... uhhh-huh. Slugs. In Lyons. Uhhhh-huh.

The team was actually "Disaster Productions", but they were such a disaster they couldn't even spell the company name right.

(it's a joke)
#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe It only takes one the breed a sequel...

#Monsterdon

Thanks @Taweret #monsterdon

thanks #Monsterdon! double thanks @Taweret and @ryan

That scene with the flames going down the sewer tunnel is completely ripped from Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade!!

Wait, that came out the year after... heyyyy.... !!!!

#Monsterdon #Slugs

The music tells me this isn't the end of a movie, it's the end of an episode of Moonlighting

#Monsterdon

@healyn They already answered that earlier in the film. Slugs can apparently fertilize their own eggs.

#Monsterdon

And everyone died happily ever after. The end!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon This town has it all! Toxic waste dump! Sewers with unmarked sections and mixing of waste and supply likes! Electrical so bad a line cut arcs electricity all through ... water?!

Is the City Manager still alive? He's not going to be happy with Mike's explosive solution. 😖

#Monsterdon #Slugs1988

Folks, I did not lock in. I zoned out in an ADHD haze when given access to my computer again.

What happened? Did the slugs take over the world? Did the lithium/arsenic successfully treat their psychosis/blood cancer? #Monsterdon

I mean, I wouldn’t have any better luck opening a sewer cover myself #Monsterdon

That was a very Monsterdon film, but everyone was too horny and drunk

#Monsterdon

Moral of the Story:

If you're ever bitten by something say LOUD and CLEAR: "Something BIT me!"

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon "You hear that, your highness? Those are the shrieking slugs!"

WHAT are these dolphin slug screeches in the credits jesus fuck
#monsterdon

My favorite part of this whole thing? The three seconds of b-roll fire engine footage. Woo-woo!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon alright, kids, the Owlbear is done. That was good dumb fun, and I wanna thank everyone for being awesome.

@Terencio Nope. It's a shame.

#Monsterdon

Honestly still not sure which of the two guys died nor that it matters
#Monsterdon

yeah usually invasive species management is a process that takes decades of careful and resource-intensive work and even then has a very low success rate. they should have really gotten some consultants to advise on a multi-timescale mitigation effort for the slugs and gotten ready for the ~12 movies it would take to effectively restore the ecosystem #monsterdon

Oh no. The slugs got Don.

#Monsterdon #slugs1988

Ladies and Gentlemen, the London Philharmonic Orchestra will play us out.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon the literal tonal shift in the music in this movie almost drove me into in-patient care.

Nowadays filmmakers have learned that you wait until after the credits to show the one remaining slug.

#monsterdon #slugs1988

And we close on a shot of a lone slug, as if to suggest... Hey, here's a slug. #Monsterdon

How's it gonna breed, dummies? #Monsterdon

So I guess this dude in the raincoat is supposed to be the hero? Who knew.

#monsterdon

This one was a real slugger.

Thanks @Taweret et al. for hosting!

#Monsterdon

So ends another #Monsterdon with the masterpiece, #Slugs1988. Our thanks to @Taweret for hosting, and for everyone lurking and posting. And remember #Monsterdoners: You don't have the authority to declare Happy Birthday!

BUT ONE SURVIVED.

#monsterdon #slugs1988

OH NO, there's one slug remaining!!!

#Monsterdon

Throw another shrimp on the barbie!

#Monsterdon

That ended with a bang... Well several... Slugs 2? #Monsterdon

They just going to get it on right there in the car?

#Monsterdon

ooh, pretty fire trucks, though

#Monsterdon

Ominous slug is ominous

#monsterdon

SLUGS 2 SEQUEL HOOK GUYS

#Monsterdon

Kim... the completely inconsequential character.

#Monsterdon

@Taweret which one died? who can tell?

#monsterdon

Based on the music either the evening news is starting or the movie is ending #Monsterdon

Slugs on the barbie, anyone?

#monsterdon #slugs1988

@Terencio I'm afraid so...

#monsterdon

This movie would be 1000% better if the English scientist were Matt Berry.

#Monsterdon #Slugs

@apLundell OK, _that’s_ why I’m not watching 😄 #Monsterdon

Soundtrack changes to disco muzak

#Monsterdon

i have no idea who the second guy was, first time i saw him was when he came by in his football jersey and said he was in. maybe like 5 minutes of screen time. unless the main guy and him were different guys this whole time #monsterdon

#monsterdon Danger and dirt matter not. Mate, right there, in the bunny suit, with the cheerful music.

Yeah, lady, wrap your lips around the face of Sewer Brady D: #Monsterdon

oh all lovery-dovey
#monsterdon

Slugs 2: The Insluginating?

#monsterdon

Men will literally blow up the entire town instead of passing the salt

#monsterdon

And this is how chili became banned in one upstate New York town.

#monsterdon

we could never have died without him mike?

#monsterdon #slugs1988

bleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhh

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🐌 🐌 🐌 💀 🩸 😱

They secondary exploded the station wagon!

No, you're supposed to take off and get into orbit *before* nuking the site

#monsterdon #slugs

#Monsterdon I was not expecting it to go all Needful Things at the end there.
