I’m betting a lot of this is stock footage of explosions but some of it is definitely pyro work done for this movie. Wow. #monsterdon

I guess shallow bowls half-filled with beer aren't as exciting as a truck exploding, now that I think about it

#Monsterdon

I sure hope that one dude got blown up
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon That's sanitarium levels of lithium right there. It's not that common an element. This explains the untreated pandemic of psychoisis in the early 90's in New York. ;)

Trust me when I say Kentucky doesn't even want y'all.

#Monsterdon #Slugs

wait, was there a manhole cover in the middle of that forest? #monsterdon

The slugs want this town? Well they can have it. #monsterdon

It's like when Cersei blew up the sept

EXCEPT WITH SLUGS

#Monsterdon #Slugs1988

You tried soaking them out...

Have you tried burning them out?

#Monsterdon

"...maybe be used too much?"

#Monsterdon #Slugs

Fire fixes everything

#monsterdon #slugs

Cirque du Soleil

#monsterdon

The Sheriff's contract stated someone had to touch him in that scene. #monsterdon

@trixter 2EZ 😆

#Monsterdon

I was NOT prepared for sewer acrobatics

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon He sure had a lot of salsa in his pockets

Fried slugs 🤔 #Monsterdon

What was that weird pull on the sheriff's arm that Brady just did?

#Monsterdon

Godspeed, slug man #Monsterdon

hey, blood fountain! kind of a weak one but e for effort

#monsterdon #slugs1988

yeahhh, we all knew at least one of 'em wasn't getting out there alive

#Monsterdon

Slugs! they're turning into pirhanas!

#Monsterdon

It's the Flying Slugendas!

#Monsterdon

Don will not be getting naked and crazy, after all

#Monsterdon

Y'all took off your damn gloves again

#Monsterdon

So the big plan is to... feed them?

#monsterdon

Oh... NOW the glove comes off. #Monsterdon #Slugs1988

I love when two people get the same quip at the same time! It's like Leibniz and Newton and Calculus. @SnoopJ @OldRustBucket #Monsterdon

Mike Brady is quite acrobatic.

#monsterdon

@diazona Like Godzilla! #Monsterdon

That's really clear sewer water

#monsterdon

Oh no, not that guy who is exactly like that other guy!!
#Monsterdon

@rwg yes

both

#monsterdon #slugs1988

#Monsterdon so the slugs are piranha now? I guess that's what you get for electrocuting them.

Is the groovy animated 80s arcing electricity causing the slugs to run? That's not realistic. 🤨

#Monsterdon #Slugs1988

meat sack, meet meat sack

#monsterdon #slugs1988

@moira are you talking about the character or the sound designers for this film? Because they're both slacking on this one

#monsterdon

Kill him! Kill him with the pickaxe!

#Monsterdon

@Taweret the scientist is smart he knows the poison doesn't need to be explosive he just wants to blow up the whole miserable shithole town :blobthinksmart: #Monsterdon

the scariest part of this movie was the point at which I thought back to a text exchange I had earlier today and realized I might have come across as an asshole #Monsterdon

coyote's plans made more sense. i mean that. literally every plan - other than earthquake pills - made more sense than this.

#monsterdon #slugs1988

Dollars to donuts the prop guy stole his daughter's "Creepy Crawler" toy to make all the slugs.

#Monsterdon

@rdm @lowqualityfacts My inspiration 😀

#Monsterdon

"Toss the whole thing in!" tosses 2 lbs of meat

#Monsterdon

This is not the way.

#Monsterdon #Slugs

"...I'll go get the meat sack."
"Hold on, isn't that what we are?"

#Monsterdon #Slugs

OMG, they are down a man hole and now they are going to get a sack of meat.

What kind of pr0n is this?

#Monsterdon

That last scene with the scientist on the radio felt like Garth Marenghi's dark place.

#monsterdon

I say take off and nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

#Monsterdon

i'll go get the meet-cute. i'll be right back.

#monsterdon #slugs1988

@forestine Upstate New York would absolutely have salt trucks for the winter.

#monsterdon #slugs1988

#AltMotherASongOrPoem is now trending across Mastodon

#Monsterdon is now trending across Mastodon

#monsterdon A pick-axe is not the tool to use. But he's british so perhaps he's just using whats handy? Seems to be the only smart one around, maybe even in the county.

@socketwench

You can do it...
( It's Electric...! )

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon That is a VERY well stocked high school chemistry lab.

Science nerd weakling -- movie funny!

#Monsterdon

That's not how you open a manhole silly!
#Monsterdon

I really don't want the scientist to die, he has great knitwear

#Monsterdon #Slugs1988

"I'll open the manhole" And the sewer lid too. #Monsterdon #Slugs1988

#monsterdon I got an idea, let's give the slugs 活力

OH DOUBLE GOOD, the person trying to not get assaulted is the one the slugs got. Wow.

#Monsterdon #Slugs

London John is still here for you

#Monsterdon

Oh good, it's the sexual assault portion of the movie! 🙄

#Monsterdon #Slugs

@socketwench Power! unlimited power! #monsterdon

🧂

#monsterdon #slugs1988

implied message: they'd rather be eaten by slugs than end up in Kentucky. #monsterdon

And stop doing crappy Ronald COleman imitations #Monsterdon

British dude responds to the walkie-talkie like he's Dr. Frank-N-Furter from Rocky Horror. Look at that expression on his face.

#Monsterdon

@socketwench Boogie Woogie Woogie #Monsterdon #Slugs1988

@Taweret or maybe it's like a moving slug carpet? power in numbers I guess I dunno not even the FX crew could really figure it out #Monsterdon

How many slugs can be produced from the carcass of one adult human?

Because it feels like the answer is "a lot"

#monsterdon

@Taweret That seems like something you should verify before lighting fires.

#monsterdon #slugs1988

#monsterdon I can't believe they abandoned the well thought out lithium-arsenic ploy for dumb old electricity..

"yeah mike, i'm here"
this is not the sort of call that would warrant that tone, sir.
#monsterdon

"I'm going to electrocute the bastards"

*burns power line*

*power to the entire town drops out*

#Monsterdon

I wasn't even supposed to BE here today

#monsterdon #slugs1988

I guess we're taking our time with this sewer climax

#Monsterdon

Great, now they're killer slugs that can electrocute us, THANKS FOR NOTHING DON

#Monsterdon #Slugs1988

Good thing they're faster than the rate at which sewer water conducts electricity. #monsterdon

hey, y'all, I really hate to say this, but... I think this is a pretty shitty movie.

#monsterdon

With the bright, opaque red blood and vibrant yellow gear I'm getting Sin City (2005) vibes, too. #Monsterdon

That electricity effect was probably 80% of the budget. #Monsterdon #Slugs1988

#monsterdon Worlds tiniest blow-torch.

Fun fact: slugs can lift 32.7 times their own body weight

(not really)

#Monsterdon

I like Pam and respect her for saying she likes a guy but that's not the same thing as wanting to let him into "her panties" (hilarious turn of phrase there). Seriously, girl is maybe the only thing I like about this movie.

#Monsterdon

"son of a bitch. they closed the entrance without marking it on the map!"

Look I've done enough work with local government to know that their shit is *never* accurate. You've gotta actually *verify* street trees, sewer lines, pretty much anything from the various utility and planning depts
#Monsterdon

10 people dead and it's "worse than you thought???"

Holy crap!

#Monsterdon

Poor Pam. She's genetically engineered by slugs to not have fun.

#Monsterdon #Slugs

This sewer sequence reads like the porn parody of HBO's Chernobyl #Monsterdon

If I were drinking to people yelling other people’s names who turn out to be slug food, I’d be dead. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Pam has mono, she's not feeling so great. Aches in her side, like her spleen is about to explode. Patè de Frois Pam.

@Wyatt_H_Knott Fair enough.

#Monsterdon

Convenient that the slugs stay on that side of the doorway.

#monsterdon

His shirt just changed back to 53.

CONTINUITY GIRL WTF

#Monsterdon

BRB getting rubber fishing waders and boots for my go-bag.

#Monsterdon

They pass the cast of C.H.U.D. coming the other direction down the pipe. #Monsterdon

Fun fact: The original title for the movie was "Arsenic and Old Sludge"

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Small town doesn't like call the state. Just lets plan to put arsenic and lithium in their water supply, apparently!

@ramsey Don't kink shame #monsterdon
