this is the guy you reach out to if you can't get Leslie Nielsen on the case.

#monsterdon

Slugs playing Clue later: "It was Mike Brady, in the Kitchen, with the Frying Pan!"

#Monsterdon #Slugs1988

I love labs with beakers full of multicolour fluids just . . . hanging out

#monsterdon

Wait, if there was a toxic waste dump here shouldn't this have been a black neighborhood? Usually redlining is more efficient than this. #Monsterdon

Toxic waste dump. That's what humans did to bring this on themselves. Slugs have the moral high ground

#monsterdon

FINALLY, jesus. Took you long enough. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Does anybody in this movie actually like anybody else in this movie?

But it's a $500 fine for speeding in this county!

#monsterdon

Tempura paint for blood. A+ #Monsterdon FX

"Did a guy named John Foley call?"

No, he was too busy making cicada noises for that last scene. #Monsterdon

"rampaging mosquitos"

Okay, but that's not the worst idea for a horror movie

#monsterdon #slugs

they made the slugs have like a cicada sound but the thing about slugs is that they are squishy and have no stridulatory organs and so one must imagine that the same evolutionary novelty that allowed them to eat and digest meat has also allowed them to scream #monsterdon

The slugs just became the 2nd most disgusting thing in this movie

#monsterdon

#monsterdon That's the absolute fastest move from screwing to death I've seen in all of cinema.

Whoops, he's leaking red tempera paint. #Monsterdon

HARDLY ANY ANIMALS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS FILM #Monsterdon

"Wonder what your old man would say?"

Probably "Ick." #Monsterdon

film studies voice: you see the movie Slugs (1988) explores the "horror in the everyday" in the footsteps of david lynch, taking its effectivenss from how there are lots of plants around all the time and slugs like to eat them, but what if they eat guys instead #monsterdon

#monsterdon Slugs eating meat? I'm shocked by the absurdity of the very idea!

But to answer your question : Yes.

That is the worst British accent I’ve ever heard. I don’t care if the guy is actually British or not #monsterdon

the sexual tension off this old couple is electric

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon that greenhouse is gonna be *lousy* with slugs in a few minutes

*teenagers making out in the high school parking lot*

C'mooooon, cut from that nonsense to slugs making out. Make the people happy.

#monsterdon

yo if I'd called my teacher a "bitch" in front of them, I'da been crucified upside-down by my parents. #monsterdon

Classist lady with the dog hostage must die next

#Monsterdon

I do love those retro twirly-blinky light bars on the old police vehicles.

#Monsterdon

i just sort of instinctively change tabs when i see rich people in frame, so i missed that scene, but i also instinctively switch back when a tab starts making slug noises #monsterdon

the slugs aren't just murderers. they're perverts too.

#monsterdon

LESS KISSING, MORE SLUG MURDER

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon the slugs are watching them from the cuck chair

slugs are icky, #Monsterdon but #baseball sluggers are divine. have fun with tonight’s movie 🐌

retvrn to when the town drunk would live in a stately two-story victorian palace in a state of very moderate and reasonable disarray #monsterdon

You know it's gonna be good with all the screaming worked into the musical score

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Wade should not have waded..

No amount of Strings and Brass can make those slugs look terrifying #Monsterdon

Weird coincidence, the production company is my Myers-Briggs type. #Monsterdon

@Terencio @Lazarou That surprised the hell out of me. Multiple dogs shoehorned in for no reason and then they survived. Refreshing but also… you could have just left them out? #monsterdon

The kind of movie where afterward you feel the distinct need to watch something with significantly better production quality.

You know, like Tekwar.

#monsterdon

I don't even watch #monsterdon, but thanks to all who did - my feed was really entertaining this evening.

WE HAVE A POST CREDITS SCENE #Monsterdon

Edit: no we don't, the movie looped

All the firetrucks and ambulances are showing up at the one place in town they aren't needed

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Filmed on Location in Lyons, New York and Madrid, Spain. What a motley combination!

And everyone lived happily ever after. Never mind the slugs that the guy himself saw in the garden and other places!

#monsterdon

@steggy the person doing the screams trained 10 years for that role. #monsterdon

@mmezabet I mean what isn't? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon It ends the way it began.. with bad musical choices..

"Everybody go home now, obvious all the slugs are dead"

#Monsterdon

"We had to destroy the town to save the town"

#Monsterdon

Hey, they actually did blow the town up! Thank god, I was worried the film wouldn't have a happy ending. #Monsterdon

Uh, no. That lighter would not have burned through that cable.

#monsterdon

So one of them has to fall in the sludge, right? #Monsterdon

If the sewer pipes are leaking like that, you got other problems

#monsterdon

A Krull remake would suck, of course, but it seems like something Hollywood would do. They screwed up The Wicker Man and Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, so they might as well ruin Krull too

#monsterdon

What if the electricity just enhances the slugs' mutant powers

and now they can shapeshift and shoot lightning

#Monsterdon

FORCE LIGHTNING

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon ohnooooooooooooooooooo :( :( :( :( :(

That’s what this movie needed. Sexual assault. Keeripes #monsterdon

#Monsterdon noooo definitely slug rapey dude please

His shirt is 53 again

#monsterdon

"LIttle bit o' blue, some yellow, add some bitters, shaken not stirred..." #Monsterdon

Whoops, well, there's a big ol' death flag for sewer guy. #Monsterdon

I fried the slugs in pure Mazola!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon A woman offering coffee. Well, we checked that box huh?

"Don, I need your help, gonna need you to die in the sewers for the good of the town.....sorry Don. I'll keep your wife warm for you after you're gone, cool? "

#Monsterdon

"What halloween party?"

The one that happens at the climax of the movie! Y'know the one where dozens of teens die horribly! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon They're going to singlehandedly solve the towns sociopathy with that much Lithium.

Everybody come into my fancy bathroom with the hidden door

#monsterdon

Mister Phillips is screwed. #Monsterdon

Bookcase door! #Monsterdon

People in this movie really seem to harbour some kind of deep hatred of telephones and an aversion to using them. Which is perhaps an extended and subtle Broken Telephone gag based on how often characters repeat each other in disbelief.

#monsterdon

"The slug taps are a feature actually"

#Monsterdon

"Sure, we just saw a man be eaten alive today by slugs but that deal won't sign itself..."

#Monsterdon

Meanwhile, in Leslie Nielson's personal toilet... #Monsterdon

Didn't we watch a #monsterdon not too long ago where the fix was giant salt crystals?

Truly shocked the scientist is still alive

#Monsterdon #Slugs1988

Actually I'd pay good money for a horror movie about roller-skating slugs. #Monsterdon

MONSTER CHOMP

Oh jeez. So Dave just got his brain eaten from the inside out by an entire gaggle of little slugs, and I'm terrified to look at the hashtag because of the number of RFJ Junior brain worm jokes I'm sure will be lurking there

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Lets mix aspirin with wine, because a bleeding ulcer just needs true and devoted development.

#Monsterdon boy, that escalated quckly

Demented crickets would be a better movie

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Recharge my batteries.. whoever wrote this is a goddamn Tolstoy,.

Props to the actress for rolling around in actual slugs in the nude

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "remember to go to the bathroom after sex to avoid UTIs"

#MonsterdonBingo

Check em if you got em.

So is this a horror-comedy about slugs or an expose about horny drunks in the 80s?

#monsterdon

"alrighty, your role in this movie is Shitty Kid. make sure you sneer your upper lip and furrow your brow a lot."

#monsterdon

are we gonna have to watch these two? i mean, i do need to catch up on the timeline, but... #monsterdon

#monsterdon I'm feeling a bit sluggish tonight..

@Wyatt_H_Knott@vermont.masto.host Well, the scientist-guy hasn't done anything terrible so far.

#monsterdon #slugs

#Monsterdon this is a very realistic marital conversation.... not

this woman is in her own 1950s sitcom, meanwhile her husband is in the dumbest horror film ever made. #monsterdon

someone has kidnapped the sound director and replaced all the incidental music with the kind of stuff wallace and gromit bump on clay radio #monsterdon

And we have Lettuce! Damn. Hittin' all the sluggy tropes. ✅

#monsterdon So what kind of Highschool gets out before lunch?

#monsterdon That's how you get mono, PAM!

GOOD PANTS ALERT #monsterdon #hotpink #highwaist

Now contemplating the logistics of how slugs are able to remove a person's skin
