So these are kind of "land piranhas"

#monsterdon

_slug full-on eats an entire hamster_

*smash cut back to Bobby and Donna*

_slugs full-on eat an entire Donna_

Oop they got Bobby too. Well played, slugs.

#monsterdon

i wish this scene mirrored the opening scene

"come on, get out of those slugs. this isn't funny. babe, haha. come on. get up. get outta there! we're wasting time. baaaabe, stop it."

#monsterdon

Hahaha omg this is awesome. Awesome. The slugs are overpowering her. Are we sure this isn’t a Corman movie? #monsterdon

#monsterdon Really careful dissection here.

He looks like he's slicing up a piece of chicken.

#monsterdon Everyone in town loved their perms. Rollers, teasing, men and women together, in the giant dryers at the beauty salons.

That basement bar will be filled with carpenter ants in 40 years. Ask me how I know!

#monsterdon

yeah sex is great but oh look alcohol #monsterdon

@Cherizilla Yeah totally! I thought that was normal....

#Monsterdon

Are we supposed to believe that this dude is being chomped from the inside by a slug that we watched being mandolined into little sluggy mini-donuts

#monsterdon

Slug Jazz!

#Monsterdon #Slugs

#monsterdon Nobody looks at anything they eat. Or smell anything. Absolutely no awareness at all. I want him to be chockablock full of slugs, that would be great!

#monsterdon David.. I'm sorry for being a bitch so much of the time..

#Monsterdon SLUG SALAD DOESN"T AGREE WITH ME

"I can't risk losing you."

That's the slug's job. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon A little fun fact, Diatomaceous Earth is fantastic for gardens, it is a nightmare for slugs and snails to traverse over.

we're spending a lot of time with bad people, but we're not really getting anything about the slug perspective

tsk

#monsterdon

also, i think their license plate said ###-ZUL, so are the slugs the Keymaster? or is that one of these disgusting heterosexuals. #monsterdon

There’s more than one disgusting protuberance in this scene #monsterdon

...Why'd she take her shirt off? #Monsterdon

you don't look at the food you're chopping? like at all?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Announcer breaks in: "Proper greenhouse manager would have averted this disaster"..

lol, slugs in the lettuce, we all know how deadly American lettuce is!

#Monsterdon

lol, what an elaborate death trap that greenhouse was....

#Monsterdon

I wish we were watching the movie what's her name with the drinking problem is watching

#monsterdon

@srol Our *teachers* made us do that at the start of every year!

#monsterdon

This guy is trying to Evil Dead his hand #monsterdon

This movie was recorded in English and then dubbed over in English, but no one knows why

#monsterdon

didn't the Frogs kill someone in a greenhouse full of deadly chemicals?

#Monsterdon

Is Pam the girl from the opening scene? All these white people look the same.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon That bibb lettuce hides a terrible secret. It wriggles.

Oh I recognize this greenhouse from Frogs (1972)!

edit: to be clear, I am very aware that this is not the same actual greenhouse, I just expect it to serve a similar narrative purpose in this film

#monsterdon

lol, 'mom's kitchen wine'...this one peaked at high school, didn't she?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Honneey.. the music's baaack..

They're making it really hard to determine who are the good kids and who are the bad kids

#Monsterdon #Slugs1988

#monsterdon Holy crow! A POWER MULLET.

Mullet perm warrior

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon teacher's outfit is _sizzling_

The dude inspecting the sewer is wearing a half-mask particulate respirator, not a rebreather. What is that supposed to do about high levels of methane, exactly? And shouldn't the suit be a little bit more... hermetically sealed? It looks like he's just wearing a raincoat.

Oh man! Slug stole his pipe probe! THIEF

#monsterdon

Sure take off the mask. What could possibly be in the air?

#monsterdon

No eye protection? Seriously?

#monsterdon

I wonder what the slugs are up to

#Monsterdon

Salute to all those people who go into the ickiest holes of our cities to unclog stuff and keep our streets free of shit

#Monsterdon

watch out, young man! It's dangerous to dress like The Guy From The Movie Cover!!!!!

#monsterdon

Another Doomed Dog since the last one was spared. #monsterdon

#monsterdon MS Windows manager, I swear to God.. I'm gonna set the slugs on ya.

#Monsterdon love the secretary's hair

#monsterdon Looks like the previous owner was a Taco Bell enthusaist. The toilet bears the scars.

#monsterdon Wow, look at all those pizzas!

#monsterdon The weirdest cop car music ever..

Body count: 2

The slugs are getting off to a strong, fast start. Dog's fine though! (I forgot to check doesthedogdie.com for this movie, heck.)

#monsterdon

awwww, poor doggie!

Somebody look after him

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "sir we're here to evict you. you'll have to remove all your slugs from the premises"

The music says "It's a glorious morning here in Reagan's America! Let's go toss an addict out into the streets!" #Monsterdon

lol, "Wicked bitch of the north"

Are we about to see some parent's vhs sex videos?

#Monsterdon

that guy and his wife have the same haircut, their marriage will last. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Slugs in the couch, bedbugs everywhere, and Yuppies! YUPPIES YUPPIES YUPPIES

i hope this entire movie is unrelated characters dying offscreen to slugs. that would be the most frustrating and funniest option

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon elder abuse! those kids deserve to die by slug

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the garden

#monsterdon

Raced home from a family gathering, unloaded groceries, talked with Mum far too briefly, got Slugs rolling just in time

#monsterdon

Of course SLUGS write in cursive
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon yesssss

Horror movies LOVE playing the Loon sound effect #monsterdon

#Monsterdon eat the annoying dude!

lol, why is she going swimming in her panties?

#Monsterdon

@aaron
Be careful. That’s how I got sucked in. The comments were funny and I had to go find out what it was about. 75 terrible movies later… #monsterdon

One last thing - that was based on a book. Slugs, by Shaun Hutson. It has a Wikipedia page which, and I quote "has multiple issues". Somehow that seems apropos.

#monsterdon

OK time to eat some pizza way better than what was in Slugs and watch something way better than Slugs

#Monsterdon

Be glad for small mercies: at least there wasn’t a giant queen slug in the heart of the slug nest!
#monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON Goodbye!

Thank you @Taweret for hosting this slimy slog!

and thanks @Cherizilla for the Bingo card! Never thought I would see "Gardening Equipment" next to "Butt" except in a bad porn movie.

And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: Hadn't laughed this hard in a long time. Evidence is mounting in the Monsterdon database that coherent anti-monster plans only appear in Kaiju movies. Getting up in the middle of the night? Step lightly.

@binford2k but they missed the opportunity to specify that it should be a dark, moist place... #monsterdon

@allanb @moira @Taweret wow that must have been 5000 really disappointed movie-goers #monsterdon #slugs1988

@Terencio I don't think he did unless he was standing over a manhole at the time
Poor Pam

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🐌 🐌 🐌 💀 🩸 😱

thank you @Taweret for hosting, @Cherizilla for bingo and @JoeWynne for trivia

even though I'm far away from home it was nice to share #Monsterdon with @jivens especially, and thanks to all you #monsterdonians for making it fun!

@CactuarJoe I've got the weirdest appetite.... #Monsterdon

Just think, there could have been salt...

Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everyone for posting!

#Monsterdon

That last teen death is still pissing me off. #monsterdon

@SordidAmok they replicate in the way that White Male Leads did in that movie #Monsterdon

Was exploding half the town really the best solution they could think of? #Monsterdon

SLUGS (1988) 3/5

a bunch of joyless shovelware. 1 star for existing and 2 stars for the ONE TIME we were shown a slug having a big bitey mouth.

#monsterdon #monsterdonReviews

Thanks to @Taweret for all the slow moving horror!

I hope everyone has a great week and remembers that salt is a thing, and that anchovy in salad is a bad idea for a variety of reasons!

Slime ya later

#Monsterdon #Slugs1988

@allanb @Taweret and every dollar hard-earned

by the audience

#monsterdon #slugs1988

this club has everything

slugs

idiots

fools

more slugs

sewer fires

uh

#monsterdon #slugs1988

the hell part of this was filmed in Madrid, Spain????
#monsterdon

Ah, I believe it’s Blood Freak. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_Freak
#Monsterdon

Oh! A slug survived. No one could have foreseen that. #monsterdon

Anyway, that was a movie all right. Thanks for the commentary.

#monsterdon #slugs

wait, did the rapist ever get his comeuppance? #monsterdon

Huh. I thought Don was gonna be the survivor

#monsterdon

And then everyone in town who wasn't blown up ate salad and screwed until dawn. Made it through this time. Couldn't have done it without #Monsterdon. Thanks again to @Taweret for hosting. Have a great week kids and WASH THOSE GREENS. #Slugs1988

#monsterdon Not even "The End" card, just the credits. But that's fine. It wasn't as gory as I was expecting, bleh. But still a fun trip. Not enough of the cast was dispatched, goddammit. ;)

man what the fuck even was this movie
#monsterdon

This is a supervillain origin story if I've ever seen one

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🐌 🐌 🐌 💀 🩸 😱

Everything's OK again <-- this music

until suddenly

Everything's not OK again <-- this other music

I'm going to suggest this has now taken bottom spot for worst Monsterdon movie this year.

#Monsterdon

Okay, sequel bait. I guess

#monsterdon #slugs

#Monsterdon slugs live! bwahahahahahahaha

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's feature, #Slugs, from 1988, showed us what happens when a town runs out of salt. We also had:

Where's Alice when you need her? Getting drunk and horny with Sam the butcher?
