#monsterdon My dearest monsterdonians, it is time to place your bets. The nature of the snow beast is:

(🔄🙏 ❄👿)

That is the first time that actor ever met the word 'FACETIOUS'

#monsterdon

also, that fuzzy white coat is 🔥🔥🔥

#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

the blonde playing the part of the sacrificial Black guy i this 1970s movie

#monsterdon #Snowbeast

No joke on the Scandinavian bit. Bo Svenson, who is one of the stars. His dad was the King of Sweden's bodyguard.

#monsterdon

Oh my the acting can be felt from across the valley......

#monsterdon

Foreboding music whilst looking between tree trunks. That's never good.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon the beast needs a manicure

#Snowbeast

GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO!

#monsterdon #Snowbeast

@davesdogmaggie @liferstate They're both alive. We should get them on here and have a Bo-off! May the best Bo win!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon #Snowbeast

🦖#MONSTERDON Goodbye!

Thank you @Taweret for hosting this pitiful beast of a film! Totally on trend for the season!

❄️ and thanks @cheribaker for the Bingo card! My fave: "Implied sex". I used it liberally in my mind.

❄️ And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: Happy Squatchin' this winter season! Enjoyed the commentary!

...except someone used the word Cerulean and I thought they were taking about a #StarTrek alien.

#Snowbeast

Ok, about 4m40s from the end,

Tony: "Get the rifles, Ellen! And the other skis!"

Ellen: "Ok"

So the last line of the movie was, "ok"

#Monsterdon

*extremely Karen Carpenter voice*
🎵 Just, look at the four of us
Strangers, in so many ways
We’ve got a snow beast to kill… 🎶

#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

@otheorange_tag @OldRustBucket@universeodon.com a barbaric time without honour #monsterdon

@rdm The first part was about marriage and the second part was about aimless nothingness and senseless violence so overall it was about divorce.

#Monsterdon

That’s it? Sigh. #Monsterdon

screenplay written by the screenwriter for Psycho!?!?!? come on you could have fit in some fucked up freudian shit in there somewhere. #monsterdon

And more yeti art
#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

Nodded off and found myself in the credits of Grizzly, which seems to be the same movie without snow.

#monsterdon #snowbeast1977

Throwing a loaded handgun, now that's always safe 😵

#Monsterdon

Oh no, a pile of nearly perfectly cylindrical logs that are lined up with the camper!

That's like something out of Loony Tunes.

#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

@moira it just wanted to party, and Gar killed it with a sharp stick. A tale as old as time. Poor fugly snowbeast

#monsterdon

THEY DIDN'T EVEN LET US SEE THE DEAD SNOWBEAST

Ok as others have said, I'm now convinced they didn't make a Snowbeast costume

#Monsterdon

you had the perfect chance to quip “in the end, ‘twas beauty killed the beast” and you BLEW it #monsterdon

AND HE WAS RIGHT TO HATE SKIS

#monsterdon

Noooo his little creature faceeee
#monsterdon

C'mon Gar, you don't need a pistol, just pick up one of those trees and hit the snowbeast

#monsterdon

You won't be able to pull a trigger with those giant gloves dude

#monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

❄️ 👹 TRIVIA BEAST ❄️ 👹

You poor naive kids, the answer is that the creature is actually onscreen for

LESS THAN ONE MINUTE! 🙁

#Snowbeast

Excellent, we're back to The Slope again

Yes

#monsterdon

Snowbeast is cold-blooded confirmed.

If it were warm-blooded, those blood splats would be a little deeper.

#Monsterdon

Did Gar just plant his ski poles, crouch, then.... run forward on foot? 🤣 #monsterdon

Snowbeast is holding onto his anger for some reason. That's not healthy

#monsterdon

Maybe the Snowbeast wouldn't need to eat so many people if it didn't waste so much energy snarling and growling literally every breath all the time

#Monsterdon

"Ho ho ho. Now I have a hunting rifle."
-- signed on the sheriff''s corpse
#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

So far we have 70% random skiing and snowmobiling footage, 15% monster attacks, 10% love polyhedron, and 5% brilliant nature documentary

#Monsterdon

"I found a gun!"

What a goofy movie this turned out to be.

#Monsterdon

You know, I'd be in a pretty bad mood too if that orchestra kept following me around playing awful tension hooks while a grip off camera kept making growling sounds.

#monsterdon

Snowbeast trying to hide between scattered skinny trees

#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

Thank god, skies! I was really worried about that. No worries about no guns.
#monsterdon

@Lazarou @OldRustBucket Those things might be related... I can't eat cheese now, great! #Monsterdon

Get the Giant to move the trees, good

#monsterdon

Wait, why was there a big pile of logs out there in the middle of the woods?

#monsterdon

OK, so Snowbeast is waging war on the local Homo Sapiens, possibly from a grudge that has been festering for millennia

#monsterdon

"In this soundtrack, the yeti will be represented by the big scary tuba!" -- Some jackass composer probably #Monsterdon

And they tragically discover that the Snowbeast is smarter than humans. #monsterdon

plot twist snowbeast is actually box from logan’s run #monsterdon

That bear was another victim of patriarchy.

#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

Well that scene ended like an old Doctor Who serial cliffhanger.
#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

There's a ski resort near my town. I can't imagine local cops recruiting the stoner bros who work there for a Bigfoot posse.

(Full disclosure: I worked at the lodge the year after high school. I got fired for stealing alcohol.)

#monsterdon

I have never seen a more blatant Jaws ripoff since all the sequels to Jaws.

#Monsterdon

What? Did they all throw away their guns after the logs hit the camper van? That seems like a bright strategy.

#monsterdon

Shit, now the snowbeast is armed!

#monsterdon #Snowbeast1977

everyone knows you put the guns away for hot cocoa time. it cant be gun time all the time. it just cant.
#Monsterdon

As most anthropologists know, drones flying over New Jersey are not bears but snowbeasts.

#Monsterdon

I'm glad they lost the skis

oh good, back to the barn, one of the 3 locations in this movie.

#monsterdon

Wood-valanche!!! #snowbeast #monsterdon

wait what the FUCK did they just leave him there????? WHERE ARE THE GUNS THEY BROUGHT uhhhhhhhhh #monsterdon

if the beast is human-like, doesn’t that make it a cannibal?

#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

lol, did all four of them spend the night in there? Cosy.....

#monsterdon

It never occurs to these people to warn the public about a murderer in a Bigfoot costume.

#Monsterdon #snowbeast

why are we still DOING the love triangle #monsterdon

Svenson, a Swede, learned one US accent and did that one in every movie.

#monsterdon

@diazona this thing is like an onion...... #monsterdon

@Lazarou My sister says probably we are the Greek guy pushing a rock

...she may have a point

#Monsterdon

FUCK THESE SKIIS IN PARTICULAR #Monsterdon

i want octaman to jump out of that camper #monsterdon

Wait, they went off and left the driver's side window down?

Also, snowbeast hates skis.

#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

We were all about some Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti back in the 70s. #monsterdon

just the six of us!
#Monsterdon

Suddenly Octaman pops out of the camper like "THIS ONE'S MINE TOO, FOOL!"

(I can dream)

#Monsterdon

“Just the 48 of us!”

“Make that the 49 of us!”

#snowbeast #monsterdon

Tony's not the first guy to elbow his way into the polycule by owning a vehicle with enough seating #monsterdon

Octaman steps out of camper.

#monsterdon #Snowbeast1977

Svenson was happy with Wizards Of The Lost Kingdom (1985), but he wanted to bury this one.

#monsterdon

@SesameSquirrel

All kinds of possibilities in this movie, but little execution.

#Snowbeast ❄️ 👹#Monsterdon

the crossed skis on the coffin took me out tho omg
#Monsterdon

ridiculous to just murder a bear without trial. bears are my favourite guy.
#Monsterdon

wuarshington

#monsterdon #Snowbeast

Call off the Winter Carnival? That's crazy talk. #monsterdon

……….. what
They dragged some bear out of hibernation
What is the end game here
#monsterdon

Is the Snowbeast full? I mean, no one's died in the last 12 hours. #Monsterdon

That's a really nice shot of the mountain.
#Monsterdon #Snowbeast

Classic burial at snow. Six gun salute then they kick the sleigh coffin down the mountain. #monsterdon

A ski lodge burial?
To Buster, whose life happened amongst his employer

#monsterdon

Was it the Snow Queen @bunnyhero @LK_877 ?

#Monsterdon ❄️ #Snowbeast1977 https://mastodon.social/@SesameSquirrel/113699911343044923

i'm starting to think this movie doesn't actually have an orgy

#monsterdon

Get a room you two – or another barn I suppose.

#monsterdon

Snowbeast screen time is expensive, I can tell. They aren't paying him scale. #monsterdon

Wait. Is this really about Gar confronting his demons and getting back on skis?

#monsterdon

Is this a KISSING movie? #monsterdon

Next scene:

Threesome with Snowbeast

#Monsterdon

Seems to me a giant man would naturally not be a good natural skier

#monsterdon

She can't be a reporter. She has to be a lady reporter.

#Monsterdon #snowbeast

And then the snowbeast breaks down the wall Kool-Aid Man style and kills them both, and not a moment too soon #Monsterdon

snowbeast needs a cocaine landslide

#monsterdon #snowbeast

The giant emoting is more unsettling than see him on skies.

Did Rob Liefeld write this romantic subplot?

#monsterdon
