a man with the strength of a jellyfish

imagine what he could do

I think someone left out some credits.

Wind blowing through her hair, 100dB engine 6 inches to her right, bugs plinking off her forehead at 35mph and she just dozes softly. New Nyquil Swampmonster formula.

so he's a were-jellyfish!

#monsterdon Anyway, that was a swella swella jella jella fish movie.

#monsterdon Classic horror movie shot here.

#monsterdon Amazing interior design.

Wood panels. Yellow/White stripes. Blue bed. Red carpet.

Novelty clock shaped like a pocket watch.

This room has everything!

I note that at no point in this movie have I checked off "A plan is made" on the bingo card

"Don't think about it. I don't know. Maybe some day, someone will find an answer." The director, to himself, in reference to this whole movie. #Monsterdon

I love how much fun you're all having even if I don't want to join #Monsterdon

These swamp boats lack windscreens. Someone is going to take an egret to the face at forty five swampy kilometers per hour

Well. That was. Something vaguely movie shaped.

And it had sound.

It even lasted an hour and thirty.

I think there were people in it?

Gods fucking damn it, movie. You can't call them by their correct taxonomic name and then say they're jellyfish with cobra venom.

Just… just fuck you movie.

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath

#monsterdon So, why did the director put the black spot on the doctor's face?

Misdirection : We were supposed to think he was the Monster.

Cover-up : The actor had some kind of real injury there, and they covered it up with a black spot because they thought that would be less distracting.

Some kind of symbolism?

Character building?

Well that was classic Monsterdon nonsense...a truly terrible monster, terrible pacing and gratuitous ass!

"There's not a moment to waste." My dude, you've been wasting our time for an hour now. #monsterdon

#monsterdon "Horrible things are reeling through my head!"

Funny coincidence, a horrible thing is reeling through my movie projector.

#monsterdon Well, that was an amazing movie.

Not in a good way, but still, I'm glad to have finally seen it.

It was an experience.

Some folks didn't vote for this. I did. Fire away!

Katie: "what do you call someone who fucks jellyfish?"

Me: "I'm putting that question on the internet."

Katie: "let me know what the answer is."

you heard the lady, please form an orderly queue for submitting answers

I'll be
in a room as far away as I can muster

"Mixed with a chemical I stole from your father's lab." He doesn't know what it is, does he. He just grabbed some random bottle. #monsterdon

*frantically googling "how fast could a swamp boat boat if a swamp boat could boat swamp"*

#monsterdon Nice cave, he's clearly been to spirit halloween.

Somebody wanted a high speed airboat chase. Well, you got it. Happy now?

Morals of this #monsterdon, so far

1. don't bully people for no reason, you'll be killed by a jellyfish monster
2. don't go outside to smoke in the swamp, you'll be killed by a jellyfish monster
3. butts.

"It's raining."

"It fits our mood."

How did this not win an Oscar? #Monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON Goodbye!

What a fantastic scroll! Extremely funny for this awful film! Thank you all and have a great week!

❤️ And thank you very much @Taweret for hosting tonight's Wiggly Wonder!

🅱️ thanks to @LuciaG for bringing us the Bingo card.

🎞️ and thanks @ryan for streaming the film!

I award #StingOfDeath 2 out of 5 dancing butts. It is bad when "diving scene includes neat fish" and "also, butts" are the high points of your movie.

I would give it 1 out of 5, but the movie gets +1 for having lots of boats (and also for having an exploding cave for no reason).

The best character was the Florida wetlands, a diverse and important littoral ecosystem. The second best characters were the boats. The worst character was all of the other characters.

That was certainly one of the #Monsterdon movies we’ve watched.

As always, thanks to @Taweret for hosting, @LuciaG for the bingo, @JoeWynne for the drink recipe and trivia, @ryan for the live stream, @paco for data analysis, @combatwombat for the replay, and all of you for making it awesome!

OH MY GOD IS THAT THE END
IT IS
THE END

And that's a wreck! Jellyfish-Egon perishes horribly in his underwater cave-lair, taking with him the secret of breeding prize-sized jellyfish in captivity! Nobody ever discovers all the dead frat kids? And Hoyt, Karen, and Dr. Tight-shorts fuck off into the sea! Err swamp

Thank you for organizing, @Taweret , that was a sheer delight.

So now he's gonna take her down to the depths and make her part of his jellyfish harem, right? The rest of the movie's just Tenchi Muyo but jellyfish. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon The music choice here is amazing.

In the 1960s, even though a monster has killed an entire teen party of 30-somethings, everyone needs to be at the dinner table at 6:00.

It’s a terrible movie, but I cannot deny that I just danced “The Jella- Jella- Jellyfish” with my beagle. He’s a better dancer than most of this party.

Did anyone involved in this movie ever see a jellyfish? #Monsterdon

why did the audio engineer decide to record all the dialogue with a microphone stuck inside of an air conditioner #monsterdon

This concludes my #monsterdon movie for #StingOfDeath, a movie in which we learned what 60s pool parties are like (downside: bullying, upside: butts), and also that you shouldn't electrify your jellyfish, because that leads to murder.

Thank you to @Taweret for hosting and to everyone who participated! Please remember to preserve your region's caves and/or wetlands!

lol, it was fun watching the Frat Boat get destroyed...

is this an original score? i would have taken some of the budget from the orchestra and put it into the jellyfish #monsterdon

Is Dad going to be wearing these shorts for the rest of the movie?

in the 60s you fall in love by spending 10 minutes dancing with someone and then apologizing to them #monsterdon

⁉️STING OF TRIVIA 🪼😱

ROBBED!!

Neil Sedaka is promoted in the movie marketing, but only appears as a voice cameo. Worse, the song is horrible and it could have taken down the entire ska genre with it. We are all lucky it did not.

How can you be depressed... when you've got a frickin' AIRBOAT?!?!

@astroPug For the dancing in this movie, we have chosen to both add 1 point and subtract 1 point.

⁉️STING OF TRIVIA 🪼😱

Swamp: Has trees
Marsh: Does not have trees, only grasses

hey you know those tendrils that Hoyt just had splayed all over his shirtless chest while grappling with Egon/jellyfish? Haven't we spent the last seventy-five minutes establishing that contact with them leaves intolerably agonizing welts, with stings injecting a venom like that of the cobra?

just asking

i AM GLAD THIS MOVIE ENDED UP BEING AN MST3K MOVIE i GOT TO SEE IN THEATERS BEFORE WE DID IT HERE. BECAUSE OMG i HAD TO MAKE SURE MORE PEOPLE SEE THIS PIECE OF CRAP THAT IS NOW ON SCREEN.

On the one hand, these special effects are ludicrous. On the other hand, I’m not so sorry to see this entire frat party’s worth of ne’er do wells meet a grisly end.

say what you will they got a full 10 minutes of runtime from like 30 minutes of the choreographer just going like "alright now you two make your doot doots sort of like this, and you two do a little swingly dingly" #monsterdon

Terencio

I have done most of these dances at metal shows, just for the lulz

Why we're all here!

No one notices the big dark green creature in the bright mint green pool. #monsterdon

Running away on a jetboat is an extremely mature response to being surrounded by a mob of Chets threatening a cloud of random hostility at you #monsterdon

I don't know how a director managed to find so many actors who had never participated in a single human conversation before and had never danced before.
