Director: Listen, this movie needs, NEEDS BUTTS!!!!
#monsterdon  

"LADY STOP MOVING DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO MOVE IN A WETSUIT AND FLIPPERS"

#monsterdon

#monsterdon That is not the same boat they arrived in!

Smoking kills. #monsterdon

Alien vs Predator but it's rubber ass vs wet ass #Monsterdon #StingOfDeath #StingOfDeath1966

even the chase scene is mostly butt shots

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

they made that poor actress crawl around in that gross muck

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon The monster seems to have more to do with dude-in-wetsuit-who-has-a-gnarly-amount-of-fiber-optic-cable-cut dangling from him. He's less dangerous to people and more troublesome to BGP routing engineers…

#monsterdon She SAID she was going back to the boat, so why didn't they start looking there?

You just knew they were going to get her dress wet so her ass would show through it.

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

This whole thing is just a mod snuff film, isn't it?

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

Swamp Thing: The early years

#monsterdon

This is Egon in a rubber suit, right? #monsterdon

Presumably the woman can't hear the advance of the jellyfish man over the overly dramatic and hackneyed music.

#monsterdon

Did the director choose to kill off all the hottest women in this movie just to neg the actresses?

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath #StingOfDeath1966

Smoking kill kids
#monsterdon  

Early anti smoking PSAs didn’t mess around.

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

To be fair, Portuguess Man-O-War really do a look a lot like plastic bags.

#Monsterdon

The jellyman attacks cute redheads first? Jellyman is the worst.
#Monsterdon #StingofDeath

@Taweret I went to a Florida beach ONE TIME and managed to see jellyfish.

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

The summer before my senior year of hs, i got stung in the leg by some sort of jellyfish that was worse than the norm. It felt like somone stabbed a knife in my leg & then my leg went numb. I swam back just using my arms & every time i got hot for the next 3mo the site of the injury swelled back up.
Didnt care for the ocean after that
#monsterdon

There's Egon

Fancying himself behind a tree, the scamp

#Monsterdon

It is not physically possible to be this oblivious. #Monsterdon

Look out! You're being stalked by somebody in a wet suit wearing a trash bag over their head!

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

"In 1964, Sedaka's career began a sharp decline,"
#monsterdon

@JoeWynne Part of me really hopes so.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Amazing.

I can't tell if we're supposed to understand that he's a human wearing a wet-suit and flippers in-story, or if it's just terrible costume construction.

I can’t keep these characters apart. Louise was kind of mean, right?

Oh well.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🪼🪼 😬 💀 😱

seriously who are these people where did that blonde lady come from and why is fluffy-midriff-bearing-top lady somehow now part of the family or whatever this is?

dude, you shoulda given Eegone a chance to clear his browser history...

#Monsterdon

I bet this music wasn't originally written for this film. If it was, I want some of the drugs they had. #monsterdon

Dear god, vertical stripe shorts. #Monsterdon

the mole is shrinking at the same rate as his pants

#monsterdon

@floatybirb It creates an ugly subtext if this movie can be said to have subtext

#monsterdon

The important thing is, the actors got to ride around on a fun little hovercraft.

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

That close-up was of a different boat that actually had a cage around the fan.

I'd like to push them all into those blades......

#monsterdon

So which is more pointless, the dance scenes or this extended travelogue? #Monsterdon

Come on movie, a very one-sided love-triangle between Karen, Egon, and Chad McHandsome was RIGHT THERE.

But no, gotta have the paper thin character-free dull guy with good prospects just fall into the lead role by accident.

LAME LAME LAME. BORING. Yes it's the mid-sixties and they didn't know any better until Young Frankenstein, but c'mon.

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath #StingOfDeath1966

@JoeWynne It’s probably 5 or 5:30pm.

#Monsterdon

Do you want hippies? This entire movie is how you get hippies.

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

#monsterdon This is the everglades equivilant of padding out your movie with a long driving scene.

Screaming in horror at single use plastics in the water. Yes. Indeed. Environmental Cinema here, folks.

#Monsterdon

@randy_s I bet this movie was really scary for blind people!

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

No. Love is dead.

#Monsterdon

Oh yeah, back when scuba gear was called Aqua-Lungs

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

A beautiful view of the chimney

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

I will say buried in this cheap looking monster movie, is a really really high body count. OMG. Like 20 people are dead now.
#Monsterdon #StingofDeath

THE MAJESTY OF BABY BOOMER LOVE

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Just in one "day" that huge injury on his forehead has shrunk quite impressively. The miracle of seawater?

#monsterdon This was probably scary as hell for people who never lived in/visited florida/owned an encyclopedia with pictures.

The movie's only half over and we know exactly who the monster is. Hm.

#Monsterdon #StingofDeath1966

#monsterdon Perfectly normal design for an island summer home : Windows directly facing walls.

That way people who live in the city will feel at home.

all our friends are dead, let's have a dinner party

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe it really stings

#monsterdon

I would not have expected that ass to belong to Egon.

#monsterdon

I can't decide if the plastic bag jellyfish are better or worse than the terrible CGI seagulls in Birdemic. #Monsterdon #StingOfDeath

I feel like we're supposed to feel sorry for those dead assholes, but my friends in Pharasma, the Owlbear does not.

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath

Victory for the jelly.

Also there's a lot of Drone Corpses in this movie. Even that acting is not very convincing. #Monsterdon #SringOfDeath1966

Ankles! Jellyfish-man has exposed ankles!

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

hide those ankles, you slut

#monsterdon

THE WRECKAGE OF MISSPENT YOUTH

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou Knowing Florida, maybe both?

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

Oh yes, Neil Sedaka's famous Jellyfish Dirge.

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath

OH THE HUMANTies students

#monsterdon

"Remember, if she develops an infection, put her out of her misery with this."

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

@Taweret Maybe he's like Aquaman but specifically for jellyfish.

So like Aquaman but somehow worse.

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

Ouch I think I hurt something suspending disbelief

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

You'd think the difficulty the actor had swinging this believably would have told the director how absurd it is.
#monsterdon

#monsterdon #stingofdeath1966

We have now reached peak #monsterdon.

I don't think we can go any higher.

I'm guessing the giant mutant jellyfish has Aquaman-like powers over normal jellyfish. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon
THOSE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE JELLYFISH???

what's happening?

#monsterdon

@Terencio

Now imagining the band on the deck of the Titanic playing ska

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

So I guess all the money went into buying and sinking a boat?
#monsterdon  

I don't know what they made those "jellyfish" out of, but I bet you they left all that fucking plastic in the water when they finished filming for the day.

(I'm getting a real used-condom vibe off of them, tbh.)

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath

To be fair, those are balloons with strings attached. That really elevates the cinematic experience.

#monsterdon #stingofDeath1966

Four zoomed in buttshots (so far).

Modern cinema wishes it could be this sexy.
#Monsterdon

"We'll just film the jellyfish out of focus, that way nobody'll be able to tell they're just plastic baggies with balloons in them."

#Monsterdon

That was a big boat to go from zero to sunk in 3 seconds. #monsterdon

Ah yes. The well-known plastic-bag jellyfish attack...

#Monsterdon

Oh, so all the real actors are the bit players. That’s one way to save money

This scene actually looks pretty fun to act

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon "Look! Jellyfish!"
[cut to plastic bags]
"Water's pouring in the bottom! Boat's sinking!"

Lol what... what

I grew up near the Atlantic Ocean and was really afraid of jellyfish for most of my childhood. But maybe if they looked more like inflated ziploc bags, I wouldn't have been.

#monsterdon

does the monster guy control the regular jellyfish? is that what's happening?

#monsterdon

Those aren’t jellyfish! It’s plastic trash polluting the St. John’s River.

#Monsterdon

turns out you CAN just tie up a bunch of balloons in plastic bags and film them out of focus and pretend they're jellyfish. It's totally legal. No one will stop you.

#Monsterdon

@pngwen Film did cost a few bucks. And very, very few dollars were spent on this movie.

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath

This jellyfish scene has to go down in the "best of" for #monsterdon

Oh the humanity!

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath

Death by colored Ziplock bags.
#Monsterdon #StingofDeath

Boat sank AND transformed into a different model. #Monsterdon

Oh my god, it's out of focus painted plastic bags. #Monsterdon #SringOfDeath1966

The larger the group of people you bring along, the smoother things are sure to go.... #monsterdon

#monsterdon #stingofdeath1966

FAKE JELLIES OMG!

LOL

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

Those are jellyfish? They look like plastic toys

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

Look! Trashbags!

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

ben, ben ben...
