Riding the boat does look like fun, I’ll admit.

Might be one of several reasons to make a movie like this.

#Monsterdon

Leave those flippers at the door! You're bringing in all that swamp mud.
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon WOW a lightly blurred nude ass, didn't expect that

and the music just... stops. Hard.

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

*ignoring obvious screaming*

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

Mother no! Oh God Mother the blood! #Monsterdon #StingOfDeath

Carnival beads! #Monsterdon

Now the monster is wearing black socks so his ankles don't show.

Also, we've all seen Psycho.

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

Couldn't even bother to clean the tile before the ankle close up. #Monsterdon #StingOfDeath

RIPOFF

BOOOOOO

RIPOFFFFFFF

#Monsterdon

Store-brand Psycho

#monsterdon

@cainmark
It is rough & irritating.
#monsterdon

ThrilL! To the blue carpet scene!

Excite! To the RED carpet scene!

#monsterdon

I mean, they could have glued more weeds to the feet. They're not even trying.

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath

Famously easy to sneak and move around in out of water, scuba flippers. #Monsterdon #SringOfDeath1966

Egon: “Will someone please help get me out of this suit?!”

#Monsterdon

Gosh, look at this room. You can't get more 60s than this .
#monsterdon
#stingofdeath1966

My bowl grows thin.

#monsterdon
#StingOfDeath1966

DId she seriously sit down, remove exactly one shoe and then grab for a cigarette? And now she got up and walked around? Is she still wearing a shoe?!?!?

#Monsterdon

The real monster is her shoulders

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

So the jellyfishman has a top swimming speed of like 60mph, then? #Monsterdon

I've noticed that any time a women lights a cigarette, it's a sure sign she's the next victim. #Monsterdon

The walls are striped to make them look slimmer. #Monsterdon #StingOfDeath

I too like to walk through a door that's 40 cm wide and remove exactly one shoe

#monsterdon

Whoops, stagehand in front of the lights. Big time. #Monsterdon

now, despite having been however the fuck far away with the boat, he'll now be in the shower waiting for her.

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

I love his stupid, translucent head!

#Monsterdon

so many stripes in this movie

#Monsterdon

@JoeWynne i am not thrilled though
#monsterdon

The women who are not yet dead always find time to put on a pretty new outfit and fix their hair and makeup. #Monsterdon

How many women stayed back? I swear it was only the Professor’s daughter and one other, but so far we’ve had two extras die this morning

#Monsterdon

I think that woman had two ashtrays, one in front of her, one next to her on the table.

Classic 60s Florida.

#monsterdon

What was that scream? Fuck that, what are those SHORTS??
#Monsterdon

Donna was walking around in muddy water and they people are diving with a nice sandy bottom.
#monsterdon

Sigh.
Remember when this movie was just about a woman listening to rubbish radio sitting on a dock?

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath #StingOfDeath1966

Beginning?? BEGINNING to get worried about everyone?? #Monsterdon #StingOfDeath #StingOfDeath1966

"and I wanna get cleaned up, too. Wanna make out, later?" "Sure!"

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

He’s got a jellyfish helmet?

#Monsterdon

He's doing underwater Tai Chi. #Monsterdon

⁉️STING OF TRIVIA 🪼😱

REVIEWS!! 2/2

Sting of Death is a "peculiar sci-fi calamity," a movie that is "wrong-headed, absurd, and unintentionally funny" but one that will nonetheless "thrill lovers of trash cinema* and confuse everyone else."

- Fred Beldin of Allmovie.com

* I feel seen

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath #StingOfDeath1966

I’m on vacation let’s live. lol who would swim in their regular clothes.

#monsterdon

25 minutes to go? is that right? please end
#monsterdon

OK, now I'm gonna take the SCUBA gear off and just swim around the same area underwater again.

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

the "let's split up" is strong in this movie

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

The survival instinct of poorly congealed lard and the peripheral vision of a dying mole.
#Monsterdon

Out of air?!?!

How long were you meandering around in that water that's only a meter deep.

#monsterdon

I don’t think flippers make you faster in water that shallow, but what do I know.

#Monsterdon

You're out of air already!? #monsterdon

📰 they're calling him the jelly man murderer, watch out 😂🪼🪼🦹‍♀️

#Monsterdon #SringOfDeath1966

@Louisa I would say movie but as I've been pretty confused about a couple of plot points I maybe biased
#monsterdon  

This movie would be fun if it weren't so incredibly by-the-numbers. Like, compared to some of the films we've seen it's not *completely* incompetent, but like it's done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING new. #Monsterdon

Oh no! Underwater, no one can hear you scream!

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath

see this is why you never leave your diving partner

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

@socketwench

"By this time my lungs were aching for air..."

#Monsterdon
#StingOfDeath1966

Egon is not sneaking up on people.

People are simply not awake.

#Monsterdon

Director: now, we’ll just have a boring part where people scuba dive. #monsterdon

Ok, I'll not wait for the end of this #monsterdon to say "Bog" was a better bad swamp movie.
The Swamp Thing was a hero movie, of course. they sould include it on DC Movie Universe.

Any of these movies we do with underwater shots are all "We spent most of our budget on this so you're seeing EVERYTHING we shot underwater by god" #Monsterdon #StingOfDeath

And now the lame Jacques Cousteau Thunderball segment of the film that was thrilling to people for whom there was still some novelty value.

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath #StingOfDeath1966

The director's instructions to the composer were "There's nothing dramatic on screen, so make up for it with the music."

#monsterdon

#monsterdon wait they were looking for the long haired girl (Donna?) but not they're all scuba diving? I don't know if this is my fault or the movie's fault

Ooo the creature is in the pool.
#monsterdon

They call scuba diving the rock climbing of the sea they do I tell ya.
#Monsterdon #StingofDeath

Sea Hunt (in color)

#Monsterdon #SringOfDeath1966

Are they in an aquarium? Because that water is more clear than the swamp.
#Monsterdon

@Violinknitter didn't realize that the cinematographer was a hopeless ass man though #monsterdon

that's some quality screaming

#monsterdon

gotta use up the B-roll

#monsterdon

What makes them think she's there? In that exact spot? #monsterdon

This movie was just an excuse to feed the director scuba addiction.

#Monsterdon #SringOfDeath1966

Aaaaand die. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

These ass hats abandon everyone!

"Where is your cousin? Sorry Ma. He couldn't keep up. Alligators probably ate the remains by now. When's dinner?"

#monsterdon They've traveled quite a distance underwater.

What's their plan?

Oh wait, never mind. They're still right next to their boat.

Good thing we have these scuba tanks to plumb the depths of this five feet of water

#monsterdon

they could not have had the money to build this, so this is all real footage, and yet somehow, they managed to shoot it in a way that makes it look incredibly fake. amazing.

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

Anyone who's been to the Everglades can tell you: the water's as clear as mud. Eeew. Do not go in there.

#monsterdon

@cocaine_owlbear@retro.pizza weren't they also like, was that a scream? I don't know. And then later we're like, oh shit, Donna's out there, that's right.

I don't think they care about her. 😅 #Monsterdon #SringOfDeath1966

I know that this is beside the point, but these underwater scenes aren't anywhere near where they dove.

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath

going to rewatch this movie every time i think i can pull off short shorts

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🪼🪼 😬 💀 😱

OK but why do you need to scuba the water is super shallow you can just walk

🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️

⁉️STING OF TRIVIA 🪼😱

Underwater sequences look familiar? They were shot at Rainbow Springs, that you remember from Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954).

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath #StingOfDeath1966

Bait bringin' up the rear. #Monsterdon

@jsadow What do you want?!? They already used up all the benzos on Louise!

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath #StingOfDeath1966

I'm trying to figure out the flag on the boat, it's not the diver down flag which is red with one white strip. It's close but not it.
#monsterdon   

Wow - that bayou is a lot bigger and cleaner once you get underwater ...

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

"Have to dive here!" - It's 2ft deep!
#monsterdon

Ooooh, so the casting director was so distracted by his pecs that they didn’t notice he couldn’t say a line realistically to save his life

#Monsterdon

So, lets scuba dive and see if we can find our friend's corpse, all right? It will be fun!
#monsterdon
#stingofdeath1966

"Jessica, stay close."

We'll need some shots of me fruitlessly attempting to rescue you when the monster attacks. #Monsterdon

So, Donna said that she was going back to the boat. They arrive at the boat, call her name like three times, and immediately pile into the boat and tale off.

So… either they don't really like Donna all that much or she has a history of wandering off.

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath

...where are they diving to if they can stand on the bottom??

#monsterdon

🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️

Don scuba equipment now for searching in 2 feet of water

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath #StingOfDeath1966

@amyfou What did we want exactly?

#monsterdon

Very important to make sure your diving gear is properly installed and in working order when operating in three feet of water

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

That girl is dead by the time all of you get your gear on.

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath

"I know, let's put the pretty blonde woman in scuba gear and send her into the swamp. What could go wrong?" #Monsterdon

Imagine if a movie today did that, but with a queer couple.

Sure, our only onscreen interactions have involved you talking down to me, watching you take part in a violent mob, and cleaning up several bodies both living and dead, but the rain is just so romantic, isn’t it?

They’d reinstate the Hays Code within the week.
#Monsterdon

Don't worry, it's just the bikini top 👙 #Monsterdon #SringOfDeath1966

That dude got the part because he could actually drive an airboat. Must have because he sure can’t act.

#Monsterdon

That's right, telling a woman to relax is the best way to get them to calm down 🙄

#monsterdon
