And as the jellyfish set slowly in the west, we salute Egon for forming the first inter-species psychic link with a jellyfish. As always, there's just one last thing to do before you leave the theater:

Was STING OF DEATH (1966) the WORST #Monsterdon movie of the year?

"But I found the answer: sea water... electricity... and human blood! And some chemicals I stole from your father's lab."

"Some chemicals" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that crucial plot point we just sailed past there

i don't know much about airboats but i just figure they would be a lot more careful about the giant propeller and not just leave a woman with long hair dangling directly into the prop #monsterdon

#monsterdon Honestly though has anyone else noticed exactly how much striped textile this movie has? 2/3 scenes have at least one textile with stripes. Go skip around the film for a minute or two if you don't believe me.

He doesn't need a hospital! He just needs to DO THE JELLYFISH again!!!

#monsterdon I still don't understand.

Is he wearing a wetsuit with a jellyfish on his head?

Or has he turned into a jellyfish and the wetsuit is his new skin?

Igon wins the boat chase sequence and swims Karen to his secret Jellyfish Radio Cave, which has a fake skull in it for some reason. Getting wet wakes Karen up from her plot induced coma, so Igon can threatening ask her if she likes him, and she scream "yes, yes of course I like you!" because she's been kidnapped by a murderous jellyfish monster.

Egon, getting along with people is a complicated pursuit. There is no right way to do it, that's true. But there _is_ a _wrong_ way to do it, and sexual assault is definitely that

While trapping her in a bedroom, Igon tells Karen he loves her and also had to murder all those people so they could be together, and then Karen realizes that he is a jellyfish monster. This realization causes her to pass out so Igon can kidnap her, absconding via fan boat.

Head Spot and Stripe Shirt then realize she is missing and set off after them, so we can have a Riveting Fan Boat Chase Sequence (TM).

Donna, terrified: "welp, I've stumbled through this swamp for about thirty seconds and now I'm tired, but the jellyfish monster keeps coming. Guess I'll sit down and die!"

"Look! Jellyfish!"

"There's more of them!"

"They're attacking!!"

"The boat's sinking!"

Those are
plastic bags
and they are just floating there

Jellyfish don't hate boats, they hate NUCLEAR REACTORS, this strains plausibility

Oh never mind, suddenly we have a replacement brunette, redhead, and _two_ blondes.

Apparently we are following Hydra rules: drown one blonde, two more rise to take her place!

Hey does anyone else feel like this lighthearted instrumental ditty is a bit tonally inappropriate for "drowned victim being dragged by hear hair into the benthic depths by a horrifying monster"

Horrible movie, but just right for commenting on how bad it is in places.

This morning I folded my niece's striped shirt from the laundry.

Which made me think about the striped shirts in the movie "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" and the fun Disney world ride I took in the 1970s.

Now this movie has stripes everywhere.

And I just saw a reference to John Candy in the movie "Stripes".

Is a time traveler trying to tell me something today?

@WhiteCatTamer That is an excellent point, this movie did include excellent furnishings and room decorations.

I would probably rank the furnishings after the boats but before all of the human and jellyfish-human hybrid characters.

β™« He don't use jelly
Or any of these
He uses Vaseline! β™«

So he doesn't wear a suit, he's *becoming* a jelly? With a plastic bag?

Star Trek fight music!

Every other scene touching the jelly man kills Humans… here frat boy can just wrassle it & it dies.

Where did they get the fuel to finish the chase & escape, anyway?

Well, everything sucked except maybe the kidnap scene.

This whole Monsterdon is wired! Thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting, and special thanks to the crew for getting me a pair of tight shorts that look like a circus tent. πŸŽͺ
