Wow. I didn't vote for this movie but I'm sooooooo glad others did.
This one knocked it out of the park.
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?
Egon, you're... Uh, Egon do you want a tissue? Or, uh, two? #Monsterdon
"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
and now, villain monologue
Egon: βThey told me I couldnβt do it. But I did it. I did it, Karen! I made a jellyfish suit!β
#monsterdon Water, electricity, human blood. These were the ingredients chosen...
it's more about the murder and kidnapping Egon, rather than looks...
#monsterdon Wait! How did fiddling with the spark-plugs fix the air boat?
IT WAS OUT OF GAS!
This would be a useful skill these days, eh?
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
Is the spot on his head a plot point because I seem to remember it being discussed and it's distracting...
#monsterdon Would you love me more if I wasn't squinting?
#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.
If she smokes, jellyfish pokes!
You smoke, you die.
Quick, to the L. P. Hovercraft!
#monsterdon ooooooooh I hear laughter in the rain, stalked by jellyfish with the one I love πΆ
π¦MONSTERDON ποΈ
In 1966, even a low-level lab assistant could afford a secret laboratory in an underwater cave.
this is satisfying death and mayhem, lol
"sir they don't really look like jellyfish at all, they are clearly just plastic bags"
"just make it a little out of focus nobody is going to be able to tell"
#monsterdon
He doesn't need a hospital! He just needs to DO THE JELLYFISH again!!!
lol, I know people can drown in pools in the middle of a party (ay, Michael Barrymore?) but this is ridiculous
#monsterdon They keep cutting to the extreme close-ups of a girl in a black bikini who doesn't appear in any of the wide shots.
BACK TO BACK DISCO TEENS SCENES NOW THIS iS FANSERVICE #monsterdon
"what'll we do with him, Leader"
did they not even name these characters at all?
#monsterdon
Butts! Butts! BUTTS!!!!!
#monsterdon oh no we've attracted a booze cruise! Everyone try to look big, wave your arms and throw sticks

βοΈSTING OF TRIVIA πͺΌπ±
Interior filming for tonight's feature was completed at the home of producer Flink.
These new dance moves are⦠deadly!
the motor noise actually decreased when the boat started to run #monsterdon
Hmmn β¦ opening with a bathing beauty dragged underwater by mysterious monster while heavy music playsβ¦ My God! βJawsl is just a shot for a shot remake of βSting of Death!
These two smart people REALLY trust that guy Egon... who just happened to show up right when Karen's two friends were found murdered.
I think I'm kinda on the side on the guy freeing the shark tbh...
Worst in an enjoyable way.
In the Year 2889 was the worst in an unenjoyable way.
(Team In the Year 2889 Sucks till I die!)
I mean how could a man with a plastic bag over his head fight? Jellyfishman was doomed from inception...
Lol you can clearly see the βrocksβ she falls back onto move and shift like bags.
#Monsterdon
That was terrible but in a way I could enjoy much of the time :D
Thanks @Taweret for hosting and y'all for posting!
Maybe, someday, men and jellyfish can live in peace and harmony...
But not today.
Whoops, cave fart. #Monsterdon
the interior of the jellyfish head is mostly weed smoke
One wrong move and that flare's gonna ignite the plastic bag and we're gonna have one helluvan OSHA violation. #Monsterdon
Stop making that face when covered in...that
ewww, he jizzed over himself, this was unnecessary!
#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?
Egon... egon you got a little something on your face there.
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.
@aburka "Would you rather be stuck in the swamp with a bear or a jellyfish..."
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
sploooosh
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).
I mean, honestly it IS the best part of the movie so far.
Except for the poorly-fitted music.
SWAMP BOAT CHASE
"OK Boss, just gimme the $300 and... uh... come back in two weeks, I'll be done... I mean, THE SUIT will be done then."
worst
swoon
EVAR
she just went all limp and woobly-wobbly, arms and legs just drifting in space as if to snag unsuspecting prey passing by
Sneaking is my super power. Thatβs my secretβ¦ Iβm always sneaking
Egon is channeling Torgo
I think when Doctor Dad says some dumb thing at the end to imply a sequel his dot should turn into a semicolon
yeeeep,, there it is, "Underwater action scene"
Dialogue? Fuck off!
'What's going on?'
Exactly.
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!"
oh Donna
shoulda known you were a gonna
when you went out on the lawn-a
then went for a wander
I was stung by a jellyfish once. I donned a striped shirt and danced it off.
The worst thing about the fake jellyfish is that we donβt get to hear animal-loving Monsterdoners telling us a bunch of fun facts about the jellyfish on screen
shouldn't that giant exposed propeller have something around it to prevent you from being obliterated by it #monsterdon
Quick! Pee on her face! Hurry!
"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
lmao did they just have the head of the hatchet prop fall off and go with the shot anyway #monsterdon
@Taweret Unfortunately, they are supposed to be monster jellyfish feet. You know, like they have.
Glad a red shirt got it....
@Terencio thank you for your courage and heroism #monsterdon
I always hated Neil Sedaka
they were so busy doing that awful dance to that awful song they didn't notice the jellyfish man waiting in the pool...
I don't mean to be racist, but⦠nothing this white existed before this scene, and nothing ever shall again.
@jivens (it's butts)
PARTY BOAT!!! YAY!!!
@jonny #Monsterdon that's just how things sound in Florida.
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!
π¬
Huge zit!
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"
asking for a friend
I do hope there is an underwater scuba finale...
It looks like the lady just got caught in plastic trash and drowned, but I don't think this film is going to be that kind of movie
Florida Man gets woman wet

Oh wow, that costume is impressively bad. I mean, even by our standards.
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?
poor lady really isn't dressed for the swamp
You need an electric cable to kill oddjob, if I recall correctly
I hope sharks burst out of the ground and eat them
this guy looks...'corrupt'
lol, the characters are making the same bestiality jokes as we are, I feel seen
I think my vaccine reaction fatigue left my brain juuutst the right amount of impaired for tonight's #monsterdon
I think the title of "Worst Monsterdon" is probably still held by "Vampire of Bikini Beach"..? WIth "Attack of the Bee Girls" a close 2nd. π€ :dumpsterfire:
@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.
I wonder if he's all 'troy mcclure' with the sealife?
β« He don't use jelly
Or any of these
He uses Vaseline! β«
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvfxKbpoxRE
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.
Β½ββββ better than a Bert I Gordon fiick but don't watch this.
πͺΌSting of Death!πͺΌ
This whole Monsterdon is wired! Thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting, and special thanks to the #Monsterdon crew for getting me a pair of tight shorts that look like a circus tent. πͺ
"Many underwater crew died to make this movie....but it was in International Waters so an apology is all the families get"
ain't nobody ready for that jelly. as we fuck off into the swamp, thanks to @Taweret for hosting and everyone for joining and jellyfish for putting up with this slander.
(Stay tuned for store-brand jaws double feature if you want tho!)
A movie with no redeeming qualities other than being very funny. I had a great time.
