#monsterdon a fresh boatload of models for the monster

Already I can tell the monster is just some poor guy in a wet suit, wearing flippers

#Monsterdon

That thing is wearing flippers!

#Monsterdon #StingofDeath

hey why are we getting a slow butt close-up

we were promised FISH OF THE JELLY VARIETY

#monsterdon

Some sort of Swamp Thing?

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

WFUN Central!! Groovy, man!! #Monsterdon #StingofDeath

"What are you doing on my island White Man?!"

#Monsterdon

@Terencio I bet his house is a delight for when the ladies come round! #Monsterdon

sharks are like cats in that regard

#Monsterdon

ewwwww

#Monsterdon

So....do they pay that lady to swim in front of that window all day?

#Monsterdon

Plots With Sharks

Again, fully on Team Shark here.

#Monsterdon

how did that shark get pregnant, Troy?

#Monsterdon

Big thanks to @Taweret for this film showing that anyone can make a movie and get a theatrical release, at least in the 1960s.

Smoking, coffee adjacent but no coffee drinking. Wet clothing clinging tightly. Plastic bags of various sizes standing in for jellyfish. Decent body count, even if most of the corpses wouldn't stop moving (maybe an aftereffect of all that jellyfish toxin?)

Spastic dances, typical for the 60s. The poor suit actor trying to not kill himself stumbling around in flippers, or overheating in all that rubber. With a trash bag over his head, even.

Gratuitous unexplained skull decoration. Personal space violations.

There was even a suggestion of acting, buried under the ableism.

Not the worst, but certainly one of the cheapest.

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

The full reveal of the monster in #StingOfDeath1966 is the hardest that any piece of media has made me laugh in quite some time. Delightful. 🪼🪼🪼🪼🪼

Taste Neptune's Justice, Monkey Man!

I've seen some skin diving...in an underground club in Vauxhall...

Florida Man Dies in Bizarre Accident with Jellyfish on his Face

#monsterdon

It felt like more, but I won't complain about two bingos. ^_^

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

Is this going to be like Beastmaster crossed with Jaws?

#Monsterdon

Does #Monsterdon bingo count if you get it diagonally? 🤔

I'll admit I was a bit loose with "car" chase.

THE END

Thank the Gods.

I think my first Monsterdon movie was something about a cat woman, and so far it's the worst one I've seen, but this one is a close second. Yikes.

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting and @miru for the stream!

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath

@Terencio #monsterdon voters each week.

@Taweret Cheers! #Monsterdon

Well I, for one, will be Jella Jellaing all week long.

Thank you for hosting @Taweret. I hope everyone has a great week!

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

That movie was so terrible that I'm actually rethinking the second feature now we know it's more of the same.

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath #StingOfDeath1966

Anyone else in the mood for fried calamari?

#Monsterdon

Weird one. Different. I don't really need more like it. Thanks for the company #monsterdon ers. Take care. See ya soon.

Wait so why was he able to become a jelly monster?
#monsterdon

And they fucked off into the swamp, careless people, smashing up airboats and jellyfish creatures

#monsterdon

So is John just immune to jellyfish stings or???
#monsterdon

"Maybe someday, someone will find an answer."

Certainly not in this movie.

Thanks @Taweret for hosting!

#Monsterdon

We have previously established more than once that underwater explosions are terrifying, deadly events because of how hydrostatic shock can basically instantly pulverize your organs, right? That happens in the jellyverse too? Or are they using alternate physics?

#monsterdon

“Maybe someday, someone will find an answer.”

They’re just going to fuck off into the Everglades and not worry about anything that’s just happened.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #stingofdeath1966

This man has had a carbunkle on his head the entire movie for NO REASON...

Egon turns into the monster and zombie walks toward Karen, who screams. Then the monster walks away to swish its hands in the jellyfish tank some more. Then the stripe shirt guy who is now swim trunks guy appears to fence the monster with a lit flare. An extremely slow fight scene ensues. It looks like the monster is about to win, but then he gets tired and falls over.

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath

Lair is made of explodium..?

But why..?

#Monsterdon

That was the thrilling explosion, which none of the fish reacted to.

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

ffs Karen, leave him there to die, he clearly wants to....

#Monsterdon

he's more jellyfish than man now. twisted and evil

#monsterdon

@diazona lol, we've all been thinking it! #Monsterdon

This fight is really bad but counterpoint: It's also pretty gay.

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

why would becoming a were-jellyfish give him flippers tho

jellyfish don't have flippers

#monsterdon

@sean Keep away from children and low-budget film crews.

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath #StingOfDeath1966

oh wait so he's actually canonically The Fly-ing himself into a giant man o'war, not just putting on a rubber suit and flippers and coating his hands with poison? I've been misled #monsterdon

lol, this is just tragic...

#Monsterdon

@jonny I mean if this movie had any symbolic content maybe Egon would be like the return of the repressed or the jellyfish would be rhizomatic except jellyfish instead of rhizomes.

#monsterdon

Bitten by a radioactive Egon

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

Noooaaaalarrms and no surpriiiiises

#Monsterdon

Bukkake of Death.

#Monsterdon

Igon shows Karen his giant jellyfish tank and boasts about how big his jellyfish is. He helpfully explains that it got big because of Electricity and Chemicals and also Human Blood. Then he shocks his jellyfish and insists that she look at it.

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath

#Monsterdon 🪼🪼 😬 💀 😱

why is he getting foamy tho?

Wait what where did the bukakke come from???????????

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath

I think, this is the worst I've seen. lol. I'm crashing out y'all 🥱 ✌🏼
#Monsterdon

Egon. Son. I don't think "LOOK AT MY ATOMIC JELLYFISH" is quite the flex you think it is when you're trying to impress a girl.

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe both is good

#monsterdon

So is he the jellyfish man or does he command the jellyfishman?

#Monsterdon

director, pointing to movie: look at my creation!

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

Oh. He took her to his lair. Guess it's true love, then.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Ugly and Crazy in the Sack sometimes go hand in hand!

@jsadow I suffer to serve. #monsterdon

lol, just throws his love into the swamp

#Monsterdon

The music in this movie deserves a special mention. It's an erratic masterpiece.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Throw the bitch in the water, she'll wake up, or she won’t. Or she will. Whatever. She should have died. Ah well, more popcorn?

#monsterdon #stingofdeath1966

This movie is literally running out of gas.

@ramsey Probably around the time we decide to turn off this movie and turn on another one

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

Whenever I'm watching a film with a fan boat in it, there's a good 90% chance it's from the 60s or 70s. I guess America was really infatuated with them for a time.

#monsterdon

I'm bored

It's the movie's climactic chase scene and I'm bored

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

@Crazypedia They need to hit a ramp and jump over 5 water taxis or something. #Monsterdon #StingOfDeath

@amyfou 😆

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath #StingOfDeath1966

All the men in this movie are running around in their boxer shorts!

#Monsterdon

Motor-boatin’

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

The search party returns and Igon also appears in his non-Jellyfish wetsuit guise. Headspot guy and Stripe shirt guy go to fix the radio and give Igon a gun to guard Karen, unaware that he moonlights as a jellyfish monster.

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath

🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️

⁉️STING OF TRIVIA 🪼😱

Hobart, the actor in the Jellyfish Man costume, said "The monster suit cost about $300 to make" and took about two weeks to complete.

Film historian Bryan Senn points out "In fact, it looks just like what it really is—a man in a crusty, dirty wetsuit and flippers, with plastic cords hanging from his shoulders and a clear hefty bag inflated over his head."

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath #StingOfDeath1966

Is it me, or does miss Karen look like a mix between Salma Hayek and Alotta Fagina from Austin Powers?

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath #StingOfDeath1966

he's a big fan of that boat GET IT ar ar ar ar ar ar ar

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

@CactuarJoe worst robot master ever

#monsterdon

This movie better have at least one more dance scene, or I'm gonna "Go Eegone"!

#Monsterdon

Oh Susan
A shame you got the stinging and the bruisin'
Because you took a shower 'stead of snoozin'
After hanging with the frat boys who were boozin'

#monsterdon

(god I'm not going to get all the way through this movie before a mod banhammers me)

#monsterdon Definitely see how this angles into a porn parody…

Uh-oh! Karen has lit up! Not a good sign! #Monsterdon

Egon is copping a feel and no one seems to want to stop him. #Monsterdon

@RachelThornSub

SOME body had to oppose the tobacco lobby, right..?

#Monsterdon

Where is the stinging part? #monsterdon

#monsterdon ok. My guess is: Egon's a were-jellyfish

@SocialCommentaryBot breakout character

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Poor monster got some of his tentacles ripped off.

#monsterdon Karen, it's Susan! Who screams because of Louise! And poor Darlene! So much Aquanet, it choked poor Egon…

Egon: “Hey, Susan, want some Mardi-Gras beads?”

#Monsterdon

That's gonna take more then scrubbing bubbles to get clean.

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath

Film historians often say that bad films like these survived all these years because of only a few minutes of film.

Pretty sure we just found the section that explains why this one survived.

#monsterdon

To paraphrase one of the wisest things to ever come out of MST3K, "Never reference a better movie in your crappy movie."

#monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow And the girl is stripped to make her look

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

Hey does anyone remember when a swamp absolutely writhing with jellyfish clogged up and sank an entire boat full of frat kids, and incidentally then killed all the kids who fell into the water? What happened to all those jellyfish? I feel like that quantity of trailing, stinging tendrils might have somewhat thinned the huge schools of fish we keep seeing in these underwater shots.

#monsterdon

All the charm of a motel bedroom. With the a/c mounted through the wall right over the bed.

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

#monsterdon I had to stop Louise from screaming... so I grabbed a tire iron and I... calmed her down.

The more underwater scenes, the more they save on their ADR budget

#monsterdon

This movie is about 70% padding shots.
