Most movies would be made better with first wave ska in them.

Didn't expect to hear first wave ska in this movie. No. Just no.

#monsterdon

would this resonate with 60s teens, is this what they were doing or aspired to be like #monsterdon

.... ok so

was the movie made for the benefit of the song, to make it popular, or the song made for the movie, for similar reasons.

And what were they smoking when they decided either?

#monsterdon

This is some Joey Ramone-ass rhyming

#Monsterdon

Oh good. Another musical number. #monsterdon

Choreographer just phoned this in

#Monsterdon

Is this the Neil Sedaka song that everything ever written about this movie references? Because it sure seems a lot less noteworthy than I was led to believe.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🪼🪼 😬 💀 😱

There should be a special oscar for most weird and awkward but still groovy choreography in a feature film

Okay a song that brings up jellyfish is a good bit. (yeah, I'm easily amused by that)

#Monsterdon #StingofDeath1966

this would have made a great 2000s YouTube meme song tho

#monsterdon

“It’s really swella to do the jilla jalla jellyfish”

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon What this movie needs is Bud the CHUD. And Piranhas. Radioactive Survivors of The Stuff... anything but this… dancing…

So far this movie is making me like the 1960s slightly less.

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath

some of this "kids" are ontheir middle 30s...
#monsterdon
#stingofdeath1966

#monsterdon this 40 year old "leader” isn't really committed to his pirate bit

Ooh. I hope there's a swamp boat chase. #monsterdon

Welcome to our boatside pool party. We have both an ocean and a swimming pool. Swimming suits are Strongly Suggested for women, who are Not Allowed to swim. Swimming Suits are forbidden for men, who Are Allowed to Swim.

For entertainment we have alcohol, twisty dances and a one eyed man to harass for no reason.

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath

@YsengrinWolf

That's why there are so many butt shots...

#Monsterdon
#StingOfDeath1966

Do I like fan boats? Yeah, I’m a big fan!

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

I bet you didn't say anything when your friends beat that homeless guy last month.

#Monsterdon #SringOfDeath1966

Okay, now officially on Team Jellyfish Should Eat Most of These People.

#monsterdon

Are these folks all in 6th grade or something?

#Monsterdon

We decide to go outside and admire the swimming pool by our Modernist Everglades Boomer Mansion. We learn there will be a party tomorrow where we bring over college students for what I must assume will be a drunken science orgy.

Anyway, said college students arrive on a boat, suitably drunk and twisting. We do the twisty dances. Twist, twist, twist. Also the camera points all the Girl Butts (TM).

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath

Sting-schming of death-schmeath!

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

Who knew the Frat Boys would turn on the outsider?!

#Monsterdon

@combatwombat technically nematocytes count as tiny knives, so there may be face-stabbing.

#Monsterdon #StingofDeath1966

butts

#monsterdon

BUTTS!!!

#Monsterdon

omg, full on Austin Powers Groovy Party!

#Monsterdon

@ramsey for real. In the Florida swamps, you have to go down a fair list of things to be afraid of before you get to man 'o wars, giant or otherwise.

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath

Later Karen is listening to the radio when Igon sneaks up on her to set up the romance subplot - there's a love triangle between Karen, Igon and the Stripe Shirt Guy whose name I do not care to recall.

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath

I hope the littering asshole dies next.
#Monsterdon

#DiscoTeens are really what #Monsterdon is all about

I think maybe if you find a dead body and are sad about it and someone asks you why you are sad you should maybe tell them about the dead body instead of talking about your dance moves.

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath

Was that a fart sound caught on film? Or did Egon just make a weird sound?
#Monsterdon #StingofDeath

You are being creepy there though Egon, people like their personal space

#Monsterdon

Egon, don’t be a creeper!

#Monsterdon

So far in "B movie fanservice while trans": Not tempted to see if I can pull off the lime green

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe knows where it's been

#Monsterdon

the twist.... the SKA!?!??!?!

#monsterdon

Egon lost his eye to Mark Wahlberg, he has one eye from all the people's of the World...there's a true monster for you...

#Monsterdon

If this was 1986, all these women would be topless.

#monsterdon

They have a large coffee pot on the counter ... hopefully someone will drink some ..

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

“Don’t worry, John patched up my little scrape by blasting my forehead with concentrated cosmic rays and now I have turbo-melanoma.”
#Monsterdon

...Here, you can see where all men play on ten, never gonna turn down again.

"You're right doc, it is a Manowar."

#Monsterdon

This sheriff seems like he didn't pay attention in sheriff school.
#Monsterdon

After the girl characters wander off, a sheriff rolls up in his police boat to talk to the head bump guy, who had some equipment stolen earlier (probably the radio we saw sabotaged earlier). The sheriff tells the dudes that he found a dead guy in the water and asks headbump guy to look at the dead guy because he's a marine biologist, and dead humans are basically dead fish that have tricked themselves into walking.

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath

#monsterdon this man-o-war victim's last words: Physalia you crazy bastard how the hell are you?

That’s a nice pool they got there.

I recommend swimming there instead of in the green, monster-infested waters.

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

#Monsterdon Never bigger than 8 inches.

"died in agony"

*stares at that grin*

lewd?

#Monsterdon #StingofDeath1966

Well he died happy

#Monsterdon

⚫

#Monsterdon

"he has the habit of appearing suddenly" 🤣 🤣 🤣

#monsterdon

Tonight's #monsterdon starts with neither credits nor a jaunty anime opening sequence, rather we start with a POV view of a person and/or monster sabotaging a radio that is giving plot pertinent news about a fisherman who drowned. More notably, we are also watching a 60s babe do a sunbathing in a retro bikini (TM).

These two plots collide when the monster attacks the sunbathing woman, dragging her into the water and drowning her; he looks like a diver but we don't see his face.

#StingOfDeath

Something about that rock wall just screams "Orlando hotel bar"

#monsterdon

He knows Ruth was sunning herself by the dock because he was watching her...

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Creepy Assjack, check… Daddy has some cranial trauma, and we're off to the races fetching Orangeade. Not COFFEE. But she’ll get points... I don't expect the Bechdel test will have any points on this one.

That is a hideous growth on his head, especially when he was warning about the sun as well...

#Monsterdon

B-E-S-U-R-E-T-O-D-R-I-N-K-Y-O-U-R-O-V-A-L-T-I-N-E, probably

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

Aw yes… Florida… this calls for pants and long sleeves

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

FROGS MANSION?!

#monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

Watch yourself karen, ffs..

#Monsterdon

The music doesn't really go with swimming away with murder victim action, but I kind of like it #monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai #monsterdon the great majority of them were in 1966 I think.

He ruined her suntan lotion! Now she’s gonna have to reapply!

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

Launching my #monsterdon thread for #StingOfDeath a movie that I think involves a killer jellyfish or something.

Monsterdon is the thing where we watch an old monster movie every week and make fun of it. Sometimes the movies are good, usually they are less so. If you do not wish to see millions of posts about this old monster movie, consider muting the hash tag, otherwise please to enjoy!

The music is telling me this should be an Esther Williams routine, but the picture is telling me someone swam through my dock's rope lighting.

#monsterdon

(OK, yes, sunscreen application is wise and prudent)

Oh no, monster claw! Our blonde bathing beauty is in peril! And despite having been dragged into the... ocean..? ...her lipstick remains PERFECT

#monsterdon

Better than the usual Effen stuff we watch

THIS EPISODE

The Directors Poorly Disguised Fetish

#Monsterdon

Fairly fast first kill

#Monsterdon #StingofDeath1966

STING!

OF!

DEATH!!

#monsterdon

jaws stole this scene

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🪼🪼 😬 💀 😱

OK but I like her beach towel

no! my nautical flag translation guide towel!

#monsterdon

He's

he's literally just wearing a jello-covered wetsuit

#Monsterdon

I feel like Batman is going to show up

#Monsterdon

The monster doesn’t know how to use a flathead screwdriver.

#Monsterdon

Cold open… err… hot swimsuit open?

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

Commence stinging!

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath1966

I'm starting to suspect the director was stoned the whole time he made this film. #monsterdon

Shark torture. And she's worried about her own ears. #monsterdon

So, the woman is also an asshole? I'm sensing a pattern in this guy's movies. #monsterdon

Kingpin if Kingpin had really tacky tastes in clothes and lived in Florida. #Monsterdon

"Look, I'm not crazy if that's what you mean" says the crazy guy in every movie. #Monsterdon

I sense a racism coming on. #Monsterdon

You ever accidentally become important to the cult of the shark god?
#Monsterdon #MakoJawsofDeath

Sharks love, man kills.
#Monsterdon #MakoJawsofDeath

Meat cute?

#Monsterdon #MakoJawsOfDeath1976

How do none of these vans have a wizard painted on the size? or a shark! A mermaid?
#Monsterdon #MakoJawsofDeath

"You crazy, but in a good way!"
You stay safe, Marine burger-flipper dude.

"What is, is. Science makes them dumb." Thanks laconic hero guy.

ODDJOB! Finally a movie star with some chops.

Endless boring bar scene. Swimming bikini girl & stripper… totally ignored by eveyrone. Well, sure, we all want to see the sharks.

#monsterdon #jawsofdeath1976

Or hero/villain might be a psychopath
#Monsterdon #MakoJawsofDeath

This gentleman is not at all unhinged. Perfectly healthy fellow. #Monsterdon

The director really has a thing for pretty women swimming, doesn't he? #Monsterdon

@diazona innit? #Monsterdon

"the birth of a shark, is the first step to Humanity's domination of the Galaxy!"

@patioboater same, it would explain so much
