#monsterdon #Tentacles

#Monsterdon
📞anyway tell my wife i had terrible opinions

🐙

so tommy and jimmy, what do we think the odds are on them making it out of this movie alive. #monsterdon

Oh man, you know what this reminds me of? That #MST3k movie, Killer Fish. #Monsterdon

OH PLEASE MOMMY
#monsterdon

he doesn't actually know his diving partner got eaten by the octopus, I think he's just jumping to conclusions #monsterdon

Buddy got inked #Monsterdon #Tentacles

Sounds like this octopus speaks orca #Monsterdon #tentacles

#monsterdon scuba scenes are never as exciting as filmmakers seem to think they are, is it just me?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

@vansice I just fast forward 30seconds now and then, when the nail-biting action slows #monsterdon #tubitv

We are almost half an hour in, and let me review the main plot points so far:

* Octopus is killing people

#Monsterdon

TENTACLE! TENTACLE!

...big ink cloud...DAMMIT!

This #Monsterdon is such a tease

Well at least it wasn't Logitech

#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977

told him first day of dive school don’t open your mouth and scream but he didn’t listen #Monsterdon

@vansice luckily i haven't had any yet after the preroll, but i plan to just let them play and get a snack (and just accept that i'll be behind) #monsterdon

oo, oof, that was a rough way to go. #monsterdon

@vansice I just download it from the Internet Archive (or elsewhere) in advance - somebody always posts a link during the week

#Monsterdon

yikes, get back in the TROJAN #monsterdon

Enjoying the sound that moves right to left. Not used to that for something on tubi.

#monsterdon #tentacles

We have ✅ ink attack and ✅ harpoon!

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

He understood the assignment.

You don't have to outswim the creature, you only have to outswim your dive buddy

A+

#Monsterdon

oh cool the submarine has a built in shower mode #monsterdon

@phoutz leagues are not used as a measure of depth but of distance. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon We have Titular Tentacles! And also, he’s an inkjet.

Sure just abandon your buddy

Probably smart

#monsterdon

time for another ad break, wow Crest sure wants me to buy their toothpaste #monsterdon

hurry, swim away from the stock footage as fast as you can!
#monsterdon #Tentacles

Okay, it’s actually quite jarring to go from John Huston and Bo Hopkins being all fluent in english to two (presumably Italian) actors requiring overdub.. #monsterdon

Heh. Jaws music there #Monsterdon #tentacles

I would love to know why they chose that night shirt for him. I keep thinking about it
#monsterdon

First blurry shot of our hero. With absolutely no sense of scale Tentcules shows up.
#Monsterdon #Tentacles

WE HAVE OCTOPUS SIGN

... and now I'm flashing back to the so-called Octopus in Bride of the Monster, and wondering if Bela Lugosi and Tor are now cackling in a nearby undersea lab.

#Monsterdon

Yeah these divers look SOOooo equipped for this... #monsterdon

Now we get some snake jazz ...

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

Mom, as the Trojan gets winched up, and the lights go out: "YOUR TIME IS UP, JERRY"

#monsterdon #tentacles

The octopus is sh!tting bricks #monsterdon

Viewing this movie as "John Houston Picks Up Lots Of Men In Bars" now

#monsterdon

You kinda gotta squint and tilt your head to make that look like an octopus attack. #Monsterdon

By this time my lungs were aching for air. #monsterdon #Tentacles

Also, that’s not a harpsichord. It’s a prepared piano #Monsterdon #tentacles

IIRC hi-def underwater photography was pretty new in the 70s, so it was used a lot for the novelty factor. Several Bond movies had extended scuba sequences, a villain with a submersible for a lair, or both. That's to put this nonsense in context #Monsterdon

First tentacle spotted!

I was expecting it to be another fake-out. Give us a regular size octopus being its own cute self.

#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977

Music is being all musicy.

Not liking the weird sound effect choices for the electric wires under the water.

#Monsterdon

T E N T A C L E C O N F I R M E D
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon My ink!

Okay. Try to pretend this is really REALLY big. #monsterdon #Tentacles

TENTACLE sighting!!! #Monsterdon

@apLundell he was wearing the night shirt for it
#monsterdon

o shit did we upgrade from harpsichord to...PIANO? #monsterdon

incredible

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonTrivia

@Taweret I'm assuming not otherwise I will be extremely pissed... this movie has too much promise for the titular monster to be implicit (but not enough promise to actually pull it off)

#Monsterdon

Would someone get the cat off of the synthesizer!?

#monsterdon

@ricci 😆 #Monsterdon

So far, everyone in this film is like a low-budget version of some other, more famous actor. I wonder if the director is the low-budget Steven Spielberg? #Monsterdon

Look out! Octacam just behind you! #monsterdon #Tentacles

The music stings are all over the place. For a second I thought some Victorian gentleman was going to be murdered in his own Tudor era mansion. #monsterdon

uh-oh

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

#Monsterdon So far the divers are insufficiently alarmed, given recent disappearances. Movie logic implies this will change quickly. Especially ripoff jaws music.

dangit something broke the Internet box again #monsterdon

Oh and now it's bad Western Saloon piano sting music! Classy.

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

More drive-suited butts than Jaws!

#monsterdon

Oh no! His Parker space pen exploded under water!
#monsterdon #tentacles

@plaidtron3000 MOVIE!! #Monsterdon

How may leagues under the sea is 29 fathoms? #Monsterdon #tentacles

Be vewy vewy qwuiet, we're hunting pianists....

#monsterdon

"...what happened to the internet?"
"Octopus ate it."

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

The underwater parts really help cover up the acting 😁

#Monsterdon #Tentacles1977

Titan beta 0.1

#Monsterdon #Tentacles

@steggy It's got a nice beat. #Monsterdon

and now a nautical interlude

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon to the tune of danke schoen

🎶 Bathosphere
sexist Bathosphere 🎶

blue and yellow blue and yellow wait a minute is that amazi-girl's amazi-trawler? What's it doing in Italy?!

#monsterdon #Tentacles

Don't worry, I hear nothing cures fear of the ocean like being forced to fight a giant octopus. #monsterdon

@lorgonumputz Nah, the octopus is carrying the harpsidcord.

#monsterdon #tentacles

Medical examiner: "This bone is without... It's marrow! Some thing has sucked out it's marrow!"

#monsterdon #tentacles

Harpsichord player's getting greedy now #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Come on, let's get back to Sheriff Lobo.

That seemed like a pretty smooth landing. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Let animals be free.

Imagine how much scarier Jaws would have been if Williams had used more harpsichord. #monsterdon #Tentacles

Shelley Winters clumsily calling John Huston "little brother" when he's 14 goddamn years older than her

is really something

#Monsterdon

The harpsichord sting music, though!

🧑‍🍳💋
#Monsterdon #Tentacles

​:BlobCat_Think:​ if i learn to scuba dive maybe one day i can appear in a terrible movie too
#monsterdon #Tentacles

Serious props for the actual diving bell. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon We have us some deep down divers, time for divers alarums and excursions.

#monsterdon Aquariums shouldn't exist.

TWO whole measures of Ominous Harpsichord.

This crunch is going to be MUCH more crunchy.

#Monsterdon

Corey knew something was shady. #monsterdon

OK folks, we have 2 humans in the water! It's a chance for a two-fer. #Monsterdon

@amyfou I feel like we may never know

#Monsterdon

Sitar JAWS

#MONsterdon

"...And turn the harpsichord off before you exit the bell!" #Monsterdon

@Infoseepage Naming your condom company after tunnels is probably not the best idea from a marketing perspective

#Monsterdon

oh hey it's the humming sound I hear when I put my head down on my couch, not ominous at all

#monsterdon

I appreciate the harpsichord riff to remind the audience sumthin's a brewin' #Monsterdon

Are these what submarines look like? #monsterdon

Oooh! We got a full arpeggio that time! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon "Hey Henry Fonda, you look like a pretty affluent guy, you got a yacht around here somewhere?"

A horny sister in epic PJs reminiscing with her brother about their dead parents. Sexy music when orcas appear. Harpsichord tentacle attacks.

Italian cinema is 🔥
