Oh right. My movie time snacks. Apple pie I made late last night after picking apples in the dark from a tree with a cat in the branches.

We have a full frontal merman sighting!
CHeck out the gills on that guy.

Is the gillman the first movie monster with big kissable lips?

Fishman stories were surprisingly common back in the old days of weird tales. Like The Harbor Master by Robert W. Chambers. Alot of them also had a gillman lusting after human women. Or atleast stalking them.
Except HP Lovecraft's Shadow Over Innsmouth. His Deep Ones were only interested in the men of the town. *nudge* *wink*

This scene is entirely just Shape of Water foreplay 50 years early.

Gillman suit might be the most beautiful monster suit until atleast the 1980s. Definitely the best black and white monster design. Sorry original Godzilla.

It's weird how the guy that looks like Phil Hartman isn't the one that sounds more like Phil Hartman.

The soundtrack is trying to hard with it's one song. It's almost ruining this for me.

Dramatically turning and flippy flapping in a different direction underwater isn't as dramatic as it probably sounded in the script. Just looks silly.

Chekov's spear gun barely had an effect on our sexy gillman. His abs are too cut.
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon

Maybe we should be calling the gillman the Devonian man?

It's so nice to hear a scream that isn't a Wilhelm scream. AN authentic original heartfelt scream of terror. Music to my ears.
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon

Ewww. Gillman pissed all over the poopdeck.

Coffee time? Is it coffee time on Monsterdon once again? Enjoy a nice cuppa Joe on ol` Rita?

Archival monkey/bird noises > Wilhelm scream

Turn off those lanterns! Gillman is trying to sleep!
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon

Gillman has a cave apartment. GIll Man cave.

Gillman uses Choke Slam. It's super effective.

Creature's face is soo good. Not alot of movement, but still way more than most rubber monsters. A simple look that is a nice mix of almost human and kinda like a very curious fish coming to the surface to stare at you.
