Whoops. I took longer getting coffee and pie (and playing with a cat) than I figured. Even when I was ready 15 minutes early I still come in late.

Oh hey! This is where that old monster movie sting is from. Neat. Cool flipper claw too.

This guy who I presume is our main character has a very Phil Hartman kinda vibe about him. A shirtless muscly for the 50s ichthyologist kinda Phil Hartman.

Fish evolution is the solution to human development of a new type of man in space? Sure that works. Gundam SEED was about space whales or something after all.

I wanna go camping now.
But do I want to run the risk of a merman coming into my tent in the dead of night?
DO I want to run the risk of that never happening? :3
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon

Bleh. I was talking about #Monsterton not #Monsterdon for 15 minutes

Okay movie we get it. This monsterous claw has his own very loud orchestra with him.

HOT ARCHEOLOGY ACTION!
Digging! Sifting rocks! Pith helmets!
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon

WHy is her pith helmet shaped like a ball cap and more fashionable?
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon

Half a title drop.

Chekov's spear gun!
(GRUNTS APPROVINGLY)
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon

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.
#monsterdon #creaturefromtheblacklagoon

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

Is the gillman the first movie monster with big kissable lips?
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon

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.
#Monsterdon #CreatureFromtheBlackLagoon

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

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

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