   Per usual, my local video store had me covered if I was going to rent The Creature From the Black Lagoon (1954)... except no rental was necessary because this one, I own.

     MONSTER FLIPPER ONCE AGAIN

     Exactly the same shot as before, in fact. A callback, or a second emergence..?

     MONSTER FLIPPER HAS ENTERED THE CHAT er TENT

     MONSTER FLIPPER

     ...just kind of sunning itself there on the bank of the river, apparently. Or perhaps reaching out in remembrance of its silt-entombed brethren?

     Of course Bay Street Video also stocks this #monsterdon special! (Well, stocked. But no longer. Someone uhhhh bought it.)

     (Have we ever watched Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman? We should! I haven't.)

     Tonight's very special episode of #monsterdon features The Creature From the Black Lagoon (1954), one of the Universal Classic monsters and one of¹ the most recognizable non-kaiju rubber suit monsters of all time. The film runs 1h19m so if you start now, a 90 minute timed mute of the hashtag will protect you from the torrent that is about to befall the federated timeline.

     Those few minutes before we kick off at 9pm ET also give you enough time to grab a copy of the movie yourself to join in!!
