Not to mention Monsterdon favorite (?) and harpsichord tour-de-force Tentacles #TheLastDriveIn #MutantFam #Piranha1978

That ending really sets it up for a sequel. I should watch Piranha II sometime. Directed by James Cameron… and Ovidio G. Assonitis (of Beyond the Door fame) 😅

Dick Miller: *in an extremely New York voice* I swear it on my honor as a Texan.

#monsterdon You had me at #piranha1978 You lost me at #invasionofthestarcreatures
Ethically, I cannot keep watching. Anthropologically, I cannot look away. #wtfAmericanFilmCulture -
@flowerpot @Taweret it felt like so much longer than that! #monsterdon #piranha1978

A big thank you to @Taweret for hosting tonight's wonderful film! Secret governmental mutant killer fish, excessive alcohol use, gratuitous exposed breasts, mad scientists, gratuitous suggested casual sex, violence against children, mass casualties and carnage, and a really cute piranha with legs that makes a kawii sound.
This flick had it all!
-
... and what happened to the kid they rescued from the overturned canoe? He just kinda vanishes as the raft is disassembled by piranha

Aquarena Springs is in San Marcos, TX. The swimming hole was 40 miles away, in Wimberley, TX, according to this forum thread from 2008 about the filming locations for Piranha: https://www.filmboards.com/t/Piranha/Filming-locations-for-Piranha---a-detailed-look!-1663361/
I am in central Texas and should check out some of the Piranha and Texas Chainsaw Massacre filming locations sometime.

So, what did happen to the mutant walking piranha? They were cute.
-
Thanks for herding the carnivorous fish with evil Barbara Steele, @Taweret , even though I am bitterly disappointed that Heather Meanzies-Urich/Louisa von Trapp/Maggie The Skip Tracer WHO CAUSED THIS CHAOS did not even get nibbled on like poor Bad Dillman #Piranha1978 🐟 #Monsterdon

@moira Isn't that one of the sequels?
-
I guess that explains all the Texas references, too - they weren't just trying to make it seem they were in Texas, they *really were* in Texas.
-
And for the bipedal mutant creature friends we made
-
Mega Piranha is next in the queue on Tubi? May have to watch... Thanks all for a fun and scary bitey fish show. Maybe stay out of the water for a day or two.

Yes - "Cult classic ‘Piranha’ is a great Texas-made horror movie shot at Aquarena Springs in San Marcos, Texas"
Aquarena springs is long gone, though I remember visiting there as a child.
-
Bodies and carnage everywhere ... and the piranha fuck off into the sea! Finis!
-
Aquarena Springs - a bit of signage in the background. Wounder if they actually filmed there?
-
"Aquarena" eats its founder!
-
Why is the control shack underwater, other than for plot reasons?
-
I mean from the piranhas point of view it was a very, very good day
-
Brass in the water!
-
"What about the goddamn piranhas?"
"They're eating the guests, sir."
-
There we go, something blew up. No idea what was going on, though.
Floating dead body with a blood fountain!
-
@arisummerland Ya gotta suspend your disbelief for the mountains part.
-
Apparently the swimming pig was one of the attractions at Aquarena Springs in real life. #Monsterdon #Piranha1978 #BiteyFish

"That submarine ride is pure Americana!"
-
So who won the race?
-
The police car was labeled Texas Department of Public Safety, so I guess the movie is set in Texas, not just filmed there? #Monsterdon #Piranha1978 #BiteyFish

Yeah, Suzy is gonna have nightmares.
-
under a canoe is indeed an excellent hiding place at summer camp. On dry land, I mean.
-
Buffet is ON!
Piranha even jumps out of the water to kiss the camp director.

So much for *that* mailbox.
