That is some…really impressively raspberry-red "blood".

#Monsterdon

Are those slugs all supposed to be in that guy's basement or was that just a random shot

#Monsterdon

Those slugs seem awfully segmented to you?

#Monsterdon

FUN FACT: slugs are technically just shell-less snails. There are "semi-slugs" with partial shells. And various groups of snails lost their shells independently, so "slug" isn't a real group; it encompasses many different lineages more closely related to snails with shells than to each other.

FWIW, this is what slug/snail eggs actually look like. They are found in the soil, not on plant leaves. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Slug_eggs.jpg

#Monsterdon

This is like a damn infomercial with all the mishaps going on

#Monsterdon

Actually burst out laughing in real life at the convenient line of spilled gasoline

#Monsterdon

Oh girl what is going on with your eyebrows

#Monsterdon

Fun fact: slugs/snails do have little "teeth", a raspy mouthpart called a radula, and they leave really cool-looking markings when, e. g., they eat the algae off a surface:

We haven't seen any of that in this movie though

#Monsterdon

Science Guy has a British accent which automatically makes him more credible. I don't make the rules

#Monsterdon

Everyone in this movie is way too horny for no damn good reason

#Monsterdon

I, uh…I want a disclaimer that says no slugs were harmed in the making of this movie.

Please???

(Unlikely, I know. Lots of animal welfare regulations don't cover invertebrates.)

#Monsterdon

Okay, the slipping and falling onto inexplicably slug-covered floor was pretty funny and, frankly, what I came here for

#Monsterdon

Of course, I hear "sex scene" and "inexplicably high number of slimy invertebrates" and I think of #TheMagnusArchives episode "Squirm" (https://ghostwires.github.io/transcripts/tma/006.html), which is 1) standalone so you can totally listen to it by itself and 2) much better than this movie

#Monsterdon

"Did a guy named John Foley call?"

"Yes, but the only message he left was some slimy squirming, a guy walking out of a room, someone eating crunchy food, a blazing fire…"

#Monsterdon

Those look more like nematodes???

#Monsterdon

I was genuinely very worried they were going to conflate flukes and slugs

#Monsterdon

Note: while slugs/snails do make both eggs and sperm, it is still beneficial for them to exchange sex cells with each other. The priceless Life in the Undergrowth clip of mating leopard slugs: https://youtu.be/Zc9pp99cKRE

@nev Cool! The way slugs mate is extraordinary.
