Multiple Maniacs - "Lobster"

1970 John Waters, Divine

[@sgshumblecrumb6046]

I like how Divine is screaming in horror but his expression is that of pure ecstasy.

[@insouciantforce7640]

Setting the absurdity aside, it's really cool how John constructed this scene given the budget he had to work with. It really does sear into your memory too, you don't forget strangeness like this very often.

I had the pleasure of seeing this masterpiece at the famous Charles Theater in Baltimore for their revival series. It was a blast from beginning to end and I haven’t forgotten it. May Divine rest in peace and be missed but never forgotten. ❤

i love how Divine's wig was falling off the whole time 😂

[@JloveLamar]

LMAO @ the wig coming off when the lobster coming and Divine puts it back on

Hysterical doesn't begin to describe this. The most bizarrely funniest clip on the internet. God bless John Waters for this masterpiece.

Haha brilliant. It was the golden age of midnight movies! Once John Waters came to my town to introduce a screening of Serial Mom, and the theatre made it a double feature with Pink Flamingos. I think a lot of the audience didn't know what they were in for, because it was SRO for most of Serial Mom, but 20 minutes into Pink Flamingoes, everybody in the audience had walked out except for us and maybe eight other diehard fans.

The greatest scene ever filmed. This is beautiful.
