So as you can see in the third pic, the tub is clogged. I tried the plunger first, and all i got was all that black stuff coming up and water comin out of the stopper lever on the floor. Then i tried to snake the drain with a plastic zip-thing. Got out some hair, but still clogged. Thought i needed to go deeper, so i used the coat hanger next to snake, got nothing. Help! I need to take a shower! J

You need a snake for sure and the power ones are best. Your best bet is to go through the overflow on the tub. It's definitely best to call a plumber. But if you don't want to you could try a hand snake through the overflow and just keep going till the water drains. If it doesn't work you need a power snake to punch through the blockage.

Also theres a chance there's a drum trap which makes it practically impossible to auger through in which case you would have to replace it with a p trap. Just so your aware.
