Embrace the shroom
#monsterdon I actually watched this years ago. Earlier review.
It was much funner watching with all of you
#monsterdon Eat the arm! Eat the arm!
@Taweret @msh I liked the scene with that guy's corpse surrounded by high value banknotes. There's the message #monsterdon
That was fantastic!
Also, I found out just now from Wikipedia that it's based on a William Hope Hodgson story. If you like old weird shit, do check out his stuff:

I really like the house party/shared domicile metaphor for Mastodon, where each server is a house and federated servers are like houses on the same street, and you can choose what neighborhood to live in and wander into conversations in neighboring rooms or houses...
#Monsterdon feels like listening to some friends in the next room watching a movie together, having great fun. Even if I'm not watching with them, I'm really enjoying hearing them.
You can do it! You can be the Final Girl! #monsterdon
Those mushrooms growing in the rain A+++ good stuff, also this is increasingly #mosstodon material #monsterdon
that was a longer ad break. falling farther behind #monsterdon
@johnefrancis #monsterdon is a long time fediverse tradition where people start watching a terrible old horror movie at the same time and post jokes/commentary about it as the movie progresses. It makes no sense if youβre not watching along
This is exactly my writing process, except it's a coffee shop, and I'm alone at the table, and the singer is some poor local girl trying and failing to sing an acoustic cover of a Taylor Swift song. #monsterdon
#Mosstodon strikes back!!
Y'all I think you could have known that ship was old and haunted before you got that close. #monsterdon
I'm loving the ominous mist! #Monsterdon
And #monsterdon is go! π π π
@nev Here's the story in question (audio download) https://ia600707.us.archive.org/29/items/short_ghohor_005_librivox/ghohor005_voiceinthenight_hodgson_pw.mp3 #monsterdon
Very sad that I had to tend to a friend emergency and was unable to finish #Matango but the first half was really good and I am going to watch the rest later #monsterdon
@nev Thank you, now I feel like we were doing something intellectual #monsterdon
had a lot of fun doing #monsterdon this week, if you like watching weird old monster movies with crowd I recommend checking it out next Sunday
@Taweret @msh Maybe the same individuals #monsterdon
Tokyo was the real monster all along!
Wait what?
Well it was fun to finally mark another movie off of the classic Toho monster flick list.
@Taweret @msh I just feel bad all those miniature crew members didn't get any work this time around #monsterdon
Would you like to live deliciously? Eat the magic mushroom. Wahahahaha~~~
Land of the lotus eaters with a side of body horror.
thanks for gathering us for some fantastic fungible entertainment @Taweret !
This #Monsterdon obviously provided a lot if inspiration for other horror franchises...underappreciated classic!
That was fun! I want to go live among the mushrooms now, in the spooky jungle where everything is moist and no one goes hungry. Thank you to @Taweret for hosting! #monsterdon
#Monsterdon poll
would have eaten the mushrooms?
horrowfide
#monsterdon
#horrowfide
they could make a spinoff sitcom where mushroom man tries to make it in the big city #monsterdon
top notch tokyo skyline. top notch final plot twist #monsterdon
ty for joining, everyone!! :ramblin_mushroom:β
Thank you for a great film #monsterdon folks!
Time for some mushroom pizza. :ramblin_mushroom:β
@Taweret How did the #monsterdon hashtag do?
#monsterdon In the end, the real monster was sobriety.
So he's gonna spread spores all through Japan now? Sequel time! #monsterdon
the real monster was us
I also would regret leaving Joyous Mushroom Island. #monsterdon
On the door came a rapping. Gently tapping on my chamber door.
I shot at them of course. As was the style of the zombie film at a time before there even were zombie films.
@trixter Well that's a *kind* of happy way to end #monsterdon
#monsterdon Hey, buddy, you were trying to rescue the girl, remember?
guess he is the last of them #Monsterdon
@apLundell Same as in The Last of Us #monsterdon
loved how it got increasingly bananas #monsterdon
#monsterdon So why do the mushroom people kidnap normal people? What's their motivation?
Oh well, so much for Akiko being the Final Girl. Time for happy laughing mushroom life! #monsterdon
Akiko's doing product placement #monsterdon
#monsterdon They seem friendly enough.
This whole movie doesn't seem Toho-like, and it's not just the lack of kaiju #monsterdon
the giggly shrooms spark joy in me #Monsterdon
spoilspore! #monsterdon
Hooray the mushroom people are here! In all their Baltan seijin laughing drugged out horror.
The neighbors are just over to find out if they have any pepperoni to share #monsterdon
this came out like 5 years before night of the living dead btw
@apLundell what are you watching? Iβm in US and not finding anything currently being offered but I think I want to put it on my watch list. #monsterdon #MonsterdonCurious
Not cool hitting the frightened girl, man. Are you sure you didn't eat some shrooms? #monsterdon
Baby elephant dance has been replaced with showgirls. Once you pop a shroom you can't stop.
what the fuck kind of conversation is this?
"Isn't that mushroom edible?"
Actually went "Nooooooo!" out loud #Monsterdon
"We'll never be able to get off the island. Will we?"
I JUST told you, the yacht came back.
So he died in the sea but came back to write his epitaph on the wall? #monsterdon
How is she still finding that much eye shadow after like weeks on this island? Is the make up made from mushroom dust? This movie is filled with mysteries.
"i didn't tell you that once you've eaten them you become a mushroom too" #monsterdon
Last ten minutes. Is the frightened girl going to end up the last survivor or not? #monsterdon
if you did shrooms and started this #monsterdon youβre either really regretting things or really enjoying things right about now
the spooky aesthetics are so well done. this would be a great halloween movie
#monsterdon "No. I shouted his name in three, maybe four rooms. That's the most I can do."
@Taweret I would turn into a mushroom person to live there forever #monsterdon
girl do you live like this? #monsterdon
i seriously love the Spooky Mushroom Jungle
@cheribaker Are they laughing WITH the castaways or AT them? #monsterdon
@Taweret and no one's even tried saying hi
#monsterdon
#monsterdon This is great.
this is some good shit #Monsterdon
are the funguys muppets? a poll I'm not making #monsterdon
A writer slowly going mad? Steven King you've done it again!
they weren't kidding, those people sure are mushrooms
#monsterdon
the mushroom people seem happy tho
I knew it was just a matter of time before this film would turn Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test on us #monsterdon
sick ass hallucination sequence #monsterdon
another Mushroom Mojo moment #Monsterdon
mushroom kingdom #monsterdon
DO NOT EAT THE EVIL LAUGHING MUSHROOMS or do I mean this place seems kind of nice. #monsterdon
this is like the moistest #Monsterdon ever
"Mamie" gone all Stepford Wife #monsterdon
[mushrooms laughing ominously]
where did she find the make up. and how did it not melt under the rain #monsterdon
what is it with these movies and caves?? #monsterdon
@TonyaMarie So what kind of pizza? (only one right answer) #monsterdon
wow look at those things popping up like...well yeah makes sense #Monsterdon
A sex scene? In THIS FILTHY KITCHEN? Ewww.
This is weird. This might be the best Omni dub ever. It's like they are all trying for once. It's weird.
Hmm. Potatoes, (turtle) eggs, "mushrooms" there's the makings of a good soup recipe in this film.
How many rounds does that gun have? #monsterdon
"There is always a situation like this in my novels."
Same, buddy. #monsterdon
that's gunned down, not mushroomed >:( #monsterdon
too be fair that mushroom dick is probably crazy
#monsterdon
It's Lord of the Flies but with a creepy ship and women #monsterdon
All of a sudden a documentary breaks out #monsterdon
@trixter They are full of turtle meat.
We've been eating Gamera... π’
#monsterdon Is it normal for the Captain's room to lock from the outside?
POTATO! He found one wild potato they are saved.
TURTLE EGGS! They are possibly endangered or descended from the eyeless mutant.
