@blogdiva Hard agree

#Monsterdon

I am still reading the #monsterdon thread and just DYING. My roommates are concerned.

@floatybirb Our women wrestlers lost the first round, then won the next two rounds, and the match. #Monsterdon #TheWrestlingWomenVsTheAztecMummy

#Monsterdon 🤼‍♀️ 🪶 🐲 🤕 😱

Thanks, everyone for another very weird cinematic experience!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting, @JoeWynne for the trivia and @cheribaker for the bingo card...

...but most of all, thanks to you #MonsterFriends for making it fun!

Food for thought: The Wrestling Women series as the Sharknados of the 60's

#Monsterdon

@hollie @foolishowl Here you go! https://thediremushrump.threadless.com/designs/monsterdon-doodles-color (fortunately the link popped right up in my browser history)

Unfortunately I can't remember who designed it - it was one of us regular participants - but I'm sure someone else will know

#Monsterdon

@floatybirb
Somebody contact Netflix!
#Monsterdon

anyway good job team and thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting

and always remember

#monsterdon #WrestlingWomanVsAztecMummy

@hollie @foolishowl Ooh actually that would be pretty sweet to have more #Monsterdon T-shirts with text slogans or references to specific movies

(if you haven't seen, someone designed a #Monsterdon T-shirt which has a drawing of dozens of different monsters from the movies we've watched)

I’ve never done a #monsterdon but it makes me happy to see people I love Doing The Internet in one of the only good ways that remain

@foolishowl 😂

Please put this on a #Monsterdon t-shirt

@north I was just kind of overwhelmed with nonsense by that point

#Monsterdon

I did like the wrestling women, but I don't think they can carry the lead weight of everyone else in this film. The mummy did his best but basically he's just some minimum wage mook that the elites are exploiting for their own ends #monsterdon

la momia se quiere tirar a la güera. todos los machos son los mismos, vivos o muertos o zombis o momias regeneradas.

@floatybirb
You missed the part where mummy turned into a bat, and then the bat flew backwards out the closed window because of the sunrise?
#Monsterdon
#TheWrestlingWomenVsTheAztecMummy

Big thanks to @Taweret for introducing us to what I assume is the pinnacle of 1960s Luchador vs Mummy film making. Could have used a bit more wrestling *with* the mummy, but it pretty much delivered as expected.

#Monsterdon #WrestlingWomenVsAztecMummy

@Infoseepage Only in our dreams tonight. Only in our dreams.

#Monsterdon

@Infoseepage Just because they're wrestling women doesn't mean *all* they do is wrestle. They can clamber through dark caverns in pumps, for instance #monsterdon

And can't forget @randy_s who was instrumental in tonight's recommended cocktail!! Just what the archeologist ordered!

#Monsterdon

"also remove the content files"
you. bet. your. ass.
#monsterdon

I'm proud¹ of you #Monsterdon. Nobody even giggled at "breastplate".

¹ disappointed by

i need to read more about like this production company or this era/area of filmmaking because i have just so many questions about all of it
#monsterdon

@k8eb hey #monsterdon, I think Katie here is lamenting that Elphaba isn't going to suplex an aztec mummy until next year at the earliest

"The ancient texts say shamans could turn into bat puppets, or a single tarantula we only see for 7 seconds"

#Monsterdon

@raindrops_and_roses @aburka I mean, I'm accepting this only because I'm pretty sure if I spend any more brainpower trying to figure it out I'm going to hurt myself

#Monsterdon

@Louisa the real serpent/jaguar was the mummy/bat/spider we met along the way

#Monsterdon

<sets up #Monsterdon as weekly event in calendar>

Goodbye everyone! <parade float wave> Have a lovely week!

Don't forget to return your breastplates!

#Monsterdon ave Maria! It’s blessedly over. The end. Don’t know. Don’t care. It’s over. Yay!

I like that they mentioned the Aztec shamans could also turn into serpents or jaguars but the movie wasn't about to show any serpents or jaguars, they're not made of money

#Monsterdon

The men were so incompetent in this movie you could almost argue that it was a pro Woman film for its time

#Monsterdon #WrestlingWomenVsAztecMummy

[runs back into the theatre] NO YOU FUCKS TURN IT BACK ON I AM NOT LEAVING UNTIL THEY WRESTLE THAT GODDAMN MUM-

#monsterdon #WrestlingWomanVsAztecMummy

the way i feel after a good #monsterdon like this one is the same way i feel after eating something extremely spicy or doing a really strenuous static exercise like pilates or yoga: my body hurts from laughing and my mind is cleared because what in the fuck was even any of that. i want to watch it again immediately #monsterdon

@fabio yeah seriously

I am definitely adding it to my collection

Although I will say, it's the kind of bad that you don't realize until the end because while it's going it looks like there is potential for it to be better. As opposed to something like Turkish Star Wars (my "favorite") which is just utter nonsense at every moment so you do not feel let down at all

#Monsterdon

wat

I just... wat

Thank you @Taweret for hosting and everyone for posting! I think I needed this today

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon the wrestling women vs a big spider!

@apLundell yeah we all just shrieked WHAT?! here

#monsterdon #WrestlingWomanVsAztecMummy

Sudden ending as is tradition #monsterdon

New title for the film: The Wrestling Women. Eventually, an Aztec Mummy.
#monsterdon

Huh it IS a vampire mummy, what do you know #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheWrestlingWomenVsTheAztecMummy

My theory on the abrupt endings we’ve all come to know and love is the unforeseen and shocking end of the production company’s budget.
#Monsterdon

"We appreciate the efforts of the Mexican Anthropology experts to distance themselves from this film."
#monsterdon

@yatsu I'm calling the cops. This was fraud, this was *malicious fraud* #Monsterdon

WELP
#monsterdon

i have two questions:

#monsterdon

This is script is bad even by our (low) standards. And it had such potential. #Monsterdon

"look loretta, he's a vampire now!"

thats a motherfucking bat

#monsterdon

@trixter Yes it was AWESOME my sister and I loved the women punching bad guys effectively! #Monsterdon #TheWrestlingWomenVsTheAztecMummy

Absolutely zero mummy wrestling. I was promised mummy wrestling.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon "well guess our search is over or whatever" the mummy literally dies with a dry fart. smh what a fucking ending

Traumatic collapse of the pyramid chamber reduced to a pathetic puff of smoke out the opening.

A suitable way to end this thing I think.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon amazing.

Thank you, Monsterdon.

Wrestling Women vs. the Aztec Mummy (1964): a perfect 10 stars out of 5

"could be one of the best movies i have ever seen on monsterdon"

#monsterdon #monsterdonReviews

Well the important thing is that we're all friends #monsterdon

#monsterdon Who can tell for how many centuries the treasure will stay hidden?

-about, what, 4 years until it's remade with El Santo?-

Correction, I was confused, I knew there was another movie that was pretty much a clone of this but it wasn't that- it's this movie is pretty much the same story as The Robot vs the Aztec Mummy, which was like 2 years earlier. Maybe El Santo's time machine can straighten things out...
2nd edit: The Robot/v/Mummy one is actually part of _another_ Aztec Mummy Trilogy. @Taweret perhaps in a year or two when the taste of this one is washed out of our mouths we should do the Robot one which is just as corny, less sexy, and features practically the same film within a film (but not the same footage...)

Well, that was rather abrupt.

Thanks @Taweret as always for hosting!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Twinges of Raiders of the Lost Ark. LOL.

they all fucked off back to the apartment, leaving the mummy unwrestled #monsterdon

What the actual fuck?

No one fucked off into anything.

The mummy is still there. He’ll get out eventually.

There was no wrastlin’ of the mummy. I call shenanigans!

#Monsterdon

Wait really? That was BULLSHIT. #monsterdon

and then they fucked off into the future? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon bam the end

Why were there even wrestling women if they weren't going to wrestle the mummy? 😭

#monsterdon

#monsterdon wow.

The Producers would like to apologise to the national institute of history and anthropology of mexico or rather

FUCKING WELL SHOULD

#monsterdon #WrestlingWomanVsAztecMummy

"Well, I guess this is the end of our search"

NO IT ISN'T

YOU GET BACK IN THERE AND WRESTLE THAT GOD DAMN MUMMY YOU TWIT #Monsterdon

oh for fuck's sake

#monsterdon

ahhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what the fuccccccckkkkekfakweojrgilesurehgiuhwfaihu WAS THAT #monsterdon

FULL DAYLIGHT again, despite that being a, what, 10 minute fight?

#monsterdon

THE END.
no it isn't, none of you wrestled that mummy, get back in there! #monsterdon

Lmao the tourists casually walking around on the pyramid in the last shot, perfection

#Monsterdon

@sealawyer Aren't we all TBH

#Monsterdon

@yatsu
Technically, it doesn't say the wrestling women will WRESTLE the Aztec Mummy. But I feel a little misled by the title. #monsterdon

Seriously why do we keep trying to shoot him? #monsterdon

A tarantula!!! #monsterdon

Sounds like the mummy might need a new retainer.

#Monsterdon #TheWrestlingWomenVsTheAztecMummy

What? They're massaging the mummy. Not much a of a wresting match

#monsterdon

He's a bat. No, a mummy, wait, a spider. It's kaleidoscope mummy!
#monsterdon
#WrestlingWomanVsAztecMummy

"Can't you untie me?" ".... ... I'm thinking!" #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🤼‍♀️ 🪶 🐲 🤕 😱

It's very helpful to have the characters say it when the mummy/bat/spider/transitions happen!

Also - be nice to that tarantula,kids.

Wrestle the mummy!!!! COME ON
#monsterdon

So it's canon now that mummies are not supposed to also be vampires #monsterdon

oh and now just a random tarantula!

#monsterdon

He's a bat, he's a mummy, he's a tarantula, he's an everyman

#Monsterdon

"Look Loretta, he's a vampire now!"

NO HE FUCKING ISN'T D:< D:< D:< #Monsterdon

eek a fl;ying mouse!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon IT IS CANON IT'S A VAMPIRE MUMMY

Fire fixes everything?

#monsterdon

was not expecting the extent to which this movie would also be The Mummy (1999) #monsterdon

Why do ppl shoot things that are already dead?

#monsterdon

Finally! The women save the day!

#Monsterdon

Yes, leave the professional women fighter on the sideline, sure
#monsterdon

@cheribaker It's for her soul

#Monsterdon

Why is the mummy operating on Dracula rules?
How is giant wrestling lady taller than everyone else when she's in flat sneakers?
#Monsterdon #WrestlingWomen #AztecMummy

comeon comeon, get to the fight already

#monsterdon

He brought chicken noodle? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Folks, if she

Fights evil
Could mop the floor with you
Aces at chess
Likes archeology a bit too much

She's not your woman. But she could be, if you are lucky
