NOBODY thought Mothra (1962) was the worst #Monsterdon film of the year! Surprising nobody, but it's nice to have confirmation of the Fediverse's good taste ^^
so Tim Burton, a Boomer, kills all the GenX actors first.
that checks out.

Oh dear god... #monsterdon was the Emmerich "Godzilla"?
My sympathies to all involved.
Did Godzilla check the depth of that bay before he dove in? No, no he did not. Don't be like Godzilla and risk a spinal cord injury when you're swimming
When this post is about 1 hour old, at 7 PM MST, the waves of a #monsterdon will wash over the fediverse. Monsterdon waves are generated by undersea earthquakes, so they can be very large! Luckily most Fediverse software has seawalls that allow you to block hashtags, so do that if you prefer not to be inundated. or Or OR *let* the waves in, *follow* the hashtag, and watch along!
Tonight, we are watching a movie simply titled "Godzilla." So, I think it's fair to assume that this is the only Godzilla move that exists. I guess we will find out what a "Godzilla" is, and all I can really guess from the trailer is that it must have escaped from Jurassic Park. From the trailer, it also appears that the movie is filmed by Hank Azaria, however, how we can see him filming it while he films it is not clear. Maybe we'll find out, or maybe this is just some of that "Movie Magic" they speak of.
Also whoever cut the trailer is fond of dick jokes apparently, so there's that.

@RobynGoodfellow @diazona Not quite fitting the assignment, but at least the format is similar. #monsterdon #motivationalmonsterdon
That was so fun! I actually enjoyed that movie, it wasn't nearly as painful as some others! 😂
Thanks for the laughs, everyone! Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!
SEE YOU NEXT YEAR! :blobcatrainbow: 🎥
@SnoopJ Kaiju roasting your town with fire. Huge slugs biting off your toes. Devil girls with their eyes all aglow. That’s what Fedi means to me. #monsterdon
What should our next #Monsterdon movie be?
#monsterdon aaaaaaaaaaand it’s a wrap. now i wanna go to Middlesex, England, the gateway to hell.
... and I heard him exclaim as he fucked out of sight ... to all a good #monsterdonsaveschristmas , and to all a good night
@ricci #monsterdon YOU'LL SEE SOON ENOUGH
HOW ARE YOU STILL FINDING WAYS TO MAKE THIS WORSE???? #Monsterdon
APPAB (all posh people are bastards)
Fun fact, the world's entire supply of orange-brown was used up in the 70s, it has now gone extinct
i can only recognize three men in this movie: the evil hypnotist by the oil in his hair, the good hypnotist by the bulge in his eyes, and the rich plutocrat by the tooth in his mustache. every other man is a total blur, and there are anywhere between 2 and 9 of them #monsterdon

again praying for some boutique blu-ray company to remaster LA NAVE DE LOS MONSTRUOS (THE SHIP OF MONSTERS) (1960), a wild and fun mexican sci-fi film about space women searching for male specimens to repopulate venus (shades of DEVIL GIRL FROM MARS). on earth they encounter a singing cowboy and hijinx ensue.
lots of weird characters including robots and monsters!
there are fuzzy copies floating around youtube and archive.org, but afaik it's not on any mainstream streaming services, otherwise it'd be perfect for #monsterdon
Hey #Monsterdon folks!
It took a while but my crocheted amigurumi Mothman is complete.
About 2 inches wide (~ 5 cm) and 3 inches tall (~8 cm) this guy could use a friend in you. Do you want them?
(Note: I have shedding animals in my house. This lil lad probably contains fur as a result. If that is an allergen problem for you I totally understand!)
I was hoping the cat would just start knocking everything off that table
Imagine if you shrunk today's teenagers, they'd have no idea what to do with that phone
They really did a nice job with the giant props, giant props to the props peeps
dude has a cross-dressing need but it’s sublimating by kidnapping people and developing technology that turns people into dolls. that ain't healthy.
I'm starting to think that all men in the 50s were super creeps.
the boss can't be disturbed because he’s already disturbed… nyuck nyuck nyuck

🗓️ On June 17, 1972, the famous WATERGATE burglary was foiled because the lookout, across the street in a Howard Johnsons hotel, was engrossed in a movie.
❓What film could be that powerful? Check it out in TWO HOURS on
I feel like the last couple decades have conclusively refuted the idea you can galvanize people by showing them the horrifying acts committed in their name. #Monsterdon
...has anyone said "Monsterdonton Abbey" yet
Did they invent movie endings later, like in the 70's?
I am SICK AND TIRED of all the MOTHERFUCKING FUNGUS on this MOTHERFUCKING AIRPLANE #Monsterdon

now to ready for #monsterdon - Igon! Ring up Holtz, and then fetch me my cape!
I'm not saying this was a good movie, but it was a million times better than that Vampires of Bikini Beach movie.
#monsterdon
I get the strong impression that Vampire on Bikini Beach would have done *severe* psychological damage to me if it had actually been comprehensible at all. #Monsterdon
I must strongly disagree that that looks like an “antique book.” #Monsterdon
Good ending! And now I kind of want to go watch Joe Dante's best-known movie, Gremlins. Except I'm actually gonna make dinner and watch some X-Files. Goodnight #monsterdon, and don't let the werewolves bite!
Whenever there's a Star Trek actor in a film, it's always a possible interpretation to say the movie is a holodeck simulation their character is playing through.
This is a roundabout way of saying Robert Picardo, who played the holographic Doctor on Star Trek: Voyager, is in tonight's film :D
Do you think The Howling (1981) comes before or after his family simulations?
#Monsterdon aaaand pumpkinhead fucks off into the graveyard
good night everybody <3
why does pumpkinhead make cicada sounds tho
I did appreciate they managed to work in a real estate deal right at the end. Vampire tradition, you know. #Monsterdon
"Everlasting life."
Well, 200 years or so. Everlasting only in the Gobstopper sense. #Monsterdon
Seriously why is this happening to him but not her? Is it like, because he's her minion or something? Let that be a lesson to all you minion wannabes I guess

this October we're doing 80's horror
(don't worry. the regular weekly polls will return in November)
*Sunday, Oct 12, 2025, 8PM CT (1AM Monday UTC) *
This week:
The Hunger (1983)
"John (David Bowie) is the lover of the gorgeous immortal vampire Miriam (Catherine Deneuve), and he's been led to believe that he'll live forever, too. Unfortunately, he quickly deteriorates into a horrible living death, and Miriam seeks a new companion. She soon sets her sights on Sarah (Susan Sarandon), a lovely young scientist, who quickly falls under Miriam's spell. However, Sarah doesn't warm up to the concept of vampirism easily, leading to conflict with Miriam.."

@jonny okay I see where we're going with this
DEVIL GIRL FROM MARS? Hotel real estate forms backbone of rural community and also interplanetary community.
LOGAN'S RUN? We have to do *something* with these old malls
INVADERS FROM MARS? Underground property rights extend all the way to hell
OCTAMAN? It's a rough market out there, take whatever real estate you can put your suckers on.
In conclusion:
That metal-album-cover-ass burning vampire skeleton was AMAZING.
having the vampires be straight really ruins the whole thing #monsterdon
he just got fired today and he's evicted already, harsh
Can you believe Marjoe Gortner is still alive and only 81? He looked like a leather catcher's mitt in 1976
FOOD OF THE GODS II: RISE OF THE SUPERCOWS #Monsterdon
I know we're supposed to make fun of this for being a terrible movie, but I have nothing intelligent to say other than practical effects are just better. As silly as all this is, the costume actually looks pretty good even though it was 1954.
I had the time of my life!

🛍️ LIITLE SHOP OF TRIVIA 🌷🦷
Shooting in two days, there had to be some issues with editing. One quick-fix was to place a shot of the moon between two disparate scenes.
🌔 20 years later, the writer came across an 8-page magazine article on the symbolism of the moon in #LittleShopOfHorrors1960.
young jack nicholson is back but this time he is *extremely jack nicholson" #monsterdon
PSA
we're not doing the awesome 80s version of little shop
we're doing the 60's Roger corman one
so
See, now I want someone to remake other Corman flicks as musicals. Attack of the Crab Monsters especially. #monsterdon
My heart will gooo oooooonn 🎵
Godzilla, insulted by people thinking Bagorah is he, arrives to set the record straight
what is going on with this guy's hair this is an emergency #monsterdon
Sometimes I have different feelings about a movie after I've slept on it, but...
This time all I can think is that it truly took goddamn Roger Corman to turn the gothiest goth poem of all time into a movie, cast three of the gothiest horror actors *of all time,* and somehow have it come out the other end as a goddamn wizard buddy comedy.
WELP they all fucked off into the countryside and I'm gonna go get some pizza before the place closes.
These sorcerers reminded me a lot of the petty wizards in Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light and I wonder if that was intentional. People writing cartoons back then loved weird movies.
Goodnight #monsterdon, tip your host @Taweret and see y'all next week!
the fight would be more engaging if there were any sort of rules of what they were and were not able to do and if we knew what they were
i can't listen to Karloff without thinking about the Grinch tho
i did not call the raven being a wisecracking wiseguy what in the fuck kind of movie is this #monsterdon

After Craven transforms Bedlo back into a human, Bedlo claims to have seen Lenore's ghost at Scarabus' castle, prompting the two to head to Scarabus' castle to seek Craven's lost love."
lol - several of the actors look like they're cast members for the Monkees TV series.

Emilio Estevez with the explicit consent. King shit. This budding romance is kinda awesome. Little bit sexy, little bit polite, little bit cool, little bit hot.
It's nice of everyone to be using their electronics near a window or in their yard, haunted house style
I feel like I could probably take the evil lawn sprinklers if I had to. #Monsterdon

While the formula proves initially useful in a variety of minor tasks, Xavier soon finds himself able to see things that no man was meant to see."
