maybe dont go around announcing you're going to dethrone the king around a bunch of the kings men and whatnot #monsterdon

Pissy guys who want to go to war: "We've no time for riddles and symbols, just tell us who to kill"

Oracles everywhere: <rolls eyes>

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

I jumped the gun and watched #JasonAndTheArgonauts tonight because I won’t be able to watch it tomorrow during #monsterdon’s regular time slot. What a ripping good movie!

I would say more, but I don’t want to be spoiler guy for anybody who hasn’t seen it before. I have it on DVD, so I was grateful for the excuse to watch it. Have fun, monsterdonners!

OH FATHER TIME!!!!!

#monsterdon #bestOfMonsterdon #TimeSkullsOfMonsterdon #HonkinShnozCupsOfMonsterdon

This movie was made. People worked on it. Someone decided to spend money making it. How. #monsterdon #hercules1985

"Can i just see it grow a little bit"

#Monsterdon #BestOfMonsterdon #SeeingItGrowsOfMonsterdon #ItWouldMeanAGreatDealToMe

Hercules Log Crush & Throw Full Scene (official) #monsterdon #BestOfMonsterdon #LogThrowsOfMonsterdon

The biggest thing I can say about that movie is that I genuinely think Starcrash is a better film.

#Monsterdon

This is based on Roman myth the same way Lucky Charms is based on Celtic myth. #Monsterdon

"The Black Lotus... Its nectar numbs the mind... Makes you pay $3 million for a piece of cardboard..." #Monsterdon

Daedalus is really just Rita Repulsa. #Monsterdon

bechdel pass! bechdel pass! #monsterdon

THE RAINBOW TO THE GATES OF HELL!?!?!?!?!?! #monsterdon

WHEREAS, the 1983 film Hercules is a triumph of cinematic artistry,

WHEREAS, the gods have some labors that need doing,

WHEREAS, we have some sci-fi models left over from the last movie we filmed,

THEREFORE, let it be resolved that #monsterdon shall commence in 2 hours, at 7 PM MDT!

@Taweret ...Okay Lou Ferrigno as Hercules? Done by the Starcrash people? NNnnnnnnyeahokay I'm in. #Monsterdon

i went to war against the daleks and all i got was this fabulous Ziggy Gaydust cape

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

These are the least combat ready Daleks in the history of Daleks. This city must be where they send Daleks that wash out of basic Dalek training.

#monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

I’m calling that “homeopathic Doctor Who.” It was a movie made from the memories of great Doctor Who episodes, but they didn’t remember them very well.

As always, thanks to @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for #MonsterdonBingo, @JoeWynne for #MonsterdonDrink and #MonsterdonTrivia, @ryan for #MonsterdonStream, @paco for #MonsterdonData at https://gallery.don.monster, and all of you for making it awesome!

#Monsterdon

the reason why the "goodbye" scene is so hollow is that not only did they not characterize any of the twink colony, they didn't even characterize any of the leads to give a hint as to why they would give a shit about any of this #monsterdon

Daleks got their number font from a Greek restaurant. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon STAND. ON. THE. HEXAGON.

Dalek: Yeah, but have you ever tried to exterminate ON DRUGS!

#monsterdon #DrWhoandTheDaleks

dog you are getting inside someone else's wall-e pod where they live their entire life, you can just smell the fuckin film of life paste over every button and joystick #monsterdon

if only the daleks had equipped their protective personal tanks with weapons instead of a whisk

#monsterdon

the city of cute twinks that are also floating glowing rocks has let their diplomatic knowledge lapse in their pastoral forest existence, so now they are totally credulous to the most basic machinations of the mutant robot mech race that they used to live alongside in a state of constant conflict #monsterdon

it is me or is the boyfried cosplaying Dick Van Dyke ―who, btw, is still with us at the tender age of 100.

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

the moral of the story is pay and credit your workers equitably so they feel comfortable coming forward with their life force draining brainwave reactor without fear of being scooped #monsterdon

We made it! And now we're all a little older

Thanks for the laughs everyone! :D

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Let's all go have root beers and enjoy our solidity

#Monsterdon #4DMan

OH LINDA KILLED HIS ASS, GOOD JOB! :D

Legit good creative decision movie, I heartily approve! :D :D :D #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Guy's got a completely blank award on his wall.

Okay actually I can say two nice things about this movie: the soundtrack *is* good. It's not a good choice for this movie, but the music is good.

#Monsterdon

This movie should’ve been named Guys And Dolls

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

Hugo laid helplessly in a hospital bed.

Marianne lies helplessly in her own bed.

We lie helplessly before this movie slowly bleeding out.

#Monsterdon Inside this boring full length movie is a boring short film.

Exciting #monsterdon news. Thanks to @combatwombat who has a database of all the toots from all the old monsterdons, I am able to retroactively run my analysis on old events. Take a look at the oldest event he had: Mothra (1961) from Thursday, 24 Mar 2022. (It was on a Thursday??)

Only 119 posts in the entire event? Hell, @Lazarou does that many alone these days! 😃

A histogram showing posts per minute on Thursday, 24 Mar 2022. Each bar represents one minute. The event was 101.0 minutes long. There were 119 posts during the event with an average of 1.18 posts per minute.

The busiest moment was at 22:00 from the start with 6 posts in that minute. The quietest moment was at 0:00 from the start with 0 posts in that minute. The yellow line is a 15-minute moving average.

Alright, congratulations everybody, you survived. Good job.

Now. Was PLANET EARTH (1974) the WORST #MONSTERDON MOVIE OF THE YEAR?

#Monsterdon

This is embarrassing on a *number* of levels. #Monsterdon

Stop it with the horny oboe music, movie. You have not earned it.

#monsterdon

It’s got Temu Raquel Welch!

#monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

I left mainstream SM a year ago and got sucked back in. I’m back with a plan to share #photography #music #art #writing #light #thoughts and decentralization of all the things. The 'don is where it's at.

I live in the American south and get by making meaning in various mediums. Science writer by day.

Let's keep it real, tho -- I'm also here to share the love for #Monsterdon.🧌

@503bartley @cstross

Ok, Monsterdon fans, are you willing to allow a spyware visible search on Amazon for a novel titled *’Melania: Devourer of Men’* in the interest of the greater good?

It’s currently selling for $6.53 on Amazon.ca if you really want a paperback copy but the ebook download is free.

Reddit has proposed an effort to get this trending.

did the wife just die from seeing the cactus arm??? where did she go!?!!? #monsterdon

even though the cactoid has absorbed many life forms after which it could choose any body form, it has chosen "cactus octopus" which i think reveals the best that earthly body plans have to offer #monsterdon

Cut it out with the bunsen burners left lit and unsupervised!! That is terrible practice, not to mention wasteful!

#monsterdon

you are not stanley kubrick you cannot pull off a silent scene of space things happening #monsterdon

Laundry is DONE

Stew dinner prep for the week is DONE

We did it, #monsterdon - we conquered that which would have been "Too Long, Too Much Boring Shit" for MST3K

this is. THE POWER!

now let's never talk about Godzilla 1998 again.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Radioactive lizards off the coast of French Polynesia. I watched tuna fish glitter in the dark near Central Park. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

A Warning

In less than an hour we will start one of the largest events on the Fediverse. It is called Monsterdon.

At 8pm CST on Sundays we watch a cheesy monster movie together. At this time, your feed may fill up with strange posts comment on what is going on.

This week's monster is the American Godzilla 1998

If you want to watch with us, follow the #monsterdon tag. If you don't, you can mute it. Or stay offline for a couple of hours.

JOIN US! It'll be fun.

@Taweret wait, nukes are the *French's* fault somehow? I haven't seen this movie, and I head heard there were some problems with it, but the country with the most nukes made a movie about the downsides of nukes and it's *someone else's fault*??????

Don't sweat the details. Like in Death Race 2000, where fixes for vehicle problems were solved during shooting.

Part 1
🔸 The cars are actually kit cars, rebodied chassis. They were driven on public streets often to save money.
🔸 Stunt drivers refused to drive them on public streets because they were not street legal.
🔸So Roger Corman drove sometimes.

Is it just me or has Euthanasia Day become too commercialized?

but first gotta get ready for #monsterdon

#baking #zefir

The polls are now closed! The results are in and the Best, Worst, and Most Fun #Monsterdon movies of the year have been chosen!

With an overpowering 63% of the vote, FORBIDDEN PLANET (1956) wins Best Movie! Those excellent special effects and that brilliant color really pop, huh ^^

The vote for Worst Movie was a little closer, but VAMPIRE ON BIKINI BEACH (1988) managed to edge out the other two for a decisive win! I can only assume the completely nonsensical dialogue and incomprehensible climax pushed it over the edge. The gold statuette will be awarded by a hazardous waste official in full gear, congratulations!

And finally, the Most Fun Monsterdon movie has been won by DEVIL GIRL ON MARS (1954)! Congratulations to Nyah on finally achieving a victory where she blows up in a POSITIVE way at the end!

Thanks to everyone who voted and as always to @Taweret for hosting the best movie watch party on the Fediverse. See you again on Sunday! :D

THE SCROLL OF MANSPLAINING

#monsterdon

"Perhaps YOU???"

Look dude, I got no wife to cheat on, I don't drive, I don't own real estate, and I was never in the military. And I make it a point to never buy obviously cursed idols, though I admit to still being a little confused about that one. Is antiquing a sin? #Monsterdon

Pretty sure this is the same guy from A Clockwork Orange. #monsterdon

Ten-ish minutes until #Monsterdon! Get your food set up and your filters cued!

Wait. Hold up. Backwards.

Get your filters set up and your food cued!

No. The movie gets cued. The food gets, uh, prepared.

Oh it's VERY four days to christmas around here @_@

Not everyone has somewhere to be for the holidays. Some people are estranged, or grieving, or just alone.

If that's you: #Monsterdon is here.

Sunday. 8PM CT/9pm ET.

We're watching Tales from the Crypt (1972) and yelling about evil Santa together. You don't have to talk. You can just be there

The movie is streaming free on Tubi and it looks like there's several uploads on YouTube also. we all hit play at the same time and post about it using the hashtag #monsterdon

we're also doing a fundraiser with a giveaway with items some of our regular monsterdonners have made

#MonsterdonAlert

Sunday, Dec 21, 2025, 8PM CT (2AM Monday UTC)

IT'S #MONSTERDON

we will be watching:

Tales From the Crypt (1972)

BECAUSE

it has an evil Santa in it and this week is

#MonsterdonSavesChristmas !!

Monsterdon is raising money for charity this week and you can win some cool stuff that monsterdonners have made!

its a giveaway. (not a raffle) we're not collecting money or selling tickets or anything

how it works:

any time this week before monsterdon (or like now if you want 👀) make a donation to charity, screenshot it (scrub your personal info! we don't want it!) and DM the screenshot to:

@xoagray

(NOT to ME. we want to keep the tally straight)

we are recommending as charities the Trans Lifeline and the Rainbow Railroad but you can give to a different charity if you want

donate any amount you like (also if you can't afford to donate you can still be entered. you will have the same odds of winning something regardless, one entry per person, void where prohibited, etc etc)

deadline for donations: the end of the monsterdon movie on Sunday night!

Do you want to win this poisonous mushroom set I made? You could! Details here https://timeloop.cafe/@Taweret/115724942939849797

See them in motion! https://youtube.com/shorts/N4tCUoFPQ3M

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonSavesChristmas

And the She-Creature fucks off into the sea after far too little screen time. Less creepy hypnotists, more She-Creature, movie!

And that's it for #monsterdon! Thanks to @Taweret for hosting and see y'all next week!

moral of the story: don't cast women back into their primoridial sea monster form to kill your enemies and force them to fall in love with you, because they will turn against you and kill you instead so they can release their soul in the present from the life of torture you made them endure #monsterdon

hypnotizing this woman until she believes she can do an irish accent, we'll make billions #monsterdon

#MonsterdonAlert

Sunday, Dec 14, 2025, 8PM CT (2AM Monday UTC)

Thinking about last night's #Monsterdon, the lonely toy-maker sure could have made a fortune selling miniature pets.

You make existing pets tiny, like that cat. That'd be fun to have a tiny cat you could keep in a doll house.

And you could make giant animals pet-sized. Elephants are naturally friendly. Imagine if they were cat-sized!

That toy maker could have been the richest man on earth. And that's before you consider military or space-program applications.

The abrupt ending, as ALWAYS! 😂😂

@Mallow : "That's IT? No resolution?"
Me: "That's the quintessential #Monsterdon experience."
@Mallow: "I feel cheated!"

😂

a theater is full of tons of places where a doll sized person could hide out and wait out the murder suicide #monsterdon

alright sure you could not see 'people being made into dolls' coming since that's not something that's ever happened, but how long can you go in this job without ever seeing a doll made and not get suspicious it's a front for something #monsterdon

oh no how did I get tricked into another American International joint

Anyone who has been interested in jumping in on #Monsterdon I recommend trying it tonight. The movie is fairly OK as far as B movies of this era go, there's nothing gross or really upsetting. This director doesn't always know how to pace things but he's turned in worse.

Fans of #MST3K will remember Bert I. Gordon's other films "Earth vs. The Spider", "The Beginning of the End", "The Amazing Colossal Man", "War of the Colossal Beast", and "Village of the Giants". He liked making big things small, and small things big. You'll also recognize John Agar, John Hoyt, and June Kennedy.

Join us at 9PM EST tonight.

WHAT IS #MONSTERDON ?

it's a weekly watch party

every Sunday at 8PM CT (2AM Monday UTC)

every week we vote on a B movie, usually something with a monster or at least aliens

the movie is always something available on a free streaming site like Pluto or Tubi or such

we all start the movie at the same time and post about it with the hashtag #monsterdon

also follow the hashtag #monsterdonalert for polls, updates and announcements

The guinea pig is okay and that's the important thing.

Still suffering with the Extended Cut of The Asphyx here. I am in agony.

I will do early thanks to @Taweret for running our event, @JoeWynne for the trivia and @cherizilla for the bingo!

Meanwhile..... kill me please. I can't deal with all of these death scenes.

You know, typically, one writes an ending for a movie, just a thought

#Monsterdon

So they're bringing the cab driver in for decontamination, and they're _burning his cab_, but not asking who else he might have picked up or where he lives..?

I don't know, this feels like both an over-reaction and an under-scoping of the task at hand.

(Did you know this film only ever got a physical disc release in Germany, according to my local video store? They put in some real work to track it down!)
