#monsterdonsavesChristmas 🎅

okay if we're doing #monsterdonsaveschristmas is looks like it will have to be Dec 21

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

you donate to charity of your choice (we'll recommend a couple but you can donate wherever you like) send us a screenshot (with your personal info scrubbed! we don't want it!) and we'll enter you in the giveaway. 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)

Dec 21 is coming fast so if you are contributing something for the giveaway you're running out of time to have it done

also I would really love a volunteer to be the person everyone dms their screenshots to. your task will be to keep a tally of how much has been donated (and keep the tl up to date on that) and to keep a simple spreadsheet of who's entered so we can pick winners, literally just a numbered list of names and then we'll pick random numbers (its one entry per person so its very simple) edit: someone has volunteered for this!

also if any lawyers on here know of any legal issues we need to be aware of please, please let us know

I can't remember who posted about this a few months back but it is HERE and I love it. :godzilla_cool:

My first #Monsterdon was an illegal amount of fun. Thanks peeps x

Love when the writers don't know how to end a movie so they just blow everything up and run credits.

Goodnight #monsterdon, and thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Misusing "parsec"! A noble scifi tradition.

Last October we had 70s Draculas. This year we have 80s Horror!

When I was an 80s kid at the video store, I was scared even looking at some of the horror movie covers. You know what I mean. (Creepshow)

But now I'm an adult with a drawing tablet and a hunger to recreate some of those imperfect, airbrushed monster movie looks 🎃

(FYI, this design has a background like a full VHS cover. This means on a t-shirt it's one big plasticky rectangle, caveat emptor)

this week #Monsterdon is doing one of the very best godzilla movies:

Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (GMK)

in this one godzilla's a vengeful spirit. Literally.
He’s possessed by the restless souls of those killed in World War II, and he’s furious that Japan is trying to forget them.

and mothra is etheral and sparkly

and Ghidorah is the good guy?

and also Baragon is there. and he tries

this one is weird and ambitious and if you've never seen a Godzilla movie or done #Monsterdon you should seriously considering joining us this time

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

official links will always be legal/free; I’m not affiliated with any bots/streams

o/~ It's the Final Count Down! NA na na na! NANANANANA! Na na na na... o/~ Okay I'm sorry I had to! LOL!

We are here ladies, gentlemen, and everyone in between! The FINAL day of #MonsterdonSavesChristmas ! And we're going to send it out with a bang!

Today so far, we've added another $1629.38! Not our highest day yet, but it's about to be! Also, with this additional funding, and the generous matching from @paco , @steggy , and others, we will now absolutely top 10K for this year! UNREAL!! We did it all! But we can still drive that number up, so if you haven't donated and are still intending to, get them in because the drive ends with the credits for Tails from the Crypt tonight!

Today also added a few new charities to the list of charities! We added, Greater Boston Food Bank, The Black LGBTQIA+ Migrant project (BLMP), The Transgender Law Center, and Food Gatherers! As well as personal donations to Kye and QuyetPaws to help them out! You guys do a lot of giving, and it's pretty glorious!

The current total donations are $7,533.60, and that's BEFORE the donation matching! Absolutely astonishing! Way to go! Ane we will be taking donations through the end of Tails from the Crypt! I'll be running a tally during the movie, and if anything big happens posting the bumps! I like this movie, but please, keep me too busy to watch it. ;)

After the movie I'll do a final total, and we'll start the drawing for the giveaways. So stick around and keep an eye out for that!

Y'all are amazing,

I just want to take a second and remind #Monsterdon about the real reason for the season

70s movies are like everyone looks like they haven't showered but some of their fashion is cool

90s movies are like okay everyone seems to have showered at least but I hate all their clothes

I'm unironically having a great time, y'all. This feels so much like a bunch of film school kids made their own Clash of the Titans. Like every cheesy stop motion effect was just a labor of love for someone. I grew up with this kinda thing. ❤️
#Monsterdon #Hercules

the reviews for hercules (1983) are impeccable

#monsterdon

Despite a list of filters two pages long, doom headlines are regularly hitting me in the gut. For someone in deep nervous system exhaustion and AuDHD burnout, this is a real problem. I'm going to try and be on Mastodon a lot less. Saving Sunday for #Monsterdon of course!

I have no idea if this will look any different to mufos - if I'm checking once a day vs many times, who will know or care? But I do value my connections very much. So if it seems like I'm interacting less, this is why. <3

I can't help feeling that it was this card that made Burton think, "Oh my god, I've got to make this into a movie." The essence of the movie is right here. #Monsterdon

Sarah chooses death. on purpose while freshly turned. She says 'Forever? No.'

that choice fractures the whole system. It's the first refusal Miriam has ever encountered. her power depends on emotional dominance, not just blood and Sarah’s autonomy undoes her

#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ
It all started with the Dracula movies last October which are legitimately real estate movies, but every monster movie where the monster is localized to some specific place has a shady real estate transaction at its core.

Food of the gods? Selling the real estate where the god food flows
Little shop of horrors? Overcoming bad location for a flower shop
Clash of the titans? Real estate agent neglected to mention that the old guy's coliseum was linked to a scale model in heaven where the gods play out their schemes
First men in the moon? Escape earth to escape mortgage payments

  TRIVIA FROM THE BLACK LAGOON

Herstory

Bud Westmore, head of Universal's makeup department was given credit for The Creature's design, but it was really Milicent Patrick, makeup designer, animator, special effects artist, and actor who deserved the credit.

She was the first woman to work in a special effects makeup department.

And the Raven, ever quipping, still is sitting, still is sitting

On the dark bronze bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;

And his eyes are bleary blinking like a wizard's who's been drinking,

Kaleidoscope o’er him streaming throws bright colors on the floor;

And my soul from out those credits that lie floating on the floor

Shall be lifted—nevermore!

#Monsterdon

one thing 70s movies are very consistent about - they want you to hate every single character

#Monsterdon

Well, I feel like every single man in that film was quite enough monster on a conscious level without needing to bring the subconscious into it at all. But it was a very cool concept, and Robby is the best!

Looking forward to reading up on the making of because some of those effects were fabulous. But now it's going on for 4am so the rabbithole will just have to wait.

Cheers for the company, everyone! #Monsterdon

I just logged back on after several hours and found all the #Monsterdon posts.
It's like waking up to find the remains of a party the previous night that seems like it might have been of fun but also involved some poor judgement and regret.

slug CHOMP is by far the best part of this movie so far, I wish we had more of that

Hi everyone, I'm Hubert and I draw monsters (often traditional art) / do concept arts and illustrations for movies, series (netflix), videogames, TTRPG and books.

I mean,

OBJECTIVELY SPEAKING

it probably wasn't ACTUALLY the worst movie we've seen on #Monsterdon. The plot was gross, but it made sense. The people making it were competent, the scenes were professional, the acting was... Reasonable.

But how can you sit down and watch people act out Gene Roddenberry's personal fetishes for an hour and ten minutes and NOT come out the other end feeling like you'd just been dipped in used motor oil?
