I came very late to the party, so apologies if someone has already shared this. You can check out all of the original 1962 Mars Attacks trading cards online. Apparently they were quite controversial at the time for their violence and dark themes. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon #TalesFromTheCrypt1972

@argumento most humans can't live in crisis mode 24/7 and need the occasional break from reality for our mental health. You know, so we have the strength to fight the good fight.

The #Monsterdon crowd is one of the most anti-capitalist, anti-genocide, ACAB groups of people I've ever been involved with (and I say that as a liberal Quaker).

Let us have a couple of hours a week to be silly and point out that "capitalism was the real monster all along."

Please. Don't piss in my cornflakes. I can care about Greta while watching a shitty movie.

i like to think the flying saucers took out Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh, Barret, Gorsuch and Roberts in one fell swoop

how it works:

@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)

also if you're one of the people donating an item for the giveaway please post about it with the hashtags #monsterdon and #monsterdonsaveschristmas so people can see what they can win!

Careful #monsterdon fans, there is a #WrongFrogs this week!

Do not watch the 2018 film "The Stuff!"

Do not watch the 2015 film "Stuff"!

Do not watch the 1999 film "Stuff!"

Do not watch the 1993 short film "Stuff"!

And do not watch the 2019 short film "Stuff"!

And absolutely do not watch "The Right Stuff" (1983)!

(OK, watch that, but not for Monsterdon.)

#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!

#Monsterdon #HouseonHauntedHill

Ohhh i get to brag about my personal connection to this week's #monsterdon!

I was a docent at The House On Haunted Hill back when it was open to the public once or twice a month (the interior is rather more impressive than the sets they used in the movie)

I do think more movies should end with corporate executives being devoured from the inside by the excesses of their own malfeasance. #Monsterdon

modern movies could learn a lesson from old timey b movies. you can just suddenly end your movie. just boom. just its over. things don't need to resolve

#monsterdon

Zardos?

Is that ... you ???

we might need to do a real Godzilla movie next week as a palate cleanser

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)

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,
