#monsterdon The doctor theorized that the Blood Rust was strictly carnivorous, but in fact it mostly eats luggage.

Ugh, I hate the “I have this old book, could you tell me more about it?” reference question. Have a defined information need. #Monsterdon

IT'S #MONSTERDON

we will be watching:

Vampires on Bikini Beach (1988)

"Hard bodies, hot waves, and rock-and-roll rule the beach—that is until a rash of bizarre murders hits a Californian seaside community."

(there's no trailer on youtube so you know this one is a winner)

Hey, did you know The Howling (1981) has an embarrassingly large number of sequels?

Some great titles, though. The Howling II: Your Sister is a Werewolf is just short of a great light novel title. The Howling III is subtitled The Marsupials, which has gotta be *someone's* fetish, right?

#Monsterdon

we're never gonna get creatures like this in movies again. just computer generated boring crap because its faster and cheaper

#Monsterdon

Oh. Oh I see. That explains it: it's because #Monsterdon is a Yank thing, so it only gets started at 1am. Pfft, as if!

Well.

I CALL UPON OUR GALLANT ALLIES IN EUROPE:

Let us have CET and hygge!!

Let us have metric units of measurement!!

Let us have the REAL Hallowe'en.

Let us have reasonably-timed watch parties!! 💪🏼

Who's with me??

#MastoDaoine #WatchParty

I have some new followers, and then there's the whole #fuckaas crew who have all recently joined. If this is your first Sunday on Mastodon, you're about to be clobbered by around 3000 messages tagged #monsterdon in the next hour. We're doing a group film watch (feel free to join in, see below). But if this is kinda overwhelming, you should mute the hashtag. (also see below) There are a lot of watch parties here, so you kinda need to mute the ones that you don't join.

I love how #Monsterdon just finds new people by accident.
"WTF is going on? What is this movie? Please tell me more."

"He'll be able to suck his way through the entire town"

I think they've already made a bunch of movies like that

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

No #Monsterdon for me tonight, I'm on a roll with homework. :)

I hope everyone has fun!

how do they know there's only one monster?

#monsterdon

Hey there! My name is Cheri and I've been on Mastodon since 2017. I'm mostly here for friendship and internet buffoonery, but if you enjoy mystery and science fiction stories, check out my work 👇

You can get my ebooks 📚 #DRMfree at https://www.cheribaker.com

Most Sundays, I post a #MonsterdonBingo card for the #Monsterdon live watch event, 30 minutes before showtime. Follow #MonsterdonAlert for information on how to join the fun.

Nice to meet ya! Hope to see you around.

I am fully aware of how dangerous bears can be but also when they run they just look so galumphy and cute

#Monsterdon

I'm going to be missing #monsterdon tonight because I am watching this instead.

*villain gradually turns into a horrifying plant creature*

HE IS AFFLICTED WITH LICHEN-THROPY

#monsterdon

Pondering downloading tonight’s #monsterdon movie, burning it to DVD in 4:3, and watching it on my CRT TV.

Dear #monsterdon . . .

Just a note to say that as a non-participant, I love to see my tl flooded with your output.

Enjoy the film! I haven't seen it for prolly 5 decades, but I did think it was funny and strange and even a little scary. The blooms got to me.

Community is resistance, so keep up the good work!

I feel like Trump's 2nd term should qualify as a Gojira triggering event. #monsterdon

I am here trying to watch this *very serious* film and Patrick is yelling "magic missile!" at the screen.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon that's my CATBOY BOYFRIEND and i LOVE HIM DADDY

ARE WE GETTING A DENOUEMENT IN THE FORM OF A ONE-SCREEN TEXT OVERLAY

oh my god
oh my god

And that's a wreck! The survivors of the Dixie Boy truck stop fuck off into the sea or whatever, space aliens are destroyed by a nuclear strike from a Russian "weather satellite" offscreen, nothing makes any more sense at the end of the film than in the middle or at the beginning BUT IT IS DONE

Thanks, @Taweret for hosting! Thanks for the bingo card, @Cherizilla!

Thank you & good night, #monsterdon !

This is me after Christmas dinner, just stumbling around, falling over everything, blinking at the lights, confused

* Do they both scream
* Do the scream at each other about something other than a man

#Monsterdon

I was going to skip #Monsterdon tonight because of some intense depression, but I decided that I probably needed Monsterdon more than anything, to help. So, here I am.

Frankenstein what's now?
Voting is important but sometimes @Taweret you throw us a title and we Monsterdonners are a simple folk. We are suckers for the dumbest title we have ever heard of on a list.
#Monsterdon

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's feature, #ClashOfTheTitans , from 1981, is a Harryhausen classic, and also his final work before retiring. This version of the Greek myth of Perseus included

Fun fact, night was not invented until 1992, that's why all these movies have to fake it with day-for-night shots

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Wow, maybe don't admit that you fell in love while you were sneaking into her bedroom.

That might not be as romantic as you think it is.

#monsterdon At least this guy is having fun.

is this a real movie?

#Monsterdon

Hi, I discovered that the Internet Archive has some deleted scenes from tonight's #Monsterdon movie, Starcrash (1979). I am intrigued and horrified regarding (a) what kind of scene is so bad that it gets cut from Monsterdon fare, and (b) the concept of a Monsterdon movie that has enough of a budget that they can afford to cut scenes, and are not basically compelled to put every second they shot on screen.

Anyway I intend to watch them after the main feature if anyone wants to join me.

That was...slimy....and weird....and they said "human females" more times than I would have expected walking into this, but hey we did it!

Thanks @Taweret for hosting!

#Monsterdon #Bog1979

THIS IS IT. THIS IS THE BEST MONSTER REVEAL we will ever see #monsterdon

why were people in the 70s like this?

#monsterdon

the boomer humor of the nagging wife is so fucking tedious and not funny

#Monsterdon

OH MY BOG

WE DID IT

#Monsterdon

i'm out of breath laughing at this fucking movie, this is one of the best #monsterdon movies i have ever seen

This is why GMO-free Kaiju are so important.

@blogdiva Japan has always had a good grasp on satirizing America. But they have two modes. Bitingly bitter commentary hidden in a joke, or hah hah funny cowboys.
Here is costar of this movie, Kane Kosugi, as an American ninja cowboy.

#Monsterdon well i hope we all learned a very valuable lesson about trying to play god by converting everything to noncorporeal form and accidentally creating monsters from the id

Men will create monsters from their own id that try to kill everyone around them and themselves, before going to therapy.
#Monsterdon #ForbiddenPlanet

Keeping myself entertained with Gamera GIFs #monsterdon

I get it now! The filmmakers made the movie slow ON PURPOSE so that I could read all the #Monsterdon posts!

I like science guy. I'm rooting for science guy. He's a nerd in the traditional sense. Not one of those modern "hot nerds" only pretending to be nerdy.

#Monsterdon

Just shape-shift into a Crite, then get elected president of the Crites, then dismantle all of their social services

#monsterdon

so the monster didn't fuck off into the sea; but got it's head chopped off by Christopher Lee. that makes it a win for me.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP GOING OUTSIDE AND IN THE DARK ALL BY THEMSELVES AND WITHOUT AT LEAST A BASEBALL BAT?!?!

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

Masters of the Universe was awful, but still preferable to the sportsball game.

#monsterdon

OK, stuff about me.

I did computers for a living, but only because I had do to something. They stink. Fuck computers.

So now I've somehow ended up doing (very) old computers and (brand) new electronics for a sidehustle, because it's at least something I am competent at. They still suck.

I like cooking and making good food and drink for family and friends. It hardly ever sucks.

I also like making music. My last album is a few years old by now. I will make another one soon, I hope. I think my music's pretty good. I like most non-vocal music, and some music that has vocals.

I used to read a lot, but for some reason I'm struggling to get back into the habit. A few authors I like, in no particular order: Iain (M.) Banks, Octavia Butler, Howard Tayler, Stanislaw Lem, Ursula K. Le Guin, James Joyce, N.K. Jemisin, Dante, Sappho, Pablo Neruda, Lev Vygotsky, Banana Yoshimoto.

I also used to do a lot of theatre - tech, music, and some direction. Nowadays I just go when I can afford it.

When my hands cooperate, I knit and do other detail-oriented crafts.

I don't like raccoons or opossums. I love cats. Dogs are all right too.

On here I adore #monsterdon - a group B-movie watch on Sunday evenings (9PM ET). Won't you join us?

This isn't an exhaustive list. :blobcat:​

Ah, no bingo for me! In related news, I'm gonna go sit quietly in a corner and scrub this from my brain. 😂 Thanks for the camaraderie, Monster people. #Monsterdon

OMG they really tried to make this an hommage to the Marx Brothers, Abbott & Costello, and now WB LOONEY TUNES WITH A GUY THAT LOOKS LIKE ELMER FUDD, RE-ENACTING THE SCENE WHEN HE FREAKS OUT BECAUSE HE “KILLED” BUGS.

this is why there is no such thing as easy comedy.

comedy is freaking hard.
