If you’re ever feeling down, experiencing impostor syndrome, or just feel like giving up because you’re not good enough, remember… someone made tonight’s #Monsterdon movie and you are WAY better than them.

⚠️ VIEWER ADVISORY ⚠️
Multiple times in Blacula, offensive stereotyped behavior and slurs are used regarding LGBTQ+ characters. This may not be consistent with you having a safe space on Mastodon.
Mentioning this as an ally. I'm sure other participants do not condone this behavior and will effectively eviscerate it during the movie.
Hey #Monsterdon! I made you a design
If you go to my shop https://thediremushrump.threadless.com/ you'll see 3 options: color, black, or white. I hope you like them! ✨
Tonight was my 9 yr old son’s first Monsterdon and he had a blast. Thanks @Taweret and the #monsterdon family.
Monstordon CANNOT be missed tomorrow at 8pm CT
The movie?
The classic wholesome story of giant ants who help people and are nice:
THEM!
Whew! Made it home just in time for #Monsterdon ! Mute the hashtag if you don't want to get spammed with Kaiju nonsense for the next 1:45
We've watching another Godzilla move tonight, and while I am excited, I just don't see how as many things can possibly happen in this movie as our last Godzilla move, which had a things / second rate that asymptotically approached infinity.
who says your movie hase to have a "resolution" or "satisfying conclusion"
those things are for cowards
you can just stop your movie at an arbitrary point and roll the credits. no one can stop you
Y'all. I am so excited for #monsterdon tonight.
I have no idea how I did not know that Masters of the Universe (1987) existed. I was not like a huge He-Man fan or anything, but look, I was an 8 year old suburban American boy in 1987, how on earth did I not know that there was a live action movie of this.
It looks *awful*, and I am so here for this.
It's on IA: https://archive.org/details/masters-of-the-universe-1987_202304, watch it with us at 7 MST!
And warm up with this absolute banger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FR7wOGyAzpw

CRITTERS!
It's time for #Monsterdon
I will be watching a bad monster movie with a couple hundred of my closest friends for the next couple of hours. Join in! Critters (1986) is streaming free on Tubi! Or mute the #monsterdon tag to miss our shenanigans Or wonder what the hell I'm tooting about! Or watch a totally different movie and pretend our toots are about that! I'm not your boss! (Unless I am, sorry.)
Are you yeti for #Monsterdon?
Watch along, mute the tag, or prepare for a torrent of million-year old jokes to be unfrozen from the ice!
Root post for #Monsterdon: LASERBLAST!
(If you don't want to see me, and others, posting for two hours about kid from the 70s finding an alien laser, and, well, blasting, with it, mute the hashtag, this thread, or me)
The trailer for this movie seems to fit the title exactly: it mostly consists of Laser Blasts, plus a couple shots of E.T.-ripoff aliens[*] . However, I am suspicious: knowing the trailers for #Monsterdon -tier movies, I bet they put every single special effect that they could afford to film in the trailer, and the movie consists of 2 minutes of action and 83 minutes of characters I couldn't care less about saying things I don't want to hear.
So: go on this journey with me and let's find out together!
* Wait, this movie came out four years BEFORE E.T., which raises the fascinating possibility that Spielberg ripped of his alien design FROM THIS THING, HWAT?
Another #Monsterdon is in the can!
Special thanks to our guest host @wohali, filling in for @Taweret!

over the years (years omg) of hosting #monsterdon, I've heard from a lot of people that it's their little safe space. It's two hours a week where they can take a breath, laugh and connect with other people and not think about everything heavy and overwhelming in the world
Rest is not ignorance. You can't face real monsters if you're burnt out and hopeless. Sometimes, a little time with fake monsters is exactly what gives people the strength to keep going
Oh, hi, I didn't see you there. It must be because I'm distracted by the #Monsterdon happening in about 30 minutes (7 MDT).
If you don't want to learn what happens when Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster, then you just might want to mute the #Monsterdon hashtag (Preferences -> Filters -> Add New in the Mastodon web UI, for example). or Or OR you could check out #MonsterdonAlert for details, and you could follow that hashtag and watch along! And you could find out with us the answers to life's most important questions, such as: What happens when Frankenstein meets the Space Monster?
Another #Monsterdon is in the can!
Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!
Tonight's feature, #Bog, from 1979, didn't get ... cough ... bogged down in silly details like plot or character development. Instead we got,
Dynamite fishing!
Fry the Gun Elf!
Bog Witch!
Hypodemic Nurdle!
Bog Tumor!
Fifteen minutes of murky underwater footage!
Bog Eggs!
Blood Scent Generator!
Slime Trail!
Flammable Bog Monster!
Question Mark Ending!
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.
Another #Monsterdon is in the can!
Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!
Tonight's feature, #TheRaven , from 1963, was another Roger Corman film. Ties to the Edgar Allen Poe piece were superficial at best, with Richard Matheson (the screenplay writer) choosing to take a comedic view to the project. The film was shot in only fifteen days, and contained a large amount of ad-libbed lines, mostly from Peter Lorre. Highlights included:
Vincent Price!
Talking raven!
Magic potion stew!
Diabolical Mind Control!
Raspberry Jam!
Precious Viper!
Finger Manipulation Battle!
Wrapped up a podcast just in time for #monsterdon and y'all I have not seen this movie before!
