monsterdon
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?
finished watching The Evil Force 🌕🌗🌑🌑🌑
Very little action for most of the film.

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.

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!

wants to watch FantastiCozzi 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
Documentary on Luigi Cozzi, director of #Monsterdon #Fantasy #SciFi #BMovies like Starcrash, Hercules etc
Interesting but would have been more so if they had others (e.g. Argento, actors & producers etc) also speaking about him & his films, not just him.

🫵 QUICK! Inside the stone mouth! 🗿
Tonight, on #monsterdon : It's 1985's The Adventures of Hercules 💪 ! The answer to the question: "nobody really liked the last movie we made, what if we made it again? But kind of different! But not *too* fundamentally different, it's not like these actors have much range!"
Come, be one of us and post along! You won't regret it too much!
