Hey @NickGates

* Do you have leisure at this stage in your life? If so, there is a glitch in the system.
This Sunday at 9pm Eastern (1am Monday UTC) once again rises #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party! Come join us as we watch a cheesy monster movie and toot about it!
This week we're watching VAMPIRE CIRCUS (1972) a Hammer horror flick about circus vampires preying on children in 19th century Serbia! Given who made it, we can probably expect lots of arterial spray and maybe some bare boobs.
The flick's free over on Tubi: https://tubitv.com/movies/100004533/vampire-circus
Or on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMbG7lnzccI
Or you can download in advance from archive.org: https://archive.org/details/vampire-circus-1972-1080p-blu-ray-yts.-mx
See you there!

About a year ago, we watched Invaders From Mars (1953) on #Monsterdon. I enjoyed the film. Today, I learned that Jimmy Hunt, the young star of that movie died a few weeks ago. He was 85. RIP

@CactuarJoe live t' serve
@CactuarJoe But also in this particular case the cinematographer was doing a LOT of back seat directing to keep this thing coherent and I think succeeded. Massive credit.
@LoganFive I am here for #Monsterdon
It's also occasionally nice to get some semblance of social interaction without all the hassle it takes to meet people in real life

What should our next #Monsterdon movie be?
@CatsWhoCode
One day perhaps.

On last night's #monsterdon, Stephen King finally makes what Kubrick couldn't – The perfect Stephen King adaptation. Growling guns, Zombie Bible salesmen, pancakes and perfectly logical decisions at every step.

Bonus #WrongFrogs feature with Trucks (1997) (and not made by Stephen King, thus bad): https://monsterdon-replay.gerlach.dev/trucks
It's funny how last night's #Monsterdon started off with "All machines of every type are rebelling!" but by the second act it was "Actually, turns out it's just trucks. Everything else is fine."
But yeah, I didn't think Maximum Overdrive was as bad as its made out to be. It's not a GOOD movie, but it sure as hell ain't Invasion of the Star Creatures.
I'd put MO in the same category as Night of the Comet and Clash of the Titans -- Good Bad Movies. The category of which Tremors is king. :D #Monsterdon
New series on Apple TV #wrongfrogs #Monsterdon /j
#Monsterdon I just gave my nephew my old car yesterday. I hope it doesn't turn sentient and try to kill him. Or have a green monster face.
