  Sorry #Monsterdon, I was out touching grass last weekend. #Werewolf #Fursuit #WPAFW2026

  Y'know, another of those 60s movies I remember from the 1960s as being absolutely incomprehensible but entertaining? Fearless Frank (1967), starring a young Jon Voight. It's no more #Monsterdon material than Darkman is, but it is campy fun.

  Faugh. Fell asleep a couple of hours before #Monsterdon last night - been feeling a bit under the weather - and didn't wake up until dawn this morning. I'll be out-of-town next weekend, too.

  Per Wikipedia, Journey to the Center of Time (1967), written, directed and produced by David L. Hewitt, is a loose remake of The Time Travelers (1964), co-written by the same David L. Hewitt. The Time Travelers, directed by Ib Melchior (of other #Monsterdon fame), also happens to be the first movie I remember seeing in a theater, back when it was released. The MST3000 riff on The Time Travelers is on Tubi, though the original film is not. The full film can be found on the Internet Archive.

  #Monsterdon will be starting in about forty-five minutes. A bunch of folks will be hitting play on a monster-themed movie at the same time and posting comments on it as they come to mind. Needless to say, that's a lot of posts - often several thousand. This week: Sting of Death (1966). If you don't want to see all that, be sure you've got the hashtag muted (click on the tab and mute it). If you do want to take part, come on in!

  Thanks to @Taweret@timeloop.cafe for 1:35 of soft 80s rock wrapped around the Apocalypse as experienced by LA teenagers. We had smoking, but no coffee. Gratuitous violence and retail therapy. Chakotay as Santa Claus. Some weird mad-scientist blood harvest sub-plot. Empty LA streets. Red dust. The world's most deadly comet (appearing offstage). Zombies as a degenerative disease. The nation's #1 neon sex pad and radio station. Tempest. McMuffins mentioned but not seen, BMW product placem...

  One last post - pretty sure Tony Snegoff (suit actor from the Werewolf TV series) is in one of the creature suits here; he's credited as "stunts". #Monsterdon #TheGuyver1991

  We had house guests, so no #Monsterdon indulgence last night.

  Big thanks to @Taweret@timeloop.cafe for a high-end Monsterdon film this week. Always nice to have a class axe once in a while. We had smoking. A lot of smoking. And, coffee. Lots of very bright red blood, splashed about liberally. Extra-dimensional slimy monsters, with tentacles. An old country recipe for coleslaw being demonstrated (handcuffs optional). Folks doing strange things with their eyes. Shotgun suicide. Old-school typewriter in use ... In short, Sam Neill visits Lovecraft's Br...

  And a big thank you to @Taweret for tonight's choice of feature. You couldn't go wrong with giant atomic insects in the 50s. I wasn't watching this one as intently, but I believe we had no smoking and no coffee. Death count of several thousand, mostly off-screen. Annoying repetitive sound (the "Grasshopper Screech" for what seemed to be the entire last half of the film. #Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

  Big thanks to @Taweret@timeloop.cafe for tonight's choice of Mel Brooks Great Mistake. Still amazing how bad of a script got such a competent presentation. No smoking, no coffee. Mild-mannered Loc-Nar visits post-apocalyptic Earth and claims orphans for the core of a new cult. Close-up death by immolation and by sadistic robot, and likely many other deaths by collateral damage to destroying camps and stations (though the film is careful to point out that the bad guys use stun rifles). War...

  ... also noticed that Kraa! (from the same folks that brought us Zarkorr!) is on Tubi. A quick glance suggests it has better production values, though I did not see the titular creature (and did not want to spoil any future viewing). #Monsterdon

  I've recently seen it; Solarbabies does have a lot to comment on (or poke fun at) but overall it's not as entertaining as, say, Tank Girl, which covers some of the same ground. Still, it's not as bad as Vampires on Bikini Beach. I did pick it as one of my choices this week. #Monsterdon

  I've seen Wolfen several times, even managing to see it thrice in it's short theatrical run. #Monsterdon last night was not be, though. After a huge dinner the household all decided to have a quick nap. I didn't wake until almost an hour into the Monsterdon showing.

  Big thanks to @Taweret@timeloop.cafe for this fine example of low-budget 70s film. Not quite horror, not quite sci-fi, Christopher Lee and the Six Nuns carried us through roughly an hour and a half of thin plot and much padding. Much smoking, multiple coffee teases but I don't think anybody ever actually *drank* any coffee. Secret government listening post in an abandoned zoo, just for fun. Death count in the billions, which I guess is something. #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977
