@klu9@ohai.social Ooh, that sheet for 4D Man with the caption about Robert Lansing "threatened by Lee Merriwether"! #Monsterdon

@RachelThornSub@famichiki.jp FWIW I've bookmarked The Old Dark House for October. It's available on archive.org *and Kanopy* (library app)! In fact, I'd totally be up for a "decaying old mansion" theme for October. #Monsterdon movies don't have to be bad! They just need monsters of some type (even when the monsters are us / the people).
I listened to a 2025 episode of "Criminal" which discussed a legal precedent about who gets to decide who lives and dies, and the *process* for deciding that. https://thisiscriminal.com/episode-337-the-custom-of-the-sea-10-24-2025/
I was reminded of this post & article I recently boosted.
I understand the Bastille Day celebrations. One good thing a King and a Bonaparte did, a day and some 37 years afterwards. Not Napoleon. His brother Joseph, who abolished the Spanish Inquisition and retired later to New Jersey.

Marshmallows, hungry beds, and 80s families, oh my! @shaunduke@wandering.shop @Princejvstin@wandering.shop + Beth Cato join forces to talk about 1985’s The Stuff! Together, they explore the film’s bonkers plot, unpack the real meaning of The Stuff, have fun talking about whiskey, and much more!

Happy October! I've queued up 40 spooky/horror podcast episodes, starting with one on the history of the first movie #Monsterdon is doing this month (I love its reference to Diabolique; I saw that at the AFI Silver in DC years ago). Will add alt- text this morning when I'm at keyboard.

I shared the Gorgo ad sheet with Authorized Novelizations podcast (linking to the archive.org page), because they covered the novelization in September! Note, the novelization inserts a lot of stuff into the book. https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/authorized/gorgo-by-carson-bingham-w-tjrFD_HLTWS/ #Monsterdon #Gorgo1961
If you want credit, klu9, I'd be happy to provide your Monsterdon handle to their Patreon.

@harmoniousanger@zeroes.ca Coincidentally, yesterday I listened to this podcast episode from 2023 which talked about horror working so well when doing its own unexplained thing, while lovingly reviewing an indie Iranian vampire flick. *The Best Little Horror House in Philly*: "A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night (2014) With We Heard About Pluto" #Monsterdon

@Lazarou@mastodon.social I am reminded of that graveside scene a few weeks ago with the locals saying that cursed dead girl doesn't belong in our village and the rich guy sneers at them all! But I can't remember its name or the actor's name right now, alas. So many movies, so little memory. #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #TheTombOfLigeia1964 But with the fox hunt, we're on to The Omen II, right?

@ohiofi@mastodon.social If someone invites me to a murder party at a haunted house, I will not accept. If someone dares me to stay overnight in a creepy mansion for money, and I'm REALLY hard up, I will at the very least pack a flashlight and other handy gear. #monsterdon

@RachelThornSub@famichiki.jp Maybe his light sensitivity was psychosomatic? And now that they're back at the haunted mansion, he needs to wear them again?
