@Da_Gut At a certain point the difference is academic

THIS SUNDAY at 9pm eastern (that's 1am UTC) it's #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party! Come watch an atrocious horror flick with the biggest nerds on the Fediverse!This week's movie is VAMPIRE ON BIKINI BEACH (1988) a Direct-to-Video loser about a ghoul stalking the beach belles of California. How dumb is it? It was featured on the USA Network with an introduction by Gilbert Gottfried. That's how dumb it is.Anyway it's free with ads over on Tubi: https://tubitv.com/movies/712244/vampires-on-bikini-beachOr you can download from Archive.org over here: https://archive.org/details/vampires-on-bikini-beachSee you this Sunday!#Horror #Scifi #Movies #Vampire #Cinema #Cinemastodon

Thinking about @moira 's list of improvements for Critters 3 (over here: https://mastodon.murkworks.net/@moira/115483660835128015) and yeah, I agree with all of that.Like, it should still have been about the kids of a recent widower, but the dad should've been more of an aggressive job climber instead of just having a job that forces him to be away a lot, and he should've gotten more scenes with Chett Landlordville the 3rd. Especially a scene near the climax where Dad looks at Chett and goes, "Oh christ, i'm literally THIS GUY D:"Also more than three Critter puppets would've been nice.#Monsterdon

This Sunday at 9pm Eastern (that's 1am Monday UTC) it's #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party! Come watch a goofy monster movie for Halloween!This week we're watching CRITTERS 3 (1991) the third film in a series about insatiably hungry aliens who eat everything they see. They're like if Tribbles and Gremlins had children.The film's available on Tubi for free with ads over here: https://tubitv.com/movies/100001415/critters-3But alas, not available on Archive.org. See you this Sunday!#Movies #Cinema #Cinemastodon #Horror #Scifi

Also I think David Carradine is the most believable Immortal Werewolf in the cast if only because he looks *exactly* as old as he did in Red Zone Cuba, filmed twenty years earlier. #Monsterdon

Stopped at a local bakery to pick up a birthday cake today and I feel like #Monsterdon needs to see the custom cake model they had on display.#cinema #movies #horror

@kinsale42 Woo!

Remember kids, denouement is for losers! If your character arc isn't wrapped up by killing a monster, it's not worth seeing! #Monsterdon

@HippieScubaSteve I saw that movie at a matinee, and as I sat down, a woman shepherding four tweens sat down in front of me. I thought to myself “oh no, she doesn’t know what this movie is.” They made it less than 10 minutes before leaving.

THIS SUNDAY at 9pm Eastern (that's 1am Monday UTC) join us for a special spooky season #MONSTERDON, the weekly monster movie watch party! Come join the rest of the Fediverse as we watch a goofy monster movie!This week we're watching PUMPKINHEAD (1988), a cult classic. A man driven by vengeance resurrects the dead to menace some teen campers! Apparently a bit of a slasher, may want to wear a poncho for this one.The flick's available free with ads on Tubi over here: https://tubitv.com/movies/306943/pumpkinheadOr you can download from Archive.org over here: https://archive.org/details/pumpkinhead-1989See you this Sunday! #Movies #Cinema #Cinemastodon #Horror #Scifi #Halloween

@knowmadd Start with his early 90s run. Last of the Mohicans, The Age of Innocence, and In the Name of the Father.

@xerozohar Thelma and Louise could resist the lure of the Ring, I'm certain.

Yeah, they could've trimmed about twenty minutes from the first hour or so of the movie and it would've flowed much better, but the third act was *AWESOME* #Monsterdon

@famousblueben I guess I knew already that he got into sports talk radio and podcasting, but I don’t think I ever listened to one of his shows.

This Sunday at 9pm Eastern (that's 1 am Monday UTC) it's #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party! Come and watch a goofy monster movie with the rest of the Fediverse!This week we're watching FRIGHT NIGHT (1985), a cult classic about a man who is convinced his neighbor is a vampire! Hm, I rather liked Rear Window, is Perry Mason in this one, too?

@trixter Bert I. Gordon: I know filmmakers who use metaphor, and they're all cowards. #Monsterdon

Also while looking for this film I realized I'd been mixing it up with Village of the Giants (1965), which is ALSO a Bert I. Gordon movie about people growing huge. Just like The Amazing Colossal Man (1957). And War of the Colossal Beast (1958). And The Cyclops (1957). And-Uh....D'you think maybe...? #monsterdon

@HippieScubaSteve I saw this in the theater with some friends from my dorm. One friend Kit was sitting between me and my other friend Billy; during several scenes, she grabbed our arms and squeezed tightly!

@CactuarJoe Seconded!
