#Monsterdon

@lxskllr @sezduck @MirrorAyako

I do need to get through TOS.
It's a bit different to how #monsterdon runs but I appreciate it exists. I'll do my best to join when I can ^^

@ryan @alexisbushnell You wanted to talk to people involved in #monsterdon on how they do what they do what they do to build community, Ryan and a few others I know are the best place to start. ^^

@ryan man, i'm very likely to miss #Monsterdon on sunday, but this has so many hot people in it and is also featured in The Celluloid Closet. if i'm still too out of it from surgery, i'll watch it later in the week

hope you're ready #monsterdon

@Taweret

Unfortunately the film is not included on my streamers here in Mexico.

But a couple *do* have the half-hour UK/Canada #horror #anthology TV series from 1997-2000 hosted by #TerenceStamp (S1) & #DavidBowie (S2)

this October we're doing 80's horror

(don't worry. the regular weekly polls will return in November)

*Sunday, Oct 12, 2025, 8PM CT (1AM Monday UTC) *

This week:

The Hunger (1983)

"John (David Bowie) is the lover of the gorgeous immortal vampire Miriam (Catherine Deneuve), and he's been led to believe that he'll live forever, too. Unfortunately, he quickly deteriorates into a horrible living death, and Miriam seeks a new companion. She soon sets her sights on Sarah (Susan Sarandon), a lovely young scientist, who quickly falls under Miriam's spell. However, Sarah doesn't warm up to the concept of vampirism easily, leading to conflict with Miriam.."

@apLundell @Taweret If not, the consolation prize is you might become a #Monsterdon movie

@growfediverse @heapy FWIW #Monsterdon happens at the same time every week, 9 PM US Eastern time. All the details are posted (repeatedly) with the MonsterdonAlert hashtag during the week leading up to it.

THIS SUNDAY at 9pm eastern (that's 1am monday UTC) it's #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party! Come watch a goofy horror movie with the nerds of the Fediverse!

This week we're watching THE HUNGER (1983) a very gay flick about a vampire love triangle between Catherine Denevue, David Bowie, and Susan Sarandon. Sounds good to me :D

The flick's available on Tubi with ads over here: https://tubitv.com/movies/100045171/the-hunger

Aaaand you can download from Archive.org over here: https://archive.org/details/the-hunger-1983-catherine-deneuve-david-bowie-susan-sarandon ...But the only version I could find is pretty terrible so I'd definitely recommend the Tubi version this time :/

Anyway, see you this Sunday!

@heapy I've been enjoying these two:

#SolarpunkSundays - each week they pick a different Solarpunk theme to share about, like specific writing prompts or inspirational material to ponder, and sometimes just cool sustainability concepts. Envision a better world, together

#Monsterdon as best i can tell they plan when to watch old monster movies together and quip about the movie

#monsterdon

So, I missed the opportunity to comment on this during the movie, but it has bugged me since I watched Fright Night with y'all. He (the vamp) has 46,000 clocks that all go off at dawn.. well... wouldn't it be better to set the clocks to 15 minutes or 30 minutes before dawn? But also, that is a hell of a lot of clocks to change the chime time on, which is necessary, since sunrise changes every day.. VERY SILLY.

Here's the complete #Monsterdon collection, you might find some inspiration there (warning: many, if not most, of those movies are not good movies per se. But the bad ones can be fun for a group to make fun of.)

@RachelThornSub @JigmeDatse FWIW while @Taweret is an awesome person to follow, you definitely don't have to in order to be involved in #Monsterdon. All the announcements and info one needs to participate get posted to the MonsterdonAlert hashtag.

I guess the one exception-ish is that people will post links to various sources for the movie during the week. Typically Tubi and the Internet Archive, and maybe others like Pluto and YouTube depending on where it's available. Those posts don't typically go to MonsterdonAlert, so if you want to see them, you have to check on #Monsterdon. But you don't strictly have to do that; the official announcements will have the movie title and year so you can find it yourself. Plus there's always the stream on https://miru.miyaku.media that you could watch.

@RachelThornSub@famichiki.jp I'm sure someone mentioned, but if you're not already @Taweret@timeloop.cafe is the "main" organizer, but the advice regarding #MonsterdonAlert being for announcements, and #Monsterdon is also good, because there's others involved, and occasionally I've seen someone else "running" it. I think it's 21:00 EST/EDT in terms of time on Sunday night (but you live in the future...)
