Folks, it is about an hour until , the weekly monster movie watch party. Have a hard week? Come and make fun of a bad monster movie with us. It's therapeutic.

This week we're watching THE MONOLITH MONSTERS (1957), which appears to be about rocks that try to take over a small town. Well, you can't take local government for granite.

The movie's on Tubi, or you can download from Archive.org over here: archive.org/details/the-monoli

See you there!

These people are rather reasonable for a movie. I'm kind of disappointed no one has tried to shoot the rocks yet. 😂

For #monsterdon tonight, we’re watching “The Monolith Monsters” (1957). I know nothing about this movie. I’d never even heard of it before @4 8 15 16 23 42 put it on the poll.

I do, however, know a thing or two about monoliths. For instance, I know that, contrary to popular belief, they only make a “DUNN dunn DUNN dunn DUNN dunn DUNN dunn” noise when in captivity. In their natural environment, when attracting prey, they make more of an “eeeeeeEEEEEeeeEEEEEeeeeeeeeeEEEE-AAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAaaaaaAaaaAaaaAaAAAAAT."
