This Sunday at 9pm Eastern on , the weekly monster movie watch party! Another foray into the world of Hammer Horror as Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing seek out a murderer who turns their victims to stone. It can only be... THE GORGON (1965)!

Apparently it's basically a vampire film but with a medusa because why not?

It's available on Tubi or you can download it from Archive.org right over here: archive.org/details/the-gorgon

See you Sunday!

@Taweret Ah, I'll add that in a bit

@CactuarJoe @Taweret I have consolidated all of your awesome #Monsterdon posts into the #WatchPartyCalendar

I love this silly movie 🐍 and wonder if it was put on this week's ballot because: #YearOfTheSnake ? 😆

Happy belated Chinese New Year 😁 1/29/25 = 4723 🐍

@SesameSquirrel @CactuarJoe @Taweret

talking about snakes... how does one propose a movie for the poll? Because *Sssssss (1973)* would definitely nail this theme :ff14_afk:

@nemesis @SesameSquirrel @CactuarJoe @Taweret You could edit your post to add #Monsterdon and also tag @Taweret. But it is kinder to first check if it is available on ~free resources (Internet Archive, YouTube, Hoopla library app, etc.).

@nemesis @SesameSquirrel @CactuarJoe @Taweret and if it is available on them, to include those links, to save Taweret time.

Sunday. In Chicago it's at 8pm; adjust according to your province's time zone.

Despite the weak monster, the film convinces with its dense, eerie atmosphere with impressive Hammer-typical backdrops, fog and lighting effects. The fictional German village of “Vandorf” was created with elaborate studio backdrops. (found in #SwitchTVON)
