Folks, it is about an hour until #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party. If you want to avoid a flood of toots about a goofy horror flick, consider setting up a filter.
If you'd like to join in, this week we're watching THE BAT PEOPLE (1974), which #MST3k fans will recognize as It Lives By Night. It's bad. Watch it with us! :D
You can catch the flick for free on Tubi, right over here: https://tubitv.com/movies/100011938/the-bat-people
See you in an hour!
You got about fifteen minutes left until #Monsterdon takes over your feed with THE BAT PEOPLE (1974). Set up a filter or cue up the movie and get ready to watch along!
Or do something else. Go fishing or something. Climb a tree, punch a clown, it's a big world out there.
TURN OFF THE TV AND LEAVE THE ROOM
(it's for the best, trust me)

Hold still while I hold this rubber bat in my hair, honey. #Monsterdon
"Have you ever thought about what we look like to a bat?"
We look like the bat equivalent of G. Gordon Liddy, I have it on the best authority. #Monsterdon
I appreciate that people in this movie just straight up say how they feel. Why bother with, like, subtlety or characterization when you can just look into the camera and state your feelings. #Monsterdon
