Monster of the Day #3288

Ugh, Monday. And too much stuff to do this week. Howl’s Moving Castle tonight, a local showing of Ghost and Mr Chicken on Wednesday, a Halloween party on Friday, and then the Wolf Man / Invisible Man double bill on Saturday afternoon. Plus traveling to Texas next week for Nov 5th T-Fest. I’m going to need a lot of rest after all that.

    Someone went a little nuts with the gold glitter paint. Was that you, Auric?

    Watched the end of “Cry of the Werewolf” on Movies! yesterday.
    Svengoolie is going to have “Frankenstein meets the Space Monster” on Saturday.

    I’d watched ‘Halloween Costume Knockoff Fails’ on Clownfish TV’s YouTube channel yesterday. The first half is bad knock-off costumes made in China where apparently they fed the English title into Google translate to get a Mandarin title and then translated it back into English with often hilarious results…

    Batman= Dead Parents Hero
    Beetlejuice= Juice Demon
    Minnie Mouse= The Rice is Strange
    Aquaman= Doctor Fish
    Aladdin Genie= Blue Daddy
    Female Pirate= Butt Suprise

    The second half was sexy costumes- aka just take a cute model and put a Mario hat on her and show a lot of skin and call it ‘Sexy Mario’. Not as funny but I laughed my tail off at the first half..

    Jenny Nicholson did one a while ago, “The Halloween Costumes No One Wanted” was the title (I think).

    Talking bad movies on streaming services — apparently that’s where you can find LONE WOLF, the fursuiter slasher movie. Yes, I am serious. It’s a slasher set at a furry con where a crazy killer in a wolf costume (why a wolf? I like them!) runs around chopping up young lovelies in cute fursuits.

    Why do the furries get the slasher movie treatment? Other fandoms have their crazies and fan feuds — when can we expect to see the tale of a mad killer running amok at ComicCon, or invading a Dr. Who or My Little Pony convention? Come on, Hollywood, it’s an untapped vein.

    Thanks! I like the spaghetti costume though. As Jenny said, it’s so generic you have to have what you are written on the costume front so people will know!

  • Gamera977

    I’d watch a Brony or whatever you call the ‘My Little Pony’ fans one. ‘Friendship is DEATH!!! HAHAHA!!!!’

    Jenny Nicholson, who I had been worried about (she hadn’t posted anything in six months), just posted a typically brutal take-down of some musical called Dear Evan Hansen. For some reason her critiques are just far more scathing because she’s so soft-spoken and everything. Anyway, I haven’t really tracked any musicals since Frank Oz’s Little Shop of Horrors, so I hadn’t even heard of this, but the review is well worth watching.

    Well, the Dr Who con one would be pretty short, because the BBC has chased away all the fans.

  • Eric Hinkle

    Maybe you could so one about a crazed fan on the show, furious about the show’s direction, prowling the con center and hotel with his home-made sonic screwdriver to bump off everyone who ‘ruined Who’.

    But then I still want to see a zombie movie where all the authors whose books have been crapped on by Hollywood come back from the grave and head to Tinseltown for some brain munching.

    Given how nasty the fandom gets maybe they can have a writer go mad from the nonstop criticism and stalk the halls, beating complainers to death with a horseshoe.

    She was a guest on a podcast not too long ago. It turns out that her channel had been nominated for a (wait for it)

    (Wait for it)

    (Wait for it)

    Hugo Award.
