Some of my favorite stills from The Monster Club (1981), this week’s pick for the Creepshow Consortium!

MONSTERS RULE OKAY

Please Mr. Price let me join your club 🥹

#movies #filmsky #horrormovies

Art for the movie The Monster Club. Various monsters sit at tables and dance at a club

Two male characters talk to each other, on the left a human author and on the right,a vampire. An eerie green wall with portraits is behind them.

A werewolf in glasses is cheesin with his arms around the human author, another monster on the other side of the author

A bunch of monsters dance with a band playing on a stage in the background. A disco ball is above them and tinsel lines the back of the stage.

For the people who have guessed that I and @chucktingle.bsky.social are the same person, here are the two of us in the same place at the same time. Two buckaroos proving love is real!

I’m in a movie-watching group and I *FINALLY* got caught up this week. Last 3 watches for the group:

🎥 The Killer Condom (1996)
🎥 God Told Me To (1976)
🎥 C.H.U.D. (1984)

I choose to believe the fan theory that C.H.U.D. and Home Alone are in the same universe 🫡

Absolutely gutted to discover today is not, in fact, Friday. It’s only fucking Thursday y’all 💀😭

Mel @mjdiscotheque.bsky.social · 10d

Watching this while I prep my nails for my nail appt - I can’t get over this movie poster 😍

The movie poster for “The Black Cat” (1934)

Mel @mjdiscotheque.bsky.social · 10d

Did some exploring today ✌️

A picture of me, a red-headed woman wearing black pants, a black t shirt, and a baseball bat in front of a building with art drawn on the windows. The art is stylized eyes in many colors.

Going through old photos and man, I miss my Ariel-red hair 🥹 I also still have this signed photo where LeVar Burton spelled my name wrong 🤣

None of these are in focus, but that doesn’t diminish how much I love this set I have in which someone was trying to get a good photo of their kitten.

Set of eight black and white photos, each one a blurry image of some part of a dark colored shorthaired kitten.

Last obviously watch at your own risk but skip to the end if you wanna see some fun cinematic art, I love this fuck you from the Director to the audience after a (mostly) serious-toned movie

It’s here! Happy #LetterboxdFriday #filmsky peeps. Here are my #LastFourWatched - it should look eerily familiar as I only watched 1 movie over the past week 😭 it’s been busy round here.

I did enjoy Occult and that ending scene was something 🫡

My last four watched on Letterboxd from left to right: Occult, The Slumber Party Massacre, The Halloween Tree, The Wolf Man

I just finished writing up my latest cushion design. It's part of a marine life set I'm working on. As ever I added an "Easter egg" quote on the reverse for visitors to discover. I hope you like it!

Cushion with motif of two fish and seaweed

Two cushions on a sofa, one with motif of two fish and seaweed, the other with a prawn and seahorse.

Reverse of cushion with the quote: There is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.
