@Taweret

Ooooh, End of the World was originally a double feature with Laserblast!

It's the weaker of the two films...

@mwl @Taweret Weaker than Laserblast? Shocking.

@Taweret Judging from old posters, it looks like "Super Beast" was usually on a double bill with "Daughters of Satan"

See, men like sexy nearly-naked witches, but women like mutant cannibals with sharp teeth.

@Taweret

  • "Beginning of the End" looks like grasshoppers? with giant teeth?

  • "Giant from the Unknown" has a very traditional poster of a Sasquatch menacing a woman.

  • "End of the World" still has a great poster. I hope the movie can live up to it.

@Taweret

  • "The Vampire" is another generic horror poster. The vampire is a bit more beastly than normal, though. Almost a werewolf.

  • "Sting of Death" has an interesting poster. Looks like it was done in pencil? Anyway, it clearly shows that the bad guy is a man with a jellyfish where his head should be.

@apLundell @Taweret based on what i can remember from END OF THE WORLD, it does not
@Taweret If Superbeast wins, I hope Miru plays some Rob Zombie during the preshow
@Taweret Vote Beginning of the End, it has Peter Graves and some of the worst giant insect effects known to man! :D #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe @Taweret
Bert I. Gordon directing, the man who gave us Attack of the Puppet People, Earth vs The Spider, and Tormented!

It probably has B movie actors you recognize. It's guaranteed to have uh...to uh...it's guaranteed to be a movie.

@CactuarJoe @Taweret I should have read the comments before I voted! 

@CactuarJoe @Taweret

Oh! That's the giant grasshoppers attacking Chicago movie!

Peter Graves saved us from the giant grasshoppers, and his brother, James Arness saved us from giant ants in "Them"!

@klu9 @Taweret @monsterdon

Boosting it for an informed decision πŸ˜†

@Taweret I'm almost scared to vote! Last night changed me. I have never...

@kshernandez @Taweret I lost interest last night. Was distracted by megabonk.

The End of the World looks promising, but I bet it sucks.

The Sting of Death looks super-dumb, might have a winner there

@allanb @Taweret I lost interest too and my God it was the hardest #Monsterdon I've ever had. LOL

My face the whole time.

@Taweret I'm watching trailers first this time.

@Taweret

"The End of the World" may be terrible, but I least I will get to watch Christopher Lee being cheesy.

@TerryHancock @Taweret

We watched Starship Invasions in #MondayActionMovie 2 months ago. Also with Christopher Lee, also scifi, also 1977. It was *not* worth it :(

@Taweret continuing my streak of voting for "Beginning of the End" and "End of the World", because those titles easily combine into "Beginning of the End of the World".
@Taweret you can't call a film superbeast and not expect the monsterdon community up to take it as a challenge

@Taweret

End of the World?

Seriously, y'all are gluttons for punishment!

#monsterdon

@rebeld @Taweret lol co-sign. but it's been a few years since i've watched it so who knows! and my expectations are low #monsterdon

@Taweret

Well, I guess I have to be there now. I campaigned for this win. I may yet come to regret it.
