It all started with the Dracula movies last October which are legitimately real estate movies, but every monster movie where the monster is localized to some specific place has a shady real estate transaction at its core.
Food of the gods? Selling the real estate where the god food flows
Little shop of horrors? Overcoming bad location for a flower shop
Clash of the titans? Real estate agent neglected to mention that the old guy's coliseum was linked to a scale model in heaven where the gods play out their schemes
First men in the moon? Escape earth to escape mortgage payments

(don't worry. the regular weekly polls will return in November)
*Sunday, Oct 12, 2025, 8PM CT (1AM Monday UTC) *
This week:
The Hunger (1983)
"John (David Bowie) is the lover of the gorgeous immortal vampire Miriam (Catherine Deneuve), and he's been led to believe that he'll live forever, too. Unfortunately, he quickly deteriorates into a horrible living death, and Miriam seeks a new companion. She soon sets her sights on Sarah (Susan Sarandon), a lovely young scientist, who quickly falls under Miriam's spell. However, Sarah doesn't warm up to the concept of vampirism easily, leading to conflict with Miriam.."

A quick note to refugees from #bluesky. Every Sunday at this time, a group of people gathers under the hashtag #monsterdon to watch monster movies of yore. This week, we watch Fright Night. Follow the hashtag if you want to join, and @Taweret as the (likely) alien mind behind the initiative
next week - the Hunger

@Taweret yayy! sexy queer vampires! Basically what my wife is watching on her tablet with True Blood.

Oh wait and then the skeleton bat explodes and then is sucked away to an alternate universe. Presumably where it will menace other teenagers as... Skeleton Bat.
The other teenagers will be like humanoid slug people though, with little eyestalk ears. And also robots.
Dear Venture Capitalists of Monsterdon, please give me 100 million dollars to make this movie...
I award Fright Night 3 out of 5 exploding burning melting bloody vampires. It was simultaneously the worst and best film ever made.
The best character was the conflicted actor who decided to play his role to save the day; he was real main character.
The second best character was the Evil Bisexual Sweater Vampire who collected clocks and teenagers.
The practical effects were neat, and carefully used. The movie felt really long though and extremely cringe in parts.
The third best character was the milfy mom who was nonchalant about things movie moms are normally upset about, but very concerned about nightmares and a lack of hot cocoa.
The fourth best character was the cop who decided he didn't want to deal with this shit, which is a mood.
The nominal main boy and girl were mostly there to have a nominal main boy and girl. The metalhead nerd was a little more likable, actually, even if he was annoying.

I love a zero chemistry ending
But then... oh no the window is open! is something wrong?
No, they decide to make out more. Then some spooky glowing eyes glare at them through the window.
Then credits. The closing music is very 80s and I like it.

Are they setting up a sequel?

Weird. This movie didn't have "stuntpeople" it had "stuntpersons". I guess they were still working out gender neutral titles back then. #monsterdon
Fortunately the writing is terrible. #monsterdon
