Welcome to MONSTERLAND FORUMS! We are a casual and friendly online community of movie fans who like to talk about giant monsters, horror and sci-fi in cinema, on television and on Blu Ray/DVD.

For those of you who like making art, writing stories and creating videos, our community includes a forum for these submissions as well. Check out our main index page and other board forums! Anyone is welcome to join our community!

MONSTERLAND FORUMS was created on January 29, 2006 for the purpose of giving fans of giant monster films and other sci-fi/horror movies a friendly online meeting place to discuss all of their favorite films and other things of interest like video gaming and sports.

MONSTERLAND FORUMS has 180,000 posts. This online community, while over twelve years old, is currently no longer as active as the early years(between 2007-2009). Still, we have a half dozen members who continue to participate here.

For those who enjoy giant monster movies be sure to check out THE MEG, opening in theaters on August 10th, 2018. This film, based on the 1997 book "Meg", written by Steve Alten, features an enormous, 75 foot long Megalodon shark! Other giant monster movies that we fans can look forward to: GODZILLA KING OF THE MONSTERS(in 2019) and GODZILLA VS KONG in 2020! PACIFIC RIM-UPRISING(2018), the sequel to 2013's "Pacific Rim", is about to release to Ultra 4k and Blu Ray. In these movies, 250 foot tall robots defend Earth from an assault of other worldly giant monsters(kaiju).

A 43 year old Japanese man, despite pleas not to, donned scuba gear and dived into the dirty, swirling waters of the recent Tohoku district tsunami in Japan(following the earthquake), swimming through the churning water until he had found, and rescued, both his wife and mother.

My God. That's just incredible, and incredibly sad. It's comforting to know that individuals like that still exist. But it's just horrible to think of how quickly his act of heroism will be forgotten by the general public. That widow needs to be taken care of as a sign of respect for the husband's sacrifice.

A Cartersville, Georgia man has auctioned off his prized, fully restored 1966 Chevy Nova for $62,000. The funds have been donated by this fellow to his church which will give the money to various families in need who have been displaced from their homes by recent(April) tornadoes in north Georgia.

In Baltimore, MD a young woman named Janai Stafford boarded an MTA bus and moments later sprang into action when the bus driver abruptly keeled over the steering wheel of the bus and fell unconscious. The young woman grabbed the steering wheel of the bus(which was beginning a downhill descent) and, placing her shoe over the driver's shoe on the brake, managed to brake the vehicle and pull it over onto the side of the road. Passengers on the bus called 911 and EMTs arrived on the scene, taking the unsconscious bus driver to a local hospital. No injuries were reported among any of the bus' passengers. Ironically the young woman credited with safely bringing the bus to a stop doesn't have a drivers license. The bus driver was later reported to have been treated and released at a local hospital and the MTA is reviewing the incident: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/woman-without-driver-license-saves-bus-driver-passes-180035163.html

Sometimes animals perform heroic deeds as evidenced by a cat in Russia which kept an abandoned baby warm in the frigid AM temperatures: http://nypost.com/2015/01/15/hero-cat-saves-baby-from-freezing-to-death/

The baby was, after being taken to a hospital, checked out by doctors and is okay.

A fast food worker in Louisville, KY went above and beyond his job description by not only bringing a disabled customer her order inside the restaurant where he works...but also helping her consume her meal: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/trending-now/-fast-food-worker-helps-disabled-patron-in-heartwarming-video-165633994.html

Major kudos to this young man. thumbz up
