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. There are forums for sports, casual chat and video games as well. 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).

Why the hell isn't this thread already made? shokked heyo

Thread purpose: To discuss the workings of the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society, more specifically, their activities regarding the adaptations of Lovecraft's novels to film.

http://cthulhulives.org/

I myself JUST saw (and LOVED) their film "The Call of Cthulhu" (2005), which perfectly imitated the silent films of the 1920s, and is now available on DVD.

They are also working on an adaptation of The Whisperer in the Darkness, which seems as though it will be released later this year.

$20 says that if the petition to give Guillemero Del Toro's adaptation of "At the Mountains of Madness" the green light fails, then these guys will make that movie, too.

That's an easy question to answer: because you didn't make a topic for this until a few moments ago. tongue-1

I'm not well versed in H.P. Lovecraft so my posting in this topic may be limited...that is, after this post. tongue-2

Understandable, I'm just now getting interested in his works. I plan on heading out tomorrow to find a good compilation.

Something to avoid, it sounds like. I think I saw that movie up for instant viewing on Netflix (Call of Cthulhu, mentioned above, is also available for instant viewing).

I've just gone out and bought a collection of his short stories. Three stories in, this is good stuff. Call of Cthulhu itself isn't until the books last quarter, though... sadlyicon
