The Last Man on Earth - Mastodon watch party this Sunday evening! (links to full vampire movie in post)
Cross-posted from ![email protected]. I usually post these announcements on ![email protected] but I'm posting this here because it's about VAMPIRES!!?!! (specifically it's an adaptation of Matheson's "I Am Legend")
It is 1968, and Dr. Robert Morgan lives in a world where everyone else has been infected by a plague that has turned them into undead, vampiric creatures that cannot stand sunlight, fear mirrors, and are repelled by garlic.

Although the film was not considered a success upon its release, it later gained a more favorable reputation as a classic of the genre.[11] As of February 2025, The Last Man on Earth holds an 80% rating at the film review aggregator Web site Rotten Tomatoes from 30 reviews.[12] Phil Hall of Film Threat called The Last Man on Earth "the best Vincent Price movie ever made".[11]
Among the less favorable reviews, Steve Biodrowski of Cinefantastique felt the film was "hampered by an obviously low budget and some poorly recorded, post-production dubbing that creates an amateurish feel, undermining the power of its story",[13] while Jonathan Rosenbaum of the Chicago Reader remarked, "Some would consider this version better than the 1971 remake with Charlton Heston, The Omega Man, but that isn't much of an achievement".

The Last Man on Earth (1964) is the movie for this Sunday's "monsterdon" watch party over on Mastodon, our fediverse sibling!
Just start watching that movie this Sunday, October 18 at 9pm ET / 8pm CT / 6pm PT which is 1am Monday UTC
and follow #monsterdon over on mastodon for live text commentary. For example, you can follow that hashtag here: https://mastodon.social/tags/monsterdon
I usually open two web browser windows side-by-side on a computer. But you could follow the mastodon commentary on a phone app while watching the movie on TV or something.
