*lmao* @ Nancy. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who made the connection. And that story is "The Fog," isn't it Nancy? The beastie being brought up to the surface by the horn? Gods I read that when I was a kid.
Clowncar, please please please keep the M. Mondays coming?
And it wasn't even Monday, Eric. My dark secret is I do a monster monday when I can't think of anything interesting to say (a common occurrence on a Monday).
You know, D'Ancy, Cloverfield musta referenced at least 10 old monster movies. I expected to be really disappointed by it, but ended up liking it a lot. Except for the first 10 minutes. You can safely fast forward through the thing until the monster rears its head, and then start watching. I'm glad everyone had a good time (except J, obviously) at your casa. Sorry to have missed it, but I had baseball to watch and overpriced beer to drink. It's a burden, really.
Hey Irr, I love that story too. Bradbury (The Fog and A Sound of Thunder specifically) was the first writer who I read and thought "that's good writing." Before reading him it was all just storytelling.

It's been too long since the last Monster Monday.
Somehow finding these clips here is more rewarding than going to Youtube and digging myself.
*cough cough* Cloverfield *cough cough*
Hey! That lighthouse scene is from a Ray Bradbury story!
P.S. Good seeing Hux and the Girlios today! At least SOMEone stops when going through town. ;-)
And Jack's mouth is feeling better now, but he couldn't talk for hours. :-(

CC, I've still got a massive crush on the old boy. If there were a writer I strive to emulate it's Hisself.
