John Carpenter will host Master of Monsters, a four-movie marathon of Toho Studios' Kaiju films featuring epic monster mayhem.
Godzilla Day is coming up, and Shout TV has invited horror legend John Carpenter to the party. Carpenter will host a four-film marathon of kaiju classics on the streaming platform. November 3 is the anniversary of the Japanese release of Gojira, alias Godzilla, King of the Monsters, the giant monster movie start started it all - and it has recently been designated Godzilla Day, the occasion to celebrate all things enormous, radioactive, and city-ravaging.
For the occasion, longtime Godzilla fan John Carpenter, who recently returned to the director's chair for Suburban Screams, will host Masters of Monsters, a hand-selected four-movie marathon of Toho Studios monster mayhem. It will air on the free streaming platform starting at 3 p.m. EST on November 3, just one of the scheduled Godzilla Day festivities, which also includes new merchandise, a Pluto TV marathon, and tickets going on sale for the latest Godzilla movie, Godzilla Minus One.
What Are John Carpenter's Picks for 'Masters of Monsters'? The marathon will begin with 1954's Gojira, the movie that introduced the world to Godzilla and kicked off a whole genre of rubber-suited stuntpeople trashing model cities that continues to delight audiences to this day. More serious-minded than the subsequent films of the series, Gojira is a somewhat sober meditation on the atomic horror that was unleashed on Japan by the nuclear bomb at the end of World War II.
Masters of Monsters will begin at 3 p.m. EST on Shout TV. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates, and watch the trailer for Masters of Monsters below. Godzilla Minus One Release Date December 1, 2023 Director Takashi Yamazaki Cast Ryûnosuke Kamiki, Minami Hamabe, Yûki Yamada, Sakura Andō Rating PG-13 Genres Action, Adventure, Drama Writers Takashi Yamazaki
