Hello, everyone! This is our official announcement of dates! Image ID will be under the cut, but first, our rules:

No AI. For any reason. No stealing other peoples' work. Collaboration is welcome--the mods will even be collaborating on a few things. This is about community and having fun!

If you need to send us a direct message, send it to @theinvisiblemenace. This is the only blog that we will be sending and receiving direct messages with. If you need to send us an ask, send it to this blog (@universalmonstersweek). This is the only blog we will be answering asks about this from.

Only stuff shared on Tumblr/sent to us will be reblogged/posted. If you send an ask/submit a link to our askbox, we will post it. If you want us to post a link to your work for you, just send a message/ask and we can.

Tag things properly. "Creator chose not to use archive warnings" counts as tagging properly.

Tag Tumblr posts with universal monsters week 2025 or universal monsters week (or some other variation similar). These are the main tags we're tracking for this, but if you forget it/it doesn't show up right (we're all human, and Tumblr is Tumblr) we do still follow the Universal Monsters tags.

Additionally, while the official dates we've set aside are October 1st through October 7th and October 25th through October 31st, it's still unofficially running through the whole month. This means that during the month of October, we'll still be checking tags/answering asks/etc, but the two weeks set aside are the ones that we'll be most involved.

All this being said, do feel free to submit things after October! We will still be checking tags/asks/messages, just less frequently.

Again, if you have any questions, feel free to send us a dm (over at @theinvisiblemenace) or an ask over here!

More information will be coming soon.

He is bandaged on his face and hands, wearing a fake nose, and has tufts of hair peaking through the top of his head. He is wearing a suit. He has his hands on his face like he’s frustrated and has a book open in front of him. The text reads: Me when I remember that in order for my WIPs to get done I have to actually work on them

Yeah so by the way Universal Monsters Week (including Hammer Horror) is definitely happening, take this first attempt for our announcement of dates for the announcement that it'll be real. Dates determined and coming soon, I just have to get the Creature to cooperate first

[universalmonstersweek]

We’ll be announcing dates and other relevant information as soon as I can stop the fight with making these guys transparent soon, so keep an eye out!

[universalmonstersweek]

Also, you don’t have to fill out the form to participate! We’re mostly just trying to gauge which time works best for people, and we were curious about what kind of content people were making (in part so we can purposely try to accommodate prompts a little)! Thank you to everyone who’s filled it out already, but no pressure d:)

Hey, everyone! We've finished our initial in-depth interest form, just to get a feel for when we should try to schedule things and what kinds of things to accommodate for.
