Fright Club hosted a live watch party for The Activated Man (2023) on Labor Day evening, Monday, starting at 10 PM ET, streaming the film across YouTube and Tubi. Participants noted Tony Todd's presence and a recurring fedora or trenchcoat motif in the movie and chat. Several viewers described strong emotional reactions, with some saying the film made them cry or that its themes about loss hit too close to home; one attendee mentioned losing two dogs, two cats, and a father between 2020 and 2024. Other commentary during the stream ranged from surreal humor about the film's imagery to comparisons of the movie's hallucination sequences to schizophrenia. Fright Club welcomed first-time watchers who said they preferred going in with little prior knowledge, and the event included lightside remarks about locations such as The Last Bookstore in Los Angeles. The watch party combined affectionate fandom for Tony Todd with candid conversation about grief and unsettling visuals among attendees.

I'm here for #TheActivatedMan with #FrightClub! This is a first time watch for me; other than a glance at the poster, I know nothing about it - my favorite way to watch a movie!
