OH SNAP! i realized am not watching BLACULA but am watching SCREAM BLACULA SCREAM.
what the hell. does anybody else also got this mixed up?!?!
BTW in my family we didn't practice vodoun, we practiced LucumΓ, better known as santerΓa
Vampires value privacy and believe in ACAB.
Given our current option, i would vote vampire party
#monsterdon @k8eb: "meanwhile, in the graveyard, a different kind of getting boned!"
me: "I'm not writing that."
GUUUUUUUUURL! THERE AIN'T NO DICK THAT GOOD TO GO INTO THAT HAUNTED HOUSE! especially with that damn Sharpton perm.
the Pam Grier SCREAM BLACULA SCREAM is misidentified as BLACULA at Youtube. it's actually the sequel. no wonder i was confused about the cast listing.
LMAO am watching the wrong movie. awwesome batΓ‘ inspired music though.
the necklace in question
Love that this is the sort of club a guy in a cloak can walk into and somehow blend in
The Whiteness standing in the way of finding the killer of Black and Queer victims, this film is telling us it all!
"Maybe it was the Panthers?"
Serious side eye
let it be known, this watching & sitting with dead bodies is bullshit. throw my dead body in the crematorium and spread my ashes on 100x35 miles of Puerto Rican land.
WHY DO THEY KEEP OPENING THE DOORS TO THIS DAMN HOUSE?!?!
so many dashikis
Starting work at the exclusive resort next week, going to try out "THIS WILL BE YOUR INGLORIOUS TOMB" as an opener with the guests...
We never got to the bottom of that Blacula/Skillet beef though, did we?
#monsterdon Off-screen, as these two force an antique padlock with a crowbar by whacking it a couple of times, the Lock Picking Layer pinches the bridge of his nose and heaves a disappointed sigh
Looks like the cameraman couldn't find the zoom lens, so he just ran really fast in for the close-up. #Monsterdon
@jonny Aye, filing that under "genuinely entertaining movie"
Taxi Lady is giving this movie her all
Wont take by force and wont return
Blacula understands consent better than most frat boys
#monsterdon
didch'alll see the shout outs to Nina Simone and Miles Davis?
#monsterdon You have to hand it to Wardrobe, that purple deep hood, short gloves, and purple shoe outfit is striking.
sooooooooo much paneling! it is definitely the 1970s.
Flamboyant 70s queers, this film has it all!
Party at Drac's house!
#monsterdon
YAY! Lisa!
my name is Liza with a Z but my nickname ONLY IN SPANISH is Lisa.
Lisa gonna fuck up this Al Sharpton Willis asshole.
"A vampire like myself.......but er, not exactly like me...." racist Dracula
Another #Monsterdon is in the coffin!
Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!
Tonight, right off the bat, there were some .... high stakes, including:
- Vampire Funk!
- An actual plot!
- Sam "The Hook" Coroner
- A warehouse full of vampires, and fire!

#monsterdon I like the irony of the NO SMOKING sign
Underground Chemical Plant number one was such a hit they made a sequel. #Monsterdon
Stephen Kingβs βSleepwalkersβ did not get this right. #Monsterdon #Blacula
Flame suit stunts are the best stunts.
#monsterdon OMG those are self-igniting oil lamps, who would store those in a bone-dry warehouse and what kind of insurance company would cover that application
#Monsterdon spotted the Wilhelm Scream
#monsterdon These cue-ball police helmets are absolutely hilarious. They look fine from dead on but as soon as you see them from the side or the back or even a slightly elevated angle all the gravitas evaporates, and it becomes impossible to take them seriously in this movie about Blacula that is also named Blacula
#monsterdon Don't get in the telephone booth! That's how you get attacked by the werewolf of Washington!! Noooooooowoooooo
"Ladies, some day a man wearing a cloak will come into your life and tell you that you're his long lost princess and let me tell you......he's a LIAR!"
i am loving how we are getting absolutely zero 'learning to be a vampire' and Blacula just knows how the whole show goes immediately #monsterdon
"the sexiness helps the photos develop....it's Science"
motherfucker turned into a bat. and y'all wanna make like those winged mammals? they could be the next Blacula!
The 70s were so fucking....70s that Blacula doesnt look out of place in a cape.
@lytta I'm sure there was a "Vampire Taxi Lady" hanging around Studio 54
#monsterdon The bite went down "two or three inches"? That's, like... 5.08 to 7.62 cm. Isn't that almost the depth all the way down to the spine??
"Associate" aww c'mon, they were definitely a couple, they deserve to have that acknowledged
#monsterdon "What have I done? What have I become?? Where am I? What year is this? ...where is my cloak?"
that Metro Goldwyn Mayer Lion has been quite absent from our #monsterdon endeavors
ok but seriously this shot had me goin #monsterdon
@SnoopJ βThis will be your inglorious tomb!β reminds me of βThey will make cemeteries their cathedrals and the cities will be your tombsβ from Demons (1985)
#Monsterdon
wow i am so sad for him. wow that was really freaking good, not a b-movie at all just straight up good #monsterdon
who else is watching the wrong movie?
Once again siding with the 'monster' again as he flings white cops around a chemical plant like they were dolls
White cop only gets upset when another white cop dies, all the other victims were nothing...
This 1970s version of Google Maps needs work
vampire trivia: the reason mirrors and film - black and white film traditionally - don't interact is because silver, the old basis of both mirrors and silver-nitrate film, is a pure metal, semi-holy, and refuses to interact with the evil of vampirism.
#Monsterdon that kind of response to the crucifix is amusingly accurate these days. PTSD. LOL.
1970's BEYONCΓ IS A VAMPIRE NOW!!!
#monsterdon THE UNDEAD ATTACKS
why is he green tho, that's what I'd like to know
"Do you what I have to do you to get you permission to dig up a grave?............that wasn't rhetorical, I haven't a clue"
My god the lapels on the dude in the background are taking off!
"Perhaps he wasn't dead?"
Straight in with that, not even going to skirt around the whole "undead" thing
It's the cloak.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECK! HE GOT 1970s BEYONCΓ!!!!!
this movie could be William Marshall saying anything for 90 minutes and it would be the best movie of all time #monsterdon
such is the gravitas of William Marshall that he can actually pull off that outfit
really casual funk that vampire cape.
#Monsterdon finally! Get the butchers knife first. Good young lady. Good.
Taxi Lady was too good for this Earth
I think this might be the best movie, quality wise, we have ever watched gents.
I would be perfectly comfortable with my tax dollars going to a Scientific Investigation Division. I want them just as armed as the FBI but just as nerdy as NIST.
it's always a yt dude naming us, especially the vampires and monsters. damn.
#monsterdon hahahaha ok back to bed
uh-oh... young Al Sharpton has no mirrow reflection.
"i don't mind being a vampire and shit but a mans got to see his face!"
#Monsterdon those collars were barely starting to go out of style by the time I could remember anything. Giant. Fucking. Collars. LOL
the movie is actually called
SCREAM
Blacula
SCREAM
and it has some very badass 1970 psychadelic intro music
uh-oh, young Al Sharpton summoned the wrong power. he got Blacula'ed
They really need to bring back intro credits with funky music. We used to be a country, a proper country.
#monsterdon THEY SAID THE TITLE OF THE MOVIE
Don't trust Whitey
Not even at dinner
PAM GRIER!!!!!!
#Monsterdon
#Blacula
Having never seen this one (and with the not-great trailer) I was worried this would be pretty bad in some ways, and the homophobia is accurate but depressing, but yeah, no, this is a good little period vampire film, straight up.
Good job everybody and thanks to @Taweret for hosting as always
So... the guy who demands an end to slavery, gives good champagne to his friends, seeks consent (well, except when he needs to slake his bloodthirst, but hey, who's perfect?)... this is the villain?
That was lots of fun, modulo the 4 slurs (3 by cops). We're going to be hard pressed to find a monster film with better music. Thanks again to @Taweret for hosting! #monsterdon #Blackula
Ok, but why did the coroner have a really badly done hook hand?
What did that add?
I was sure it was going to be a plot point at some point.
#monsterdon Whoah what the heck, that dΓ©nouement was a little rushed!
@k8eb: "honestly, not as enjoyable as Attack of the Crab People or whatever, but far superior to the last few."
And that's a wreck! Thank you again, @Taweret@octodon.social, this was a delight as always!!
Blacula just wanted to free the slaves and be with his wife, such a cruel world
#monsterdon
".......maggots.......and then 'The End' "
Classic Monsterdon abrupt ending, no ocean though.
That bat's the size of a flying fox #monsterdon
"please go home. there is a vampire"
#monsterdon That room needs wallpaper to differentiate the wall from the furniture
So did Blacula kill a bunch of people with capes for the aesthetics, or do some vampires just spontaneously generate capes
Chekhov's self-igniting grease lamps
Thomas got his PhD... in kicking vampire ass
I think the camera might have been a Graflex Super Speed Graphic? Clever of the filmmakers to avoid using an SLR in a vampire movie. #Monsterdon #Blacula
You know how i know this is the 70s?
At the first sign of danger the cop didnt shoot first, shoot again, reload, see an acron and keep shooting
@rberlim@hachyderm.io it's the Sunnydale lifestyle
