I wonder if this uses the "kill the master vampire, all the children die" mythos

#blackula #monsterdon

BAT!! #monsterdon

Johnson gets it.

#Monsterdon #Blacula

hhmnyeah lamps shipped filled with petroleum, what luck #Monsterdon

a+ no notes on the roast #monsterdon

johnson!!!! :drgn_scream_stare:

#monsterdon #blacula

My dude not hesitating a second to molotov a white cop, love it!

#monsterdon

"What the hell is that?"

Chief, you just walked into a *vampire lair.* I hope you cast Mind Blank or Protection from Evil or something because you're about to roll some fuckin' initiative. #Monsterdon

@diazona Exactly! That's been exploited by some writers in the past. Most modern mirrors aren't silver and no modern films are, so if you're playing with this people can - and do - exploit all that for writing mythos goodness.

#blackula #monsterdon

Hope you got a spare cross on you #monsterdon

#monsterdon They're dropping that F bomb rather liberally. Don't love that.

Love the soundtrack, though. Genuinely delightful.

What the hell is that?

It's a sliding door, but that's not important right now.

#Monsterdon

@Crazypedia How does he know what that is? That is a 20th century drink! #Monsterdon

Need a gun that fires stakes #monsterdon

didn't even drain the cop, didn't want any of that nasty pig blood #monsterdon

#monsterdon White helmet car cop? Okay

Ta-Da ... Mamuwalde didn't know about photographic negatives.

#Monsterdon #Blacula

I can't judge her wanting held, I have definitely not always had the best taste in men. Lol #blacula #Monsterdon

"SMACK!" goes the backhand! #Monsterdon

@Lazarou

OMG, the sideye! 😆
#monsterdon

Ohhhh he didn't know to destroy the negatives. I love this movie, it's so damned smart! #Monsterdon

That was a hearty 'movie slap'

#monsterdon

He's trying to isolate you from your friends, that's a red flag....

#monsterdon

Gordon found the invisible man. Now the fun begins. Gonna pull out the garlic and cross.

Hm. Ya know, they say Die Hard is a Christmas movie. I'm thinking Blacula may be an Easter movie.

#Monsterdon

NO SKILLET NOT NOW #Monsterdon

It's hilarious that the main changes to Mamuwalde when he vamps out is that he gets a really hairy face. #Monsterdon

I can't go back to Dark Shadows after this. Barnabas Collins is a poor substitute. #Monsterdon

Bracula really hates Skillet

#monsterdon

I didn't realize that the cop was Gordon Pinsent until his accent started coming through.

#Monsterdon

make it a bloody mary

my man's got jokes

#monsterdon #blacula

“Make it a Bloody Mary!” #Monsterdon

The band's okay. I mean, they're not The Band That Played California Lady, but... #Monsterdon

vampires reproduce geometrically

...you... you mean exponentially...?

#monsterdon #blacula

I wonder how Blacula knows how to be a vampire?

He was trapped in that coffin, right? Since the NIGHT he was bitten?

Since before the advent of photography?

How does he know about sunlight and photographs? #monsterdon

"Vampires multiple geometrically"

Imagining vampire shapes

#monsterdon

Much better slow-mo than last week's WEREWOLF OF WASHINGTON

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon So she's thawing?

#Monsterdon she’s moist.

Turning into a vampire is really hard work! Look at all the sweat!

#Monsterdon #Blacula

I wish I could have that cab-driver-become-vampire energy whenever I wake up in the morning

#monsterdon

Wait WHAT Sam has a hook for a hand!

I kinda love that just as a coincidental detail, but IS it coincidental? Is he gonna do something with that hook? Do we have Chekhov's Hook here?

#Monsterdon

LISA WATCHUDOOIN!!!!

#Monsterdon
#Blacula

He's HOLDING that hook. You can see his hand under his sleeve!

#monsterdon

is the mortician's name actually Mort?

#blackula #monsterdon

@Canageek @jonny I was doing family stuff until a few minutes ago, so I hopped onto @jonny 's stream and skipped to minute 53. Thanks Dr. jonny! #Monsterdon #Blacula

lol, did he have that hook hand in the previous scene?

#monsterdon

i love how the characters are smart in this one!!! like, he knows how to kill a vampire because he was reading literature because he's a person with a brain!!! good writing :3

#monsterdon #blacula

Ha! Vampires are weak to sunlight, holy water, and Shaft's Right Hook :D #Monsterdon

Damn, he has a damn good right hook. #Monsterdon

@amyfou he can dig it

#monsterdon

she's dressed awful cute for grave robbing duty. nice hat. #monsterdon

CONSENT *fist pump* Gotta love seeing it matter!

#Monsterdon #Blacula

Occams Razor, he was alive, buried alive and you've just killed Billy

#monsterdon

I'm kinda grooving on his "You must come to me freely, or not at all. I will not take you by force."

CONSENT IS SEXY. Especially when requested in that _voice_. Daaaaaamn, son.

#Monsterdon

She's gonna have sex with that vampire. #Monsterdon

i will not take you by force and i will not return

blacula understanding consent better than most living people in los angeles

#monsterdon #blacula

One of the mourners is just a hooded warlock? I mean she's working it, but it is the oddest hoodie I've seen.
#Monsterdon #Blacula

#monsterdon Exposition time

@paco well you never asked, so that's on you!!!

#Monsterdon

God Damn, William Marshall, I love him. I would love to listen to an audiobook he read
#monsterdon

she's gotten really cool about mamuwalde

#Monsterdon

The pornstache works every time. #monsterdon

and everyone he bites turns, huh? Vampires are going to be BIG problem in this timeline. #monsterdon #blacula

Uh oh! Photo. #monsterdon

I think the facial hair only appears when he's in hulk mode #monsterdon #Blacula

Bring “solid” back you cowards. #Monsterdon

acab = all cops are blood bags
#Monsterdon #Blacula

@Taweret I wonder if they're going for, like, a Jekyll and Hyde thing there? Where facial hair is only for the evil vampire form

#Monsterdon

Miss, please wear an apron in the darkroom. Some of those chemicals stain, and you ain't gettin it out of that cocktail dress. #monsterdon #blacula

It is such a choice to give him extra facial hair and brows when he's in blood-lust mode, though

#Monsterdon

What kind of cameras were those, back in the 70s? #monsterdon

We refer to them as Polaroid Vampires ... they turn instantly.

#Monsterdon #Blacula

#monsterdon Who invited Blacula in to the dark room?? Did I miss that line? Or can he just waltz in uninvited?

???

He likes the taste of adrenaline flooded blood. That’s why he scares his victims. #Monsterdon

"Where's the big dude with the cape?"

Oh there he is.

#monsterdon

See. I'm a messy eater so I would get blood all over myself
#monsterdon

HER ONLY CRIME WAS TAKING A PHOTO.... CURSED FOREVER

#monsterdon #blacula

Doesn't cracking open the curtain in your darkroom kind of defeat the purpose? #monsterdon

uh-oh, middle aged white cop sees a young black lady in distress.......oh wait, she's got it under control!
lol

#monsterdon

*writing "Skillet" on my list of possible names to level up as a nonbinary* #monsterdon

Now that is dedication, going straight to the dark room from the night club
#monsterdon

Skillet gets shot down, guess he's non-stick #Monsterdon

#monsterdon French Champagne, plastic cork. seems legit.

"One. Strange. Dude."

Reeeeeally :D #Monsterdon

Original working title, "One Strange Dude"

#Monsterdon #Blacula

Champagne guy is proto-Lawrence Fishburne. #monsterdon

"That won't be necessary... to specify that the champagne is French, because you see it's only classified--" #monsterdon

This club is way better than The Bronze, by the way

#Monsterdon

so _dracula_ doesn't drink wine but _blackula_ can drink champagne

possibly from the sheer power of his voice

#blackula #monsterdon

Ladies and gentlemen, the Blacula Sold Gold Dancers! #monsterdon

Wait wait the same guy who attacked her and scared her badly enough to miss work and change her locks just walks into the club to give it back and everything is fine? I dunno, weird things can happen but that is definitely one of them

#Monsterdon

Is a nice young campy gay couple buying Dracula's castle? Good for them.
#Monsterdon #Blacula

#monsterdon Who were those guys? Maytag repairmen?

Holy hell that voice. #monsterdon #Blackula

Okay, so that was the homophobic content that led to later regret on the part of the filmmakers #monsterdon

_Damn_ the voice on that man. That voice is a shot of the finest whiskey.

#Monsterdon

Lol, do they take turns being the lead singer in this band?

#monsterdon

The Hues Corporation
...ruled AM radio with their earworm "Rock the Boat" about a year after this movie. I listened on my state-of-the-art Solid State palm-sized radio.

#Monsterdon
#Blacula

"There he is again," they sing as Blacula finally walks into the musical number scene #monsterdon

A song about a creepy stalker guy, totally putting Tina at ease. #Monsterdon
