@moira I've seen a literature professor (the one who did my annotated Dracula copy) argued that the silver connection was made well after the fact, historically it was thought mirrors showed the soul, and since Vampires didn't have one, they didn't appear. #Monsterdon

No no! Absolutely go after him on foot. Bring backup with you. #monsterdon #Blackula

Warehouse identified! It's on!

#Monsterdon
#Blacula

Wow her outfit is so weird and 70s but also feels like it would fit in perfectly in 2024. That purple crop top is powerful.
#Monsterdon #Blacula

"They all look alike" Mamuwalde needs to take out more cops. #monsterdon #Blackula

Not sure how everyone knows the right vampire rules but maybe the mythology is more consistent in a world where Dracula the vampire historically existed. #monsterdon

@moira ooooh this makes a lot of sense

So I wonder if an aluminum mirror would work?

Or a digital camera?

#Monsterdon

Great. Grungy RHPS casts carry through the ages.

#Monsterdon

My dudes, how did you not come prepared with a cross?
#Monsterdon

Was literally in the middle of typing this when the cops called him a slur. *Facepalm* #blacula #Monsterdon

SUN TIMER LET'S GOOO!! #monsterdon #blacula

"No Hammer, please don't hurt him!" may have been sourced from this movie lol
#monsterdon #blacula

that is an adorable little kimono thing, tina. A+ #monsterdon

bro what are you gonna do without your crucifix

#monsterdon

always waiting for a split second for Jackie Brown to appear #Monsterdon

@blogdiva LA I believe

#Monsterdon

Blacula does not have reservations. How will he get a table now?
Oh I guess he's got some rizz.
#Monsterdon #Blacula

"They all look alike" ~ white cop

#monsterdon #blacula

Ah, it's the SENSITIVE cop cam -_-; #Monsterdon

you know all interior decorators look alike

#monsterdon #blacula

INTERIOR DECORATOR BOBBY?!?! Is that you?! #blacula #Monsterdon

@jonny and that means there won't be a new cop vampire 👍 #monsterdon

he's a _vampire_ hon, cops aside, he's gonna kill some people, it's part of the gig

#blackula #monsterdon

It occurs to me that Blacula has figured an awful lot out about the 20th century while only spending a few days in it. No culture shock? #monsterdon #blacula

don't shoot him, you'll just make him mad. #monsterdon

Girl, Tina is still mad y'all are gonna arrest her boyfriend. #blacula #Monsterdon

The actors really emote in this one, huh.

#monsterdon

Oh, he doesn't eat pork! Classy. #Monsterdon

Should have lead with that crucifix, dude! #monsterdon

All the cops wear motorcyle helmets but the bikes were not in the budget. #Monsterdon

LA Cops being massively homophobic while on patrol.....

#monsterdon

of course, all the cops are white and blonde in 19770s whatever this is. San Fran?

#Monsterdon
#Blacula

Cops using slurs?

This movie is so unrealistic

#monsterdon

The little guy I made is watching me watch Blacula #monsterdon

VAMP SLAP #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe same

#Monsterdon

That's some _prime_ wokka-chikka wokka-chikka in the soundtrack.

#monsterdon

This movie rules actually. Loved the tense conversation between the doctor and Blacula. And the music Augh

#Monsterdon

this chase music though omg :blobfoxheadphones:

#monsterdon #blacula

hey, i think our man has got it. #monsterdon

@diazona @Canageek @lytta No, geometric means just power law increase, not faster than power law #monsterdon

I'm here for any movie that has wokitcha-wokitcha. :D #Monsterdon

@diazona @lytta Ah, I thought they were different rates of growth! Thank you #Monsterdon

Good work figuring out that the vampire is the weird guy who habitually wears a cape.

#monsterdon

Can't you smell what the Skillet got cooking? Not really. #monsterdon

Lol, ACAB Blackula!

#monsterdon

"We need some hot music for Blacula. Especially the drums. But what could the drummer do to give us a unique sound?"

"Sixteens on the hats?"

"Oh, my god. That's genius!"

#monsterdon

Lol he ordered a bloody Mary 😂 no blood in that one, you better hope their recipe doesn't call for garlic!
#Monsterdon #blacula

When Skillet says he has something really groovy, you believe it.

#monsterdon

Oooooo, the doctor is putting it all together!
#blacula #Monsterdon

@Canageek @lytta I just looked it up and apparently geometric growth just means exponential growth, according to Wikipedia, so in that sense I think he was using it right

#Monsterdon

He's having flash flashbacks #Monsterdon

Why did LA cops dress so Fash/Kinky in those days?
Oh right...

#monsterdon

he is a straaaaaaange dude

you can say that again

#monsterdon #blacula

@chirpbirb ENHANCE BLACULA #monsterdon #blacula

Librarian guide the BLACK guy to the BLACK ARTS & OCCULT section and asks, you're gonna be here for a while?

and we're supposed to throw our heads back and laugh.

#Monsterdon
#Blacula

I love Skillet. RIP Nancy, the photographer. :(
Skillet is gonna be upset when he finds out. #blacula #Monsterdon

Skillet please calm down you’re not getting laid. #monsterdon

Skillet is the best

#Monsterdon

Hey hey! No use of the bad F-word please. We don't fucking do that here science man.
#Monsterdon #Blacula

@brooke also wondering why he knows what a Bloody Mary is

#Monsterdon

@jonny @apLundell In Bram Stoker's Dracula (book), native earth was in coffins. #Blacula #Monsterdon

Oh he's got a BIG skillet does he

or that's what he _says_ anyway

#blackula #monsterdon #what

Skillet knows some shit is up. And also he wants that cape. #Monsterdon

Detective Malthus over here #monsterdon

Is the band prescient or what?

"Make it a Bloody Mary."

"Black Arts."

#Monsterdon #Blacula

right; vampires are so hard to capture on film, that's why he's so blurry

#monsterdon #blacula

Oh shit, is the doctor gonna straight up call out his sister's boyfriend for being a vampire? #blacula #Monsterdon

That's what I do when I see a crucifix and sunlight too tbh #monsterdon

coffins are elusive?

#blackula #monsterdon

'70s coats are amazing. I had some great ones when I was young.
#Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial Three so far! "Star Trek actors grow geometrically!" #monsterdon

@lytta I believe it actually is, yeah

#Monsterdon

camera person please focus in on blacula more

#monsterdon #blacula

Blacula's closest just one black tux and cape combo set after another. #monsterdon

So, playing with the cop uh?
#monsterdon

Cause of death: the sun #monsterdon #Blacula

@moira @lytta 𝑛ᵥₐₘₚᵢᵣₑₛ∈ℕ #monsterdon

uh-oh what happened to Denny?

#Monsterdon
#Blacula

@moira "Well, we can't ignore what the world calls the *black arts*, can we?" -- #Blacula #Monsterdon

"Hahahaha. Draculas are ridiculous... Unless?"
#Monsterdon #Blacula

Not watching,but loving the #Monsterdon conversation.

"Make it a Bloody Mary" Ar Ar Ar Ar. #monsterdon #Blackula

Back to the band. And another on-point lyric.

#monsterdon

BLOODY MARY AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR

#blackula #monsterdon

Oh honey, I feel the same way when someone points a cross at me. #monsterdon #blacula

@rwhe Yeah, the actor was immediately recognizable (Elisha Cook Jr.) #monsterdon

that cut to the new club was so sharp and so different in audio tonality i legit thought it was a cut to commercial

#blackula #monsterdon

Pretty calm reaction to seeing a vampire, I must say.

"Mass unemployment, starting with me."

#monsterdon

@rwhe so was Dr. Thomas! He played Captain Varley in TNG 2x11 "Contagion"

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "I love you"? Really, girl? Blacula's not the only one with relationship issues.

aw juanita jones :( re-murdered by the cross #monsterdon

When the vampire cabbie is running toward the camera, she's out of focus until about 4 inches from the camera. That was a choice you could make, and they made it. #monsterdon #blacula

Note to self: waking up from the dead, you'll be very thirsty
#Monsterdon #blacula

@lytta yes - geometric progressions are real and different to exponential

#blackula #monsterdon

"Flood the city with cops" is pretty much the default response. #monsterdon

#monsterdon a Vampdemic!

@davesdogmaggie
The natural way to dig would be without sharp angles, but movie grave-digging always has 90-degree angles.

#Monsterdon
#Blacula

@chirpbirb Now their models are at PS3 level of geometry. #monsterdon #blacula

The lady who plays Juanita was REALLY giving her all as a vampire; an excellent acting job, imo. #blacula #Monsterdon
