"I don't speak English. Speak slowly." Continues to speak in perfect english with advanced handling of grammar and vocabulary. #Monsterdon
That zoom after Count Dracula's name π―
It's like Kung Fu Saturday and #monsterdon blended. Monster movie with Hong-Kong quality dubbing.
@Jason844 seriously, that sounds like the TRUE horror tonight. #Monsterdon
@Elleaster
OK I can do without that train horn screech
Walking around town with a duck under your arm. #monsterdon
They're seeing off the English explorer from the other movie. See you at the center of the earth! #Monsterdon
starring also, this man's mutton chops. wow. #monsterdon
#Monsterdon Loving the collage of multinational names, set to pipe organ.
that guy hates that bell so much #monsterdon
mise en scene, this is actually a cooking show. what kind of dinner would dracula make... #monsterdon

Organ music to hurt your ears
#monsterdon
what a great castle. honestly i would be satisfied with a movie of Dramatique Castle Shots With Gothic Musique. #monsterdon
Iβm going to visit Count Dracula.
DRAMATIC CLOSEUP
I was disappointed there was no DUN DUN DUUUUUNNN!! #Monsterdon
Time to count some Draculas
@ramsey Oh, that's not in the book. That's how I interpret the fixed-stare, finger-clenching scene and cut to next scene with him in a wheelchair and I *think* he mentioned a small stroke. #CountDracula #Monsterdon
@brooke Disgusting movie-Denethor!!! You couldn't pay me to go near him when he's eating. Blech. #LOTR #Monsterdon
@jonny @moira @whknott you're watching goat boy on SNL?! #Monsterdon
@whknott @jonny @moira I hear the director may have some kinda goat vs boat confusion... people are saying... #Monsterdon
@diazona @kcarr2015 I worry about duck draculas! #Monsterdon
@jonny it's like the had full access to all the animatronic rejects from the Disneyland haunted house it was fantastic! #Monsterdon
@otheorange_tag @kcarr2015 Gonzo, of course, would give a fully proper dramatic buildup to biting Jonathan (played by Kermit) only to realize that he doesn't have any teeth
#monsterdon okay mystery solved- it looks like Damien Thomas was the Fallon in Twins of Evil, whereas this Fallon was played by Fred Williams.
@_L1vY_ He fancy. #Monsterdon
@jonny Tragically, this movie cut the part from the book where Mina uses her excellent clerical skills to research house sale records to figure out and tell the guys where Dracula's holed up. There could have been a records room montage! OTOH, then the guys cut her out of the rest of the action and treat her like she's brainless, so, plus/minus. #Monsterdon #CountDracula
@bk1e @Configures @overholt maybe this was a goat vs boat? sitch? #Monsterdon
@ramsey @Crazypedia After this summer, I think I can imagine! #monsterdon
@lytta In the book, both Dracula and Lord Godalming (Lucy's fiancee in the book) bribe officials to get what they want. Corruption on both sides. although that's not the tone in the book; the protagonists are glad they have Godalming on their side. #Monsterdon #CountDracula
@ShiitakeToast @Crazypedia And if that mosquito is the size of an eagle. #Monsterdon
@Configures Ah, okay. That makes sense. Itβs been a while since I read the book, and I didnβt make that connection tonight, since the characters were rarely commenting on these things. #Monsterdon
@ramsey Don't trust Van Helsing with your valuables, including your peeps. King Laugh, indeed. #Monsterdon #CountDracula
@kcarr2015 oh well, at least they had a ... waait for it... Concrete plan?! --dad #Monsterdon
So that movie I mentioned is The Last Voyage Of The Demeter (2023). Itβs streaming on Paramount+ and a few other services.
#Monsterdon
@jonny I interpreted this story to be about an immigrant who tried to move into a nice neighborhood, only to be driven out by hate and bigotry. #Monsterdon
@_L1vY_ one one concrete block ah ah ah! #SomeoneElseStartedIt #Monsterdon
Funny how he put his name on his coffin like it was a bagged lunch in the office fridge. #Monsterdon
@paco βYour mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!β #Monsterdon
@RamenCatholic and the rest of him! #Bam --dad #Monsterdon
@iaintshootinmis Heβs a Time Lord. #Monsterdon
Thank you for another fun #Monsterdon @Taweret! π Looking forward to this month's line up
@SnoopJ I missed the goat in the Animals Attack scene! There was so much going on. #CountDracula #Monsterdon
@moira @jchaven
π₯₯ Thank YOU so much, Solarbird!
Eye look forward to joining you all for the NEXT #Monsterdon! π₯₯
Watch Christopher Lee turn into a bug-eyed mummy! #monsterdon
@brooke Thatβs an interesting visual to go along with staking a vampire through the heart. π #Monsterdon
@jstatepost @jchaven Weekly monster (mostly) movie watch, always at 6pm Cascadian/Pacific time Sunday evenings. We vote (most of the time) for what movie will be next, but for October it's all Dracula movies this year. Follow #MonsterdonAlert for updates!
so nice of ol' Vlad to put his name on his coffin, so everyone knows where to find it #monsterdon
@justabean we're just going to whisper thank you? #Monsterdon
@jchaven
π₯₯ Can someone pleez tell me how this #Monsterdon thing works?
K? TKS. π₯₯
@detritus Seriously team the one steev here is talking about is good shit.
her little urks and gurgles as he stakes her #monsterdon
@catzilla wait who?
"You can do nothing!"
He can set his floor on fire, whatcha think of that?! #monsterdon
Meanwhile, at Hammer...
Dracula A.D. 72
With Dracula and Ven Helsing's grandson who just happens to look exactly like Peter Cushing

After much faffing about the professor and his team of vampire slayers found ol' Drac and killed him with fire
THE END
You know I never appreciated how strongly inspired Richard O'Brien must have been by the professor and Renfield from this #Monsterdon when creating Dr. Scott and Rocky Horror respectively. Thanks for another fun and insightful one @Taweret !
@adhdeanasl The futures so bright I gotta wear sha.... #poof nevermind. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon when in doubt, set it on fire
this usually works out well in monsterdon fims
@himbovoorhees 100% see that #monsterdon
If you're reading this, you're at the tail end of a long stream of posts on the feed about #Monsterdon, a fediverse community movie-watching event. This week we watched COUNT DRACULA (1970).
See the post at the top of this thread for more info:
@ShiitakeToast oooh I like Coraline though, I gotta watch that one again
@randy_s I'm seeing live cows?! flung? #monsterdon

God damn what a gender #Monsterdon
nosferatu = dracula but he's bald and has depression
#Monsterdon *drops a rock on a horse*
So nothing happened and killing a vampire is easy. Got it.
Thanks all for joining tonight! This was a terrible Dracula but it doesnβt matter, because itβs about the friends we make along the fedi! #monsterdon
@himbovoorhees hey drac, buddy... you okay?!... #Monsterdon
Hopefully the next Draculas will be better than this one. Thanks @Taweret for hosting! #monsterdon
@jmelesky Yes, same as in the book (Dracula is driver). #CountDracula #Monsterdon
So, that's it? Not a big Dracula vs White boys showdown? What a lame ending!
#monsterdon
Oh god, Tubi just started directly in with Coraline. Not today Satan. I can't deal with eye horror. Too much trauma. #monsterdon.
Well I can't find the toot, but "goth party or funeral" reply: How can we tell?! #monsterdon
Yup that was the guy from Indiana Jones #monsterdon
Oh come on, ending like that? Thatβs too easy. #monsterdon
#Monsterdon π§ β°οΈ π¦ π± π
That giant rock bounced off that sweet horse's head! Be careful with your rocks, dudes!
Tubi immediately launches into something called "Dan Curtis' Dracula" #monsterdon
@annathepiper @strangefour if they'd gone through a bunch of other dracula players and ended up on lugosi, that would've honestly been kinda cool
@lytta I played a Malkavian in 'Vampire: The Dark Ages' who was basically a 'Dollar Store Disney Princess' & she basically kept trying to do this. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon and this reminds me of denethor and the tomato
@srol Donkey Kong logic #monsterdon
#Monsterdon this reminds me of pee-wee hermann's character in the buffy the vampire slayer movie
So we learned something useful: when you're staking vampires, it's best to wear a face shield #monsterdon
FIN. Play us out Mr Octopus.
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970
@neia
And a zombie or two.
"This was a Dracula indeed!"
#Monsterdon
Thank you fine scary season #Monsterdon

β¦Well, I'm out of popcorn and Wasabi still wants butt pats. Thanks @Taweret for kicking off #Mastoween!
@lorgonumputz I think that is part of the standard lore? Though I think it's that they are flammable in sunlight?
worst dracula to date?
Hereβs blood in your eye, Quincy!
#Monsterdon
Gee I wonder when they switched over to the mask
@neia A small dental disorder is not grounds for being spiked! #Monsterdon
@strangefour absolutely! I really should keep a few Statler and Waldorf screenshots handy myself
hang on there are some important moments in this movie that must be preserved #monsterdon
FINE #monsterdon
Yeah I guess fires super effective
