this movie is wasting kinski

#monsterdon

Y'all I am super tired tonight and this movie is not helping me *not* fall asleep on the couch.

#monsterdon

Starting to get a Snidely Whiplash Look to You There count

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

@aprilfollies doctor VON scott!

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

#monsterdon The drunk people, Kinski... The good parts of this movie live in the margins

Maybe this is the deal?

#Monsterdon I finally realized- this is the origin story of Dr. Scott!!

Is it me or does the volume on the "background" music keep increasing whenever the choir is on screen? It seems weird since I'm not sure they are the same song? Or if they are not synched up right...

#Monsterdon

Do you think the count has a regular coffin and a travel coffin? ⚰️

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970 You know, this might be more entertaining if it was done with puppets, Gerry Anderson style.

From the stuffed cell to the choir. this movie has everything!
#monsterdon

Universe, I miss Bram Stoker's Dracula at this point.

Why in the hell isn't *that* in my collection?

#monsterdon

Mostly I'm impressed how this movie manages to make a vampire attack look boring. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Dracula going home from the docks to fill his coffin with oreos and pedialyte for the voyage #monsterdon

Other than that how was the opera? #Monsterdon #Dracula1970

OMG #monsterdon I did not realize y'all were watching Klaus Kinski

Somebody put some stake launchers on Van Helsing's wheelchair. #monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow Great Scott! #Monsterdon

Mrs Lincoln, will you have your regular seat? #Monsterdon
Wasn't this lady supposed to be a broke typist supporting Jonathan's law practice?

Did I just see Klaus take a swipe down Mina’s ample bosom?
#Monsterdon

@cheribaker
You and your uncultured phrasing.
#monsterdon

dracula killed president lincoln exactly the same way

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

She wasn't the last victim of that performance.

#Monsterdon #CountDracula

why is the sound mixing for this movie so TERRIBLE. the choir seems to be breaking something #monsterdon

"Delivering a note or letter" FINALLY #Bingo!

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

#monsterdon This movie is all a big character assassination

#Monsterdon heyyyy dracula is younger now :D

Wait what? Did the actor playing Van Hellsing just refuse to walk anymore? Sure being in a chair with a comfy blanket on set sounds nice, but why?
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Having to fight questionable taxidermy should be a staple of vampire stories. And they should be around as animated as these.
#monsterdon #CountDracula1970

abe lincoln in the next box. (too soon?) #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Dracula uses Oil of Oy Vey to look younger.

y'know that whole sequence was basically superfirends logic

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

damn this concert sucks tho

#monsterdon

OK, so he's now in a wheelchair
#monsterdon

The animal “battle” is still happening? What? #monsterdon

@diazona #Monsterdon … only one leaves! 😜

#Monsterdon that's some serious taxidermy

Only you can prevent bad taxidermy sequences. Only you.
#Monsterdon

We came here to discuss Eddie. #Monsterdon #Dracula1970

The limitations of recording microphones of the time is painful :blobcatheadphones:

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

they couldn't afford the rent on his legs anymore so they had to write in a stroke

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

@catzilla "happened", that's rich 😛

#Monsterdon

@wohali@octodon.social I think that’s what he was crying about earlier at his desk?
#monsterdon

Wuh - *slight* stroke ?
#monsterdon

@steggy MUSHROOM MUSHROOM

#Monsterdon

A *slight* stroke?

Also, did it just happen, or did the count have some influence?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🧛 ⚰️ 🦇 😱 💞

Quincy has some unexplained shmudges on his capelet they shouldn't have let that go?

@Haileyeliah was right. These crazy Renfield shots look like Tommy (The Who Pinball Wizard Movie)
#monsterdon

Dracula cares not for strumpets.
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

@aprilfollies Two priests walk into a castle...

#Monsterdon

Everybody keeps mentioning how faithful this is to the book—are there several pages of taxidermy menacing? #Monsterdon

Begone, anemic strumpet! #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe I think Van Helsing was in denial at this point. Thinking also of that shaking fit he has later, staring straight into the camera. #CountDracula #Monsterdon

What t- Okay, sure, let's jump straight from the sanitarium to the choir without any sort of preamble, why not. Not like we want scenes to be interrelated at all. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “We must sanctify this place.” You need a young priest and an old priest…

#monsterdon the most jarring jump cut yet

🎶 HERE'S TO THE GUYS AND GALS WHO LIKE TO FLY
FLYING SO HIGH WITH SOME BAT GUY IN THE SKY 🎶

#Monsterdon

Christmas carolers. I fucking hate Christmas carolers. #Monsterdon

Pearls: the traditional fang blockers

#Monsterdon
#CountDracula1970

It's like someone gave your HS drama club a decent budget, but they gave all the money to the kid who runs the light board because he's the only one who could manage a 4-channel mixer

#monsterdon

What kind of cut was that?

We went from Renfield in a straight jacket to a joyous choir singing.

#Monsterdon

Mina's like "fuck this I'm going out for the night"

#Monsterdon

"Galileo! Galileo!"

#Monsterdon

I would not put my fingers by Klaus' mouth #monsterdon

Movie?

Ummm, movie?

Did you forget something?

Like the *plot*!?

#monsterdon

So I get that the taxidermied animals were coming to life but only based on, like, vibes, because the animals being moved by hands slightly off-camera did not convey this.

#monsterdon

i'm not even wearing an ornate crucifix chain at all times and even i would have tried the power of jesus before that #monsterdon

Fourth act conversion to a musical -- what a bold cinematic vision!

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Men singing jumpscare! #monsterdon

As soon as I made a crack about his goatee, Van Helsing stared me down. Sorry, dude, it ain’t me; it’s makeup. #Monsterdon

ah, the all servo men's academy choir

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

#monsterdon i was strangling her, but then I had to check my do

Kill it man! kill.it! The dikdik turns ominously as Quincy's soulless eyes unwavering as he fires round after round into the already decaying bodies. #monsterdon

...so we have learned that when somebody somewhere (anywhere?) raises a cross to their face it hurts Dracula

I feel like this could be useful

#Monsterdon

Count Dracula's unconvincing taxidermy of horror.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Mina, that’s KlausKinsi, don’t get too close… see, we warned you…

Dracula sporting a full cut and color now. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Now you remember the crucifixes. #monsterdon

This is pretty much how Nastassja Kinski was conceived. #Monsterdon

I'm very into the idea of vampires having a bunch of living dead taxidermy pets, actually #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🧛 ⚰️ 🦇 😱 💞

Why does van Helsing have to add 'do as I say' after telling his servant to do a thing is this an elaborate game of Simon Says?

They were attacked by taxidermy. #Monsterdon

I know I was making fun of the armadillo before, but at least that movie had LIVE GODDAMN ANIMALS #Monsterdon

It's every child's fear of the trophy room

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Gentles and ladymen, the Transylvania Glee Club #monsterdon

#monsterdon Kinski is our safe place

@Beachhart "Vampire Etiquette"

#monsterdon

Count Dracula needs a new taxidermist. These are not well done.

#Monsterdon

Hold on, are these taxidermied animals actually vampire’d animals that are just really good at standing still? Or were they vampire’d and then taxidermied (which just seems unusually mean)? #monsterdon

They used so many zoom lenses they ran out of budget for an animal attack.
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Oh my God the shaking Hawk that was too much for me 🤣

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

one of the fight scenes of all time

#monsterdon

Give 70's Matt Berry Lines #Monsterdon

oh no! the emu attacks! #monsterdon

Really it's just a movie about Dracula discovering men's hair coloring products. #Monsterdon #Dracula1970

What exactly happened to Van Helsing? #monsterdon

what the hell is this

a well-staged scene

what the fuck, cinematographer

where have you been this entire movie?

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

also Drac's dye job is looking spectacular

#Monsterdon

Director is like, "idk, just kill a few minutes or something. You have a gun, right? Use it."

#monsterdon

Count Dracula uses Just For Men™ for hair, moustache, and sideburns #Monsterdon
