@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…

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

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon the most jarring jump cut yet

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

What exactly happened to Van Helsing? #monsterdon

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

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

Shoot the dead things! Shoot them! #Monsterdon

Yeah I find terrible taxidermy terrifying too #Monsterdon

I bet that fireball in your hand will work real wonders against Dracula too

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Now they are *all* mad at you

#Monsterdon

god there are so many gifable moments in this taxidermy room #monsterdon

Was that a lightning strike over the sound of a rooster crowing?

#Monsterdon

Count Dooku > Count Dracula there I said it #Monsterdon

@north I was going to joke saying the animals were his pets that came with him in the coffins but now I'm actually pretty sure they are in fact his undead animal pets #monsterdon

#monsterdon oh great, more taxidermy

Years later Sam Raimi would actually make this scene work. #Monsterdon #Dracula1970

Dracula's widows peak looking like a widows Himalayas #monsterdon

OWL INTENSIFIES! #monsterdon

lol you could pull so many great gifs out of just this scene

#monsterdon

the goat is my favorite one I think

#Monsterdon

HA HA HA oh man, the stagehand shaking the owl at the camera deserves an Oscar :D #Monsterdon

Kinski went for that lady's neck waaayyyy too happily...

#monsterdon

We’re going to find out Van Helsing was the one playing that damned flute. #Monsterdon

I’ve tracked two changes of color on Van Helsing’s goatee.

#Monsterdon

is that a taxidermy COW #Monsterdon

"...okay, we're going to flash the lights, and you all look surprised ..... never mind, we'll fix it with zooms."

#Monsterdon #CountDracula

Oh no! Taxidermy! #monsterdon

Stuffed animals CC: Wassssup! #monsterdon

Maybe narcolepsy isn't a great disease to have if you're fighting undead ancient evils. #Monsterdon

look, all this dust on the floor. lord this man needs to hire some help. #monsterdon

They're raiding Dracula's crypt and Johnny's got the table lamp from Van Helsing's study. #Monsterdon

This is no human concrete floor. #Monsterdon #Dracula1970

Chaos reigns!
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

I'm just laughing at the zooming now.

#Monsterdon
#CountDracula1970

Moonshadow, moonshadow. #Monsterdon

zoooooooomers i am zoooomer. shaking animals! zoooooooom!

#monsterdon

after this i'm going to relisten to the bad taxidermy episode of the magnus archives to get the taste of this movie out #Monsterdon

In terrifying STUFF-O-VISION (crash zooms on taxidermy animals) #monsterdon

Hold on, gonna arm wrestle myself real quick. Damn, passed out. Did I win? #monsterdon

Don't worry, it's just Cobweb Fox.

#Monsterdon #CountDracula

That is some *strong* moonlight.

#Monsterdon

At this point, I think Van Helsing is the antagonist, and Dracula is just misunderstood and maybe needs rehab.

#Monsterdon

That was some unforgivable day-for-night.

#monsterdon

@Lazarou And the sound effects guys ... SUPER over-achievers

#monsterdon

@SnoopJ Only two eternities to go....

#Monsterdon

A commercial just showed some generic hero in a pinkish tube and I didn't know if I was looking at a colon or esophagus. I'd almost rather have political ads. #Monsterdon

@wohali #Monsterdon “Fools! No necklace has the rizz power of Christopher Lee!!”

Odd Job scarfin' it up now. You got somethings under that scarf to hide? #monsterdon

Dr. Van Snore-sing.

#monsterdon

The tired eepy strikes again #monsterdon

Um Hellsing you okay dude? You constipated or something?
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970 Van Helsing has a moment: You are strong enough. You are good enough, and everybody likes you.
