"He can set himself above the law"

ooh, topical >.<

#Monsterdon

ACTING!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon His name is

BAT-MAAAAAAN

NANA NANA NANA NANA

loving the Mediterranean vibe of this gothic London graveyard...are the vines good this year in Highgate?

#monsterdon

“Perhaps it is not too late for me to act.”

Van Helsing, man, it *is* too late. If you think you can do something, then before Lucy died was the time to do it.

#Monsterdon

Man I wish I had nights like that too lady 🧛

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Dr. Helsing, you can just go ahead and say it's a vampire. Even in 1970, we all knew that going in.

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

#Monsterdon There was a bat in the bedroom! Rabies shots for everyone.

Dracula's going after the same woman from a well-to-do family repeatedly instead of going to an orphanage or a matchstick factory. Is it a matter of flavor? A clean and healthy living kick?

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Rome is a country wat?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Lucy is simple minded. The neighbor kids called her feeble. Little Miss Feeble-Minded.

#Monsterdon harpsichord is the star of the film now

So, Lucy was kind of a like a juice box, but for vampires.

#Monsterdon

"perhaps it is not too late for me to act"

I dunno dude, she's dead? That feels pretty late to me.

#Monsterdon

The bat is truly the best part of this movie. #Monsterdon

Yeah I have nights like that too lady :blobsleepless:

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Love the bat action shadow vampire fleeing whatever.
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

*Frame freezes*

Here at Vampire elevators we have been designing elevators for the undeads coffins since-

also, where's Quincey Morris? this is so faithful to the book in some ways but no Quincey Morris. how could you cut the cowboy?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon don't forget to fully put away your vampire before closing

at least Lucy's still just on her second blue nightgown. She might have another packed but hasn't had the energy to change #monsterdon

also i guess that vampire feeding orgasm was a little death AND a big one

"It is not too late for me to act."

You're telling me, buddy.

#Monsterdon

It is not too late for me to act...in a better film. #Monsterdon

Maybe making direct a adaptation of Dracula is a bad idea. Great as a book but the pacing as a movie is kinda slow and dull.
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

#monsterdon The ADR makes me think of the dentists office

Lucy looks like she's about to have a wet dream. (do women have wet dreams?)
#monsterdon

See! See! From behind! Like I -------what!?

#monsterdon

oh Drac is uh, biting Lucy again, I guess. c-cool?

#Monsterdon

@nev "I'm actually impressed by how they condensed and altered the plot to get all the characters in the same place at the same time while remaining relatively true to the story" It's implausible that Harker was somehow brought all the way from Transylvania to Dr. Seward's asylum in the British countryside (Who arranged it? Who PAID for it?), but it does well in moving things along and getting folks together a lot quicker. Shame they spoiled it a bit. #Monsterdon #CountDracula

I sense romantic sparks between Lucy's nostrils and that patch of wall

#Monsterdon

The feed on the #monsterdon hashtag is running about 30+ minutes behind for me so it's super confused. And I get lots of 500 errors when I try posting. Definitely seems like a Fediverse thing not going smoothly

I keep thinking the floral pattern on the sheets is a series of blood spatters.

#monsterdon

Lucy in the skies with diamonds! #Monsterdon

Wait I knew that scene looked familiar

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

The room service in this asylum is terrible. Look at all the blood on those sheets.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Here’s hoping they got the Rh typing correct or Lucy's gonna have a bad time.

i think the director had a thing for nostrils, and i could really do without it, honestly. #monsterdon

Thought the little embroidered flowers were blood stains at first.

#Monsterdon #CountDracula

From the novel:
“I didn’t know that she was here till she spoke; and she didn’t look the same. I don’t care for the pale people; I like them with lots of blood in them, and hers had all seemed to have run out. I didn’t think of it at the time; but when she went away I began to think, and it made me mad to know that He had been taking the life out of her.” I could feel that the rest quivered, as I did; but we remained otherwise still. “So when He came to-night I was ready for Him. I saw the mist stealing in, and I grabbed it tight. I had heard that madmen have unnatural strength; and as I knew I was a madman—at times anyhow—I resolved to use my power. Ay, and He felt it too, for He had to come out of the mist to struggle with me. I held tight; and I thought I was going to win, for I didn’t mean Him to take any more of her life, till I saw His eyes. They burned into me, and my strength became like water. He slipped through it, and when I tried to cling to Him, He raised me up and flung me down. There was a red cloud before me, and a noise like thunder, and the mist seemed to steal away under the door.”
#monsterdon

Does Lucy get a gray streak in her hair at this point?

#Monsterdon
#CountDracula1970

@SnoopJ @apLundell Same here

#Monsterdon

I'll bet Lucy's feet are cold. Someone get her a duvet!

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

@iaintshootinmis@digitaldarkage.cc The cat trap is working!

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

You know what? I'm gonna say it.

I miss Radu.

#monsterdon #subspecies

Dracula, you can take that flute and shove it somewhere. #Monsterdon

sounded so much like he said, "I'm afraid you're not allowed in this part of the ass." #monsterdon

Doing that rich person thing where he gets transfusions of young hottie blood... pretty sus #monsterdon

Renfield was very lightweight. That’s how he survived that fall. Hollow bones. #Monsterdon

Great dummy work there.
Bet alot of people are mad they didn't just throw Kinski out the window.
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

There was really no need to call LUCY so many times. It’s not like she was trying to escape. #monsterdon

I wish I looked that put together when I hand someone an Alka-Seltzer.
#Monsterdon

lol defenestrated #Monsterdon

"who's there?"
luuuucccyyyyy
#monsterdon

Worst knock knock joke delivery ever ...

#Monsterdon #CountDracula

when's the kool-aid man gonna burst through a wall to refill her blood supply?

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

Nice that they're still doing Lucy's makeup while she's catatonic. #Monsterdon

We don't have to watch long shots of Renfield staring into the distance anymore?

YAY

#monsterdon

I hope Dracula has a good med plan for his minions.#monsterdon

Lucy's nostrils doing all the acting there....

#monsterdon

Renfield jumping out the window was the most Pythonesque thing to happen in the film so far #monsterdon

Shit he landed on the funny bone that's gonna hurt #monsterdon

Oh how the Renfield has fallen..

#Monsterdon
#CountDracula1970

Oh poor Renfield, Dracula turned him into a floppy dummy in midair! D: #Monsterdon

this is a massive fucking clinic lol

#monsterdon

Dracula has lived so long and stuffed all of his exotic pets.
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

And now, Renfield will be thrown from a window. #MontyPython

#monsterdon

#monsterdon She needs more liver and onions!

#Monsterdon 🧛 ⚰️ 🦇 😱 💞

You'd think they would have put a guard on Jonathan or something?

Ooh! ✅ Ominous Taxidermy Props #Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

Okay, that Renfield dummy being thrown from a window was kind of hilarious.

#Monsterdon #CountDracula

Hey these bars swing out this whole time?
#monsterdon

Drac had the classic Ikea problem. New coffin arrived so late that he passed out on the floor before finishing assembly.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon That blasted piccolo is back to serenade some rather poor taxidermy.

#Monsterdon mmmm biscuits

okay NOW I can tell he's getting younger. because his hair noticeably changed color lmao #monsterdon

LLUUUUCYYYYY, you don't have to open the window! #Monsterdon

Transylvanian Nesting Dracula's. Will put him in a box, nest to another box. Inside a box. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Lucy seems to be enjoying herself. Was any hint of that in the book at all? Been a long time since I read it.

Well she does have quite a long neck. I guess I could see why Dracula was drawn to her. #monsterdon

Dracula visits a taxedermy shop?
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

We’re one hour in and not a lot has happened #monsterdon

@Taweret I may have to do a Herzog binge after Spooky Season. #Monsterdon @jonny

Oh, they're gonna crate Drac for travel! Just like Blacula! #Monsterdon

You write a post and 35 toots go down the TL

Damn #Monsterdon

The original Rocket Raccoon!

#Monsterdon #CountDracula

We know that Dracula is a villain because his polycule consists of 3 hot wives who don't date each other #monsterdon

More interesting wall zooms.
#Monsterdon is brought to you this evening by Sherwin Williams. The place for all your interior and exterior wall finishing needs!

@Elleaster Well, if the movie would pick up the pace...

#monsterdon

Matt Barry, fancy seeing you here this far away from NeEw YoOork CItaay #monsterdon

this film is putting me to sleep damn it

not fair

#monsterdon

This guy really gives off Matt Berry vibes #monsterdon

lets just watch kinski do things. its better than the rest of the movie

#monsterdon

DEAR MISTER MORRIS I DON'T WANT TO ALARM YOU STOP THERE HAS BEEN A SMALL INCIDENT WITH MISS LUCY STOP SHE WAS WANDERING OUTSIDE AT NIGHT AND A SHADOW DISAPPEARED NEXT TO HER AND SHE FELL OVER STOP WE NEED YOUR BLOOD BECAUSE SHE LOST SOME STOP #monsterdon

#Monsterdon These male doctors apparently keep a variety of more reasonable women's nightgowns in storage.

There's a paper for that! TLDR: the odds are terrible. I'd skip the unmatched blood.

The hazards of blood transfusion in historical perspective

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2962447/

#Monsterdon
#CountDracula1970

I wonder what the castle is up to right now

#Monsterdon

@trixter RIGHT!? He's even doing a silly voice.
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

#Monsterdon so the vampire drains her blood, they give her a transfusion, rinse, repeat

this seems like a sustainable relationship if they're into it

@r343l consensus seems to be, before

#Monsterdon

van helsing's explanation is very lacking lol

"I can't explain why I don't believe you"

#monsterdon
