I believe Joey on Friends would call that closeup on Van Helsing "Smell the fart acting" #Monsterdon #Dracula1970

Bad news, the rest of the movie is just various people saying “Lucy” loud or softly. #Monsterdon

Wait are we in England? I thought we were in England.

why is Dracula all of a sudden in England

#Monsterdon

Lucy, Lucy, Lucy! I knew something was wrong with that girl I mean who actually dresses like THAT for bed? #Monsterdon

It’s like a 3rd grader was given a plastic recorder, brought it home, and started blowing into it as hard as they could. I’d take a vampire bite any day over that sound. #Monsterdon

Her condition is serious...but don't let that hurry you or anything.

#monsterdon

@strangefour There's gonna be a rooftop chase and I won't be able to pay attention because I'll be constantly on the lookout for a pair of goddamn archers. #Monsterdon

ope, we're back in the hospital, okay, slamming on the brakes again I guess

#Monsterdon

How should I kill Closeau? #monsterdon

Meanwhile Nemo is falling asleep while reading.
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

The worst day for night in the history of movie making #monsterdon

#Monsterdon If they had actually played these ultrasonic notes on set, they would have had more bats than they could handle. 🦇

Look, Lucy just likes to explore old tombs while barefoot and wearing an ornate nightdress.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

Dracula: Who let the dogs out

German Wolpherds: Who, who who

#Monsterdon "Lucy... you got a lotta splainin to do"

"We wanted Orson Wells but we settled for this guy."

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

These long dark outdoor corridors are giving me Dark Souls flashbacks.
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

The shot upwards showing Mina against the backdrop of the castle tower was quite a nice effect TBH

#Monsterdon

Mina is already wearing the right color to become one of Drac's concubines #monsterdon

I don't know if it's the bad compression or bad transfer or what, but whatever it hitting those high notes in the soundtrack is like a dentist drill to the ear drum. #Monsterdon #Dracula1970

Ah, a Midday blue-toned sleep walk through the forest

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Our friend the bat again!!! #monsterdon

In Tod Browning’s version, the bat at least (sort of) flapped its wings. #Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

And Fade to Black. The scene? No. Just Dracula. He's polyphasic. Multi-dimensional Dracula.
#Monsterdon

It's night? Or is it?
#monsterdon

I'm not sure which is worse, the extended periods where nobody says or does anything in this movie, or the bland, stilted dialogue which conveys absolutely zero character from anyone who speaks. #Monsterdon

What is going on with the lighting, is there an eclipse? #monsterdon

guy at the top of the wall there is waiting for king author to come along any minute now

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

No, they do not

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Who left the gate open? Lucy got out again.
#Monsterdon #CountDracula

wait is this a girlboss gatekeep gaslight #monsterdon

“Why is someone whispering my name and playing with a cat toy outside?” #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Mina is not here for your sleepwalking shenanigans.

Okay but do those windows even open

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Dracula's aim is way off if he's trying to compel the anthropithecene fossil known as Lucy.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon such a girl move to apologize for fainting

#Monsterdon Time to first faint was quite long!

I had a dog name Lucy that would run away at the first opportunity so this is all kind of flash-backy for me.

#Monsterdon

I have to assume in the script, this scene is called "Scene 27: Lucy." #monsterdon

After Mina says "Lucy?" for the eighth time, the soundtrack takes the hint and cuts in with the mystery music. #monsterdon

That's the look of an annoyed lady that's sick of somebody outside their window keeping her up all night. Stick to the Boombox with love ballads on it dude 📻

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Can people see my posts? I am having trouble posting. #monsterdon

It’s like 15 minutes of somebody saying fucking Lucy. #Monsterdon

seriously the sound design in this film why are you like this, it's honestly painful

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

OMG, again with the recorders (or whatever that really high-pitched instrument is)!

#Monsterdon

SPOOKY PICCOLOS ARE NOW TRILLING

For extra special SPOOKY.

And also ear pain.

#Monsterdon

fellas, is it gay to get bitten on the neck by another dude and to like it?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon I am waiting for the moment in which they use a ketchup bottle by mistake.

If you understood this reference, remember to exercise regularly and to drink plenty fluids

Lucy is off her face on Ketamine and looking for a kebab shop that's still open, and tbh in London, she might find one.

The all night bagel places near Shoreditch are legendary, if it's THAT late....

#monsterdon

Lucy.. I'm home..

#Monsterdon
#CountDracula1970

I am unable to parse the … animal sounds? …. underneath Dracula’s “Lucy” whispers. What the heck is that supposed to be? A bird? Drunken mice? #monsterdon

“What!?”

“Nothing. I just like saying your name, Lucy.”

#Monsterdon

Hopefully Lucy doesn't get caught up in that horny ghost gang.

#Monsterdon

Why is she wearing a goddamn ballgown to bed #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon It’s Lucy, in the sky, with demons.

I hope there's a giant owl painted on the outside of the house to go with those big eye windows.
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Purple would be the least likely colour for these outfits given the cost of the dye colour in this era. Ah well 😩

#monsterdon

Hey, Lena's wearing Vincent Price's dressing gown from The Pit and The Pendulum! #Monsterdon

@north You, too, huh? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Christopher Lee in these scenes with the grey beard looks an aweful lot like Christopher Walken. 🤔

@iaintshootinmis yeah it's rather loose-y

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon hair in the gate is driving me nuts in this scene

@lytta as in the dyes would not have been discovered/available? #monsterdon

I love the shot in the Dracula with Frank Langella, showing him crawl down a wall and looking in on Lucy upside down #monsterdon

this has given me a terrible idea. what if I supercut every “for the ladies” in my plex library #monsterdon

This is pretty decent for vampiric compulsion. Maybe this movie is going to return to interesting events now

#Monsterdon

I actually suggested naming my kid Lucy, but my SO said that sounds like a name for vampire food. (Yes, we had both read the novel)
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon “Lucy…”. Hold that football still, Lucy…

It's so trendy 🧣

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Lucy...
In the sky...
With chiroptera
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

I hate it when bats murmur my name while floating outside my window at the insane asylum.

#Monsterdon

@Taweret I've never seen this #CountDracula version before. It's pretty good! Impressive cast and good production. EXCEPT, Mina was not rich, she should not be wearing rich clothes, she's engaged to a law clerk (not a rich profession at the time!) and was planning to be his typist! Lucy's from a slightly more well-to-do family and her mom pours money into her clothes to look her best so she can marry up the ladder. And, as I mentioned, those German Shepherd "wolves" and hawk "bat". #Monsterdon

Good thing Lucy never travels without her sheer cerulean nightgown #monsterdon

#monsterdon Fetch a c-clamp, we’ll work a young frankenstein on him. LOL

...in the sky with diamonds!

...in the sky with diamonds!

#monsterdon

That doesn't sound like Ricky Riccado

#monsterdon
#CountDracula

#Monsterdon she's a city girl, that's why she doesn't know animals apart

Lucy in the skyyyy with vampires.. #Monsterdon #Dracula1970

Bat special effects, surprisingly difficult to nail #monsterdon

Dracula, quit playing with your food! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970 I guess that servant is the strong, silent type. Well, silent, at least.

The folks in this #Monsterdon clearly have a problem with dogs

@Taweret you had a damn plan here and us rubes are just living in your universe watching it dawn like the sun #monsterdon

Ah to be a victorian lady and faint for no reason #monsterdon

"We have plenty of rooms at this asylum. We'll get some ready for you."

#Monsterdon

Scarf guy looked like he wanted to say "I'm in this movie too, y'know!" #monsterdon

Lucy awakens with perfect makeup and a glistening lip. #Monsterdon Lucy, Lucy Lucy Lucy Lucy Lucy Lucy Lucy did he get paid by the word?

He is wearing the hell out of that silk cravat. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon There is life in sky raisins! They land on me, all dried and tasty!

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, and how terrible the movie is nevertheless #Monsterdon

@trixter That's a constant in every adaptation. #Monsterdon

this gentleman will escort you to a padded cell while i copy both sides of your insurance card

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon “You should stay here.” Because all I have for company are madmen. Not even a few madwomen.

I'm afraid the guy with the scarf is as close as we are going to get to an Igor

#monsterdon

Mina and Lucy should kiss.

#monsterdon

the real estate company has gotta be so pissed that the protagonist hasn't closed the sale yet. dracula is probably a big client and they haven't gotten any word in days #monsterdon

"Very well, I will have rooms prepared for you both."

Well just need your insurance information...

#monsterdon

I've seen more convincing fake fainting in pro soccer games. #monsterdon

Was Renfeld flossing his toes?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Wow this Renfield is a regular Wilhelm Scream machine.
