i wonder what klaus kinski is up to

#monsterdon

Vampires are so sensual and romantic *cue bat screeching and mouth-harp sound effects* #monsterdon

"Now I think she has a chance. We'll just have to wait and see*"

* if she has the same blood type as her fiance #monsterdon

@SeanAloysiusOBrien nope! #Monsterdon

@moira Now I'm just picturing Dracula waddling around the back alleys of this town inflated like a balloon like "Oooh I should not have had that much to drink" #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “We need to give her a transfusion”… are blood types just a joke to you, doc?

dammit drac stop using the waterpic while calling your thrall

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

Lucy? Wait a minute. We just saw this scene. #Monsterdon oh no the bats are back. Lucy lost her cape now. Shame

Ah, the 70's, when blood was #FF0000 red… #Monsterdon

I hoped you type her and his blood, you know. Just can't be giving transfusions willy-nilly #monsterdon

@OldRustBucket Did he though? I thought they were discussing it but hadn't actually finalized the deal

#Monsterdon

Oh boy new character to drain the blood of let's say hello to Quincy

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Everybody's sleeping above the covers. #monsterdon

Halfway point. I'm kinda shocked how boring they've managed to make Dracula with this

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Wow. Lucy had yhat nightgown tucked in her fairly small bag??

#Monsterdon 🧛 ⚰️ 🦇 😱 💞

Mina's robe has some seriously odd rickracked multilobed collar action

@Newpa_Hasai Yeah, I just hadn't realized he'd made the trip yet

Timelines are confusing in this movie

#Monsterdon

They're pumping her full of cherry kool-aid. #Monsterdon #Dracula1970

Chew that scenery Christopher! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970 It's Little Boy Blue!

did they know about blood types yet at this point?

#monsterdon

Sunny Transylvania just doesn’t work for me. #Monsterdon

In the olden days, blood looked like kool-aid because of malnutrition #TIL #monsterdon

@north @iaintshootinmis or a bottle in front o' me

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

"...I just drank a lot of Kool Aid, so my blood should be extra red!"

#Monsterdon #CountDracula

Back when we watched Logan Five, someone did a super cut of all the people yelling "Logan!". Someone should do that for "Lucy" in #Dracula too. #monsterdon

Are we gonna get all three of Lucy's pointless suitors? Where is the American cowboy?
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

QUINCEY MORRIS, our beloved gun-toting Texan cowboy, has been merged with the character of ARTHUR HOLMWOOD?!! this is OUTRAGEOUS I'm going on STRIKE #Monsterdon

@iaintshootinmis Better give her a lobotomy! #Monsterdon

Yeah I know that look Dracula :High:

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

...So when does the cowboy show up? #Monsterdon

"i blame myself"
yeah, next time the two of you should share a bed. safer that way, you know. #monsterdon

Luuuucyyyyyy #Monsterdon #mastoween

@Taweret oh yeah.
I once watched Herzog's "Even Dwarfs Started Small" at a little indy theater in Minneapolis about a decade ago, and ... wow ... it was an experience.

It still haunts me, sometimes, #Monsterdon

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

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

#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

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

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.

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

#monsterdon

Okay but do those windows even open

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

#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

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

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