All told the padded cell was pretty clean until Renfield combined mealtime with fingerpainting enrichment. #monsterdon

"We specialize in the treatment of the mentally disturbed."
"You mean you think Jonathan is mad?"
"Our funding depends on him being mad, so yes."

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Mina takes a while to appear on this one #monsterdon

We need a restful place with no surprises for Harker to recover from his horrible adventure. Let's put him next to the raving thrall of dracula.

#monsterdon

Lucy! You got some 'spraining to do! #monsterdon

They must be showing "Count Dracula" (1970) a few cells over...

#monsterdon

Well, she's a bit of Nervous Nellie. #monsterdon

If she's gonna faint every time she hears a dog bark this is gonna be a looooong movie. #Monsterdon

Renfield, shut it, you're scaring the visitors.

#Monsterdon

This would be the greatest film ever if one of the characters reached over and plucked that hair stuck in the camera during the transfer. #Monsterdon #Dracula1970

🦖 #MONSTERDON 🎞️

Christopher Lee, in an interview, said that he thought Klaus Kinski was MISCAST.

#CountDracula1970

@CactuarJoe there was a hair in the novel too, it's authentic #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “Mina! Lucy!” Harker! Bullwinkle!

@CactuarJoe I hate it when that happens. 😂

#monsterdon

@Taweret wait you are not joking this is real https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Best_Fiend
#monsterdon

Be sure to floss between your toes, get all that nasty plaque off, Renfield

#monsterdon

"Meena" "No, you Jonathan!" #monsterdon

Oh darling, no, I just had my hair done!

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

"...3, 2, 1 ... faint!"

#Monsterdon #CountDracula

#monsterdon We call this shot Vitamin Shutup. LOL.

So just what kind of guest quarters would an insane asylum have? #monsterdon

Someone get that red thread out of the film projector gate! #Monsterdon
#CountDracula1970

#monsterdon Ladies, if he

- Dresses like arriving from a party in Ibiza
- Is obsessed with nutritional values and caloric count
- Spent some time behind bars
- Had been in a May-December romance

He is not your man, he is Renfield

@SnoopJ It's not just the beer

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon i can stop flies any time i want. i just need one more hit

INSTAN MINA HARKER CRUSH
#Monsterdon

@wohali my dog Ozzy snored right through it

#monsterdon

"Look! What's that!?"

That is a dog. #Monsterdon

"Lena, look! What's that!?"

It's... A dog? Have you never seen a dog before, ma'am? #Monsterdon

I also only know all the names I know because I see people say them on the #monsterdon feed, lmao. I've missed all the proper introductions in this one

There is some nice b-roll cinematography going on in this movie

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

I *love* their hats. This is how you know it's a movie of quality.

#Monsterdon

"look, what's that?"

it's called a dog...

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon uh-oh! spaghetti-ohs

#Monsterdon I always like the No Reflection lore. 😈

My cat Ruby does not like the barking dog.

#monsterdon

I hope he leaves a poor rating on his AirBNB castle.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon perfectly coiffed hair is definitely what I would expect from the occupant of a padded cell

@SRLevine

Eating flies: That's your job once Dracula hires you as his Renfield.

Admittedly there isn't much competition for this position.

#Monsterdon

...i'm face blind enough that i spent our first couple minutes with renfield assuming he was harker after a couple months had passed #monsterdon

Renfield needs a hair clip
#monsterdon

it could be the beer but you've lost me here, movie. you had a good thing going and then slammed on the brakes in a way I understand as *supposed* to be interesting

#Monsterdon

Nothing, just Klaus Kinski appreciation post #monsterdon

Nobody's going to hurt you Renfield you are far too handsome #Monsterdon

I watched "Renfield" with Nicolas Cage yesterday in preparation for this movie.

I want these.

@strangefour Great Value Vincent Price.

#monsterdon

This movie could use more harpsichord.

#Monsterdon #CountDracula

#monsterdon I see we're exploring the room s that housekeeping has visited. No spider webs, but, we have the #SuddenStringSection finally... get 'em sitars and violins!

@allanb it's the Hotel California

#Monsterdon

We have Vincent Price at home.
Vincent Price at home:

🦖 #MONSTERDON 🎞️

Below are Klaus Kinski's (Renfield) lines in #CountDracula1970

#Monsterdon 🧛 ⚰️ 🦇 😱 💞

Better if they would've cast Werner Herzog as van Helsing

"Renfield, nobody's going to hurt you." is totally Checkov's "Nobody's going to hurt you." #monsterdon

Why is he eating the flies?

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Hey hey hey, what's Captain Nemo from #MysteriousIsland1961 doing in #CountDracula ? Is that the same actor (the doctor who came into Jonathan Harker's room)? #Monsterdon

"what is it Renfield?"
i wanna be where the people are~~~
#monsterdon

@Taweret wait this is a recurring character in dracula universe now i need to open another wikipedia page #monsterdon

fly closeup

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Yes, yes. If I smear this just so, then we can remove the fabric and hang it. It'll fetch a fortune. I'll title it "Rejected Lunch."

A certain Count Dracula :ablobglarezoombutfast:

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

FINALLY! I have a contextual reason to share this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bqee6Xrqtlo #monsterdon

#monsterdon Back in time this is were they used to bring people getting out of QAnon

#Monsterdon 🧛 ⚰️ 🦇 😱 💞

Please tell me y'all have seen My Best Fiend because Klaus appreciation really requires that film imho

Oh, that’s not meat sauce! #Monsterdon

Some people keep weed in little satchels like that. Not this guy -- nope, flies.

#Monsterdon

Lest we forget the classic scene of playing with one's spaghetti-Os splattered on the wall from the novel, Dracula.

#monsterdon

"...huh, tastes like chicken"

#Monsterdon #CountDracula

sharp pivot to a different movie of a guy painting, that's fine i'm into this too #monsterdon

Kinski as renfield seems like dream casting honestly

#monsterdon

you would think vampire bites would be the first thing they check for at van helsing’s clinic #monsterdon

Ren-FIELD! Ren-FIELD! Ren-FIELD!!!

As you can imagine, I am a huge Renfield fan

#Monsterdon

klaus kinki's got nothing on pollick and he knows it. it tortures him.

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

It's called "art" mom!

#Monsterdon

Oh, Klaus Kinski. Shit’s about to get weird. #monsterdon

He trained those flies himself, from when they were maggots, when they displeased him, he ATE them in front of the others....

#monsterdon

And that's why we don't give them spaghetti o's anymore.

#Monsterdon #CountDracula

the professor looks like he's ready to get away to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism: SPACE

#monsterdon

fuck yeah, klaus kinski

he's always weird as fuck

#monsterdon

Did they teach in 1970 film school that you must zoom in every time the word Dracula comes up on screen? #monsterdon

#monsterdon DID YOU GUYS SAW THE DOCTOR DOING THE DRAMATIC CHIPMUNK MEME DID YOU SAW HIM. Gosh I'm terminally online

@CactuarJoe Catching up on #Monsterdon: I missed the first ~fifteen minutes of #CountDracula but touched down a couple of times. Looks like they included some of the "Dracula's Guest" short story but ... used shaggy German Shepherds instead of wolves. Did they think we couldn't tell? Also, when the Count turned into a "bat" they used a hawk instead? ... right around 29:30, he could have ended the movie RIGHT THERE but he didn't know about staking, just went into a panic and ran out the window?

Look, when we said macaroni pictures, we didn't mean use a can of Chef Boy-ar-dee!

#monsterdon

So they shipped his damaged body from Budapest to the newly bought Clinic outside of London

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

@SRLevine but every time i look up, they are zooming in on something #Monsterdon

And the Chief Inspector makes his appearance. #Monsterdon

There, there, a little morphine will clear up those delusions you’ve been having. #Monsterdon

Dracula, you say? ZOOM IN #monsterdon

"Have you made inquiries?"

Yes, the restaurant does deliver. They do not, however, do Margarita Mondays. I'm sorry, doctor. #Monsterdon

I’ve never seen anyone inject a hypodermic needle quite like that. #Monsterdon

wait what

disguised as bats? How does he know about that?

#Monsterdon

That Herbert Lom serves up some FACE, y’all. What a badass look in those eyes. You know this dude is Drac’s doom.
#Monsterdon

note to self go back and do this after the movie @SnoopJ
https://hachyderm.io/@SnoopJ/113263548434432043

#monsterdon

Oh here's Klaus Kinski, in his own movie as always....probably his own shit on the walls too.....

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Cut back to London. Fastest way to travel. Also, “Giant bats! Why don’t you believe me!”

We are now at Dr. Van Helsing's clinic...

honestly it's probably unfortunate that this is my introduction to the main sequence of the dracula plot #monsterdon

#monsterdon #mastween #dracula1970

Is this the first #monsterdon with Klaus Kinski?

#Monsterdon 🧛 ⚰️ 🦇 😱 💞

It woulda been great if the Doc had introduced himself as 'Dr. Akula'

Poor kid. He's got a bad case of "bat crazies." #monsterdon

hey! it's inspector dreyfus again! hi~ #monsterdon
