When pretty much everyone in this movie is wearing a cape, how am I supposed to know who the vampire is? #monsterdon

@blue @apLundell #Monsterdon Whoof! 10/10.

Ma'am I'd really recommend not chewing the scenery here, that stonework'll do a number on your teeth. #Monsterdon

lady, your baby got ate. go home

#monsterdon

PUT

THE BABY

BACK!

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

She wants her baby back
But backstreet’s back
Alright
#monsterdon

I want my baby back… baby back… baby back… ribs. #Monsterdon

I've seen realer looking Castle walls at a Halloween store.

#Monsterdon

Love the giant spider in his bedroom, is this Romania or Australia?

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

what just happened to the film reel quality???? i'm lost #monsterdon

Stupid, stupid bird!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🧛 ⚰️ 🦇 😱 💞

Why isn't this poor lady begging and crying in Romanian?

baby back ribs maybe

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

She shouldn't have lent her baby to Dracula
#monsterdon

#monsterdon He came really quite a lot. Now it's all slippery and mind your step.

#monsterdon For less than that we had pandemic

Baby back baby back baby back

#Monsterdon
#CountDracula1970

#Monsterdon Worst hotel. Bugs, stuck doors, and bats in the belfry. Also dog barking well into the night.

Hmm...locked into the room from the outside when Dracula puts a lawyer on retainer he really means it #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I'm not sexist, but the protagonist looked more handsome in his cape. I guess it just leaves more to the imagination.

a brief encounter with… something… in the window which made our hero very sleepy

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

@CactuarJoe I don't understand why anyone wants facial hair, really. But I guess that's easy for me to say, since I don't have to shave my face for that clean-shaven look. #Monsterdon #CountDracula

Plastic spider! #monsterdon

is that a tiny wee ghost lady in the fireplace?

#monsterdon

What the fuck was that?
What just happened at the window?
#Monsterdon #CountDracula

#monsterdon Don't call me 'tilla, just call me hun…

OMG THE BAT!!! #monsterdon

was that a bat or a monkey? #monsterdon

Like my house, he's only a guest and rents it from the spiders.

#monsterdon

Was that him or the bat that screamed? #monsterdon

shoji in transylvania

weird flex but go off

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

I want my baby back,
Baby back
Baby back

#Monsterdon

You are invited, no wait, no, you're not you have to say now. 🧛‍♂️

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Is it mandatory for all actors playing Jonathan Harker to be completely expressionless? #monsterdon

Oh, good rubber bat on a string, good job #Monsterdon

lol bat

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Sticking close to the original text so far, points for that.

THE BALKDJFALKJDF ALKTHE THE BAT ADKLFJALDSK #Monsterdon

Nothing like a little Viennese music to put you in the mood for Dracula. #Monsterdon

@apLundell they orerry dusted it yesterday #monsterdon

That wasn't a bat. That was a rubber chicken.

#Monsterdon #CountDracula

I haven't even heard a single number yet in this film. I'm starting to think that there's going to be far less counting than advertised.

#Monsterdon

so far i think we're lined up for a voluntary endraculation as the realtor guy realizes it's way cooler to do whatever it is that draculas do than sell houses to them. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Totally normal to serve meals on a table with cobweb strewn candlesticks.

honestly I love this seemingly obligatory scene in every vampire movie, where the visiting dude wanders around his room he's been given to stay the night in the vampire's estate

#Monsterdon

Bat Shadow!

#Monsterdon #CountDracula

It’s like Dracula has never heard of a feather duster. #Monsterdon

Man, I really need to train my dog to punctuate my dramatic pronouncements like that. #monsterdon

"...we saved all this money by not having a soundtrack so we could afford a plastic spider"

#Monsterdon #CountDracula

@bunnyhero The Fred Saberhagen version has a fun take on the whole "Dracula's servants in the castle" thing. #Monsterdon #CountDracula

so much spackle you can really tell he redid the place just recently

and yet

so many cobwebs

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

#monsterdon so is this the same Fallon from Twins of Evil, or a different one?

@JoeWynne #Monsterdon Exactly - though also anti-gravity when he flaps off.

#monsterdon The spiders are very orderly around the house.

#Monsterdon commercial break:

TIL Applebee's is trying to drive business for Spooky Season with dollar cocktails. That just reeks of desperation (much like Applebee's dining room).

The acting isn't bad

#monsterdon

OMG they can zoom out too?!?!?

whhhhhooooooaaaaaa

#Monsterdon

"I must learn something of its people. And their blood types."

#Monsterdon

I'm on my third bowl of popcorn but to be fair it's a small bowl. #Monsterdon 🍿

Christopher Lee is perfect #monsterdon

The sound of a dog who will not accept that its dinner time is five minutes hence.

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Maybe dust that orrery?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “The post might have served you…”. Nah, he’s got a phobia of posts, especially sharp ones.

"You are my honoured guest...AWOOOOO"
#monsterdon

are my new neighbors owners or tenants? i don't wanna live in an area that's all airbnbs

#monsterdon

HE SAID THE THING #monsterdon

The cameraman has been very helpful with the extreme zooms to let us know when something is Very Important and we should pay extra attention #Monsterdon

Lol, the German shepherds playing wolves. They zoom in on a super pudgy good pupper. The bestest.

#Monsterdon

The director wanted to make sure we didn't overlook the candlestick camping in a tent of spiderwebs #monsterdon

If Dracula had worked out the deal by mail he wouldn't have had anyone to listen to his soliloquies

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Creaky Thudding, the name I danced under. LOL.

@jonny @Taweret One would think so. Any *count* should have that much business sense. ... Or some scheme in mind. #Monsterdon #CountDracula

yeah, 1/3 husky 1/3 wolf 1/3 air raid siren, that's music

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

there's something about draculas being plural that robs it of all drama. "he is just a freaking dracula" instead of "he is freaking dracula."

but then you can reclaim it a little with phrases like "that was a dracula indeed" as if we could all be draculas, because then i am involved. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon once again the film is preying on Britons' fears of immigration from Central and Eastern Europe

@aprilfollies

Gravitas!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon We all have that Fourth wall monologue type of friend in every group do we

#Monsterdon

Is it just me or are the "wolves" German Shephards..?

also the wolf's honored guest. #monsterdon

Draculas defeated wave after wave of killbots #monsterdon

Movie needs an ec CW.

#monsterdon

He's got the fangs, but the lower jaw would benefit from some braces. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Wow. No reflection scene right off the bat. Runaway dude!

Harker: whoa, dude could stand for some good ol’ English dentistry. Because, you know, it’s so fantastic here at the turn of the century.
#Monsterdon

PULL DE STRINGS! #Monsterdon #Dracula1970

Hammer Dracula is way sassier. Very different vibes. This one was apparently sold on its adherence to the novel #Monsterdon

Are you not hungry? You've hardly touched your cobweb salad. #monsterdon

Gads, I’ve had apartments smaller than that fireplace! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🧛 ⚰️ 🦇 😱 💞

"And when I say 'we', I definitely am including me, personally" <-- Count Dracula

@aparrish Goes especially well with locked doors

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe can confirm, train rides through Europe are fun. The Sail-Rail from Dublin to Wales to London was quite enjoyable.

American #Monsterdon friends - try #Amtrak sometime, it's fun! Except when something goes wrong, then its an adventure.

(commercial break posting)

#Monsterdon Atilla the Hun, no one wants this history lesson.

All I hear is King Haggard. 🦄 #Monsterdon

I mean, I know it's hard to get good help but this is ridiculous

#monsterdon

#monsterdon No carriage suspension, no La-Z Boys... What is this nightmare

“The blood of Atilla runs in these veins.”

I guess that’s who he had for dinner earlier.

#Monsterdon

Edit: I think I misheard “Atilla” as “a tiller.” I assumed he meant like a farmer, one who tills the land.

Yes. An empty house is perfect. A Full House would be completely unsuitable; I cannot stand the Olsen twins #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe

What other movies besides this and The Third Man feature the Zither? Precious few. Anyone?

#Monsterdon

"shadows of my past remain here"
actually, if you'd just burn those dead bodies and spray some fabreeze or something, you wouldn't need to move. #monsterdon
