That fireplace tho. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Holy crap! Those are some tall candles. How long do they expect to be in that dining room?

I have not read the book, but I'm getting the impression from what I know that they set out to do a sober adaptation with this movie? #monsterdon

Dracula doesn't even have a giant collar #Monsterdon

I love how Lee turns to this doofus as if to say, "DO YOU GET IT? No reflection? HUH!? Nudge nudge!"
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

"An empty house... yes, yes that is exactly what I require"

As opposed to so many people who would be happy living in a house full of other people

#Monsterdon

Dracula and his intimidatingly long candles #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe the train is cute too. #Monsterdon

Totally normal for your host to have a cobweb with a little house underneath it #monsterdon

i love to eat at a fancy dinner table where the candles are covered in webbing #monsterdon

#monsterdon Already dinned*wink wink*

The cobwebs on the candelabras are way extra. #Monsterdon

@Taweret ok then maybe he'll actually be fine since dracula probably has the business sense to close on the house before eating the guy and by that point they'll be in like a bank and no longer needing to meet in the dracula castle #monsterdon

Anyone else missing Shadow of the Vampire's corny take on this scene right now?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Christopher Lee elevates even stepping up to a carriage seat.

@jonny I don't know this either. #Monsterdon #CountDracula

Geez didn't even dust the doors?

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

in the middle of the night?

in the middle of ohio?

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

Why was the castle wall making loogie sounds and quacks? #monsterdon

Is that Citizen Kane's fireplace?

#Monsterdon #CountDracula

Dracula wants a better rate, can't you do prime plus one?

#monsterdon

is this guy selling dracula a house how do you get that gig #monsterdon

@Crazypedia I guess holes in roofs have been a thing since forever

#Monsterdon

He's using the special candles that don't shed light.

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Dude if I get to sleep in a bed with big ass full around red velvet curtains like that I am jumping straight in like Scrooge McDuck into his pool of gold coins #Monsterdon

#monsterdon FUN FACT Dracula's breath canonically stinks. And yes guys, he has facial hair

Oh yes, I will await your pleasure 😏🤭 #monsterdon

#Monsterdon the count is not big on self-reflection

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970 Why don't the candles show up? These are vampire candles?

You'd think a Dracula wouldn't want facial hair, especially white facial hair. Nothing worse than getting a whisker in your teeth when trying to bite the local virgin. #Monsterdon

@lytta That's how you know it's from 1970.

#monsterdon

I shall await your pleasure
Wow, okay, Daddy #Monsterdon

“Enter freely and of your own will” is how I’m going to greet trick-or-treaters from now on. #monsterdon

"Enter freely, and of your own will" is the "live, laugh, love" of Transylvania

#Monsterdon

@Victorsigmoid VAMPIRE CANDLES

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

Totally normal that your host doesn’t have a mirror reflection #monsterdon

"Enter freely and of your own will"

Yeah this guy is warm friendly and inviting we're totally safe here #Monsterdon

His servants are pretty bad at housekeeping.

1 star.

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe it does have very nice scenery. #Monsterdon

Life hack: If Count Dracula offers to see to your comfort himself… RUUUUUUUUN!!!!

#Monsterdon

Dracula answers his own door, drives his own carriage, prepares his guest’s room himself. He’s a modern vampire. What does he not do? #Monsterdon

ok part of what i missed that's actually important to know is why this guy is going up to see dracula, seems like a bad call #monsterdon

The candles must be vampires too!

#monsterdon
#CountDracula

#monsterdon Bring on the political ad clowns. Already voted, you hot piles of #mastodon interrupting junk. So sorry, already voted, drop dead advertisers!

Like Drac my dude, that mustache canNOT be practical for drinking blood #monsterdon

"I shall await your pleasure... in my _chambers_..."

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

Well Dracula was authentically the coach driver. Will he also have the mustache from the original novel?
. . .
HE DOES!
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

I shall I shall I shall

alright mr. fancypants

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Deep Christopher Lee voice is making this work, amazingly.

is the audio really quiet for everyone else btw?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "enter freely and of your own will" the first click-through license agreement

This is the set of Dark Shadows!
#Monsterdon #CountDracula

Okay Mr Body's dropped off, time to haul outta here

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Having some trouble with the lighting design. And the score (though at least it’s clearly trying for something–just don’t think it’s succeeding). Driver is def Dracula, though, given his dog powers. #monsterdon

If you have a front door like that you need to have a little spy hole behind bars that opens and you can look out of it.

(I have one, it's awesome and useless)

#Monsterdon

Creaky door opened by spooky guy with a massive mustache.
#Monsterdon #CountDracula

Holy Hell! Dig the soup strainer on Drac! How on EARTH did he keep the blood stains out of that thing? #Monsterdon #Dracula1970

just letting you know up front i’m a Dracula #monsterdon

"Enter freely and of your own will."

Thanks, I will! I appreciate you directly calling that out, otherwise I might be concerned that this place was HIDEOUSLY CURSED #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Like if you clenched your teeth because of the door bell

#monsterdon cobwebs on *all* the things?

“Enter freely and of your own will” sounds like something a lawyer would say, actually, just to avoid any liability #monsterdon

honestly there's something so surreal about someone saying "ah yes, you're Count Dracula?" and just saying it like you're saying a normal person's name

it's like godzilla movies where nobody knows' what godzilla is

#Monsterdon

I've seen the Castlevania anime, if you ask to see his science stuff, he has to marry you. #monsterdon

"Enter freely and of your own will"

That's how I'll invite people into my house from now.

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

that's freaking dracula? bull shit i will believe that when i see an appropriately sized pointy cowl #monsterdon

Hi! I’m Dracula! Welcome to my crib! #monsterdon

Harpsichord! (or something along those lines)

#Monsterdon

Not many visitors to these parts, it seems.

#Monsterdon

@strangefour Just hitting every button on that sound board

#monsterdon

German shepherds of the woods. #monsterdon

There's the lad!

#Monsterdon

LEE! LEE! LEE! LEE! #Monsterdon

@adhdeanasl Yes.

#monsterdon

Which, hey, fair enough. #Monsterdon

It’s daytime at the top of the castle. Weird. #Monsterdon

I live in a 100 year old house. My front door has a literal door bell. You turn it and it rings.

Cool door knocker though.

#Monsterdon

that's a lot of spiderweb on a door lol

#Monsterdon

everything in this movie sounds strange lol #monsterdon

THE ELDER

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

The sound effects man is hitting all the buttons. So many different random dog noises. Chittering bugs. Bats flapping in a cartoon. Houses making hose while the horse has it's mouth shut.
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Those are just doggies. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon The count's careiage driver is VERY obviously Christopher Lee's voice.

🦖 #MONSTERDON 🎞️

✔️ Monsterdon List

* Count Dracula
* One More Time
* Taste the Blood of Dracula
* Scars of Dracula

All starring Christopher Lee as Count Dracula. All movies from 1970.

#CountDracula1970

The other alternative was a movie named "Dogs tear Christopher Lee apart" but no dog was brave enough for that role.

Also, it didn't do well with test audiences.

#Monsterdon

Speaking as a piccolo player, I had not previously associated that instrument with "horror movie soundtrack"... but, speaking as a piccolo player, that _does_ track.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Not sure I'd want to get off the carriage in the creepy dark foggy forest.

Those were the most confused-looking dogs I've seen on film since that scene in Beethoven's Second where Beethoven meets his future wife and is like "a GIRL dog?????" #monsterdon

@srol 's comment about bloodborne pathogens was adjacent to the one about armadillos ( @CactuarJoe ) and my brain went straight to leprosy

#TooMuchScience #Monsterdon

He can hide his face with a scarf but there's no disguising that voice. #monsterdon

desperately searching the #monsterdon feed for meaning but all i'm getting is that there are dogs and that's just about the only thing i already know

@Taweret we the viewers are clearly not supposed to know how to read canine body language #monsterdon

What's up with all zooms in and out all the time?
#monsterdon

just stopping in a clearing to wave some dogs off my lawn, you know, as you do. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon who knows what doggos lurk in the hearts of woods? the shadow knows!

Wow they just really reached into the whole Animal Sound Library didn't they

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

#Monsterdon 🧛 ⚰️ 🦇 😱 💞

Is any of this weird string music harpsicord by any chance?

The feared giant gray German Sheppard wolves of Transyl-Italy. #Monsterdon #Dracula1970

Shoutout to the zither on the soundtrack. #Monsterdon

that's not like a supernatural power or anything, he's just really good with dogs

#Monsterdon
