#monsterdon Okay if that doesn't work we'll pull out a piano, then a giant anvil.
Then they push the burninating coffin off another castle wall, then I assume they kick his burning corpse all the way to the sea where he fucks off, because the last frame of the film said "fin"
Foam Boulders was the name of my band in college.
#Monsterdon
Maybe I'm too used to the Science!(tm) movies we do, but I feel like this would have been much better if it were 20-30 minutes shorter.
That was quite the rock reload speed, good job boys π
That movie bit Dracula in the neck and sucked it dry of any kind of suspense or intrigue. Hoo boy. Thanks once more to @Taweret for hosting. We're in for quite a month. #Monsterdon #Dracula1970
@davesdogmaggie "Goodbye old friend...."
"OH SHIIIIIT!"
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970
Aw come on you gotta keep him in the box until he's properly burned, otherwise your vampire comes out undercooked
Gotta say, that was the most Bugs Bunny way Dracula could possibly have died. #Monsterdon
Another #Monsterdon is in the can!
Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!
Tonight's feature, #CountDracula is from 1970, and was the first of this month's #70sDracula jubilee! We had fangs, hangs, and whole shebangs, along with:
- Plastic spiders!
- Plastic bats!
- Lots of cobwebs!
- Fly snacks!
- Nowhere near enough harpsichord!
- So much camera zoom!
tipping the coffin over the wall wasn't required, just a flex
"Don't tease her, boy, HIT that thing!"
Cleansing fire
Casually dropping rocks on villagers. Totally normal behavior.
OMG the final SFX on Dracula were not good, not good....
Me watching a vampire fully get her tits out and fight a guy topless on #Monsterdon several weeks ago: π΄
Me watching Christopher Lee as a vampire skim his lips over a girl's face: they can't legally show this kind of thing can they π¨
I did not expect boulders #monsterdon
omg wtf lmao
@diazona @flowerpot It was definitely some sort of prayer
Drunk? I'll say. They were downright hammered. #Monsterdon #Dracula1970
the dying vampire lady noises are hilarious and i don't think they're supposed to be hilarious
..which then wiped away completely. Some magical future fabric perhaps?
I can buy that Draculas are afraid of a silver crucifix charm, but it's goofy when they're scared of literally every cross, even hand drawn ones.
When they read a book, do they recoil from the letter 't'?
#Monsterdon
#Monsterdon βYou have learned much; you can do nothing.β Yep, definitely grad school.
βYou have learned muchβ¦ my young padawan.β #Monsterdon
Did they completely skip over the boat to England? The iconic ghost ship?
i know there's only like 10 minutes left but i'm having trouble staying awake π¬ #monsterdon

That fireplace has totally not been used in 10 years
#monsterdon
Ok I still donβt understand who the Vincent price character is?
#monsterdon
10 minutes to go. begging for release, I don't even care how this ends, only that it ends
Kinski is 100% acting in an experimental Warhol film. They just spliced him in.
I feel like if you just cut down every lingering pause the movie takes, you'd drop like half the runtime. #Monsterdon
The acting of the taxidermied animals is uncanny, but that doesn't mean it's good #monsterdon
Varna... Bulgaria? Wikiality lists multiple cities with similar names
Physical kidnapping by force seems beneath Dracula
The wooden case. The wooden case! Say COFFIN you cowards. #Monsterdon
Ok the taxidermy scene was HILARIOUS - we both burst out laughing. Amazing. #monsterdon
trying to think of how they're gonna do a final 15 minutes here where they've basically set up nothing aside from "yep count dracula sure is a bat and doing vampire things" #monsterdon
Dracula, ignoring prostitutes?
Not believable.
I'm going to tell everyone that this is the real Count Dracula.
#Monsterdon #CountDracula
This orderlyβs gonna get et before the end, right? That guys a dick
#monsterdon
@apLundell@octodon.social what about a whole ROOM full of badly taxidermied animals? #Monsterdon π§π» #CountDracula1970
*oh,* it's a psychic battle/stuff is going on in people's heads. (unironically, suddenly the taxidermy gets less absurd and actually kinda scary)
#Monsterdon The taxidermy is so bad the animals became undead.
@SesameSquirrel compared to this movie it's sublime #monsterdon
#monsterdon *Speaking to the swordfish*
HEY ALEXA, PLAY SEA SHANTY
#Monsterdon I know, guys. I am frightened by bad taxidermy, also.
that fox popping in from the right side of the screen... absolutely hilarious
and the badger
i am DYING here
FANTASTIC MISTER FOX NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
@SesameSquirrel i've been thinking the same thing! #monsterdon
"I never thought to connect the property bought by count Dracula to this place."
What? How? Isn't it literally next door? How did you not notice?
#Monsterdon
Dude is wearing a neck brace after throwing himself out the window. And the "doctor" is going to shake him to get his attention? #monsterdon
Okay, weighing the value of a crucifix vs a gun was amusing
No more Renfield PLEASE
@OldRustBucket@universeodon.com this knowledge could help save lives #monsterdon
lol @ Lucy sleeping with her eyes open
@strangefour Back then they had a lot of them because so few made it to adulthood, because of the vampires.
Lucy isn't exactly subtle stealthy as a hunter. But thankfully Victorian era children are stupid.
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970
So wait, it's not strangers they needed to warn you against, it's vampires!
Don't get into a van with a vampire makes a lot more sense.
@brooke I was just thinking the hairstylists were MIGHTY BUSY during this film #Monsterdon π§π» #CountDracula1970
in the novel, Quincey Morris is a cowboy. like a rootin' tootin' cowboy and he's the one who kills Dracula
with a knife
in the novel, Dracula is stabbed to death by a cowboy. any adaptation that doesn't honor that is an adaptation made by cowards
"It's not too late for me to act." Bro: we are all thinking the same thing. Please start acting. It's not too late. #monsterdon
She's not dead so much as bored. #Monsterdon
haha that was such a dumb scene
#monsterdon
Gotta say, Francis Ford Coppola's version shits all over this....
I feel like there should be something important from Renfield getting through that window, but does it say more about him or Dracula?
This would be a pretty incomprehensible film if we didn't already know the story. #Monsterdon
π¦ #MONSTERDON ποΈ
Notice how the Count is getting younger after he partakes - also part of the original book.
We boomers are still very interested in this technology.
Renfield also seems fine, just let him eat bugs damn #monsterdon
...Please don't eat the dragonfly. PLEASE don't eat th- okay fine. #Monsterdon
Here's a behind-the-scenes shot of the visual effects department. #monsterdon
so far i'm not really getting a sense of conflict from the film. some people seem to be becoming draculas but it doesn't seem to be posing a problem. really everyone in this hospital seems to want to go do dracula things and the doctors are preventing them #monsterdon
I wonder if different blood types taste different
Dracula probably could have told them about blood types
You think all the people roaming the halls of the sanitarium at night would bump into each other
They hadn't really figured out blood typing at this point in history. Transfusion was quite risky and complicated.
First actual blood banks weren't established until the 1930's in Chicago.
i'm gonna be completely honest i got immediately distracted by the idea of dracula buying a house and struggling with castle maintenance so i don't know what's going on in the movie because i have been reading about stuff like this
ο»Ώο»Ώhttps://www.nts.org.uk/stories/restoration-of-scottish-castles
https://www.medievalchronicles.com/medieval-castles/looking-after-a-castle-castle-upkeep/
https://knightstemplar.co/the-challenges-and-techniques-of-medieval-castle-maintenance/
but as usual don't know what is real or an AI spamblog so i am just letting it ride #monsterdon
Those punctures are like a meter apart. Iβd look for a vampire with a very large head. #Monsterdon
Introduction first, then demand pints of blood....
"Maybe you should get him on Telegram"
What kind of grifter, nazi, or nazi grifter is Qunicy?
oh man drac's allergies are _bad_
@cheribaker Nor sleep in full makeup, I'd bet
I'm thinking about my pajamas and feeling habitually underdressed right now. I don't even own a chiffon winged gown. #Monsterdon
...now I want a late night hot meat bagel...damn you Dracula!
someone just replaced every word in this movie with Lucy from here on out. #monsterdon
Lucy: Iβm travelling and staying at a strange hospital, but Iβm SO GLAD I packed this filmy wedding gown to sleep in.
Mina: okay I guess. I turned my curtains into a choir robe
#Monsterdon
The zooms in this film: *dramatic prairie dog*
#monsterdon Stalker voice saying your name be like the gothic equivalent to saying "heyyyyyyy" in Tinder
...Is that a *didgeridoo* on the soundtrack there??? #Monsterdon
I donβt know about this Harker guy, but Iβm not sure Iβd be satisfied with βyou were found in an Eastern European river, and now youβre in Londonβ. Itβs still bugging me several minutes later. Like, how long was I out? Who shipped me overseas? Why wasnβt I treated in, say Budapest, or even Berlin? #monsterdon
#Monsterdon there are so many doppelgangers in this thing. The mental patient looks like Christopher Lambert. That doctor looked like Gene Hackman. English guy reminded me of Harry Hamlin.
#monsterdon He survived the fall out the window. Oh hooray. LOL.
I am getting word from wikipedia that the painting toilet fly guy is dracula's servant, so that explains why dracula's house is in such disarray and why he needs to move. the plots do converge.
edit: sorry for spoilers i just realized that this movie was in fact "just dracula" and not like a movie set in the dracula universe
#monsterdon
