Zoom is too complicated for just one man.
And Tubi rolls into Dan Curtis' version of Dracula with Jack Palance as Dracula #monsterdon
@moira Were we supposed to understand those glassy-eyed animals howling were animated taxidermic creatures, or was this just more "we ran out of money, use these cheap props"? #Monsterdon #CountDracula
Oh ... that's how ... it ends? We just had to be at a higher elevation than Dracula so we could drop something heavy on him? #monsterdon
Love the super-dramatic music swelling while they stand at the top of the wall wondering if maybe they should put that fire out before it catches.
Huh. So that's how you wanna end your movie, huh? Okay, get bent. I'm outta here. #Monsterdon
that visual effect at the end was cool, at least
thank god it's over. #Monsterdon took serious psychic damage from this one
so that was a pretty lame adaptation but there were some unintentionally funny moments
one 70s dracula down
3 to go
and Herzog is up next so that will be interesting
ty for joining, everyone!!
It’s weird the shortcuts the director took and what he decided to leave in. No Demeter, but there are the little details like hiring the ship and discussing the property. Weird.
#Monsterdon
#monsterdon you could've at least unhitched the horse from the damn cart first
just picture that indiana jones face melting dude instead of what actually just happened there. #monsterdon
Time and space has little meaning. I knew it! He is a transdimensional being! The fade to black earlier gave it away
#monsterdon
you had a successful strategy: staking worked. you hadn't even tried burning someone for like a minute before dumping them over a ledge before, don't test in prod. #monsterdon
I loved the real fear in Christopher Lee’s eyes, when he realized he was about to die. #Monsterdon
Should have ended on a freeze frame high five #monsterdon
"Go away you silly English bed-wetters, or I shall taunt you a second time!" #monsterdon
A rock that size would probably weigh over two tons. #Monsterdon
I love the burning Dracula face. 10/10 best part of the movie.
#Monsterdon
#Monsterdon “Whilst the Count lives, time and space have little meaning.” That explains all the zooms and quick cuts.
AND OUR HEROES START A MASSACRE AT A FUNERAL what brave boys #Monsterdon
Everybody must get stoned. #Monsterdon #Dracula1970
are they gonna just drop a boulder on this thing like some kind of monty python episode??? hilarious. #monsterdon
Totally not buying 2 guys pushing a bounder
#monsterdon
what in the FUCK #monsterdon
Van Helsing recovered from his stroke remarkably quickly
This reminds me of the line from the Princess Bride. "There's a shortage of perfect breasts in the world." #monsterdon
Wouldn't Dracula feel through the Force that his apprentices are dead? Oh wait, wrong franchise
blood spray like when ur heavy that month and you stand up after sitting for two hours...
#monsterdon
"Time and space have little meaning." For all of us trapped watching this hellish movie, yes #Monsterdon
@flowerpot I'm guessing that's supposed to be sanctifying it so Dracula can't (safely) come back and use it again, but I dunno, I'm no expert on vampire lore
is there a reason Meena has to be recumbent the whole time, or...? #monsterdon
5 Minutes left!
#Monsterdon
Just a couple of lads, alone together in a castle, pounding some stakes 😏 #monsterdon
@Taweret i can't tell how much of my laughter is the noises are hilarious (at least half) and how much is relief the movie is clearly about to end #monsterdon
#monsterdon This is f disgusting of how bad it is
Edit: I know, they are vampires yadda yadda but tell me that the scene wasn't cringy as f
Those coffins or are they loading photon torpedoes? #Monsterdon
laughing at the noises the redheaded vamp is making as she dies #monsterdon
hammertime mate stop fucking around
Maybe instead of setting your house on fire, just keep a cross handy, Mr. “I’ve been studying the black arts”. #Monsterdon
Whew that's a hot poker
Another miraculous recovery in the hospital! The man in the wheelchair stands up, swings a hot poker, and supports the woman leaving the room. #monsterdon
Iceland? Norway? Sweden?
#monsterdon
#monsterdon watched this movie while playing minecraft yesterday, just like jesús franco intended it to be experienced. *potion sipping sounds*
Van Helsing is walking around real well for somebody who was, moments ago, wheelchair-bound after a stroke. #monsterdon
Lucy in the other Dracula movie I remember watching enjoyed herself a lot more. #monsterdon
#Monsterdon dracula why are you even going to the red light district if you're not gonna pick up hookers
the movie isn't quite done yet but on the #monsterdon scale I'm gonna say that it falls somewhere solidly below Godmonster of Indian Flats
Pretty sure those zingy sounding strings are zither, not harpsichord. Sorry to let you down #monsterdon
@athena_rising I'm pretty sure there was a stuffed womprat in the taxidermy collection. #monsterdon
#Monsterdon Renfield is feeling Hungary at the moment.
On the Black Sea, yep. Modern Bulgaria. ...I think semi-controlled by the Ottomans at the time?
Man Renfield is a real grind, he needs to payoff and do something exceptional to redeem himself
#monsterdon
its like in q the winged serpent when moriarty was doing this great performance in the middle of a terrible movie. thats kinski rn
#Monsterdon Why does this porter have a fez? I mean, it’s very fetching, but…
#monsterdon No Kinskishaming
The fiance is handling the death of his betrothed, and then having to dig a shovel blade into her corpse's neck, remarkably well
So at the climax of the film Renfield tears off his restraints and throws Dracula into an active volcano, right? #Monsterdon
urrrgghh, I forget there was a race across Europe to come....the pacing.....
this movie could have been an email
the real antagonist of the film is having absolutely zero survival instincts #monsterdon
This concert is like the Whos of Whoville singing carols after a hearty Christmas meal of roast beast #Monsterdon
LOOK OUT MR LINCOLN!
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970
Then they thought I'd had enough. Hah ha ha.
YES WE HAVE ALL HAD ENOUGH. END IT QUICKLY. END IT
dracula, you don't have to kidnap me. i will happily leave this concert with you
Wait, Van Helsing just had an offscreen mild stroke? C’mon, movie, are you just throwing stuff in for fun now? You know you can edit, right? #monsterdon
I'm simply amazed by how little action and tension this movie manages to have. #Monsterdon
How did Van Helsing end up in a wheelchair? What did I miss?
The Opera! It's a trap!
We've built up to a triple zoom just before the taxidermy scare. What could be next for us?
Wait, why didn't we see Van Helsing's stroke??
It's a medical miracle. He's cured and the neck brace is gone! This hospital is amazing.
#monsterdon
why is Van Helsing in a wheelchair, is this a ruse I missed?
@Newpa_Hasai oof that would almost make too much sense
If only Van Helsing had told them how to sanctify anything
sanctify yourself too
i mean it's a pretty good song so you might as well
lol, classic Victorian prostitutes
AN OSTRICH!? #Monsterdon
They really should've credited their puppeteers, this is some Henson-level genius here :D
Really makes the *checks notes* decayed swordfish on a stick come a live. #Monsterdon
If you've ever eaten at a Jekyll & Hyde, it's basically like this except also the badger head does some insult comedy #monsterdon
Scary off screen sounds!
Wait wtf? Dracula controls a wax museum of animals?
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970
@allanb a ha ha ha ha
but the owl is a close second because the person shaking it really just is going for it
badger badger badger badger
Did Dracula have his taxidermy sent from his castle to London, but still not dusted
Ooh, the Fox is back. But with a well lit zooom #monsterdon
That does not sound like a small caliber weapon
#monsterdon
ok timestamp to go back and clip the animal closeup montage this is going on for SO LONG #monsterdon
fantastic mr. skunk fantastic mr. owl fantastic mister.. uh.. swordfish no?
The menagerie. Very scary. #Monsterdon
Guys, you're hunting a vampire. A taxidermied fox is not that scary. #Monsterdon
taxidermy sequence, activate!
the zooms are hilarious every time tho
1, 2, 3 -- 3 looks of surprise!
#monsterdon
a huge thing most people miss about hunting draculas is that you should do it during the day #monsterdon
Did Dracula bring the creepy stuffed creatures with him, or did they come with the house?
Goddam I was just thinking what this movie really needed was some shitty lit shitty taxidermy
The scariest thing is how the actress playing Lucy was killed in a road accident a few months after this film was released #monsterdon
@yatsu Pretty sure I heard a dolphin back there. #Monsterdon
there is not a single normal animal noise in this movie, is there. #monsterdon
The monkeys made it to England! #monsterdon
