Van Helsing had a book about Dracula the whole time...

...why did anything in this movie happen 🤦

#Monsterdon

Organ music FTW!
#monsterdon

In my search for the secrets for the black arts, I found this. May I share it? Van Helsing puts on a record. Blackstreet starts playing. #Monsterdon

and yet i feel i know him

biblically

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

lol yeah sure, vampires are terrified of cops #monsterdon

Is it me or is that blood too red? Like it looks arterial and there is no way vampires drink from arteries rather than veins. No unless the coagulant in their saliva is way beyond what I assumed it was.

#TooMuchScience #Monsterdon

"Perhaps it is not too late for me to act. "

Yeah only two of your patients have tragically died, you've still got dozens more. No rush.

#Monsterdon

not even a second of mourning for lucy. like did the other woman even get to tell them that she saw a guy turn into a bat #monsterdon

"It is a sign" Yeah and it reads "You're a REALLY SHITTY DOCTOR. #Monsterdon #Dracula1970

yes for the love of god please start acting

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

I also have my hair in an elaborate updo and wear a pink brocade robe when I am hanging out with the gals #monsterdon

"she's dead"
not for long.
#monsterdon

Put coins on here eyes!
#monsterdon

Camera operator suddenly realizes they're on the wrong side of the bed to film Dracula's arrival and awkwardly shuffles to the side. #monsterdon

Little known fact: Benjamin Button is a vampire movie
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon badger badger badger badger

The filmmakers want you to be as interested in Lucy’s nostrils as they are. #monsterdon

It’s the worst when you fall 40 feet out of a window and land right on your funny bone. #Monsterdon

The doctor, in Lucy's room, with the candlestick!

#Monsterdon #CountDracula

#Monsterdon Lucy, your dark circles are taking up half your face. Get some sleep, gal.

This film is just CLOSEUPS and ZOOM-INS ON TEETH AND EYEBALLS #Monsterdon

LUCY is making the same face I make when I realize I have to clock back in on Monday. #Monsterdon

It's time to admit that Lucy has a drinking problem.

#Monsterdon

bars on window: you had ONE JOB

literally

#Monsterdon

if you were a dracula would you want to spread out your blood sources so you get a little blood from many people or would you want to cultivate a stable of blood people. there seem to be costs and benefits to both so i would bet dracula society would have a variety of strategies and customs across different cliques of draculas #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Renfield: no holds barred. (And no bars held.)

Dracula has lived so long and stuffed all of his exotic pets.
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

I think the blurry taxidermy fox in the background might be the creepiest thing in this movie #monsterdon

it's been an hour but I feel like the events that have taken place so far fit on a sticky note

#Monsterdon

Renfield falling from the window had very Monty Python energy.

#monsterdon

@diazona I think it's the only way I'd ever go up in a plane again. #monsterdon

honestly he could get all the drinks he could want if he'd just post FREE PALLETS U-HAUL FROM BASEMENT on craigslist

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

"I study Black Art". Dude you took that one art appreciation class in college.#monsterdon

men will do anything to justify a zoom lens purchase instead of going to therapy #monsterdon

Poor vampire got so tuckered out he couldn't even make it to his coffin bed.

#Monsterdon

lol @ Renfield falling from the asylum like a costume stuffed with rags....

#monsterdon

@Lazarou This sounds not dissimilar to the best of air travel

#Monsterdon

@blogdiva watching Attack of The Clones with the kid while I read #monsterdon threads tonight 🤝

#monsterdon Kinski is on a different movie and that is the movie I would have liked for it to be

OMG CLOSEUP ON A

metal bar

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “I made a study of the black arts.” Ah, so he’s been to grad school.

Van Helsing looks out the window as he’s speaking, vaguely points as he says, “the mountains in the north…of Transylvania…”

Aren’t they back in England?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “Once as sane as you or I.” … not a high bar, there, doc.

I did not check "doesthedragonflydie dot com" tonight. ☹️

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Being engaged doesn't make you the same blood type. #monsterdon

Now look, I'm not saying I want to stay in a padded room, but that looks *super* comfortable.

#Monsterdon

I don't like this part of fantasy Island.
#Monsterdon

@SRLevine To gain their life-force, per the book. Though really, he's supposed to feed the flies to spiders, feed the spiders to birds? rats? Something bigger, and then eat them. He got ahead of himself. #Monsterdon #CountDracula

None of the characters in this movie appear to have any introspection about what’s going on whatsoever. They’re just…there. Letting events happen to them.

#Monsterdon

This overdressed night guard at the asylum has weirdly Matt Berry energy.

#monsterdon

Klaus Kinski's 'mad delirium face' is just his 'innocent joy face'

#monsterdon

Theyre going to blow the speakers out of the surround. Why is it from 0db to Renfield screaming loud enough to break the sound barrier. #monsterdon

We don't *know* she's enthralled, who wouldn't let 1970s Christopher Lee bite them in a sensual manner

#Monsterdon

@Victorsigmoid Well I'm not joking about the death part so that's the risk...

Odds are more complex since some people can receive from everyone and some are more limited (and the blood type vs. +/- are two different issues) and I almost failed statistics and probability in college (which wasn't exactly recent). Someone else is going to have to do the math on this one.

#Monsterdon

Listen, if they gave Lucy a transfusion from her dude and then Dracula bit her, does that count as like an indirect kiss with her fiance? #Monsterdon

Hey, @Taweret gets her wish, time for more Klaus

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Now now, no necking on set.

This got way sexier than I was prepared for. That bat can exanguinate with the best of them. #monsterdon

But donating blood is not a joke, consider donating a pint of blood today

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970 #GiveBlood #Blooddrive #redcross

if you appear to me at my window as a bat and then transform into a guy i am at least going to hear you out #monsterdon

Dracula has been using just for men!
Or rubbing the blood in his mustache?
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

#monsterdon 🎶 When the zither sounds like shite you'll be filmed in day-for-night

GIRL HOW MANY ANACHRONISTIC AQUA BLUE NIGHTGOWNS DID YOU PACK #monsterdon

Did they just zoom in on the plaster to the side of the window? #Monsterdon

Oh good. More “Lucy” ad nauseam. #Monsterdon

Lucy . . . Goosey ~
Lucy . . . lefty . . . Righty . . . !?
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

the whooshing noise is so funny, audio team going wild

#Monsterdon

lord dude, just visit her room, you know where it is. a better vampire would have busted through the window and kidnapper her by now. #monsterdon

Why are bats making digeridoo sounds

#monsterdon

The makers of the film #Dracula have clearly never seen bats OR blood. That's kinda disqualifying for making a vampire film. #monsterdon

I'm going to assume that the digeridoo is diegetic and played by Dracula in bat form.

#Monsterdon

IS that a didgeridoo?

#monsterdon

He's her fiance so of course he will have compatible blood for a transfusion for sure #Monsterdon

Blood transfusions without checking for blood type first!

Instant death!

Yes!

#Monsterdon

i'm gonna fall asleep tonight in bed and be hearing "Lucyyyyyy...." over and over again aren't i

#monsterdon

That's quite the howdy do!

Yes you can give her a transfusion of your blood (hope it's a type match)

#Monsterdon
#CountDracula1970

TWO LITRE BOTTLES?! HOW MUCH DID THAT FUCKER DRINK?!

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

Blue coat, tan suit. Makes sense
#monsterdon

Oh, c'mon. VanHelsing and Dracula are neighbours. Is that a sitcom now?
#monsterdon

“I shall have to consult Professor Van Helsing… because a professor will know more about her condition than me, a doctor.”

#Monsterdon

#CountDracula1970 #Monsterdon

The art direction suits my 1970s recollections.

She's missing a lot of blood. It must be her monthlies. Her lack of children is making her hysteric! #monsterdon

Now Lucy's got the pox in addition to spontaneous fainting and sleep-walking.

#monsterdon

and Donald Sutherland as Bad Doctor #monsterdon

It’s called Visine, Count. Try some.
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🧛 ⚰️ 🦇 😱 💞

Not sure that Lucy should've slept in her false eyelashes and everything

Too much 🎶 screeeee 🎶 , not enough LEE #Monsterdon

this is the part of the soundtrack designed to drive off teens and make your dog upset

#Monsterdon

England looks just as much like Italy as Romania did. #Monsterdon #Dracula1970

"No bats were harmed in the making of this film." (because none were used)

Did anyone know that bats FLAP their wings?
#monsterdon

A bat just cruising around outside Lucy's window, u up? Haha just kidding. Unless,

#Monsterdon

No one is up to small talk on this movie
#Monsterdon

That big round window makes it look like they put her in the White Room at the Addams Family mansion. #Monsterdon

Lucy traveled several decades into the future to get that color of nightgown, I'm pretty sure #monsterdon

The only dialogue for 45seconds has been the word Lucy. What is happening. Is Lucy even a real word anymore? #Monsterdon

Good thing Lucy never travels without her sheer cerulean nightgown #monsterdon

didn't know vampire invites came with those mongolian mouth harp things. cool. #monsterdon

The screaming when the name “Dracula” is uttered is making me think of the horse whinnying in Young Frankenstein when Frau Blucher’s name is uttered and I can’t stop giggling about it. #Monsterdon

looooooooosy

loooooooooosy goooooooooosie
