#Monsterdon #CountDracula

@trixter this is a movie about weird (to the victorians) sex, after all. #monsterdon

@trixter That's a constant in every adaptation. #Monsterdon

That building is not convincing me as "Victorian London", where's the grim and soot?

#monsterdon

the real estate company has gotta be so pissed that the protagonist hasn't closed the sale yet. dracula is probably a big client and they haven't gotten any word in days #monsterdon

Usually something actually has to happen to cause someone to faint, right? Not just random screams from the next room?

This lady with the brown hair seems like a bit of a lightweight

#Monsterdon

Looks like I’m not the only one; Dr. Seward had his hands all over Mina. Things were different back in the day, I reckon.
#Monsterdon

Yea clearly there are only two choices, dream or lie.
#monsterdon

Oh, a box. I thought he was reaching for more "paint." #monsterdon

*swoon* by the woman with the adorable nose

#Monsterdon

This lady fucking faints and he holds her up by the BOOBS? #Monsterdon

Aww man total unabashed boob cupping there
#monsterdon

Great catch doc

#Monsterdon
#CountDracula1970

i've been spoiled by winona ryder as mina, i'm having a hard time with her as a blonde. #monsterdon

#monsterdon stream: what if Jackson Pollock only painted Pollock.

A conjugal Menage-a-trois!
#monsterdon

Kinski was a real piece of work...recommend reading up about him if you haven't previously.

#monsterdon

Please allow me to put in a word for "Renfield" starring Nicholas Cage. Very enjoyable.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Establishing shot is established.

So, the sun is coming into Refield's rubber room -- from below?!?

#monsterdon

“It’s a dog, dumbass”
#monsterdon

I hope he leaves a poor rating on his AirBNB castle.

#Monsterdon

I still love Dwight Fyre's Renfield best. #monsterdon

Kinski is so ugly but also you can't take your eyes off him

#monsterdon

@strangefour Great Value Vincent Price.

#monsterdon

This movie could use more harpsichord.

#Monsterdon #CountDracula

they just filmed Klaus Kinski at home going through his morning routine #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “Nobody’s going to hurt you.” Except possibly Werner Herzog.

yes, I did look away from the screen before he ate the fly, because i love myself #monsterdon

It had been a psychiatric hospital, then they opened the co-op art studio next door. Now nobody can remember which building is which. #monsterdon

@SesameSquirrel this #Monsterdon is so ahead of it's time with all the "doing Zoom with the built in camera on my laptop" shots

#Monsterdon "Dracula" *zoom* "Dracula?" *scream* "Dracula."

And then there's this asshole.
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Note to facilities:
Replace one wall in rubber room 12
#monsterdon

Krazy KLaus #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Kinski as Renfield, PERFECT casting.

Renfield looking like the second-to-last boss in a Final Fantasy game. #monsterdon

WHY would you give TOMATO SOUP to the prisoner in a WHITE ROOM #Monsterdon

I am completely lost, maybe I was supposed to read the book to understand what the hell just happened

he ran out of the castle and got lost in the woods, then found and transported back to Van Helsing's pad?

#Monsterdon

CAPTAIN NEMO!? What a crossover.
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

With great teeth comes great responsibility
-Batman
#monsterdon

Opening a stranger's casket...nosy little fscker ain't he? #Monsterdon

Hey it's whatshisface
#monsterdon

And of course the Hungarians knew to mail him to Van Helsing's clinic. #monsterdon

Ah, they cut that scene with Dracula's wives short.

I remember reading the book when I was around 13 and getting an inexplicable tingly feeling about that part.

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

The more things in this movie that are exactly the book, the more mad I am that Harker didn't eat the paprika hendl

#Monsterdon

like Drac is just sleeping with his own theme music blasting in a soundproof coffin.

I love that for him

#Monsterdon

maybe it's okay, maybe he didn't wake up

#Monsterdon

@Taweret@octodon.social so rude #monsterdon

Why did our hero open that crypt? What inspired him to just open a random grave? #monsterdon

And now we're back to SPOOKY PICCOLOS, leading up to COUNT IN A COFFIN GASP WHO COULD HAVE FORESEEN

#Monsterdon

absolutely no explanation was given for why he's looking inside a coffin. or how he found it #monsterdon

a little behind so now I get the "baby back ribs" joke in the dracula #Monsterdon

lol, how long was that doctor just sitting there, staring at him?

#monsterdon

oh great apparently while i was looking up castle maintenance tasks the protagonist got bitten and has discovered the secret of the draculas #monsterdon

No, absolutely not. Put the candelabra down RIGHT NOW and straighten those up or I'm going to be thinking of nothing else whenever it's on screen. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970 Mr. Harker there is giving me JD V*nce vibes. What is his stance on childless bat ladies?

@allanb because the spiders aren't using it, duh

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

A lot is happening in the movie, but I'm mainly focusing on this chain situation. #monsterdon

@trixter "This man is MINE"

Me: Oh HO? #Monsterdon

The height of these candles

#Monsterdon

Aw yeah man on man biting

#monsterdon

Oh shit they gonna eat that baby.
Dracula brought a snack for his brides.
Because he thinks Harker is more of a snack, "He's mine girls."
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Aaaand he falls to his death, the end. #Monsterdon

The window OPENS!? Then why did he spend so much time peeking through the scratch? #monsterdon

OMG the lighting sucks so bad
#monsterdon

oh good lordy those bite marks actually look like they could be spider bites #monsterdon

Dracula turned into a hawk?

#monsterdon
#CountDracula

i don't even know how many adaptations of this novel ive seen but this is not one of the better ones so far

#monsterdon

see clearly he invested too much into hot babe subvampires and not into creatures who know how to like insulate the castle and periodically assess the foundation. maybe you even imprison the soul of some villager into a creature that likes to eat the spiderwebs so it's a mutualistic relationship and you don't even need to think about it, just autoplay your castle maintenance
#monsterdon

Vampire babes try to snack on Harker, are driven off by Drac, and one of them runs over to nab a nearby baby, presumably the one we just saw a lady weeping about...

... except that alleged "baby" sounds like a cat.

FOLEY TEAM I HAVE QUESTIONS

#Monsterdon

Super imposed brides of Dracula? Are they supposed to be ghosts?
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

#monsterdon The secret lives of Dracula's wives

#Monsterdon Back, you horny nibblers!

first ad break, for zipper cooter— er i mean zip recruiter #monsterdon

Explaining this to his fiancee

"and I came too on the floor and these three women, whom I did not find attractive, were all over me...."

#monsterdon

Don’t we all want our baby back…gimme my baby back ….
#monsterdon

I just noticed he has pocketwatch chains on both the right AND left front pockets of his waistcoat. Just in case he needs to very quickly double-fist some pocketwatches. #monsterdon

I want my baby back baby back baby back

#monsterdon

but really what new home buyer hasn’t wanted to imprison their realtor and drive them mad #Monsterdon

"I want my baby back!"

...ribs

#Monsterdon

is that a tiny wee ghost lady in the fireplace?

#monsterdon

GASP! A SPIDER! #monsterdon

Oh and then shrieking and a shaky camera. I might have missed an animal there.

I've died. I'm dead. Good bye. Tell…Christopher Lee…I love him… #Monsterdon

There's no toilet in this suite!!!! #monsterdon

see giant bat > open window. listen, dude, you get what you get. #monsterdon

Remember when I made a miniature of the dinner Dracula serves to Harker: cheese, salad, sweet wine, and roast chicken

#Monsterdon

OK, now that's not a bat
#monsterdon

If I'm a guest in Dracula's castle, I'm kind of expecting more from the bedroom than basically an Econolodge. #monsterdon

This movie's heard of subtlety and will have no further truck with it thank you VERY much. #Monsterdon

That is one fake-ass spider in the foreground there. #Monsterdon

"CHildren of the niiight... What music they make."
Eeeh Lugosi delivers that line better.
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

omg that bat shadow 😂

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Also, this dialog in the book, superb. The scary thing about the book's Dracula is not the vampire thing, is that he is a smart as f mf that goes one hundred steps ahead of you. Again, another passage I recommend, the dialog at the library. My guy had the Wikipedia in tomes there

Johnathan, if I were locked in a room with a spider the size of a New York Subway rat, I’d rather take a bat to the face, too. #Monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai ethnically hungry, more like

#Monsterdon

CHristopher Lee having fun chewing on his little soliloquy.
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

"The power of life and death over a living being..."

You see because I'M A VAMPIRE #Monsterdon

The Christopher Lee monologue showpiece contrasting with whatever the heck they though they were doing with the bad wolf noises 😭 also the camera has the zoomies #monsterdon

"Listen to them. The children of the night. What music they make" Mostly Emo and occasionally some Ska. #Monsterdon #Dracula1970
