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
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 cooterβ 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...."
Donβt we all want our baby backβ¦gimme my baby back β¦.
#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
but really what new home buyer hasnβt wanted to imprison their realtor and drive them mad #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. Tellβ¦Christopher Leeβ¦I love himβ¦ #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

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 π
#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, Iβd rather take a bat to the face, too. #Monsterdon
@Newpa_Hasai ethnically hungry, more like
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 π 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
"ZOOOOOOM" - the camera
my spouse: βLetβs take a moment to appreciate how good Christopher Lee is at ADRβ #monsterdon
The 70s really just did have a thing for zooming
PLEASE stop zooming in on the TEETH D: #Monsterdon
Lol this Dracula speech about his family is exactly like me talking to my real estate agent about how I've lived in Chicago for over a decade now in hopes that he would favor me over some imaginary client who's new to town #monsterdon
This is the best version of the vampire trope. Not rule-based and focused on specific βpowersβ, but mysterious, ancient, unknowable. #Monsterdon
Even Christopher Lee looking into the camera doesn't really work
#monsterdon
This is prime Lee. Perfect. No notes. *chef's kiss* #Monsterdon
look dude i don't want to hear about how much your "ancestors" came on the battlefield
#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween
#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween
The blood of many proud races flows in our veins
some of them even our own #Monsterdon
YOU ATE ATILLA THE HUN?!
"did you die, er, dine, already sir?"
You could fit an entire cow in that fireplace and yet he's got like three tiny logs burning. #Monsterdon #Dracula1970
Interview with the Dracula #Monsterdon
I will never hear a harpsichord ever again and not instantly think: Octopus. Thank you @Taweret and #Monsterdon!
#Monsterdon βThe house is in bad conditionβ¦β. Unlike his current picturesque residence.
boy really just asked Dracula "When did you move in?" #monsterdon
@moira Contained entirely within Dracula's kitchen? #Monsterdon
So even if you have zero knowledge of the occult, your rudimentary sense of physics should be screaming WTF? #monsterdon
The cobwebs perhaps should need some cleaning?
Oh and red velvet curtains
#monsterdon
Dracula makes good butler
Dracula answers his own door? What a basic bitch #monsterdon
gotta admit I was not expecting the bushy facial hair on dracula #monsterdon
@CactuarJoe with dogs
the facial hair in this movie, wow. #monsterdon
@rberlim@hachyderm.io ITβS ART!!!!
#monsterdon
Help me out; was that Christopher Lee or Sam Elliott?
#monsterdon WHO'S A GOOD BOI
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970 At least he's taking some Covid precautions, but seriously, guy - the handkerchief thing is out, N95s are the way to go now.
i wanna ride around in a lil carriage tho
Weβre only 14 minutes into this, and I want to fire the sound designer. #Monsterdon
The music is doing all of the acting right now innit?
Our driver apparently can cast Turn Canid
Why does this omnious music remind me of Powerhouse, the creepy montage music from Looney Tunes cartoons of the 50s?
#monsterdon Giant Octopus Music but it's wolves. No wait it's the theme from the third man...
#monsterdon The heck is that howl? Are these LLM wolves?
Some storms are rolling through central PA right now and the timing is π for this #Monsterdon
I assume the horses keep whinnying so intensely because someone has mentioned Frau Blucher. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon Disneyland has really upped their game on this new ride "Coach in the Woods."
Watch out for those wild Romanian forest primates they're pretty wicked #Monsterdon
D'aw, doggy! #Monsterdon
One thing I deduced about this genre (vampire films) -- they never translate well to movies
#monsterdon
Doggie!
There's a husky who REALLY wants some treats in those woods. #Monsterdon #Dracula1970
day-for-night doggies!
#monsterdon Serious note: The trip to the castle in the novel is the single best piece of horror I ever read in my entire life. Stoker knows how to create fear and suspense. No really, read that scene in the book and tell me if any movie has been able to make it justice
Frau Blucher!! #Monsterdon
I think the horses just ran over a dog. #Monsterdon
I see they started up the St Georges Night barbecue grill. A bit smoky. #monsterdon
Transylvania has howler monkeys?
The "may god protect you" guy is getting a little naggy.
"It gives both warmth.. And COURAGE"
SO SAYS THE SHADOWβ’ #Monsterdon
"If you're going to meet the Count, you probably want to have some of this first."
your creepy driver has arrived
so far it's sticking pretty close to the book #monsterdon
I'm gonna think about those German Shepherd wolves all night.
Also, Renfield smearing beans or poo or whatever on the wall is giving strong Tommy vibes.
@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net If you're rich and Victorian, you have to have a pet monkey. I don't make the rules.
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970
That's silly tweeting reminds me more of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang then Count Dracula
who left all these fog machines in the woods?
Dude's getting stalked by a fog machine #monsterdon
"We shall be there by nightfall"
My guy, I think I need to tell you something about the definition of "nightfall"
oh come on, look at that fog

#monsterdon
The speed of the scenery outside the carriage -- how fast are these horses going?
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970
#Monsterdon Dude, youβre a Londoner in a foreign town. And a lawyer. Of course they look at you funny.
Saint Georgeβs night. Bad night for dragons.
@ShiitakeToast hmm well the rest of us are about 8 minutes in - the guys just got into the carriage on the way to Count Dracula's castle
A lot of animal sounds and poor lighting in this movie
#monsterdon
