The sound of a dog who will not accept that its dinner time is five minutes hence.

"ZOOOOOOM" - the camera

#monsterdon

my spouse: “Let’s take a moment to appreciate how good Christopher Lee is at ADR” #monsterdon

The 70s really just did have a thing for zooming

#Monsterdon

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 “powers”, but mysterious, ancient, unknowable. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Wow. No reflection scene right off the bat. Runaway dude!

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?!

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

"did you die, er, dine, already sir?"

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

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

Let's eat at the table with the spiderwebs. Totally normal.

"Today on Hoarders..."

#Monsterdon

I will never hear a harpsichord ever again and not instantly think: Octopus. Thank you @Taweret and #Monsterdon!

#Monsterdon “The house is in bad condition…”. 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?

#monsterdon

Oh and red velvet curtains
#monsterdon

Dracula makes good butler

#monsterdon

"I shall await your pleasure."

How bold.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Deep Christopher Lee voice is making this work, amazingly.

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

#monsterdon

the facial hair in this movie, wow. #monsterdon

@rberlim@hachyderm.io IT’S ART!!!!
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Help me out; was that Christopher Lee or Sam Elliott?

#Monsterdon

#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

#monsterdon

We’re 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?

#monsterdon

Our driver apparently can cast Turn Canid

#Monsterdon

Why does this omnious music remind me of Powerhouse, the creepy montage music from Looney Tunes cartoons of the 50s?

#monsterdon

#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?

Dangerous wolves!

[clearly a shot of some relaxed German shepherds]

#Monsterdon

Some storms are rolling through central PA right now and the timing is 👌 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!

#Monsterdon

There's a husky who REALLY wants some treats in those woods. #Monsterdon #Dracula1970

day-for-night doggies!

#Monsterdon

#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?

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

The "may god protect you" guy is getting a little naggy.

#Monsterdon

"It gives both warmth.. And COURAGE"

SO SAYS THE SHADOW™ #Monsterdon

"If you're going to meet the Count, you probably want to have some of this first."

#Monsterdon

your creepy driver has arrived

#Monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon

Is this even supposed to be day for night? Are they even trying here? #Monsterdon #Dracula1970

@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

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

who left all these fog machines in the woods?

#monsterdon

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"

#Monsterdon

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, you’re a Londoner in a foreign town. And a lawyer. Of course they look at you funny.

Saint George’s 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

#Monsterdon

A lot of animal sounds and poor lighting in this movie
#monsterdon

When the locals fear something, you should at least take note #monsterdon

@jonny well a guy warned the other guy he's probably gonna die at dracula's place, and also the townsfolk were wearing REAL big tall covering scarves and mufflers #monsterdon

“I missed you last night?”

“I chose other company.”

That’s the sickest diss. #Monsterdon

camera's got the zoomies

#monsterdon

St. George's night sounds a lot like Walpurgis night. #monsterdon

Necks CONSPICUOUSLY covered #monsterdon

As usual, time to play "what crucial details or foreshadowing did jonny miss in the first 5 minutes because they went to get a snack that make the entire movie make sense" #monsterdon

Are... Are they shooting NIGHT FOR DAY??? #Monsterdon

So many unnecessary zooooooms!

#monsterdon

Miss, please don't look directly into the camera. Miss? Miss, please. #Monsterdon

So far everyone in this production has a "face that looks like they know what cell phones are" and this was before cell phones but you know what I mean. Right? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “Wake-up call for Monster Warning?”

@Lazarou preach!
#Monsterdon

Are there toucans in Romania?

#Monsterdon

COUNT D-!?
"You best better find god boy."
#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Good thing Dracula lives in a 1970s spackle-wall-covered ski lodge

#monsterdon

@Lazarou Relatable

(well, ish)

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #CountDracula
That howling dog sounds like he's passing av kidney stone. Someone please help him.

(hinges slowly creaking)

#monsterdon

This is how I sleep when I leave a DVD playing that has a menu with looping background music. #monsterdon

"We have prepared some...food for you" #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Arooooooooo! 🐺

@jammerb you might need god's help, but you're not getting mine. #monsterdon

“Why does everyone look at me like that?”

“Because, sir, the rooms are close together and you are the, how you say, sleep farter.”

#Monsterdon

And by may God preserve you we really mean you're boned. #monsterdon
