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! 🐺

“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

"I don't speak English. Speak slowly." Continues to speak in perfect english with advanced handling of grammar and vocabulary. #Monsterdon

That zoom after Count Dracula's name 💯

#monsterdon

It's like Kung Fu Saturday and #monsterdon blended. Monster movie with Hong-Kong quality dubbing.

@Jason844 seriously, that sounds like the TRUE horror tonight. #Monsterdon
@Elleaster

OK I can do without that train horn screech

#Monsterdon #CountDracula1970

Excuse me, do you speak English?

Where did you GET those MUTTON CHOPS?

#monsterdon

They're seeing off the English explorer from the other movie. See you at the center of the earth! #Monsterdon

starring also, this man's mutton chops. wow. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Loving the collage of multinational names, set to pipe organ.

that guy hates that bell so much #monsterdon

mise en scene, this is actually a cooking show. what kind of dinner would dracula make... #monsterdon

Organ music to hurt your ears
#monsterdon

what a great castle. honestly i would be satisfied with a movie of Dramatique Castle Shots With Gothic Musique. #monsterdon

I’m going to visit Count Dracula.

DRAMATIC CLOSEUP

I was disappointed there was no DUN DUN DUUUUUNNN!! #Monsterdon

Time to count some Draculas

#Monsterdon

#MonsterdonAlert

#monsterdon

GO GO GO!!!

@ramsey Oh, that's not in the book. That's how I interpret the fixed-stare, finger-clenching scene and cut to next scene with him in a wheelchair and I *think* he mentioned a small stroke. #CountDracula #Monsterdon

@bk1e @overholt No money for a Demeter set in this movie! #CountDracula #Monsterdon

@brooke Disgusting movie-Denethor!!! You couldn't pay me to go near him when he's eating. Blech. #LOTR #Monsterdon

@jonny @moira @whknott you're watching goat boy on SNL?! #Monsterdon

@whknott @jonny @moira I hear the director may have some kinda goat vs boat confusion... people are saying... #Monsterdon

@diazona @kcarr2015 I worry about duck draculas! #Monsterdon

@jonny it's like the had full access to all the animatronic rejects from the Disneyland haunted house it was fantastic! #Monsterdon

@otheorange_tag @kcarr2015 Gonzo, of course, would give a fully proper dramatic buildup to biting Jonathan (played by Kermit) only to realize that he doesn't have any teeth

#Monsterdon #Muppets

#monsterdon okay mystery solved- it looks like Damien Thomas was the Fallon in Twins of Evil, whereas this Fallon was played by Fred Williams.

@_L1vY_ He fancy. #Monsterdon

@jonny Tragically, this movie cut the part from the book where Mina uses her excellent clerical skills to research house sale records to figure out and tell the guys where Dracula's holed up. There could have been a records room montage! OTOH, then the guys cut her out of the rest of the action and treat her like she's brainless, so, plus/minus. #Monsterdon #CountDracula

@diazona @kcarr2015 #StartsThrowingMoney #Monsterdon

@bk1e @Configures @overholt maybe this was a goat vs boat? sitch? #Monsterdon

@ramsey @Crazypedia After this summer, I think I can imagine! #monsterdon

@lytta In the book, both Dracula and Lord Godalming (Lucy's fiancee in the book) bribe officials to get what they want. Corruption on both sides. although that's not the tone in the book; the protagonists are glad they have Godalming on their side. #Monsterdon #CountDracula

@ShiitakeToast @Crazypedia And if that mosquito is the size of an eagle. #Monsterdon

@Configures Ah, okay. That makes sense. It’s been a while since I read the book, and I didn’t make that connection tonight, since the characters were rarely commenting on these things. #Monsterdon

@moira @jonny They had monty python do a goat job on a goldfish? #Monsterdon

@ramsey Don't trust Van Helsing with your valuables, including your peeps. King Laugh, indeed. #Monsterdon #CountDracula

@kcarr2015 oh well, at least they had a ... waait for it... Concrete plan?! --dad #Monsterdon

#monsterdon “Just toss the Fin card, we're done.” And that was Dracula from 1970! Thanks to @Taweret@octodon.social for a lovely chance to throw tomatoes!

So that movie I mentioned is The Last Voyage Of The Demeter (2023). It’s streaming on Paramount+ and a few other services.
#Monsterdon

@jonny wait that was supposed to be a _goat_?! I honestly couldn't tell.

#Dracula1970 #monsterdon #mastoween

@jonny I interpreted this story to be about an immigrant who tried to move into a nice neighborhood, only to be driven out by hate and bigotry. #Monsterdon

@_L1vY_ one one concrete block ah ah ah! #SomeoneElseStartedIt #Monsterdon

Funny how he put his name on his coffin like it was a bagged lunch in the office fridge. #Monsterdon

@paco “Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!” #Monsterdon

@RamenCatholic and the rest of him! #Bam --dad #Monsterdon

@iaintshootinmis He’s a Time Lord. #Monsterdon

Thank you for another fun #Monsterdon @Taweret! 😁 Looking forward to this month's line up

@SnoopJ I missed the goat in the Animals Attack scene! There was so much going on. #CountDracula #Monsterdon

@moira @jchaven

#Monsterdon

TL;DR of tonight's #Monsterdon : there were some sweet harpsichord riffs and maybe other things happened

FIN

Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everyone for posting! Looking forward to next week... I swear....

After much faffing about the professor and his team of vampire slayers found ol' Drac and killed him with fire

THE END

You know I never appreciated how strongly inspired Richard O'Brien must have been by the professor and Renfield from this #Monsterdon when creating Dr. Scott and Rocky Horror respectively. Thanks for another fun and insightful one @Taweret !

@adhdeanasl The futures so bright I gotta wear sha.... #poof nevermind. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon when in doubt, set it on fire

this usually works out well in monsterdon fims

If some dude drops a rock on you from a battlement, you may be entitled to a settlement #monsterdon

@himbovoorhees 100% see that #monsterdon

If you're reading this, you're at the tail end of a long stream of posts on the feed about #Monsterdon, a fediverse community movie-watching event. This week we watched COUNT DRACULA (1970).

See the post at the top of this thread for more info:

https://hachyderm.io/@SnoopJ/111004128276431553

@ShiitakeToast oooh I like Coraline though, I gotta watch that one again

#Monsterdon

@randy_s I'm seeing live cows?! flung? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Great choice, @Taweret , and thanks for ushering us into the spooky spirit with a highly appropriate monster. I mean, of course, Klaus Kinski.

God damn what a gender #Monsterdon

nosferatu = dracula but he's bald and has depression

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon *drops a rock on a horse*

So nothing happened and killing a vampire is easy. Got it.

Thanks all for joining tonight! This was a terrible Dracula but it doesn’t matter, because it’s about the friends we make along the fedi! #monsterdon

@himbovoorhees hey drac, buddy... you okay?!... #Monsterdon

Hopefully the next Draculas will be better than this one. Thanks @Taweret for hosting! #monsterdon
