#monsterdon "Nothing could prevent me from bringing all of humanity under my control."
Uh, maybe don't write about your in-progress evil plans in the past tense.
#monsterdon Oh, she's got an outlet right next to her coffin! That's convenient!
No bats were harmed in the making of this mov…
One bat was harmed in the making of this movie.
#monsterdon I honestly like this understated Dr Frankenstein.
He's really playing against type.
He's stealing blood to reanimate Dracula, and he's just going about it in an entirely businesslike and detached, clinical way.
Too bad he's not in focus in this shot.
#monsterdon I like that one guy who immediately tried to fight Frankenstein.
No hesitation. As soon as the monster appeared, that guy lunged.
Transparent aluminum? #monsterdon
awesome, it's time for Moulin Rouge! Let's stay at the dank bony club a little longer shall we?
The bat keeps changing which animal it's impersonating.
(dramatic music continues) it sure does
It's fun to be there when Phil the cameraman learns what zoom does
How to tell if you are watching a 1970s film:
Is the camera operator CONSTANTLY fucking around with the zoom?
Y - you are watching a 70s film
N - you might be watching a 70s film
We survived!! 😓
Ethpanyoles, historically, cannot shut the fuck up about the moon and stars or whatever floats their boat when singing. the choices in this movie are interesting.
#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein #DraculaContraFrankestein
just for the record, Forbidden Planet is still on my hard drive, because that culture I will preserve....
I guess it ended
I think that earns the distinction of being my least favorite so far. That movie made LASERBLAST look like it had a plot
Thanks for the laughs #monsterdon pals. As far as the film, brutal. Take care. See ya soon.
#monsterdon What? Last time he died he turned into a dead bat!
Okay pretty sure he's actually wearing the plastic fake vampire teeth we all had as a kid
Like we can't all recognize that treasured childhood memory
HIS TEETHS SO CLEAN YES WHO'S A GOOD DOGGO
Ooooooo, she has pretty flecks of hazel in her blue eyes, that's neat
(literally nothing else is happening that's all I have to look at)
#monsterdon I want doctor Seward to say "Ok, but if Wolfman can't get the job done, do you know how I can contact the Creature from the Black Lagoon?"
:bing: Dr. Seward sporting a real poncho or a Sears poncho
Never mind I take back what I said about an ad break, this little caesar's ad just felt the need to both a) use GOAT, b) explain to me what GOAT means
There is no escape only suffering
#monsterdon I love how most characters only speak when their lips are off-screen.
#monsterdon Doctors love being cured by folk healers.
@springdiesel If you want to know what you missed, it was a lot of screaming. #monsterdon
BTW whomever is in charge of the cinematography, watched one too many Franco Zeffirelli movies.
#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein #DraculaContraFrankestein
#monsterdon I know you've got to start somewhere, but if your goal is to enslave the entire world, and you've only got three slaves so far, you need to pick up the pace.
@josh0
It's ok. I wrote it all the dialog down. Here it is, in approximate order:
aaahhhhaa!
Hyah!
Arrrrrrgh
Eeeeeeaaaaeeeee!
#monsterdon
@steggy @Zerofactorial
i cant believe this movie is trying to outtacky the hammer movies. that’s a really high bar for low-budget tackiness.
#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein #DraculaContraFrankestein
Y'know, film, I think you've set enough TEXTURE, maybe it's time to move on to SUBSTANCE. #Monsterdon
So uh, still not a Bechdel pass, right?
this woman right now: "Did I leave the iron on?"
there's so much nothing happening. I'm going to go make some popcorn
because then at least I will have popcorn
I recognize the music. It's borrowed/stolen from somewhere else. #monsterdon
look i am choosing to believe they are giving the bat some delicious sugar water, ok?
Yes. Delicious sugar water for bat. Nothing else. La la la.
These motherfuckers better not have drowned a real bat to make this
Lost joke opportunity: when the doc stakes him with the tiny hammer, Dracula’s leg should have popped up.
My favorite scene in this movie so far is the one where the guy in the tavern was grunting and handing a main character a note. Very glad that they included that.
She's singing about the lunch specials. #Monsterdon
LMAO so to save money on screenwriters and dubbing services, they’re using pieces of paper to communicate. i can’t even…
#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein #DraculaContraFrankestein
You know, if you're going to go this light on dialog, you'd think that when you have people say things that those things would contribute to the movie in some way
I AM READY TO KILL THAT DAMN BAT MYSELF 😂😂
Ooh, back at the dank bony club, he's gotta keep on dancing
and he’s just going into a creepy castle, without asking if he can come in, because of course that’s what even the lightly hued would do.
rude.
#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein #DraculaContraFrankestein
Could he have found a SMALLER hammer? Ha ha!
Okay I really love horses but this is a surprising lot of their bums
Fun fact: There is more then just zooming as options for shots
#monsterdon
POV: you're getting a vision of Dracula
This is about when it got to the point where it didn't matter what the movie was about, as long as it had 'dracula' and/or 'frankenstein' in the title. "Dracula, Frankenstein's barber". #monsterdon
Ask not for whom the bell tolls. Unless you're Frankenstein, then it's probably for you.
I was right! I could put this #Monsterdon flick on the TV and pay absolutely no attention whatsoever to it! Frankly, why should I be any different than the people who made this terrible movie?
Still, I’m thankful that it let me have a productive evening.
I wish I’d paid enough attention to see that hearse again so that I could figure out what it was. I don’t think I can watch this a second time, but maybe I can catch it by fast forwarding.
#monsterdon I've traded a dusty film about wahever it was for a cat on my chest. LOL!
It’s pretty clear to me the primary villain of this film was Dr. Frankenstein, but I wonder if the filmmakers wanted us to see the monsters as the villains instead. How would an audience have perceived it 50 years ago?
As always, thanks to @Taweret for hosting, to @Cherizilla for #MonsterdonBingo, and to all of you for making it fun!
Until next time, cheers!
So the moral of the story:
if something is not going well – like your army of world-dominating vampires is running into werewolves - just torch that shit and try again some other time.
I think I understand how The Castle of Fu Manchu turned out the way it did now. Compared to THIS, that was a crowd-pleasing middle of the road action film. #Monsterdon
lol, never has a Monsterdon movie been so quickly deleted after watching it!
#monsterdon What an absurdly low-rent movie.
DID YOU EVEN SAY THANK YOU
My favorite part of the fight is the werewolf jumping at the frankenstein monster, or maybe that was the other way around. But it was just a jump. Not like an attack jump, just a jump.
"We don't have flaming torches, we can only afford the smoking ones"
oh my god the extended orgasm noise for Frankenstein
I am not sure if those noises were dubbed over for English or if only the dialogue was, but oh my god in the Spanish cut…
@ricci Godmonster of Indian Flats was a better love story than Twilight
so, is Blondie for or against Frankenstein?
btw, Francisco Franco was still Ethpain’s dictator when this movie was made.
so Francoethtein?
#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein #DraculaContraFrankestein
Budget Hitchcock is furious with them
#monsterdon So, wolfman and frankenstein walk into a room..
@paco is that Obi-Wan Kenobi behind them? These are not the extras you are looking for
I kinda want to go back through this movie and count the number of actual lines of spoken dialogue. I'm not sure it'd crack double digits. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon The faith healer was attacked off-camera? That means she didn't even get to make five minutes of panicked groans!
Oh man, lady, do NOT eat Torgo, surely there's something crawling on the ground that'll be a more hygenic meal for you D: #Monsterdon
Angelina Jolie rises for the midnight shift... #Monsterdon
@_L1vY_ Just 15 more minutes. You can do this! We all can. We must. #monsterdon
#monsterdon Did she say "The Wolfman"?
Oh yeah, I guess he was on the poster. I forgot about that.
I'm not sure how Dr. Frankenstein is "controlling" Dracula exactly
"The foley work is terrible... but.... you must be strong. you will save us. you will bring us to the end of the film"
At least it will help until we get him to the hospital where they can apply an ascot
...The soul of your ancient *dentist*? Did I hear that right? #Monsterdon
the sun, the moon, the... green water?!?!?!?!
They all sleep with their eyes open so I guess death gives you great abs AND alleviates dry eyes
"OK, you are going to need to rise from the coffin very, very slowly.
"Oh, and stare RIGHT into the Fresnel while you do that. It's gonna make you blind and you won't know what you're doing, but, just try walking forward a couple of steps. The stumbling will only make it look more realistic."
So is Doctor Frankenstein writing a report for the Amway home office or something? #Monsterdon
So she's institutionalized, but still allowed an underwire bra? #Monsterdon
Oh yeah baby, shoot me up with the good stuff doctor. I'm up after her, c'mon I need it to get through this film. #Monsterdon
so Viejo Verdenstein is creating an army of super soldiers that will help him take over the world.
so, the Winter Soldier with no Captain America, nor The Avengers but lots of tacky vampires
#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein #DraculaContraFrankestein
"And now my powers were limitless!"
...Apparently? ¯\_(:/)_/¯ #Monsterdon
After some light necrophilia, the servant is carrying Dracula back to his coffin; I guess the lab is in Dracula's castle that the Hunter visited before. He does not kiss the Dracula, even though the Dracula is also dead.
But then the camera turns to a second coffin, from which a Vampire Babe emerges. Was she also brought back to life? Is she the doctor's dead wife? Or was she just a passing Vampire Babe?
What? Wait, hold up, who's THIS chick? #Monsterdon
At some point, someone will make a facial expression in this movie that makes sense with what's going on in the movie
Haha JK
Okay, so I extremely like how the dracula resurrection machine involves putting the Extremely Loud Dead Bat into a vial and then dripping cabaret girl blood on it, and as the blood drips on it it comes back to life and starts thrashing and screaming.
Okay, NOW the bat is not having a good time and neither am I
I must admit I have no idea what they are doing or why but this movie is not interested in even trying to explain. Things just "happen"
#monsterdon
Whoops, found the one gay guy in the audience. He's critiquing her fringe. #Monsterdon
