What's with the tiny little hammer?

#monsterdon

That guy may have shoved a needle in the lady's eye before, but it cut to black so we can't be sure. That's the extent of the action in the first 15 minutes. #monsterdon

Wow, we got to the staking real fast there.

Oh my god he only brought that dinky fucking little hammer and he's tapping away like—anyway

#Monsterdon

Ope. Looks like I woke from my nap just in time for being 15 minutes late for #Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

god, if that bird could scream above a howling gale I would shotgun it in the face it is clearly unnatural

#monsterdon

hey, here's a guy who actually knows where someone's heart is. #monsterdon

Just sitting down and primly going through his bag...

#monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

Tiniest vampire hammer ever.

#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

The bats in this impoverished country are too impoverished to use ultrasonic frequencies #monsterdon

getting out my tiny adorable vampire hunting hammer #monsterdon

Good thing he had that jewelers hammer. #Monsterdon

Subtitles: [Hinges Groaning]

If I was a hinge, cast in this thing, I'd groan too!

#monsterdon

( meanwhile, in the backrooms )

#monsterdon

That's your hammer? THAT'S your HAMMER?!

#monsterdon #draculaprisoneroffrankenstein

yaaaay he staked Dracula, movie's over

#Monsterdon

the sound effects should be accompanied by on screen comics bubbles like on the 60s batman show

#Monsterdon

What is the instrument they’re plucking? Is that an autoharp being plucked? I’ve heard similar sounds from an Appalachian stick dulcimer.

#Monsterdon

Wassa matta you Dracula?

#Monsterdon

Okay, who hasn't finished writing the script yet?
#monsterdon

What a tiny little hammer. I'd have a mallet.

#Monsterdon

Oops, my dude, are you sure you wanted to open that? #Monsterdon

"Oh, no you want Count DRACULA, he's two valleys over. This is the home of Count DRAGULA, sorry honey." #Monsterdon

You could dupe the audio of this film and sell it as a spooky Halloween sound effects CD. In fact I'd say there's a non-zero chance that might have happened. #monsterdon

Okay, hi monster, but what are the horse butts up to?

#DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein #Monsterdon

The camera operator certainly figured out the zoom, but definitely not the focus #monsterdon

Oh my God somebody please kill the foley guy who found that "bat" noise.

#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

whatcha gonna do, doc - eyedropper him to death?

#monsterdon #draculaprisoneroffrankenstein

Muppet "The Count" Bat from Sesame Street-Fu!

#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

Fan edit: Dracula, Prisoner of Frankenstein (no fake bat scream noises) #Monsterdon

oh he almost had it….achievement unlocked: door #Monsterdon

If this were made by the team that did Godzilla: Final Wars we would have seen several monster fights accompanied by diverse musical themes by this point #monsterdon

By all means, TAKE YOUR TIME driving that stake through his heart.
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Lens flare, silly zoom effects, is this a JJ Abrams flick? He was what, 6 years old in 1972? Plausible…

why do I get the feeling that the outside and inside doors are two _entirely_ different doors. #monsterdon

The less you have to dub the cheap it is!!
#monsterdon

No pause! Only stake! #Monsterdon

Bring back the cat that was a cute fucken cat

#monsterdon

twing twing twang twung

deet deet doot doot

oom oom oom oom oom oom

#Monsterdon

Never seen or heard a bat. Makes vampire movie. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon ah yes, gliding, the classic bat behaviour

that balalaka is looping harder than a scooby doo chase scene

#monsterdon #draculaprisoneroffrankenstein

@Taweret it will sound like *pow pew screech cash register*

#monsterdon

That bat swallowed a whistle.

#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

CLOMP CLOMP CLOMP EEEEK CLOMP CLOP WHOOSH CLOMP EEEK #monsterdon

I feel like the bars on the second floor windows are more to keep people in than to keep people out!

#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

From elongated door creaking to bat screeching. Please stop #monsterdon

@mmezabet

Did the driver with speech difficulties not add to the tension?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

We don't need no stinking dialogue.

Wind.

Bat shrieks.

Horse hooves.

A cat.

A dog.

Some sort of harpsichord.

But. No. Dialogue.

#Monsterdon

Door open, door close > zoom in, zoom out
#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

#monsterdon
Anyone have a bingo card?

We've had lousy bat effects.
Cat screech
Too much Skin showing
Vampire at window
Even creepy doll play
And
I NEVER oil my hinges

A timeline vascillating between #monsterdon and #realtime real world politics in #LA... and on the #Meditteranean Sea.....

Are we not entertained!!!?

And now, Dracula on the Haunted Harpsichord. #Monsterdon

even that door trying to shove that man out of this film. like, dude, please, you don't wanna be here. #monsterdon

@Taweret let him turn on his recorder first

#monsterdon

The producers took all the money they saved on dialogue and spent it on Foley artists, apparently #Monsterdon

Dude, oil your ferking door! #monsterdon

is this guy The Jonathan

#Monsterdon

I always forget about #monsterdon until it's too late (curse of the west coast.) The mix of bell clappers and eyeballs sounds at once unmissable and maybe intolerable to this change ringer.

OMG! They zoomed out after a zoom in and then zoomed back in. We get it, some dude is at a castle and walking!
#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

This long horse drawn carriage journey to a foreboding castle could have been an email

#Monsterdon

so, what - a third of this foley is from Walt Disney's Haunted Mansion Sound Effects Album for Halloween?

#monsterdon #draculaprisoneroffrankenstein

next will be *dialogue* maybe?

#monsterdon

That was a really long driving scene behind the horse buns. #monsterdon

Door farts. #Monsterdon

Lol no matter how much lonely wind and fake crow caws you add, it still looks like Dracula summers on the Amalfi coast

#Monsterdon

I think I saw this place on "Mediocre Castles of Europe"

#Monsterdon

It's a pull door. #monsterdon

This movie is impressively incomprehensible, even for a shitty European 70s horror flick.
#Monsterdon

brb imma travel back in time and beat this movie's foley guy with a baseball bat

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon sorry i'm thinking of a better movie ;)

Credit where it's due, this movie delivers all the ominous whooshing you'll ever desire. #monsterdon

@mmezabet depends upon how much you're into horse butts

clearly

#monsterdon #draculaprisoneroffrankenstein

Day-for-night-shot-fu!

#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

#Monsterdon what knockers

Once again for #monsterdon we have a messed up cover of the theme from The Third Man at 11:10. That makes 2 that I've noticed so far, I should try to locate where the other one was...

Amazing, a 100% filler by length film. And well before the Netflix era. Truly a movie ahead of it's time.

#monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

CLOP CLOP CLOP WHOOSH: The Movie #monsterdon

Clearly the filmmaker overestimated how exciting a journey in a horse-drawn carriage is.

#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

I’m really digging this. Jesús Franco took a risk, and it’s actually really well done, in terms of the auditory aesthetic and cinematography.

#Monsterdon

Has there been any dialogue yet?

#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

OOO creaky door sound! #Monsterdon

that was a distance marker in passing, _not_ a front-load washer #monsterdon

@wohali
[footsteps crunching]

Velcome to Count Chocola's Castle! Ah ha ha ha!

#monsterdon

The sound effects are amazing. That wind howl.... #Monsterdon

No more eye trauma plz.
Oh that is a really noisy ... spinning wheel sound? That clicking is driving me mad.
#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

now that i’m watching this i realize i probably could have just used the normal audio track for the countdown instead of looking for an isolated score #monsterdon

There wolf. There... castle!

#Monsterdon

OK, I'm calling it, the camera guy is drunk.

Only valid explanation.

#monsterdon

9 minutes in before the first spoken words, gotta be a record

#monsterdon

#monsterdon I am now mocking ads. Spanish Febreeze ad... fast spanish. La la la, la laaaaa.

The first line of dialog is spoken to an animal. "Yah!". #monsterdon

@strangefour Except in #Monsterdon we have only ourselves to blame and God knows it

Are you trying to tell me this is some kind of coherent movie or something?

I've just had a minute of a horse's ass

#Monsterdon

The gravel. It is so CRUNCHY for walking on. #Monsterdon

"Hey, yah!" Will be important later, or this shot wouldn't exist. 🧠 #monsterdon

Hey, yah? This teamster''s cooler than being cool. #monsterdon

So what I'm getting is that #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein is less of a film and more of a tone poem

#monsterdon

Musical cue! Also pretty sure most of the budget for this movie was blown on carriage rental. #monsterdon

Who is this guy in the horse carriage and why should I care?

Also, dear movie, more horses and less eyeballs, please and thank you

#Monsterdon
