This horse driver's "Yeah ha!" is like 25% of the dialog up to this point in the film. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon horse butts and eyeballs

#Monsterdon was… was the entire cast featured extras? Are Italian actors paid by the word?

Glad the horses seem to speak his language, 'cos I sure as hell don't. #Monsterdon

Worst Lasik doctor ever #monsterdon

Is there a Bechdel test for people talking to horses? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon This feels like it should be giallo, but it isn't, and that bugs me.

Ok Fawesome, demonstrate your fawesomeness!

#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

#monsterdon YAY! Bimzelx! Take a pill! You'll die! Tuberculoisis! You'll shit your brains out! BUT GOD YOU LOOK FABULOUS!

more horse's ass shots than i was expecting tbh

#monsterdon

twing twang twung twong

#Monsterdon

He got the role because he made those horse driving sounds better than anyone. #Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

Sounds like a Steam Horse

#Monsterdon

Horse butts!!!!
#Monsterdon

"Lunch? And you didn't invite _me?!_"

#monsterdon #draculaprisoneroffrankenstein

@srol You can't spell chime without an eye? #Monsterdon

"(dramatic music)"

Oh thank you subtitles, I never would have guessed

#Monsterdon

Dracula walked so that Army of Darkness could run #monsterdon

the coach driver is wearing the very first go pro #monsterFACT

#monsterdon

Elon is in this?

#monsterdon
#DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

eh ah #monsterdon

Shaky focus on coach lamp. Shaky pan to horse butts. #monsterdon

Can't be Italian horror without eye gore. #Monsterdon

stabbed in the eyes? implied, I guess? #monsterdon

What did he do to her eye?
#monsterdon

Cliffhanger commercial break! Hiss!

#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

@srol maybe all eyeballs do that and we just don't try

#monsterdon

The camera in Jess Franco movies always feels like a drunk looking for a fight. #monsterdon

creepy harpsichord?
#monsterdon

is he... carrying a fire hydrant with him??? #monsterdon

#monsterdon Ocular stabbing is done with bell clackers…

'You’re using COCOANUTS!'

#monsterdon

Our first line of dialogue!
"Oh god. Have mercy on us."
Yep that's what Monsterdon feels like alright.
#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

I just got jumpscared by that fucking chime

#Monsterdon

This movie DOES try to employ jumpscares with the sudden noises and all, but the fact that the camera is whipping around at random really takes the scare out of it, what am I being shocked by

#Monsterdon

can't believe I'm slamming les francais twice in one day

#monsterdon

Her eyeball made a chime when he struck it! #monsterdon

Oh hey, turns out SHE was the Clapper. Wondered where they put that thing. #Monsterdon

Apparently this is the same director as the Christopher Lee "Count Dracula" from 1970, which I think we watched sometime last year.

#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

The eyes have it

#monsterdon
#DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

@RamenCatholic I'm guessing they told the actors they were going to do something unprecedented and pay them $100 per word spoken. And the actors were like "great!" and then the film was like "sucka! you've got 4 words, and they're all Ahhhhhhh!"
#monsterdon

Arriving late to Dracula, Prisoner of Frankenstein (1972)! And I gotta dip out again to do the dishes and such. #Monsterdon 🧵

Missed her heart by quite a bit there genius. #Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

Dialogue?!!! Will there be any?

#Monsterdon

Wait. It's been 8 minutes. Does this movie have dialogue? Is this going to be like a silent movie with sound?
#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

Here's a man who knows her eyes are UP HERE #monsterdon

@SRLevine ah, #Monsterdon After Dark, then.

What is the name of this place?
The fox hunter
Toot suite?
Gabriel, blow your horn?
#monsterdon

Oh thank goodness, I'm watching an English dub. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to understand what was going on. 😐

#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

Eye eye eye eye. #Monsterdon

Nice nostril cam

#Monsterdon

Was 100% convinced he was going to zoom up her nostril there. #monsterdon

Uzumaki....

#monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

#Monsterdon Interesting film study of the inside of her nostrils.

GAH, JESUS, ENOUGH WITH THE EYEBALL CLOSEUPS D: #Monsterdon

Just started up the stream today in time to catch the first line of dialogue and evidently I have missed nothing

#Monsterdon

Up the nostril shot! Who one earth things this is a good idea?!!?!?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon That's the first bit of dialogue... Church nonsense…

hey! dialogue! (sort of) #monsterdon

@LingLass no no that's bat? #JustGuessing #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🧛 ⛓️ 🧟‍♂️ 😱

EYEBALLS

Exactly one of you got this reference! I'm so disappointed.

@RamenCatholic@mindly.social This was later used in Star Trek Deep Space Nine, where Morn had no lines, and therefore the actor was paid as an extra.

#DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein #Monsterdon #StarTrek

The director of photography had just discovered how to zoom and change focus on his new 18mm lens the week before filming began.
#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

ah, "vampiro", I got that

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon back at the bony club bar, according to latest insistent close-up

Castle Argh our quest is at an end #Monsterdon

Serious daynight happening here now that it's broad daylight, I can't telll

#monsterdon

Dracula: zoom of zooming zoomtown #monsterdon

Oh hey, someone spoke!

Stop that.

#Monsterdon

There it is. Timecode 8:54. They can talk. #monsterdon

First line of dialogue at 8:51. Then nothing until minute 15, probably. #Monsterdon

Oh, hey, dialog

#Monsterdon

he's not honoring her last wish to be buried in those boots. He's the real villain.. #monsterdon

@Zerofactorial Exetirene! #monsterdon

@RamenCatholic Apparently I read the title backwards and it is really "Frankenstein General Hospital", which doesn't sound any better?

the reviews look pretty bad, the first one on rotten tomatoes mentions softcore porn? I dunno about this...

#monsterdon

Does the placement of the sign imply the "toilettes" are outside? #monsterdon

@ramsey@don.monsterunlrss you count Dracula screaming: "Caaaaable Guuuuy!"
#Monsterdon

@Louisa

Here comes the courier with the dialogue #Monsterdon

My favorite part of the movie so far is the ENTIRE small European town looking through one doorway #Monsterdon

Yay - it seems to be dubbed, not sub-titled.

#monsterdon

I love that I'm 8 minutes in and there have been no actual words yet. 😂

#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein

Does “onlookers murmuring” count as dialog? Uhh… is that a vampire facial? #Monsterdon

We have our first line of dialogue and it's AAAUAUAGHG #monsterdon

oh, pardon me, art films

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon i haven't heard foley this bad since the college project where i half-assed all the sound effects with my mouth

This bit with the horses feels like someone partially remembers the first part of the novel.

#Monsterdon

So, Franco was credited as a writer for this flick. Do you think the script looked like, "Scene 1, act 1: Woman: Groan. Groan. Groan."? #Monsterdon

@wohali and the wolves are blowing over the tops of beer bottles

#monsterdon

I've had a post tee'd up for a while now for the first time there's a line of dialogue that's not a human moaning or an animal shrieking and I'm not sure it's happening now. #monsterdon

There was a terrifying man at my window just now. I think I'll just turn my back to that window and look over here now. #monsterdon

Just when you're not expecting it – it's a zoom OUT.

…and then back to the zoom ins again.

#monsterdon

@ranjit @Louisa It’s actually working pretty well without it.

#Monsterdon

This mofo just ate and he's going looking for another meal? #monsterdon

Good use of silence.
#Monsterdon

A rare lucid day for Karen Black. #monsterdon

I. LIKE. THAT. STAIRCASE. #monsterdon

Enough with the zooms already! #monsterdon

She has a prominent forehead #monsterdon
