I would say the subtitles being out of sync on this is a problem, but I don't think even if they were in sync it would help
That bat is crap
#monsterdon There is also no dialog in the future, apparently..
#monsterdon Women! Maybe theyβll fetch us coffee!

I WANT THAT CAR
@allanb I admit I wouldn't want that guy to use my bathroom either >_> #Monsterdon
Worst telegram service ever.
This dude is on a Elon amount of Ketamine....
#Monsterdon
An Igor has appeared..?
Or perhaps a bug-eater. Hard to tell on this one...
[mumbling continues]
I'm a bit confused by the events here. It was day time, and the dracula was sleeping, and that makes sense. And the dracula was also a bat and that makes sense. But why was the bat screeching before the hunter guy found the dracula in the coffin?
Was it a different vampire? Did it just screech so much that it got tired and fell asleep?
"The salt, the pepper, the bay leaves! The green wood, the ashes, the barbecue sauce!" #Monsterdon
Anyway, undeterred by the bat alarms, Vampire Hunter Guy walks a few feet into the castle and finds a coffin which contains a sleeping Dracula (it is daytime). He stabs it with a stake and then it turns into a bat and dies.
Really poor security on the coffin there, dracula. At least hide your coffin a little deeper in your castle where randos can't just just find it.
I'm glad the pacing of tonight's film has allowed me time to work on other projects as well...
Oh, this is van Helsing. Probably.
#Monsterdon I understand folks needed a break after the methamphetamine fueled intensity of Godzilla Final Wars, but we might have swung too far in the other direction.
Serious question - curious why the windows are barred? Is it the obvious (so no one falls out), or some other reason? In old movies, which are obviously completely historically accurate, I never see those, but I assume this is on location somewhere and those bars are real?
@SnoopJ Paid, you say?
Itβs giving Monty Python and the Holy Grail in the opening sequence.
elaborate door operation training sequence
wandering around looking for dracula and/or frankenstein 8 hour ASMR mix #monsterdon
Somebody sexually harassing a chimp in the background...
@apLundell We should totally do Nosferatu sometime
Man, those Jehovas Witnesses just don't give up, huh. #Monsterdon
@culturednyc You didn't miss much so far. This woman took off her boots. Two guys said "HA" to horses. Now some dude's walking in a town, silently. #monsterdon
where was this shot? Valladolid?
#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein #DraculaContraFrankestein
Mr discount foley, was itching to use the squeaking-door effect, and he's not going to let it go.
"(wind blowing)"
"(bird cawing)"
"(wind whistling)"
"(footsteps tapping)"
"(thing happening [j/k lol])"
They're pulling out of the stops now with the horse clopping
oh, cβmon man, stop with the irises. you ainβt BuΓ±uel
#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein #DraculaContraFrankestein
The horse noises are like those of Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Why the nail in the eye?
Why?
Sounds like they got the budget foley guy.
CW for eye contact i guess
@Bluedepth ikr. Please go back to no dialogue, film! #monsterdon
Thanks, you're an ophthalmologist, we get it, we get it
BONG!
The animals have all the dialogue so far.
Not complaining
#monsterdon
I'm not sad about anything yet, but neither is that crying guy
DAY PRETENDING TO BE NIGHT!
#monsterdon Dialog so far: random screeching..
"Oh, sounds like a woman being murdered in the next room. Huh. Well, not my problem." #Monsterdon
#monsterdon I half expexcted a Kookiburra Bird call
Dialogue didn't make it to the film set yet, should be any second now
It's a very long bite sequence. I mean, is this a blood-bite, or a multicourse luncheon?
I VANT your BOOTS!!! #monsterdon
dat chiaroscuro
#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein #DraculaContraFrankestein
What is going on, so far we've had tourist shots and startled animals....is there film?
uh-oh, i think this one is gonna be in Aitaliano. weβll seeβ¦
#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein #DraculaContraFrankestein
#Monsterdon π§ βοΈ π§ββοΈ π±
someone go halp that bat!
@trixter Aren't we all prisoners of the real Frankenstein's monster? Of mankind itself, the real monster.
#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein
Is the camera going to have the zoomies all night?
It's the shakey zoom in on the house! Very 1970s low budget production.
A+ mist-shrouded castle in the opening.
Almost kind of sad I missed tonight's #Monsterdon because it sounds like it was so absolutely awful it was kind of film a bestie & I would enjoy. Maybe we need a redux, @kaizan ? #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein
@starkraving666 the best part imo #monsterdon
#Monsterdon too, tonight.
@diazona You are definitely 3 minutes better off than the rest of us. #monsterdon
@strangefour Pray, what were these "good movies" of which you speak? #monsterdon
#Monsterdon
Now THAT is a scary thought!
To give credit where it's due, the *atmosphere* did largely work.
Despite the goofy eye zooms.
@strangefour He is all of us.
@davesdogmaggie @Taweret "dropped some eave" πΉ
this movie feels like a plagiarized essay about what a monster movie is
Oh and happy pre birthday @blogdiva
Well, I can see why Frankenstein would be worried. Those werewolves totally kick ass in the Underworld movies.

#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein
No! You fool! Fuses on all your higher-amperage circuits! Glow resistors are fun for a minute but then you're stuck working with the soldering iron all night, #Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein
@Zerofactorial Maybe they coulda used written dialogue like in old-fashioned silent movies. #monsterdon
they were clearly setting up for a sequel too, holy shit
I missed today's #Monsterdon tooting but it looks like I didn't miss much.
@huronbikes That's what happens when you don't peer-review your research plan. #monsterdon
Ok @SabiLewSounds You can come out now. #monsterdon is over. π«
Dr. Frankenstein's not-very-well-thought-out-plan didn't go so well... Who would have figured... #Monsterdon
That bat wasn't even flapping. Just up down up down levitating crap. Nobody's scared of that.
@Terencio lol, same! From the sublime to the ridiculous! #Monsterdon
Well, that was a thing that we did.
Thanks to @Taweret and @Cherizilla!
@Lazarou I gotta catch up when I get better internet, then!
And we ended the way we started, not knowing who anyone was, or why we should care.
Regardless, we tooted, and spread the pain around.
Til next time, maybe we should make better choices....
Who am I kidding.
Thanks everyone, and thanks always to @Taweret for hosting.
Buying Alaska my ass.
This movie was the real Seward's Folly!
#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein
Wolfman looks a bit like he may have nutted. #Monsterdon
Anyway, that was technically an ending, but no one really fucked off into anywhere.
Also the lack of action balances out Final Wars, I guess.
And that's a wrap.
#monsterdon
this has been the end of a #monsterdon viewing of "Dracula, Prisoner of Frankenstein"
and I think this quote from the beginning third of the movie sums it up pretty well: https://tacobelllabs.net/@arrjay/114650778480478606
So wait... Dr Frankenstein is the hero of the picture who slayed all the monsters? wtf
#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein
See, there's no differential treatment of actresses in this movie. Frankenstein's monster also had to moan sexilly and reveal extra skin while being electrocuted.
#monsterdon
Gosh that movie sucked. Two thumbs down for Dracula, Prisoner of Guinea Pig Screams.
Welp, thatβs another 90 min of my life gone. As always, the real bloodsuckers are the #Monsterdon s we meet along the way
Or something. I cannot grammar after so much π©-posting
Frank has seen some shit.
#Monsterdon #DraculaPrisonerOfFrankenstein
Wow, somebody didnβt fuse their circuits. No way thatβs up to codeβ¦ #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon
AND YET...
STILL BETTER THAN THE BEE GIRLS!
You know we could've watch some Duckula toons instead of this #Monsterdon
And boom - it's the abrupt ending we all know and love from #monsterdon
That was awful, I had a blast. #monsterdon
