#Monsterdon Does having the full lip covering moustache protect from evil and cold weather or something?

Neither Arthur nor Van Helsing thanked the concierge? Banishment!

#Monsterdon #DanCurtisDracula

Just got an ad for a credit-building app and if that isn't vampire-relevant I don't know what is

#monsterdon

So much of the decor here is bright red and I don't know if that was attempting to be thematic or just a Victorian thing.

#monsterdon

George Hotel, named after its inventor, George Hotel

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "i'd dracula her. i'd dracula the *heck* outta her."

Dark Shadows was much better than this-what happened?

#Monsterdon

"...we'll be down as soon as I make sure the ladies are comfortable."
<awkward glances>

#Monsterdon #Dracula

fawlty towers was a nice enough place back in the day

#monsterdon #Dracula1974

Boxes full of earth isn't anywhere near as upsetting as boxes full of rats #monsterdon

@cheribaker I feel like this poll needs to be multiple selectable.

#Monsterdon

@trixter Oh yeah, this is the movie that started that trend. Weird place for it to first show up, but okay go with a theme I guess.
#Monsterdon #Dracula1974

So I've not been posting because I was cooking, but I've been watching.

This is the horniest of the three movies so far right?

#Monsterdon

Vampires in the other two movies were more mysterious and unknowable. Their powers, by design, didn't always make sense because -- as mortals -- we weren't supposed to be able to understand them. This film on the other hand feels like it's leaning much more into the conventional vampire mythos. They've been catalogued and understood. #monsterdon

@tompurl Tbh Palance looks like he's had so many facelifts he can't make proper expressions anymore. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 2-C or not 2-C

#Monsterdon That’s how I feel after playing the same section of #baldursgate3 too, Jack!Drac. Vases. Coffins. Sarcophagi! Everywhere! Maddening! Just wanna push them all over.

Wait what the hell was that flashback?

#monsterdon
#Dracula1974

A respectable hotel! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon ノ🧛‍♂️ノ ⚰️

had a vlad day, had a very vlad day...

#Monsterdon #Dracula1974

that mausoleum is incredibly well lit' at night tho

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

"How much is that vampire in the window?"🎵

Dracula all mad he got cockblocked.

#Monsterdon

Deny a Palance to act and eventually he explodes and takes the set with him.

#monsterdon

@jonny

Maybe both???

#monsterdon
#Dracula1974

"I would piss on your graves if only I could piss!"

#monsterdon #Dracula1974

Not--not the BIG SHINY cross!!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Vaseline Montage! We have Vaseline Montage!

You know what else did the "She looks like my long-lost wife" thing?

Dracula Untold, in the last 5 minutes.

#monsterdon

(i didn't call him Jackula because that would be Jean Dracula) #Monsterdon

that? is the cry of ultimate suffering. #WrongMovie #monsterdon

@Bluedepth Vampires are basically like cats, right?

#monsterdon #mastoween

Okay, this scene with Dracula finding out Lucy's been staked is pretty good though. And works much better than the Coppola version where it's Mina instead and so she never gets killed. #Monsterdon

Me at work this year: "You're right. You should know the truth."

#Monsterdon

But also: no rats. The rat guy from the previous movie charged too much, I guess. Instead they got a wolf guy.

#monsterdon

Way to kill the mood Van Helsing. No wonder nobody likes you

#Monsterdon #Dracula1974

Van Helsing's mustache rivals that of Magnump, P.I.

#Monsterdon

so did they like miniaturise bodies in 19th century england? because these are some tiny fuckin' coffins

#monsterdon #Dracula1974

#Monsterdon Mmmm vampire scent gland rubbing.

@RobynGoodfellow "I can't believe it's not Lucy!" #monsterdon

"S'alright in there?"

"S'alright." #Monsterdon

Aw, go ahead, smooth-hair. Let her in.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Jack!Drac always looks like he’s about to scream out “Line!?!” LOL.

Stake in the box! Gotcha Vlad!

#Monsterdon #Dracula1974

@JoeWynne so if stakes now decrease in length each year and are used vertically

the stakes have never been higher

#monsterdon

so is lucy actually the like reincarnated version of dracula's old bride in that painting or did he just mind control her or something #monsterdon

We've replaced Dracula's regular Lucy with a staked corpse. Let's see if he can tell the difference. #Monsterdon #Dracula1974

boy, he's gonna be maddd. #monsterdon

oh snap. drac ain't gonna like this

#monsterdon

One of the best things about Sunday nights on Mastodon is randomly logging in and seeing #Monsterdon posts.

I can't usually watch b/c of my time zone, but the commentary on the movies is absolutely hilarious.

His shameful gardening passion is leaking out #monsterdon

Now we have Princess Leia too, is this like a star wars Dracula special or what? #monsterdon #dracula1974

sorry, vlad, she's a little occupied right now. #monsterdon

This is why you don't drink bathtub Hooch, kids

#Monsterdon #Dracula1974

Those boxes would not be nearly enough to ballast a ship!! Please, I was fully into the story but now...
#Monsterdon

This month of #Monsterdon is going to really make me appreciate What We Do In The Shadows much, much more.

@brooke

Technological streamlining over time
Surf boards
Skateboards
Vampire stakes

#Monsterdon

"We're leaving the one remaining named woman in this movie alone while we stalk the title monster, which is a strategy which has never once gone spectacularly wrong in all of cinema history." #Monsterdon

"...Arthur and I will track down this vampieuh"

#Monsterdon #Dracula

"Vile body"? Speak for yourself, pastor

#Monsterdon

We're off to kill the vampire, the vampire nosferatu.

#Monsterdon

@moira
Sooooooo many!!

#monsterdon
#Dracula1974

No, we ordered the blood red wall paint, not rose. Take it back.

#Monsterdon

Alright now what's this Hellsing gonna be like? #monsterdon

Arthur seems to be taking Lucy lying in a coffin, and then screaming and bleeding when staked, as proof that she really was dead all along

I'm pretty sure that would make me believe she was alive even more

#Monsterdon

Not just dead, '70s-possessed level dead

#Monsterdon

I feel like everyone was a better actor in this movie than Jack Palance.

#Monsterdon

Lady's sporting a deconstructed Leia cut. #Monsterdon

Lucy was 100% a sex object
#monsterdon

Hey guys, I’m not watching the #Monsterdon movie tonight but I gotta know: is Jack Palance Dracula doing one armed push-ups?

#Monsterdon ⚰️ 🧛‍♀️ 🦇 😱

Those funeral carriage horses might be Fresians?

wow that hairstyle so many curls

#monsterdon #Dracula1974

@brooke not as cute as Mr. Pointy, for sure

#Monsterdon

Yep, they still don't understand how kissing works

#monsterdon

That painting of Lucy is in the same style as the old painting of Vlad Tepes... OMG! The painter is an immortal vampire too!
#Monsterdon #Dracula1974

OMG those screams are pathetic. #Monsterdon

In the book, Arthur is the one who stakes Lucy. This kind of takes the emotional weight out of it #Monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie 😆#Monsterdon
#dracula

Should have made justin bieber stake his own dang girlfriend #monsterdon

Well, she's more of a tighty now. #Monsterdon

Too sexualized

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon i feel like the stakes have been much bigger and more substantial in these movies than the ones in buffy

Where is Renfield? The people demand Renfield! #Monsterdon

It looks like the shininess was the problem, not the religious symbol.

#monsterdon
#Dracula1974

That is an incredibly brightly lit tomb #monsterdon

Day for night AND fake rainy day all at once! #monsterdon

Has Dracula ever shown up at the funeral for Lucy in any movie? That feels like a missed opportunity for being a menacing creep.
#Monsterdon #Dracula1974

The cross repelled her, but I bet if you shove Lucy, she'd just fall down and lay there.
#Monsterdon
#dracula

The old "I'm not dead, I'm alive!" trick. Arthur shouldn't fall for it.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon ⚰️ 🧛‍♀️ 🦇 😱

That doggo's not so different from our kids when we finally come home after i.e. being away for 30 mins

Van Helsing enjoyed that staking way too much....

#monsterdon

if she isn't dead then why is she running? checkmate, arthur

#monsterdon

Hmm, did that count as an explicit enough invitation for the "vampires have to be explicitly invited inside" vampire rule?

#monsterdon

ok my cat is full on flehman response smelling my blood with an open mouth is she vampire #monsterdon

another zoom to closeup of the eternal stare of death.

#Monsterdon

The fake blood on the fake dead dog #monsterdon #dracula1974

He keeps going hours if not days without food, drinking alcohol, and then getting head injuries. Things are not looking good for Johnny. #monsterdon

@akamran I wonder if Tobe Hooper saw this before making Salem's Lot #monsterdon
