The actress playing Lucy really did have a cool, intense stare, it's too bad she couldn't have been a bigger part of the movie. #monsterdon

"Look! It is already dawn, the director has taken the blue filter off the camera lens. " #Monsterdon

One of the hardest parts about being a vampire must be getting the coffin lid closed over your head every morning

#monsterdon

Whoa this Dracula seems like a terrible kisser

I am the furthest thing from an expert and even I can tell

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Imagine if you got turned into a vampire by Jack Palance but it's "Interview w/ vampire" rules and you were stuck with a 1970's hairstyle forever.

#Monsterdon 🧛🏻 #Dracula1974 You snooze, you lose, Lucy girl 🍷

This is an ex-Lucy, She has expired, she has ceased to be!!

#Monsterdon

Hammer Time!

#Monsterdon #Dracula

that is a shiny cross #monsterdon

Ha! Van Helsing shouts "Arthur" like he just walked in on them sneaking some cookies before dinner :P #Monsterdon

Attacked in your own parlor by a pack of wolves. What a way to go

#monsterdon

Decent cross effect with the reflecting light

#monsterdon #mastoween

#Monsterdon I don't think those eyebrows are historically accurate, lady.

@strangefour it was. All the Aquanet they used for the hair in these movies kick started Climate Change. #Monsterdon

“No bats in the vicinity so I’ll improvise.” #monsterdon

she should've played dracula, not palance

#monsterdon #Dracula1974

bye Arthur. #monsterdon

Now that Discount Luke Skywalker doesn't need that cocaine to stay up all night, he can use it to get through the day.

#Monsterdon #DanCurtisDracula

#Monsterdon she's baaaaaack

Ashes to ashes
Funk to funky
We know her fiance's a junky
Hopped up on meth and fighting off surprise window dog attacks. #Monsterdon #Dracula1974

I was curious so I looked it up and "Westenra is an Irish surname, derived from the Dutch van Wassenaer." — wikipedia

another dutch connection!

#monsterdon

Oh she's gonna resurrect all right boys. #Monsterdon

so they're burying a planter

#monsterdon #Dracula1974

lucy has just been taking some of whats in vanhelsing's vials its perfectly fine you dont need to bury her about it #monsterdon

He was FANTASTIC
#monsterdon

She's not dead, she's just cosplaying The Exorcist. #Monsterdon

whelp that one's sprung a leak, gonna have to get a whole new cistern-in-law

#monsterdon #Dracula1974

OK WE'RE ALL ROOTING FOR DRACULA NOW RIGHT

#Monsterdon

And now a trip to the zoo.
Why does the zoo have a german sheperd exhibit?
#Monsterdon #Dracula1974

I gotta say, this version of Dracula is way better about representing the timeline of the story than the previous two

#Monsterdon

@cheribaker Garlique #monsterdon

Ah, distributing the night's-watch stimulant! So he's a Dr. Feelgood. 🤔

#Monsterdon

@yatsu He don't bite! He don't bite! He-- oh #Monsterdon

aw, that poor doggo, he just wanna play! #monsterdon

I like how they just put a second pelt on a regular German shepherd #monsterdon #dracula1974

This guy and shaggy Luke, same vibe.

#Monsterdon

Oh my gosh that pupper! What a face licker!

#Monsterdon #DanCurtisDracula

Just give him the beggin' treats! #Monsterdon #Dracula1974

Whee! Fun playtime! Yaaaaaay waggy tail! #Monsterdon

Floofy!!!

#Monsterdon

okay i don't think the dog through the window was supposed to elicit laughter from the room

but

#monsterdon #Dracula1974

A lot of silence in this movie

#Monsterdon

Arthur's carefully laid coif.

Your honor, I rest my case.

#Monsterdon

Couldn't tell if it's Dracula or the dog growling #monsterdon #dracula1974

I’ve always wondered about the cross thing. What if the vampire is atheist? Does that change anything? #monsterdon

Forty five minutes in and I haven't seen any bats #monsterdon

Doggo! 🐕 #monsterdon

#monsterdon Van Helsing just hands a young Brian Jones a big jar full of amphetamines, ah the good old days.

Horse fart was perfect timing

#monsterdon

lol, what was he going to do to that poor wolf? The guilty look on Dracula-Palance.....

#monsterdon

Here, have a bottle full of stimulants

#monsterdon #mastoween

Dracula's ladies did the cat teleportation trick where they just walk over somewhere silently while you're not looking. #monsterdon

Doctor: Have you ever heard of ‘Nosferatu’?
Audience: Didn’t we watch it last week?

#Monsterdon #Dracula

This time, we're going to stay awake. For real this time. I mean it

#Monsterdon

He's a man of science! I want him going up against the vampire of science, not crepe paper vampire guy.

#monsterdon #dracula1974

DAMN YOU COMFY CHAIR #monsterdon

...So in this version Harker just dies? #Monsterdon

Somehow in three movies this is the first time I picked up on the fact that Jonathan is stuck in the castle for a month

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou I guess that's why the nightwatch duo managed to doze off #monsterdon

You can tell we just got through a very silly part because I'm getting 500 errors when faving toots. #monsterdon

Umm....can you a hum a few bars of it #monsterdon

Can't give her any of that man blood. Only girl blood will work. It'll effect her humors and drive off her cooties.

#monsterdon

If you're familiar with plasma "donation" you'll see here that nothing much has changed #monsterdon #dracula1974

15 minutes in and this version of Dracula just seems like a chill dude

I think he would get along well with Spike (from the Buffyverse)

#Monsterdon

Doctor -- shes over there and she's been fucked senseless!

#monsterdon

Blood type? Who what now? #Monsterdon #Dracula1974

@nev Also distinctly more yellow than the rest of his teeth, which is a weird aesthetic choice.

#Monsterdon

Palance's vamp teeth are worse than Kinski's, and on Kinski's you could clearly see where they were glued on. #Monsterdon

Fantastic job saving your fiance's life. All you had to do was not fall asleep.

Maybe make a cup of coffee or something?

#Monsterdon

Lucy: "hooray for socks" #Monsterdon

I love that they clearly focus on the stone pillar that says CARFAX, then do a full screen title, CARFAX ESTATE, in case we missed it five seconds ago.

#Monsterdon
#Dracula1974

urrrgh, there goes the zoom again......

Was that the director's major at Film School?

#monsterdon

It's like a cat. You pet it for a bit and then it bites you.

#Monsterdon #DanCurtisDracula

Palance misses can bites her lymph node instead.

#monsterdon

Count Fuckula

#monsterdon

This is what I want from a Dracula movie: A Dracula Who Fucks

#Monsterdon

never seen a dracula suck blood from a tongue before

#monsterdon #Dracula1974

Holy cow those Big Eyes! Lucy stepped right out of a Margaret Keane painting. #Monsterdon #Dracula1974

Dracula and Lucy sitting in a tree ...

#Monsterdon #Dracula

That's not her neck

#monsterdon
#DanCurtis’sDracula

KNEEL BEFORE ZOD - Dracula

#monsterdon #palanceIsDracula

This is far too sexualized

#monsterdon

"Mom, Dracula is staring at us from the front yard, again."
#Monsterdon
#dracula

DING-dong! Fifth floor, appliances, underpants and DRACULA #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon day for night bay-bee

It really looks like it hurts Jack Palance to wear the Dracula fangs. Like I'm sure they were hoping it would come off as "his unholy, undead existence is a constant agony to him" but it doesn't.

#Monsterdon

I'm sorry, I really can't take Jack seriously as a vampire. That goofy-ass smile :P #Monsterdon

Stand by for mind control #monsterdon

All these day-for-night shots have exactly the same light as western Michigan at 9:30pm in the summer, which makes them the exact opposite of spooky for me. #Monsterdon

Why did directors from the 1970s think that nighttime was so blue?

#Monsterdon

Dracula's like that red room is the worst aesthetic crime ever!

#monsterdon

Love a good [Breathing heavily] caption.

#monsterdon

Dude, you're no Anthony Hopkins.

#monsterdon

A watched maiden never sleeps?

#monsterdon #mastoween

#Monsterdon i love that dark red shade on the wall

Solo Bassoon of Dread Mystery (h/t to @srol) does beat Screeching Death Piccolos, so I'll give this week's soundtrack that!

#Monsterdon

That was the shortest voyage of the Demeter segment ever.
Well shortest that didn't just skip it entirely.
#Monsterdon #Dracula1974

also love how 70s horror retconned 70s hairstyles into the 19th century

#monsterdon

Wow. Poor Lucy's giving it her all. No notes. #Monsterdon #Dracula1974

Much creepier dead captain this week. #Monsterdon
