dracula flashback? flashdrac? #monsterdon

oh he's got one of those capsule beds ⚰

#monsterdon

Wow, that's decolletage that Hammer Films would be jealous of. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Dracula's the kind of guy who takes a lot of time on a special order, then doesn't tip

@Taweret So you're saying he invented the tag line "Don't have a cow, man" #monsterdon

Blurry bra-less jogging scene alert.

#Monsterdon

Running with that much chest and no bra? Yikes!

#Monsterdon #DanCurtisDracula

Employ the duress phrase in that letter, Harker!

#Monsterdon #Dracula1974

That's actually a surprisingly good custom-portrait-of-actors-in-the-production painting for a TV production #monsterdon

Best thing about the movie so far is the set design and set dressing. A bit heavy on the cobwebs, but good stuff

#Monsterdon

If there is anything that Palance does well is impatience and being pissed off. #monsterdon

The guy playing Harker looks like a low rent Hugh Laurie.
#Monsterdon #Dracula1974

Dracula is not a native English speaker, I'll bet you could slip something by him in those letters. #Monsterdon

even tho it's the same book this movie is makin a lot more sense than the other ones, like i'm actually gettin "character motivations" and "backstory" and whatnot #monsterdon

"Ladies, please.Less feasting on the guests."

#Monsterdon

holy crap no poise at all, you're staring down the barrel of three snarling broads and you don't try and play it cool for one second and buy time #monsterdon

"What do you want" he says. He's gonna Wicker Man this. #Monsterdon

Prop painter: "You want me to put WHO'S face on it!?"

#monsterdon

I don't know if I would drink out of bottle that'ss so old, the GLASS has melted into a misshapen container
#monsterdon

kinski's Dracula left out better shit for his guests

#monsterdon

Oh thank God, Harker broke out of Count Dracula's clutches, where he was constantly being plied with wine... to go get some more wine

#Monsterdon

I'm sorry did Drac circle the newspaper clipping with BALLPOINT PEN in THIS YEAR OF OUR LORD 1897 #Monsterdon

I didn't know they had Magic Markers in Dracula times. #Monsterdon

Gotta hand it to them, they're not overdoing the use of music. Rather spare.

A lot of directors lately seem to rely on music to create the atmosphere in a scene that they're unable to craft otherwise.

#Monsterdon

Heck yeah, we have ✅ Dusty Tomes!

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

Careful dude, Dracula does not drink... vine. #Monsterdon

Is Shelob spinning those webs? JFC. #Monsterdon

Look you're trying to escape, not sampling the liquor cabinet. #monsterdon

i am putting up with tubi ads becaue the copy is so much clearer. wish i didn't care about the image quality haha #monsterdon

"Ah, so _here's_ where he's hiding the real wine."

#monsterdon #Dracula1974

Is that conduit on the wall? Does Castle Drac have ye olde electric in?

#monsterdon #palanceIsDracula

oo, a dutch angle hallway, i think i need one of those in my home. #monsterdon

Somebody went crazy with the Silly String #monsterdon

Avert your eyes. He's got a letter. #monsterdon

#monsterdon and we have cobwebs!

Okay NOW we find the areas that the cleaning staff didn't get to.

#Monsterdon #Dracula1974

@RufusJCooter @Zerofactorial
I mean, yeah, compared to the Klaus Kinski version in Nosferatu (1979), he looks positively homely!
#Monsterdon #Dracula1979

Fuck your tapestry.

#monsterdon

Palance is weird, but he is by far the most normal seeming man to play Dracula. He's just a fancy old noble. Not a weird creepy who only stares at your neck while licking his lips.
#Monsterdon #Dracula1974

Those candles are really cranking out the lumens #monsterdon

Great cobweb FX!

#Monsterdon

It's the 70s and all blood is #FF0000 red

(I'll keep reusing this joke till the blood is normal blood colour)

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Carriage fax dot com. Surrey Max.

Dang it. Someone adapt Dracula's Guest! Figure a way to wedge that short story about Dracula telling a female vampire in a mausoleum, "HEY! NO! This one is mine! You can';t have Harker!" Before he ever gets to the castle.
#Monsterdon #Dracula1974

@nev no creepy shadows or anything! #monsterdon

Your shave is looking very tasty indeed.

#Monsterdon

oh no now palance is doing his version of christopher lee's dracula family history speech. no comparison 😬. palance's version comes across like an old relative going on and on with boring stories #monsterdon

Don’t buy the seller… ’s fiancé’s best friend

#Monsterdon #DanCurtisDracula

"Stay for a month... OR FOREVER" #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

@overholt He always looks like he is about to sneeze.

#Monsterdon

how come this dracula got the same plastic surgeon as all the old ladies in beverly hills tho #monsterdon

Did he just break the 4th wall?!

#monsterdon

Jack tried the accent for about 10 seconds then just went "eff it" and now it's just a very special episide of Ripley's #Monsterdon

Also, this castle is NOT decrepit enough. There's no big fake spiderwebs anywhere. No guttering candlelight. Christopher Lee wouldn't put up with this shit

#Monsterdon

Palance’s hair is wind tunnel tested. It’s not going anywhere.

#Monsterdon #Dracula

Show us a modern Dracula, only he's a shut in watching HGTV real estate shows, and obsessively "liking" necky women on Insta. #Monsterdon

What accent is Palance doing? Transylvanian? Olde South?

#Monsterdon

Yes, these pictures are [heavy breathing] quite suitable

Does this house have an OnlyFans?

#Monsterdon

I still can't get over CarFax.

#monsterdon

this is the part of the movie that i missed the last two times, like how come dracula knows about lucy at all. things make so much more sense #monsterdon

Dracula: Please, sit and eat.
Harker: Thank you. (raises fork to his mouth)
Dracula: Ignore the food, show me the photos now
#monsterdon

Did people use to travel with framed photographs everywhere? #monsterdon

Oh. Jack Palance is trying his best to give off Chistopher Lee vibes in his reading the letter.
#Monsterdon #Dracula1974

This Dracula guy has had Botox. He cannot smile, and his lips don't move when he talks.
#Monsterdon
#dracula

"I brought these dirty pictures straight from London for you Count, the finest whores of Whitechapel!"

#monsterdon

As a vampire, Dracula understands the importance of inviting in guests.

#monsterdon #mastoween

I have dined already (at the blood bank)

#Monsterdon #Dracula

Lots of dogs in this neighborhood.
#monsterdon

@Taweret yeah but how come the events in the novel are the same every time #monsterdon

"Welcome to my house. Enter freely and with your own will."

- Me opening the door for Thanksgiving guests.

#Monsterdon

Happy tail waggin wolfie sheppards just want beggin' treats. #Monsterdon #Dracula1974

you find a pack of german shepards following your coach, you stare in horror, i find a pack of german shepards following my coach, WHAT GOOD BOIS, we are the not the same. #monsterdon

SUCH GOOD BOIS

THEY LOVE TO RUN

DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG oh wait we're wolves AWOO AWOO AWOO

#Monsterdon

Jonathan Harker is beset by troubled dreams that he is in the wrong movie #monsterdon

We are 9:30 into the film
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon so many doggies! they're so pretty

@Louisa see this tumblr post https://stainlesssteellocust.tumblr.com/post/755483200717045760/im-sat-drunk-in-the-beer-garden-of-a-rock-bar-and

#Monsterdon

Doggies! AWOOOOOOO! WOOOOO! Look at all the happy puppers.
#Monsterdon #Dracula1974

Jesus, this Harker is SO TRUSTING. look, he's *taking a nap!* I can't WAIT to see Jack drain him dry. #Monsterdon

dracula's horses go from zero to full trot in 0.3 seconds from the sound of it

that can't be good for them

#monsterdon #Dracula1974

#Monsterdon worst lyft ever. lost a star for not speaking english

The best part of any movie is the point where Harker goes, "Oh, I'm just heading up to Castle Dracula" and everyone around him goes

#Monsterdon

Oh, a common error. Castle Dracula is not Dracula. The vampire is Dracula. The castle is just Dracula's Castle. #monsterdon #palanceIsDracula

here's yer bag, Brit, now push off. #monsterdon

Push him out and run away!
#monsterdon

Every single resident of Dracula country is going to have a wildly different accent, aren't they #Monsterdon

This definitely seems like the most English of the Jonathans. He constantly looks like he's wondering if he ought to have brought an umbrella. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Pretty sure these wolves are also German Shepherds.

Wouldn't huskies be more convincing? Need wolfier dogs.

#Monsterdon I remember that lone wolf howl mainly from Sesame Street intros to sketches for The Count.
#Dracula1974

lol @ the carriage driver throwing the Brit's luggage at him in rage

#monsterdon

sounds like Palance brought his own Foley artist!

#monsterdon

Some beautiful establishing shots! #monsterdon

Beer commercial vibes right now #monsterdon

They really splashed out for that carriage and team!

#Monsterdon #Dracula1974

SHOUTS IN NATIVE

#monsterdon #palanceIsDracula

Lotsa zooming in tight on people's faces so far; if you're making a movie for TV, gotta make that DP earn his check, I guess

#monsterdon

Dan: Look, Cameramonkey! I told you a hundred times. MORE CLOSEUPS. I've got a fever and the inly prescription is more closeups!

#monsterdon

So far, the transit system seems a lot more reasonable

#Monsterdon #Dracula1974

And eat lots of liver, good for the blood, you know. #monsterdon
