"Bat!" flies away

#monsterdon

I feel like these are maybe not ethically sourced mummified corpses... 😬

#monsterdon

Starting off with mummies in distress. #Monsterdon

This is what happens when you don't moisturize and exfoliate #monsterdon

Taxidermied babies, setting the tone early I see

#Monsterdon

Very inspiring and hopeful start #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Hey, it was either these or a collection of Precious Moments figurines.

Mummy, I want to go home. #Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

In no mood for Monsterdon tonight but doing it anyway. Bleh.

#Monsterdon
#NosferatuTheVampyre

Oh. Wow. The nightmare fuel intensifies. Herzog, why you gotta be so Herzog? #Monsterdon

What a cold open #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon you've heard of muppet babies but have you heard of mummy babies?

Nightmare dolls. Good start. #Monsterdon

Oh, look, my doll collection!

@adhdeanasl this is tonight's lesson for #Monsterdon

Oops! Sorry, @Victorsigmoid! I did not mean for every single one of these posts to be in reply to you. I wasn’t paying attention. Sorry!

#Monsterdon

Edit: I’ve edited all the posts, so they're no longer replies to you. Terribly sorry to spam you like that!

@aprilfollies > Getting bit 38C

I see what you did there. 🤣

#Monsterdon

I do prefer when our #monsterdon movies are cheesier.

trapped by some cracker crumbs, but at last! released by the aid of a dust pan!! Jinnothin is fereee! #Monsterdon

I’m not promising to be done boosting, but will start to wind down on the #Monsterdon posting. If you’re just joining our human drama in progress, from here the timeline gets spammy with movie snark. To remove same, see below:

last bit of comedy as the little old man with the top hat is like, what me? arrest? him? how? #Monsterdon

@xavier_hm We all simultaneously watch a dated film @ 9PM EST on Sunday evening (USA east coast time), usually one with monsters in it.
Except for the month of October, @Taweret , creates a poll for people to vote on Mondays, for which monster movie we should view. For October, the movies were pre-selected to have a vampire theme. We use the #monsterdon hashtag while commenting on the movie so that those who don't participate can mute the hashtag, and the discussion.

For those of you scrolling through your timeline, you're about to hit a big mass of Monsterdon postings about Nosferatu (1979).

Should you not wish to read through them, here's how to filter them out, at least on the web browser:
1) right click on the gears & open in a new tab
2) choose "Filters" then "Add New Filter"
3) give the filter a title, check all boxes under contexts, choose hide completely and put "#Monsterdon" in the keyword box.
4) Click on "Save New Filter"

... and you're done.

#Monsterdon 🧛 ⚰️ 🦇 🩸🕸️ 😱

Thanks, #Monsterdonians for the delightful repartee, and for appreciating Werner's and Klaus's weirdness.

Thanks @Taweret for hosting, @cheribaker for bingo, and @JoeWynne for the facts!

also, here's to every sweet rattum who all deserved to be treated better than that. 🐀 💞

And the movie ends with Lyle Lovette, man on a horse on a boat on the ocean....

#monsterdon

anyway i'm not ducking out yet but thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting ^_^

#monsterdon #mastoween #nosferatu1979

@akamran Yeah good point. But maybe the "longing" is something different from love... who knows

This is classic post-#Monsterdon confusion, so in some sense I feel like all is right with the world

Very visual, high creep factor with a side of ick. Extra helpings of plague when the plot wanders off in a brain fever.

Dracula comes off as more desperate and burned-out than monstrous. It still works.

"Twas Beauty killed the Beast" was not quite the punch line I was expecting.

All and all, a big thanks to @Taweret for challenging expectations with tonight's choice.

#Monsterdon #Nosferatu1979

@Taweret My favorite Herzog documentary is the Loch Ness one. Well "documentary"
#Monsterdon

I feel like the only appropriate movie to follow this one would be Van Helsing (2004). #Monsterdon

This was quite great, thanks @Taweret for putting this together! #monsterdon

Huh

Well, definitely better than a typical #Monsterdon in some respects (including length (wait no that's not "better")) but it also cut off right before Lucy got to start doing something actually interesting so idk 🤷

Anyway thanks @Taweret for hosting and everyone for posting!

And we have slammed the coffin lid on another successful #Monsterdon! Thanks @Taweret for hosting and organizing! Bizarre and ultra-symbolic and very ratty, and I’m very glad to have watched it just for the surrealism. Thanks to so many hilarious commentators, to the point where I couldn’t keep up and will probably keep liking and boosting for the next half hour!!

Fucking off into the sand #Monsterdon

Ok this was quite amazing. Thanks everyone for joining, I loved it! #Monsterdon

And then he rides into the sunset of Tatooine #monsterdon

@Taweret Ty for another tasty #Monsterdon

@overholt I say go for it. #Monsterdon

Did the woman who fetched Lucy at the end saying "Something terrible's happened" have a name I missed? #monsterdon

@fabio Probably Vulcan #WrongHashtag #Monsterdon

sun goose suunn gooooose 🎵🎶
#Monsterdon

See you next time 👏 #monsterdon

“the plague” was a better story about plague and “dracula” was a better story about dracula but neither of them had a cool shot of a boat in a canal so i’m glad I watched #monsterdon

Thanks @Taweret for another great #Monsterdon

I really want to see a sequel where Lucy and Jonathan team up and head out into the world as vampire superheros

#Monsterdon

"Yeah, I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road, I'm gonna ride 'till I can't no more"

#Monsterdon

Not the most ... energetic film, but it was pretty good #monsterdon

#monsterdon really confused about how this ended - Lucy is dead, right? Jonathan is a vampire and didn't try to revive her or whatever?

@jchaven Did she sacrifice herself though? I kind of thought she was a vampire now. Or at least she seemed not to be obviously dead.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🧛 ⚰️ 🦇 🩸🕸️ 😱

Harker got Nasferatued. I suppose it's only right and proper.

But his horsie still lets him ride.

Did this just become a farce?
*Harker hops out of the circle*
Yep this is a farce.
#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

The question we all want to have answered: does Jonathan sparkle in the sunlight? #Monsterdon

Well that was a thing. Thanks @Taweret for another #mastoween #monsterdon #nosferatu1979

That was a good one!

#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

i really don't understand why a third of the stuff in that movie happened but it was great nonetheless #monsterdon

Whaaaaaaaaat? #Monsterdon

In conclusion:

1) fuck rats for real
2) my first Herzog movie, and... yeah, I'm good
3) evil wins

#Monsterdon

Danke schoen! #monsterdon

@north I think he acquires the capabilities, but not the title...

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Johnathan, you dirty rat.🐀

A parade of pallbearers #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon You go save Germany from the Vampire, Lucy! And the rats (not sure why no one is doing anything about the rats.)✊️

Oh. He's under arrest for murder. HAH! Okay that's a way to go.
#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

@strangefour when the sleepover goes wrong #Monsterdon

F off into the desert!

#Monsterdon
#NosferatuTheVampyre
#70sDraculaSpectacula

amazing. every dracula movie should have such a competent Lucy (even if she did forget that one tiny detail.) #monsterdon

Well everyone, thanks for a great evening. Amazing film, not a lot of yuks, but enjoyable and creepy.

See y'all next week I hope! And thanks again to @Taweret and @cheribaker and everyone else for making it super enjoyable.

#monsterdon

i didn't really follow the last part with the sacred circle and why he is dracula now but hey at least with dracula being the real estate agent we won't ever have to worry about his housing again
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon And Johnathan fucks off into the sunset. Well… that’s new.

Okay, well. That was leagues better than last week's Drac. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon and that was great! Thanks @Taweret

Damn, been there girl #monsterdon

Wait HOLD UP the final song is somebody singing about SAMPO?

Are we suddenly at the end of The Day the Earth Froze?

#Monsterdon

Poor Lucy, sacrificed herself for nothing.

#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

#monsterdon Time for Herzog infommercials

*gasp* harkers got fangies #monsterdon

This was the dumbest scene ever. Who is the old guy in the top hat?
#monsterdon

Gotta love this anthem to Zangoose.

#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

and our hero rides into the horizon #monsterdon

Fuck off into the ... uh... desert.

#monsterdon #Nosferatu1979

It's the ciiircle of liiiiiiife #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🧛 ⚰️ 🦇 🩸🕸️ 😱

Lucy 2, Nasferatu 1 I guess

He's going to have to arrest himself, be a good chap there now

#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

#monsterdon Ah, you cannot simply copy aesthetics bro

Kinski is dead. Long live Lucy Vampire Slayer.
So he's just like a dead bug curled up on her floor?
#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

Ahhhh, Jonathan's got the teeth!

And the claws!

CREEEEEEEEPY.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Dammit I should have made a "Vitamin DD" comment earlier. Everyone pretend I did that

Lucy, you could have just staked him through the heart. #Monsterdon

Lucy was wearing her cross earlier. Of all the irresponsible negligence, going to bed without it.

#Monsterdon
#NosferatuTheVampyre

Half expected that other fella to start doing a little dance and start talking backwards.

#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

@jonny Looks that way? Seems like a weak plan TBH

I thought she just wanted to become a vampire for kicks

#Monsterdon

@Taweret He didn't want to shame vampire's game #monsterdon

@overholt I didn't know you guys watched X-rated stuff on #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon So many bells. Tolling bells, chiming bells, the wrangling and the tangling that dramatically tells, Of the bells bells bells bells bells bells bells… 🔔

@strangefour probably has something to do with box-of-rats and I.Will.Not.Google #Monsterdon

a hammer and a stake, a vampire to, uh... take?

#monsterdon #mastoween #nosferatu1979

That guard was exceptionally careless and I don't know what he expected. #Monsterdon

Oh! That’s the cock she meant! #Monsterdon
