Okay, the shadow play there was very well done.

#Monsterdon

@apLundell the asylum orderly of Seville buckles all those who do not buckle themselves

#monsterdon

Same girl.
#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

@catzilla

No kidding. That sounds like a plague ship they should have burned out in the harbor.

#Monsterdon
#NosferatuTheVampyre

Why do these ppl have such delayed reactions??? #monsterdon #nosferatu1979

Oooooooo the nosferatu shadow!
#Monsterdon
#nosferatu

#Monsterdon Rude to hold a wake when Harker’s still alive. At least they brought flowers.

Wait, did drac just invite himself in?

#monsterdon #Nosferatu1979

He's the palest Vulcan #monsterdon

Okay, 💯 to the movie there. That was a neat sequence.

#monsterdon

"...I'm Count Dracula. What's a girl like you doing in a place like this."

#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

Don't know what Jonathan dinked, but he is wasted!
#monsterdon

"I'm just gonna tear the head off. The bit is there's a guy here." #monsterdon

I like that - the shadow is in the mirror but no Dracula ...

#Monsterdon #Nosferatu1979

scrooge looking in on cratchet christmas dinner #monsterdon

Well, there /was/ alot of lead in everything back then 😅

#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

Sure, you move to a new country only to realize nobody is there to help you unpack. #Monsterdon

big vamp out on the city! kick in the dad-rock montage and get the blood straw out #monsterdon

oh ok van helsing is just here for a scene #monsterdon

He's hanging around outside hoping to eat Tiny Tim.

#monsterdon #mastoween #nosferatu1979

These people are not very bright. A random boat full of rats and dead people and they do not suspect anything potentially dangerous. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Spouse is angrily demanding the return of the hat. 🎩

Well that's a fine howdy do 🤨

*canned laughter*

#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

Aha so Lucy *does* have emotional range after all

#Monsterdon

I'm sorry Lucy, but my brain didn't parse that question at all, so you can just cut away #monsterdon

A Drac in Amsterdam #Monsterdon

@Ayyyydrew

Purely investment properties. No need to clutter them up with dirt and coffins.

#Monsterdon

@thankfulmachine He's probably just Scottish. #monsterdon

brain fever brain fever
we know how to do it 🎵

#monsterdon

"The sun is hurting me."

SAME

#monsterdon

The horses in these scenes. All I can think of is Monty Python "You've got 2 'avs of a coconut and you're just bangin em togeva". The sounds are not realistic.
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Does this doctor diagnose everyone with “fever” and call it a day?

Oh no, he already did the once if by land AND the twice if by sea, if only he could pass on his warning.

#Monsterdon

*coconuts clapping together foley*
#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

@amyfou he's not heavy, he's my slumber 🎶 #Monsterdon

someone please give lucy something to wear, like look at that blue thing compared to this lovely crimson velvet outfit. the piping is nice but it has long sleeve under short sleeve energy #monsterdon

“I have a package for a Lucy Harker. It appears to be one man, in poor condition. Please sign here.”

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🧛 ⚰️ 🦇 🩸🕸️ 😱

But those might be the same to chestnut carriage horses we saw in the opening shots. Their blazes are right on!

Who went and put a cemetary on some sand dunes by the ocean? Where they looking to have the coffins exposed by erosion? What the heck? #Monsterdon

That's gotta be a deconsecrated church. Gotta be.

#Monsterdon
#NosferatuTheVampyre

so this plague ridden ship just pulled up, and now we have this obviously ill man here for you, open up! #monsterdon

@SarraceniaWilds I would visit this novelty tourist attraction.

#monsterdon

Dracula gets triumphant music for hiding his coffin

I feel validated in my decision to always root for the monster

#Monsterdon #TeamDracula

So why'd Drac go through all the trouble of buying a house if he's just gonna put coffins in random graveyards to chill in? #monsterdon

The horse gallops make me think of coconut halves #monsterdon

And Nosferatu Claus completed his task in just one night. Now all the towns children are in for a fright. Hee hee hee!
#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

#monsterdon Carrying his own devices instead of using slave labor respect man

Clearly this coffin unloading scene took place during the longshoremens' strike

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🧛 ⚰️ 🦇 🩸🕸️ 😱

I wonder how they made that coffin so light that Klaus could easily carry it even with the prosthetic nails.

He has to schlep his own coffins?!?! What kind of aristocrat is this?!?!?!

#Monsterdon
#NosferatuTheVampyre

@berniethewordsmith I kinda like it, it's the Drac's Cozy New Home Musical Score :D #Monsterdon

How did they get coconuts over there #monsterdon #nosferatu1979

just how did he get all those flies in the box? at least he didn't pull it out of the toilet...that I know of. #Monsterdon

Yes obviously, hide these coffins in the place where they would most make sense to be, but I can't stay. :blobconfused: :confused_numbers:

#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

@Sorl that checks! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Not gonna lie, love the ambience but feeling skeptical about the cottagecore music

Oh great. Now Dracula has to cart all these coffins ashore by himself from the middle of town to his new house.
#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

I love this whimsical orchestra music that’s playing as Dracula carries these coffins through the town at night. What a montage. Bravo, Herzog! Bravo! 👏 #Monsterdon

omg the rat street is so cute tho #Monsterdon

Walking around with a coffin in the middle of the night is very subtle.

#Monsterdon

@Ayyyydrew Oh what a silly bunt. #MontyPythonDirector #Monsterdon

highly relatable dracula moving all his shit by himself content #monsterdon

Perfect coffin carrying music

#monsterdon
#NosferatuTheVampyre

he's just got a the bones of a human arm mounted on his wall #Monsterdon

#monsterdon There you go. Bootstrapping

#Monsterdon Ah yes we've gotten to the part where Dracula goes "I have super human strength I should just haul my own damn dirt boxes"

Dracula playing hide-the-coffins

#Monsterdon #Nosferatu1979

#Monsterdon "Okay, people, people ... please ... we need you to disembark in an orderly fashion before infesting London. You will all get your assignments soon."

well if you need a sweaty dude to tell you not to ship a bunch of black coffins filled with rats and dirt across the sea you might just be the sort to stick your bare foot in a box of wild rats #Monsterdon

Nosferatu, if you keep playing opera on your iPhone's loudspeaker, the whole damn town is going to know it was you.

#monsterdon

"I ate the pilot and I STILL got here in one piece! Goddamn, I am the best vampire evar LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO"

#monsterdon #mastoween #nosferatu1979

@wohali partner just read it, says there's no plague in the book #monsterdon

honestly these rats are too clean and well-groomed to be plague rats lol but i guess you have to make some compromises when filming #monsterdon

I wonder how hard it was to get the permits to release a thousand rats in... wherever this was filmed.

#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

Herzog wanted to release 11k rats in Delft, but the authorities naturally thought this a bad idea, so he relocated a few scenes to Schiedam.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon this was NOT filmed in Alberta Canada

Also there is NO way they wrangled all those rats back into whatever handler was dealing with them.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🧛 ⚰️ 🦇 🩸🕸️ 😱

All the sweet rattums are washing their little faces!

#Monsterdon I'd have a problem with a plague of them, but in general I find mice and rats (and bats) cute

"Captain's log, stardate 2122.3" #monsterdon

#monsterdon Rats mingling at the intermission.

#Monsterdon Plague ship! “Shut the doors and windows!” The CDC is on the job.

we did all wash out hands after handling the mystery corpse, right?

#monsterdon

Book fans: how heavily is it argued in the book that this is all the cause of the Plague?

#monsterdon

Great little rat actors. But why are none of the characters freaking out about dozens of rats just chilling next to them?
#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

"Could it be the plague?"

(beat)

OH ! SHIT ! #monsterdon

This London looks so much like Amsterdam #Monsterdon

Back when folks actually feared disease.

#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

Always sad when your ratio of funeral home space to mourners is this out of whack. #monsterdon

@otheorange_tag @strangefour At first I misread this as "dead retconning"

#Monsterdon

Yep not a drop of blood left in him 💀

#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

#monsterdon Told ya, those precooked meals

#Monsterdon you know there WERE rats in the book, but I never thought Dracula like... literally packed them in his boxes of earth?

I just assumed he could control rats wherever.

I do like the logic of this though

I've never gotten Renfield in most adaptations. Why is this one looney obsessed with a vampire he never met? Is he a deranged psychic? I know some versions (last week?) had him be a previous guest to Draculas castle, but why is he nutty here?
#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

You just don’t see that kind of work ethic any more. What American would lash himself to the wheel to bring this shipment of Vampyres to its appointed destination? None, I tell you. None.
#Monsterdon

These real bats are such an upgrade from last week’s discount fake bats! #Monsterdon

...They brought one of the coffins in to lay him on? Man, I know this is before vampires were well known but *jeez* #Monsterdon

How did the ship get there if none of the crew survived? Telekinesis?

#Monsterdon
#NosferatuTheVampyre

#Monsterdon Actually, I’m beginning to think the rats were piloting the ship. 🐀
