A reluctant Van Helsing. That's new.

#Monsterdon

I have to empathize with Nosferatu here. It is hard to get good help these days. #monsterdon

"...I know the reason for this evil!"
"What is it?"
"Fleas. It's fleas"

#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

The black death / plague is playing a much bigger role in this film.

#Monsterdon #Nosferatu1979

I love that annoyed look Dracula has with Renfield! #Monsterdon

The only way to defeat this Dracula is to build a Mechadracula to fight him #monsterdon

lol he just pushes Renfield away in the face

#monsterdon

forgetting the cry of the cock, you say? [taking notes]

#monsterdon #mastoween #nosferatu1979

What happened to the kittens? Are those two babies having to deal with hundreds of rats on their own?
#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

@apLundell Polycule.

#monsterdon

"I wish I could partake in the love between you and your husband..."

So is he angling for a three-way?

#Monsterdon

Lucy has a bit of a dark Gillian Anderson vibe, and I dig it.
#Monsterdon

So Nosferatu is a gentleman. Good to know.
#Monsterdon
#nosferatu

“Will you come to me and be my ally?”

Is “ally” what they’re calling it these days?

#Monsterdon

Sooooooo Drac _is_ actually trying to start a polycule with Lucy and Jonathan, is that what this scene is saying here?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Whoever called Lucy a goth was 100% spot on. She is really into this whole ‘poetry of death’ dialogue.

This conversation is so stilted
#monsterdon

This scene with the shadow entrance, but then they talk #monsterdon

this is the most herzog dialogue ever

#monsterdon

THAT is how you handle vampires not casting reflections in your vampire movie

#monsterdon

Very nice no-reflection practical effect, there.

#monsterdon

to be fair, she *does* have a lovely throat

#monsterdon

Door opens - squeeeeee
Very scary
#monsterdon

awwww Kinski-Nosferatu just wants to be a normie

#monsterdon

Vampires just can't find moving companies that will do coffins. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 11,000 rats? Holy Death of Rats, that’s an entire rat civilization.

And a a “rat behavioral biologist” who quit because animal cruelty. And non-union rat wages.

An exceedingly Dutch part of London, not a single Chicken Cottage or Vape Store in sight. what is this?

#monsterdon

Dracula being able to tote the boxes by himself is actually a plot point in the book, although in the book it's something he learns gradually, relying on fewer and fewer people. #Monsterdon

"This place is PERFECT! I love it! I found the best damn realtor, I mean I [cross] NNNNNGUGH okay what house doesn't have a few flaws"

#monsterdon #mastoween #nosferatu1979

Dracula stealing his own coffin off the boat is pretty funny, especially with the actor moving like he's sneaking in a cartoon. #monsterdon

Did you say plague? #monsterdon

That is ALOT of rats. Omg I hope they all got tiny paychecks and actors guild cards.
#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

"Could it be the Plague"?

"Cast looks at dead body"

Well done, everyone

#monsterdon

Drac once again doing his own heavy lifting. Y'know, he'd make a solid dock hand himself. #Monsterdon

I had pet rats as a kid so I'm on Team Aw Cute Little Ratties.

#monsterdon

Those rats are too cute to pass as plague carriers. #Monsterdon

the plague? every one side eyes the body. #monsterdon

@catzilla I swear, I saw Dutch signage!

#monsterdon #mastoween

Hey, the fang marks are actually a realistic distance apart and match Dracula's teeth. I reiterate that the bar is in hell #Monsterdon

🐀 RAT 🐀 PARTY 🐀 #monsterdon

Them some well-fed rats.

#Monsterdon

You know, with the original being a silent film these long stretches of just music and scenery really work well for herzog's style

#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

"...he lashed himself to the wheel"
"No judgement. Whatever you're into."

#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

World's most Amsterdam-ass London

#monsterdon

#monsterdon OK that last one was pretty niche

Oh just rats and dirt. No, like, clothes or heirlooms or furniture. Just rats and dirt packed in coffins. As you do. #Monsterdon

this lucy is like a renaissance painting just lurking around every corner. also A+ #monsterdon

#Monsterdon once again i want to give major kudos to the cinematography this film is consistently beautiful even if it makes very little sense

Could a dying captain lash himself to the steering wheel and point his ship to port now?

It would look a bit terrorist-y

Props for getting the right canal and everything though.

#monsterdon

If one could only laugh at life's little problems like Renfield. #monsterdon

Plague... Quarantine?

#monsterdon #mastoween

#Monsterdon The original “Captain’s log” delivery, by far the best. Always thought that was one of the most eerie parts of the book.

Who TF brought the man a box full of flies, anyway? #monsterdon

i looked away for a second to make some food and now we are on a boat. i am gonna assume dracula has become airborne and we are hunting him in the mists now #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Coffins on a cart. Coffins on a raft. Coffins on a boat. Oh, and the advanced guard of rats.

i do hate that the scene with drac slowly approaching our guy in bed threatening and a bit sexual and him not at all feeling like he can fight or run away is way too familiar and this is good filmmaking i guess #Monsterdon

This movie has so many amazing shots #monsterdon

Dracula doesn't know how to load coffins. That last one is gonna fall off a couple of miles down the road.

#Monsterdon #Nosferatu1979

That's some vigorous door opening there.

#Monsterdon

See Jonathan, he gave you the nice bedroom.

#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

Bit rude to be opening people's tombs like that....

#monsterdon

Oh no, someone forgot to close the gate and the Lucy got out.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon i love the use of darkness-forward lighting, and how dracula's clothes meld into the darkness so he has a giant white floating head

ugh this is so good

#monsterdon

Heh, Drac looks up like, Do you MIND I'm in the MIDDLE OF SOMEONE. #Monsterdon

What this month is teaching me is vampires have always been gay. #monsterdon

Dracula doesn't believe in boundaries #monsterdon

Dracula does not eat avocado toast. #Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

Vampyre is when you set them on fire #UndeadFacts #Monsterdon

"I'm here to turn down your sheets for you."
#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

She sensed a disturbance in the force.

#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

#Monsterdon Harker "I am never coming here for a sleep-over again!"

okay, legit amazing though, right here. the way he gliiides over to the bed, his hands all tensed up? amazing. #monsterdon

We may have arrived at the finding out (that Dracula is a vampire) stage

Or maybe not

There's no way to tell

#Monsterdon

Really like Drac being in black and white here

REAL hard to do before CGI

#monsterdon #mastoween #nosferatu1979

What if Harker was ripping Dracula off. Not just over charging for a new house but making him sign away rights to his own castle. What if landlords are the real evil and small home owning vampires are the victi-- this slow paced movie is making me brain storm a more interesting one...
#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

That shot with Nosferatu at the doorway is outstanding. Herzog is a genius.

#monsterdon

i also enjoy coveting mens wives throats #Monsterdon

Okay, Klaus, for this scene, I want you sad. Imagine you’ve just married a 25 year-old, but your Viagra prescription has run out
#Monsterdon

The inside of the castle seems to be in good condition but is a bit bare for decoration. #Monsterdon

actually I think I would be more scared of being alone with kinski the real person than with dracula

#monsterdon

This Dracula is much more sad than scary.

#Monsterdon
#NosferatuTheVampyre

dracula you have got to get out more my dog you might be eternal and immortal but like go out take in a show make some new vampires to hang with you don't have to just suffer in the abyss like this #monsterdon

Same complexion

#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

#Monsterdon we get it, you're having your mid-eternity crisis and want a change of scenery. sign on the dotted line

For those who couldn't quite make it out, I looked it up, and "Graf" is the German equivalent of the title "Count". #Monsterdon

I love that there's those two little bats sleeping in the broken window panes

#Monsterdon #NosferatuTheVampyre

just writing in my journal on a table full of twigs, as one does

#monsterdon

i guess this movie is appropriate for (canadian) fangsgiving #monsterdon

Paying a forlorn boy to play a violin in a specific corridor for 8 solid hours......

#monsterdon

Is the taxidermy gonna attack? #monsterdon

Props to this movie for being in what actually looks like a medieval building!

#Monsterdon

This castle/house... amazing. I saw a large house in southern France that was a bit like this... I want to say it'd been converted to a Picasso museum, perhaps.

Stunning architecture.

#monsterdon

Man say what you will about Nosferatu but the man knows his architecture #Monsterdon

im just picturing Dracula slicing watermelon tho

#monsterdon

Just lay back down, Lucy says, maybe it’ll see itself out!
#monsterdon

So I wasn't paying a ton of attention while doing dinner prep with the laptop on the counter, but did that just turn a turn for the very, very creepy right after Harker cut his finger?

#Monsterdon

This? This is why they invented window screens. #Monsterdon

oh thank fuck it's only rabies

#monsterdon #mastoween #nosferatu1979

The use of sound is what's grossing/freaking me out. All this breathing. #Monsterdon
