I never get tired of the ol' vampire-sneaks-up-on-someone-who-can't-see-them-because-they're-looking-behind-them-with-a-mirror scene #Monsterdon

Loving the token senior white couple feeling very uncomfortable - they’re going to tell everyone that they have black friends later that evening #monsterdon

These outfits range from the best looking cloths I've ever seen, and the most aggressively terrible patterns ever put into a sewing machine. I don't recall so much terrible patterning in the lasts movie. I wonder if it is due to the move from NYC to New Orleans, or due to the passing years, or the taste of the person in charge of costumes? #Monsterdon

Next, dude's gonna take out a white grease pencil and mark out precisely where his jugular is. Leave a note with a list of his active medications and blood type. Set out a plasma separator and a couple bags for the leftovers. #Monsterdon

snapping back into the plot after getting mentally sidetracked by the electromagnetism of vampires, and i'm wondering how everyone in his vicinity doesn't immediately surrender themselves as acolytes of william marshall #monsterdon

I just love how no matter how brutal the things he is saying are, this actor manages to make himself sound like the most sophisticated, urbane person in the room. #Monsterdon

With someone showing up in a cloak and no questions asked this party is either set in the 70s or at a college that ends in "institute of technology" any time in the past 30 years.

@noondlyt so they are already telepathic right? they actually don't interact with electromagnetism at all, so they just emit a telepathic image of themselves to all the biological beings around them. i wonder how their telepathic translator works such that it knows how to generate the appropriate percept across all different species and visual pathologies, etc. #monsterdon

That was a thrilling scene. Drac is smart, he knows his stuff. He's impressing the locals. I'm sure this is a situation where Marshall asked for enhancements to the script, and it shows.

@davesdogmaggie @jonny According to the commentary in my copy of Dracula (by an English prof) it was due to mirrors reflecting the soul: Since Vampires didn't have them, they didn't show in mirrors.

The whole silver connection is a modern explanation.

@Taweret if you have a more 'interview with the vampire' kind of vampire universe (i have only seen the show), where there are lots of regional vampires that sort of know each other but keep clear of each other because they are territorial, you'd imagine that there would be some vampire that has gotten some hidden monopoly on mirror manufacturing that can keep them non-vampire-reflective out of respect for tradition #monsterdon
