Blackula trying to use the vernacular of the day, with such disdain, is awesome
@ottaross 'tired, red and sweaty' #monsterdon
He left the sink dripping
#monsterdon
@ottaross He was the sergeant in Hill Street Blues and was also in The Longest Yard, to name a few of his more well known roles. Michael Conrad. #Monsterdon
vigilante blacula was not on my bingo card #monsterdon
The cop has a bit of a Hutch look (David Soul?) from Starsky and Hutch of the same era. Wouldn't be that old then though, no?
βBe careful out there.β
Did I just reference Hill Street Blues? Damn right I did. #Monsterdon
If you are driving a car and a vampire is driving behind you, following you, can you see his car in your rear view mirror?
Blacula isn't very picky about who he bites #monsterdon
lol, white cop is now Whitesplaining things
Sheeeeit #monsterdon
"Do you want some company"
And all she's offering is a sympathetic ear, nothing sexual
Retractable teeth and retractable facial hair. The lore always forgets about the later.
and transition to a silly bat in front of a drunk guy
#monsterdon
Itβs ill-advised to cut yourself if you might be in the presence of a vampire. #monsterdon
They're really leaning in on the neck-biting scenes in this flick.
Those fake eyelashes are something #monsterdon
Wow the checkered pants

Star Trek: The Ultimate Computer - Daystrom's Last Hurrah...

My dog is totally transfixed by this movie
William Marshall is a delight. He switches between "suave charmer", "haughty aristocrat", and "ravening beast" so smoothly. I don't know if there's been another actor who has captured all of the different facets of the vampire archetype so well
Blacula just βwell actuallyβdβ the doctor. #Monsterdon
Those couch pillows look like M&M mascots, no?
i've heard that the reason vampires don't show up in mirrors is because mirrors are made of silver
does that mean werewolves don't show up in mirrors either
#monsterdon
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!
How come vampires are always rich? I want trailer park representation.
Now I want that self-rotating globe of some planet or other
#monsterdon
Could put somebody's eye out with that torpedo bra #monsterdon
#Monsterdon whatchu talkin' bout willis
Wish I could pull off a top like that dude, perfect lounge wear
Dear lord the bra on here came straight from the 50s!
Ha! We actually got a β Station Wagon. #Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo
Wood paneled station wagon, now that's where it's at #monsterdon
Daynight is upon us once again
#Monsterdon blacula laying down the ground rules for this d/s relationship
godDAMN now that's a suit & tie combo
Sorry, William Marshall, but this man will always be my blacula
It's over! What a great movie
Time to get your groove on, #Monsterdon !
11 minutes in and we have Blacula! Strong pacing
Pam Grier's like uhhh... need new agent. Not what I thought I was signing up for.
Chomp (sort of)
Hope you have another cold one for blackula there, he's going to be thirsty!
I don't see any fire safety equipment nearby. This is just drunk and disorderly. #monsterdon
Maybe he should have done this ritual OUTSIDE. #monsterdon
@moira Can I get Remila or Flandre Scarlet, though?
solid well thought out plans always involves vampires bones and bowls of blood
@trixter I was just waiting for it #monsterdon
Funny. It didnβt cry at all. #Monsterdon
I SEE NO WAY WHATSOEVER THAT RESURRECTING A DANGEROUS VAMPIRE WILL GO WRONG
uh oh no
#monsterdon
I did not check does the dove die dot com
Dude's gonna accidentally summon the cenobites, isn't he?
Birb! D:
#Monsterdon here's the blacula instruction manual
Revenge Bones come with instructions
Someone has been called a "jive-ass bitch", we have arrived!
Quick! Where do I click to buy that checkered suit jacket and medallion combo?
I introduce my youngest daughter this evening to the miracle that is Blacula. She's in for a treat! #monsterdon
This Blackula better be funky
Did a Byzantine monk just attack this cop??
@byteseu #Monsterdon vibes. βοΈ
@trixter Oh well, maybe the character wasn't motivated by logic as much as other urges #monsterdon
Haven't been able to #monsterdon in a while. Turns out the time isn't good for me (classes on Monday will do that!). Next semester I'll jump back in, I swear!
@Taweret A bold approach to the genre.
@Rozzychan Everyone thinks that of power until they figure out it comes with its own shackles.
@Lazarou OMG - *is* there a sequel? Please.
@paco That was interesting mythology. He introduced himself as Mamuwalde at the party when he was in control. But when his rage demon curse took over, he identified as Blacula, and was angry at Justin for using his other name. Which really fit in with his having asked priestess Lisa (Pam Grier) to help free him. BUT I think freeing him would have killed him. Maybe he thought he'd stay immortal but just not lose control any more? #Monsterdon #ScreamBlaculaScream
Dude was so mad he couldn't see his reflection. Like: it shows, man. Surely if you could SEE yourself you wouldn't have dressed like that. #monsterdon
Without public libraries, where would we go to research vampires and bat species?
A power that will give me Freedom!
Interesting ending theme.
#Monsterdon
If you're interested in which exact moment I used for each of these drawings, we have
Nosferatu (Klaus Kinski) interrupted while biting Jonathan Harker
Dracula (Jack Palance) repelled by a cross in his medieval portrait room
Count Dracula (Christopher Lee) caught drinking Mina Murray's blood
And, of course, Blacula (William Marshall) announcing that he is BLACULAAAAAAAA
If the obstacles continue, let us know. We can have someone "taken care of" or help you in other ways.
Personally, I was hoping that the "Spirit of Vampires" was pulled from Mamuwalde just in time to leap into Justin as he breaks into the room.
Justin then slaughters everybody, including the now mortal Mamuwalde, Lisa, and the remaining cops.
#Monsterdon π§ β°οΈ π¦ π± π±
Oh Blacula. You are the best of us. See you next time.
I dig it
Thanks @Taweret for hosting and everyone for posting! A fitting end to Halloween season here on #Monsterdon (well if anything it may have been too good but I'll take it)
Thanks for another great #monsterdon! We had Blackula 2, Scream edition with only some screaming but wow was it scream.
we also had lots of jive. Police violence. A gold medal in police tossing for Prince Mamuwalde. vampire lore drop, vampire's can be resurrected, killed , and possibly cured with voodoo. I'm a little disappointed, I don't think the costumes were as exciting, but kudes for putting more vampires in capes
overall a great time!
@Lazarou I'm conflicted because the vampires could be construed as being insurrectionists #monsterdon
@Zerofactorial unfortunately steep loans and all the jobs are in applied voodoo not theoretical voodoo #Monsterdon
Pretty good crossbow sfx to be honest #monsterdon
@raindrops_and_roses Awesome, great to have you! You probably picked a better one than average.
The long standing #monsterdon tradition of movies that donβt know how to end
Anyone else wishing there was a third film so we'd get that redemption arc?
The thing is, it seems like Blacula had this really easy way to persuade her, even as she's terrified. Like "look, I'm a monster, right? You're terrified. I'm literally asking you to take this monstrousness away from me. Not only will I not hurt you, but you'll make me mortal again." Like, he coulda said "science dude, take a seat. This will just take a minute, wrapped up the ritual and called it a day.
whoa post-credits scene? (in the YouTube version)
nothing happens though, it's just a zoom in on Blacula's teeth
and back out
and more Rorschach blobs
that one's a pterodactyl
that one's a tiger paw
that one's a naked dude about to run a race
...oh he's on fire
wait Blacula is back
what is the meaning of this I'm so confused
Blackula was a prince in life. And Dracula was a count, of course.
I wonder what would happen if the head vampire was just some guy. Would they still slaughter peasants to achieve their goals? #Monsterdon
this was legit a pretty good vampire flick.
@yatsu Also the whole thing with Mamuwalde finally succumbing to the Vampire Beast Instinct there at the end and THAT being what turned Pam against him. Like, Justin may have interrupted the ritual but he kinda ultimately screwed himself at the end there. #Monsterdon
mm, yeah, all of these dracula movies this month were amazing. i don't wanna say this one topped them all, coz like, Christopher Lee, but the idea of a vampire hunting for a way to cure himself, and finding one that actually seems to be working, only for some dumbass hunter to interrupt the process and lose him everything is some real Pathos that i 100% enjoyed. #monsterdon
Alas, the tragedy of Blacula. Goodnight #monsterdon and thanks to @Taweret for hosting!
