Feather boa and a Mustang convertible, I like how she rolls.

Let's try to normalize it during the Halloween period.

#Monsterdon

This only makes sense if the guy who threatened revenge against the cult is trying to destroy the cult.

But what are the odds of that? #Monsterdon

"when did they start actually filming things at night" #NevGoogles #Monsterdon

<sigh> why is nightday never convincing

#monsterdon

@amyfou "your Grandad is about to kick ass" #monsterdon

ACAB #monsterdon

Movie's slowing down now
#monsterdon

The vampire's least known but most useful power is the ability to make everyone in the county spontaneously forget everything they know about vampires. #Monsterdon

it's not a real vampire's coffin unless it creaks like the dead. A+ #monsterdon

@moira he is society policing itself #monsterdon

#monsterdon transforming into a _cartoon bat_ is a pretty cool power. It feels appropriate for the early/mid seventies.
~40:00- I like that he quicly picked up on what was going on with the pimps but was taking "bread" literally. There was some cartoon around the same time where it was a couple of hippy looking dudes holding guns in one hand and loaves in the other beside a bakery truck, captioned like "Jeeze, it _was_ bread"

And people wonder why cops are not to be trusted.

#Monsterdon

Well I wouldn't have put my coffin in the basement with the window, that's just asking for trouble later...

#monsterdon

Blacula taking a side quest to update the Wiki articles on all these African necklaces from the river region.

It's dedication like this that makes the Wikeverse great. #Monsterdon

(copula?)

#mastoween #monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream

"I'm sorry I don't have any 'bread' with me. And as for kicking my ass... I strongly recommend that you give it careful consideration before trying."
#Monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream

@ottaross maybe it's his dad? #monsterdon

she was drained of blood through two little holes in her neck and there was literally a guy at the party in a Dracula outfit

this doesn't require you to be Sherlock holmes

#monsterdon

oh a white racist cop throwing out some racism this must've been the easiest part of the film to write

#mastoween #monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream

Man, that facial hair comes out quick.

#monsterdon

waste not want not

#mastoween #monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream

He'll be fine
#monsterdon

uh oh
#monsterdon

They're awfully friendly/rude for pimps
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon CW: *f-slur*

"...want some company?"
"No thanks, I already ate."

#Monsterdon #ScreamBlaculaScream

Is a sign that says "drop in any time" an invitation?

#Monsterdon

@ottaross

i was waiting for the bat!

#monsterdon

cartoon bat is a little silly but the flapping rubber bat on a string they used in all the hammer movies was much sillier #monsterdon

See? Vampires are incorporeal. That's why they don't show up on technology, only in our minds.

The silver thing is a red Herring. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon fake bat, but better than any we've seen before

I know it's a movie cliche because we need to see someone has an injury, but if you're bleeding through a bandage, you need a new bandage

#Monsterdon

WE FINALLY GET A VAMPIRE -> BAT TRANSITION WORTH A DAMN it's been a whole month #monsterdon

BAT! #Monsterdon

SHEeeeeIT #Monsterdon

BAT!!!!

#Monsterdon

"BAT!"

#monsterdon

Loving the sound track here. And in the incongruity of continuing the slow jam music as she gets attacked is *chef's kiss*

#Monsterdon

(empty McDonalds cup sounds)

#Monsterdon

They didn't actually tell Pam Grier this was a #blacksploitation #horror film. They just found a privileged white woman and recorded her natural reactions. The early 70s were a hard time in race relations. #monsterdon

Sorry **Janee Michelle not Pam Grier

"i've got to have you" "i lose control" this music choice is amazing. #monsterdon

Vampires do make more sense as social predators than lonely weirdos. The only way Dracula could get his food to come to him was buying a house in another country. #Monsterdon

The writers spent so much time trying to figure out how to bring back the main character they forgot everything else. Like, for instance, plot. #Monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream

Little known fact: Saxophones make vampires very thirsty.

#Monsterdon

the old white couple are not having a very groovy time

#monsterdon

How did they find the two whitest people in the 70s? And why?
#Monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream

These rich old white people just sitting there feeling good about the charitable contributions they've made to Black academia.

#monsterdon

who are these two and who invited them?! #monsterdon

yes, i must go, i'm about to make a social faux pas that would get me uninvited from every party on this block. if you'll pardon me. #monsterdon

Who the black bloodsucker
that's a sex machine to all the chicks?
(Blacula)
Ya damn right

Who is the man that would
sink his teeth in his brother's neck?
(Blacula)

#Monsterdon

Nothing a little nail polish remover won't fix.

#Monsterdon

Science? I never though of it that way...
#monsterdon

...OH, Mamuwalde would've skipped the whole creation of voodoo! Wonder what he'll make of it. #Monsterdon

Subtitles guy: "[FUNKY MUSIC PLAYS]"
Me: I'll be the judge of that!

[music plays, is funky]

Me: You got lucky this time, Subtitles Guy

#monsterdon

Not enough Draculas really put themselves out there and make friends

#Monsterdon

I've been 'retired' for many years. Yeah blackula, I'll retire when I'm dead too

#Monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream

Mamuwalde is the smoothest man at any party he's ever at. Of course he's flirting with Pam Grier.
#Monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream

No black people ever danced like that in the history of dance, parties, or black people. #Monsterdon

Blacula’s voice is just amazing #monsterdon

I love that once again he's wearing this vampire-ass vampire cape and everyone just accepts this as a reasonable fashion choice.

#monsterdon

The scariest part so far is Willis' tie

#Monsterdon

Just imagine Herzog's Nosferatu tryna be this slick

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Wait... Blacula is Dr. Daystrom?!
😮 :veri_trek2:

Did they say the "Ebonic" tribe? #monsterdon

sure, it's easy to be a history nerd when you lived it

#Monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream

#Monsterdon 🧛 ⚰️ 🦇 😱 😱

I don't know why she would just keep screaming like that but yes, eventually she would hyperventilate

#Monsterdon 🧛 ⚰️ 🦇 😱 😱

Hey blackulas that lady isn't gonna be able to run very fast in that dress at least

AH SHIT! Blacula jumpscare!
Don't do that to my heart Mamuwalde.
#Monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream

"Um, sorry lady - I've never vampired before."

--Vampire intern

#Monsterdon

@jonny@neuromatch.social Perhaps it's a property of silver, so silver-backed mirrors won't reflect them but bronze and aluminium mirrors will. And silver nitrate film won't catch them but a DLSR might.

#Monsterdon #ScreamBlaculaScream

Can I eat her boss? Can I? #monsterdon

This was clearly the title scene. Scream, then Blacula, then scream some more. More like "Scream, Blacula, Scream, Lather, Rinse, Repeat." #monsterdon

That’s right. Always run TO the danger. #monsterdon

Rather than screaming maybe run. Or kick him below the belt. Like DO something.

#Monsterdon

This lady was paid per scream
#monsterdon

so far all the screaming has not been by blacula #monsterdon

Classic vampire pincer movement

#monsterdon

He's not the fastest vampire
#monsterdon

God damn lady what is that bra made of? You have the structural integrity of a suspension bridge at work showing you into a room before you get into the room.
#Monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream

First shrieking lady of the evening! #monsterdon

Oh sure, run TOWARDS the screaming. Goodbye ma'am. #Monsterdon

So since vampires not seeing themselves is particular to mirrors, but they can still be seen by biological eyes that there must be something very fucked up about the way light refracts off of them that it doesn't survive as a coherent image through a first reflection - the light bends and scatters off of them in such a way that it decoheres. they also don't show up in photos and videos right? does that just have to do with the fact that most cameras use lenses to focus the light? like if one just directly exposed a sensor or film to light without a lens in the way you could capture the vampire?

#monsterdon

@rallias @Lazarou Carfoxy Brown #monsterdon

now THAT was a classic Dracula lunge! Nice!

#Monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream

Same interior decorator did Graceland #monsterdon

"ELAINE?" "JERRY?" "KRAMER?!"

#mastoween #monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream

Chekov's squeaky globe.

#Monsterdon #ScreamBlaculaScream

@Zerofactorial @Lazarou

Or the Carfox?

#Monsterdon

Louis (Arnold Williams) was also in Live and Let Die. #Monsterdon

A bullet bra so sharp she could put an eye out

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou Willis is the Carfax of this film #monsterdon

Different Strokes would have been a very different show if Willis had been a vampire.

#Monsterdon

@allanb Whatcha' talkin 'bout?

#Monsterdon

WHATCHU TALKIN- oh screw it, it's too easy #Monsterdon

There will be a good Wilis joke in here at some point
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Started abt 10m late.
Bones and dead bird ritual.
Bird looked pretty real. 🤔

LOL my son is practicing bass clarinet and it's in the same key as this music. Blended right in

#Monsterdon

"Can I be Darth Blacula?"

"No."
