You may recall William Marshall as uber computer genius Daystrom in ST:TOS #Monsterdon

next you're gonna be telling me I can't sunbathe

#monsterdon

I'm guessing these are flashbacks to the original Blacula movie?

#Monsterdon

"Your only purpose on this earth is to serve me"

Now that is a quality line of cinema right there.

#Monsterdon

lol that piano melody cut was a choice

#Monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream

I don't even know if I WANT to be a vampire anymore ☹️

#Monsterdon

I'd forgotten: Blacula got style, yo

#Monsterdon

A little hard, but fair
#monsterdon

YOU'RE GOING NOWHERE!

SILENCE.

Fantastic pacing, esp. after Willis' speedy loquacious jive.

#monsterdon

I was fine with becoming a vampire but you didn't tell me I would then have the attributes of a vampire

#monsterdon

That tie is a play on the dot interstices illusion

#monsterdon
#ScreamBlackulaScream

Ok, but their clothes are invisible too? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "you're so vain, you probably think your Change is about you"

This is turning into an episode of "What we do in the shadows"

#Monsterdon

"...if I can't see myself, how am I supposed to treat myself?"

#Monsterdon #ScreamBlaculaScream

Sheeee-iiiit 😂#Monsterdon

First vamp tantrum

#monsterdon

@ottaross I mean, even the most tolerant of drinkers pass out by 0.5% ABV. That's just NA beer.

#Monsterdon

Whoa that’s a theme song and opening credits? Awesome #monsterdon

Do the eye blot Rorschach test and watch credits. 2-in-one.

#Monsterdon

💯 points to the movie for the reveal.

Marshall is easily the best vampire we've seen all month.

#monsterdon

Dude. I'm expecting freaking Schoolhouse Rock music. "Death... that's what's happenin!" #monsterdon

#monsterdon Love the LoveBoat-Horror movie intro mashup

My god that suit the newly made vampire is wearing could only exist briefly during the 70s.

"Aww man, you jivin' ?!"

#monsterdon

honestly not sure why he thought summoning a vampire would solve his problems and not just get him eaten by a vampire

#monsterdon

WAIT ARE WE 12 MINS IN WITH A TITLE CARD #monsterdon

#Monsterdon best cold open ever. suck it, snl

that was a lot of cold open but it kinda worked, I'll definitely give it that

very TV opening credits tho'

#mastoween #monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream

#Monsterdon freeze frame - funk music - title card - YES

Blacula's fangry.

#Monsterdon #ScreamBlaculaScream

Moving right along from necromancy to neck romancing :aDogEyebrows:

#Monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream

Chomp. Thriller eyes.

#Monsterdon

He apparently did not like being woken up

#monsterdon

So wait was he reborn with this whole outfit???? #monsterdon

Boy's gonna get cracked open by the cold one #Monsterdon

@ottaross see, for me this would've been Miller Time #Monsterdon

"he's right behind me, isn't he"
#monsterdon

He had a fireplace? Why didn't he do his burning skeleton ritual in the fireplace? Come on. Practice safe pyromancy. #Monsterdon

Such a powerful ritual, it resurrected Blacula's clothes too!

#monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream

Just the thing for post-ritual wind down ... a cold Coors.

#Monsterdon #ScreamBlaculaScream

Ah, yes, Coors Banquet, the traditional beer of failed rituals of the 70s

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🧛 ⚰️ 🦇 😱 😱

The vampire whose bones those were was some kinda Mastodon vampire cross those lobg bones were thicc

#Monsterdon in model rocketry we learned if the engine doesn't ignite, you can't just walk away -- it might be on a slow burn

you have to wait until it's guaranteed to have definitely fully failed before you wander off or go in

I am stressed about the smoke alarm not going off

#monsterdon
#ScreamBlackulaScream

"I can't afford more flammable vampire bones. Not in this economy."

#Monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai sure that's okay just specify the aspect ratio

#mastoween #monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream

this ritual really only has one shot i guess once the bones are burned theyre burned. cant do it twice.
#Monsterdon

Also was he speaking French? There's some layers here #monsterdon

DAMMIT! Bought the wrong wattage for the skull. Now it's all burned out.

[pulls another skull from the box]

#monsterdon

Now....wank onto the bones my friend....

#monsterdon

Lmao Blacula had like 6 femurs I guess, what a chad

#Monsterdon

The fire means it's working, right? #monsterdon

This ritual is fire.

#monsterdon #mastoween

if you're trying to use anime to resurrect vampires you're gonna end up with vampire princess miyu not blackula

#mastoween #monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream

Don't think we're gonna see an ASPCA logo in the credits on this one. #Monsterdon

No actual birds were Ozzied in the making of Scream Blacula Scream.

#monsterdon
#ScreamBlackulaScream

@nev I'm expecting Jackie Brown with bloodsucking #monsterdon

See?

#Monsterdon

Blacula comes back as a Cronenberg blob with this bone arrangement… #monsterdon

oh good, I'm glad that pigeon was obviously a doll, you never knew in the 70s
#monsterdon

sorry, birdie. i don't think you're gonna make it. #monsterdon

Don't get attached to the dove #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🧛 ⚰️ 🦇 😱 😱

sweet dovie oh no I'm scared

#Monsterdon

Don't do it man. The stock lighting footage outside is pretty ominous.

Black Torgo you are my favorite Renfield this month. But you are only just barely cooler than Nosferatu's Danny DeVito Renfield.
#Monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream

Now that is a pretty pigeon #monsterdon

Did somebody confuse voodoo with vampirism?

#Monsterdon

Not even 5 minutes in and we already have day for night! #monsterdon

Why did the old man not use the bones for his own revenge? There has to be some downside, right? Old man's fobbing off the costs onto Big Willis to get the revenge without feeding his soul to some eldritch beast?

#monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream

Infallible plan to take over the voodoo sect:

1) Dig up bones
2) Resurrect vampire
3) PROFIT

#Monsterdon

I ain't afraid of no power... You will be. You will be.

#monsterdon
#ScreamBlackulaScream

@catzilla checked jacket, small circular medallion, what's not to love? #monsterdon

May I suggest voting based on fashion / style choices? #monsterdon

Big Willis is an angry fellow. But I kinda want that hound's tooth jacket.
#Monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream

I like this guy's blazer but not his attitude towards Pam Grier #monsterdon

Succession (2018-2023)
#Monsterdon

nobody turns your back on THIS big willie

#mastoween #monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream

I love this in medias res opening, these people have a LOT going on

#Monsterdon

A power-struggle immediately after the death of a leader, the politics/monsterdon crossover we weren't expecting.

#monsterdon #mastoween

Wait, Voodoo isn't a DEMOCRACY! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon vampire probate court

Damn, I want that jacket.

#monsterdon

[soft voodoo music] #Monsterdon

Let's gooooooooooo

#Monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream

#Monsterdon 🧛 ⚰️ 🦇 😱 😱

Here we go!!

#MonsterdonAlert

#monsterdon

GOOOOO!

#Monsterdon I'm watching you 👀👀👀

54321.. GOOOOO!

#monsterdon

@apLundell
Correct. It's Halloween. It's time to loosen your bones. And move your dead bones. #Monsterdon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BnOUOkcr9c

@iaintshootinmis Maybe. But https://buffy.fandom.com/wiki/Stake_gun implies that a longer bullet / stake is needed. #monsterdon

@Configures @YsengrinWolf SLR cameras also contain mirrors to focus the image onto the film #Monsterdon

If you used wooden bullets, could you shoot a vampire? #Monsterdon

@YsengrinWolf Silver in film processing like silver in mirrors. Be interesting to see how digital photography would work on vampires. #ScreamBlaculaScream #Monsterdon

@trixter Not as though there was a shortage of other fine looking actor types who ended up getting vamped #monsterdon

@Zerofactorial He was hoping Lisa could use her voodoo powers to free him from his curse. #ScreamBlaculaScream #Monsterdon

1) Get voodoo doll
2) Sprinkle Cornmeal and EVOO on your doll.

If you don't have your own ground corn meal store bought is fine

3) Speak the dark magic while erotically choking the voodoo doll

#monsterdon

@Taweret I hope the ballots will be kept safe #monsterdon

Tagging this #monsterdon but in these obviously daytime shots pretending to be night time shots, what's happening practically? Do they have some kind of dampener on the camera? Something to dramatically reduce the ISO in post? The shots are super clear. So I imagine it wasn't happening to the film but rather the development.
