@apLundell Sometimes a person just wants to twirl, however #monsterdon
I'm awarding this one a half star over the original Blacula, and not just because of the Bechdel pass between Gloria and Lisa #monsterdon #letterboxd
For those of you scrolling through your timeline, you're about to hit a big mass of Monsterdon postings about Scream Blacula Scream (1973).
Should you not wish to read through them, here's how to filter them out, at least on the web browser:
1) right click on the gears & open in a new tab
2) choose "Filters" then "Add New Filter"
3) give the filter a title, check all boxes under contexts, choose hide completely and put "#Monsterdon" in the keyword box.
4) Click on "Save New Filter"
... and you're done.
Capes seem like an impractical item of clothing.
If you're going to drape cloth across your shoulders, why not add some buttons and make it a jacket?
@paco I have to say I appreciate you getting me into #Monsterdon
@socketwench They didn't do enough Austin Powers cryo-stasis gags, though. Despite being dead for like 250 years, Mamuwalde is not phased at all by horseless carraiges, electric lights, funk music, etc.
So we can bring him back in 2024 for the third one and find out if iPhones can photograph vampires. See him unable to unlock an iPhone because it can't see him in facial recognition.
See him unable to enter a hotel room, even invited, because he doesn't know how to load a hotel app on his phone and tap it on the door.
@Taweret A bold approach to the genre.
@Haileyeliah He was thirsty! #Monsterdon
@Rozzychan Everyone thinks that of power until they figure out it comes with its own shackles.
@combatwombat Maybe he should have used the magic word "Please!" #monsterdon
@trixter The thing is, when I hear voodoo I think zombies, a whole different kettle of fish #monsterdon
@moira Yeah, but it didn't *seem* like it necessarily worked out that way, though I can't be sure. I thought that it was that she was just less annoying than any of the others he met in this time period #monsterdon
The moral of the story is that you don't really need Mina, Lucy, van Helsing, Mrs. Westenra, Renfield, or Jonathan if you want to make a vampire movie. Just the main dude #monsterdon
One of the movies Plex recommended after finishing Scream Blacula Scream was Undercover Brother and I wonder if it knows something
@Zerofactorial He could sense that her powers were real (and might be what could free him from the curse)
Big thanks to @Taweret for an enjoyable flick this evening!
Okay, but why is it that Blacula was such a Lisa stan? I missed that #monsterdon
@CactuarJoe I think Combover Guy was played by the actor who later won two Emmys as the desk sergeant who gave the police announcements every morning? on Hill Street Blues. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0175700/ #Monsterdon #ScreamBlaculaScream
I swear this wasn't an intentional bit, but I appear to have bifurcated the thread with this post lol #Monsterdon
Turns out Blacula/Mamuwalde was a Ken #monsterdon
@ricci how small or how little wood constitutes a stake effective enough to stop a vampire? can a splinter through the heart stop them? Can I load wood plus into a shotgun and strole through the vampire caverns?
#Monsterdon
End title song. Oh so 70s.
What??? #monsterdon
I think maybe for the first time since my first #Monsterdon, I successfully kept all of my posts in a single thread!
Hey, Blacula, no means no #monsterdon
@SarraceniaWilds okay it took me a second but lol
is there a bdsm monster movie we can do next so my typos feel at home #Monsterdom
@diazona yeah, i'm not sure what to do with a movie with Actual Writing in it anymore. #monsterdon
@CactuarJoe @yatsu That almost makes too much sense for #Monsterdon
Oh, itβs the ending #monsterdon
the youtube version just adds the title card sequence again, silently, at the end of the movie. it's very eerie. i am taking this as canon #monsterdon https://youtu.be/99SS1PnW7Jk?t=5842
@jonny I'm also getting it on the youtube rip
@CactuarJoe yes! π― #monsterdon
That was pretty good~ #Monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream
@Haileyeliah Pneumatic fangs. #Monsterdon
this was legit a pretty good vampire flick.
@moira The stakeholders have too much say over over the situation. When does the public interest come in? ##Monsterdon
Oooh great use of voodoo doll!!! #monsterdon
Had 46 minutes left in the original movie, so I'm gonna watch that now. Night, all!
"KEYTRUDA is not right for everyone" This ad's talking about vampires, right? #monsterdon
So long again Prince Mamuwalde. You are the best vampire noble. Better than any dime store Dracula.
#Monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream
Gloria come back to get vengeance on who ever did her funeral hair. I'd haunt them too
is anyone else getting a post-credit scene or is that just the messed up youtube rip #monsterdon
Craig T. Nelson played "Sarge".
#Monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream
Thanks all, thanks @Taweret , good good #Monsterdon
So good, loved every minute of that
Voodoo dolls. The original Remote Work
THE END
The King of Cartoons was a fantastic Count, and there was a more than sufficient level if screaming in this #Monsterdon to live up to its title. Thanks for a great finale to this Halloween vampire series @Taweret !
#Monsterdon welp that was actually a lot better than i expected for a sequel :D
good times, everyone
This was a great finale to #Mastoween! Thanks to @Taweret for hosting, @cheribaker for the bingo card, and @Louisa for the official art: https://thediremushrump.threadless.com/designs/four-dracula-moon
Lisa's motivated by not wanting to waste all those years learning applied voodooology in grad school #monsterdon
@Taweret that was fantastic! thank you as always for hosting #monsterdon
Lol and now, Donovan to sing Burt Bacharach's impish Blacula Love Theme
THAT'S IT!?? A red head shot and Burt Bacharach!? We've had a lot of sudden stops but that one gave me whiplash. As ever thanks to @Taweret for hosting! I gotta go put a hot pack on my neck and stretch my tight bones. #Monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream
@Taweret thank you for being the Jonathan Harker of #monsterdon
π¦ fin π¦
#Monsterdon
@Taweret really was, strong ending
Death by a voodoo doll.
Mamuwalde done in by eastern european poppet magic misattributed to voodoo.
The horrific irony.
#Monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream
My favorite classic MST3k credits joke. "The winner, and still photographer, John Shannon!" #Monsterdon
that was a fun ending to our Dracula quartet
I really enjoyed that one, the Rotten Tomatoes rating was far off, in my opinion. Thank you all and have a good night completely 100% free of, well, anything we saw in this movie except for the parties before they turned lame.
The next film that my streaming service queued up was invasion of the bodysnatchers. No. I'm not gonna watch it.
I think the time is right for Blacula 3, tbh. #Monsterdon
@amyfou I've been fast forwarding and am still fourteen minutes behind #monsterdon
How did he drain her blood in like 3 seconds
The movie was named "Scream, Blacula, Scream" just for this ending?
#monsterdon
#monsterdon And so ends another #mastoween #monsterdon ! Thanks everyone, RIP Blacula / Mamuwalde. We hardly knew ye.
Thanks @Taweret and everyone who comes to these shindigs - i see you! you are appreciated.
i guess thats why he didnt scream before, it ends the movie
#Monsterdon
And, the abrupt end after all the buildup. Fade to credits.
OK dude, you're gonna be in the soundtrack, but you're gonna be singing over the end credits. Is that OK?
(Why did someone let my washed up lounge singer grandpa into this movie?)
That's all folks.
#monsterdon leaving the window open for another movie?
okay so my expectations were very very low but
this did _vastly_ exceed them
#Monsterdon (Ending theme intro?) This feels like it should be on the Cats soundtrack. Okay now it's a jellicle disco...
Stay around for the song over the closing credits!
#Monsterdon
Some local homeowner's wondering who stole all the pickets off their fence #monsterdon
The Ballad of Blacula
#monsterdon
damn that was a much grimmer scream of agony than i expected from Scream Blacula Scream #monsterdon
And ... title!
Amazing final shot, RIP Blacula #monsterdon
End credits hitting again
#Monsterdon
and there it is!
Womp womp, goofy trumpets play, back to square one blackula. See you next week on oops all blackula
#Monsterdon there's a SONG at the end omg
he sqweem.

While everyone else is watching the climactic scenes of this film, we've got an AARP ad over here
@brooke TBH I'd been waiting for that to happen so long I was starting to think there was some reason it wouldn't work
HELL OF A DEATH SCENE!
"that ursula le guin true name shit doesn't work here!"
Well, there's a moral event horizons
"Mamuwalde..."
*head tilt*
"THE NAME IS BLACULA!!"
#Monsterdon #ScreamBlackulaScream
Lissaaaa come onnnnn this is spiritual bypassing and it's very toxic if you don't run away with Blacula #monsterdon
Well, so I guess that was the scream?
#Monsterdon
Youβre tearing me apart Lisa!!! #Monsterdon
Oh man, that's gotta hurt!
