Ringo is 85 now, in case you were feeling old

Freddie Francis also directed Tales From The Crypt, Dracula Has Risen From His Grave (w/ Christopher Lee), Doctor Terrors House of Horrors, and some great Hitchcock-esque Hammer films: Paranoiac (1963) and Nightmare (1964)
Dracula versus Advertising
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
1973: Son of Dracula
1973: Rocky Horror
1974: Phantom of the Paradise
Something was in the water
#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1973 #SonOfDracula #wrongFrogs #SonOfDracula1973
Everybody's talkin' in this movie
I don't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind
Film dialogue and background music with lyrics donβt mix
That indescribable VHS color smear
Another odd one. Thanks @miru and everyone have a good week!
Ringo is conquering evil with trick pool shots?
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
Count Downe would be such a good supervillain name
Oh no itβs porno smear vision
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
Find someone that loves you as much as white British rock musicians love trying to play reggae
βYou are all my children, Baron Frankensteinβ
These are some lines
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
Son Of Scmilsson was really Harry at his best. Maybe The Point, but the narrative bits get annoying
@strangefour sure I guess idk
This falls apart if you think about it too hard
or if you don't think about it very hard at all
@strangefour I guess the monsters are trying to prevent Amber from being used in the operation to make Count Downe human, because... idk I kinda lost the plot a bit
Patients
Nuclear Waste
same thing really
Are we sure this isnβt Troma creeping in?
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
At least Nilsson didnβt try to do a Jamaican accent [glares at McCartney]
If this were more like Phantom Of The Paradise, they might have had something
This is NOT Funkytown
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
@strangefour yeah the musical interludes are really the saving grace of this one
Oh, the kitty who became a beautiful lady was Shakira Baksh, a.k.a. Lady Caine, wife of Sir Michael Caine
Donβt sleep with your β¦coworkers? Drac
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
Ah, so Drac wants to abdicate
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
How is Vincent Price NOT in this?!
Oh hey they got an Interociter!
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
Fresh dirt for the coffin, essential
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
Dracβs pad is HAPPENING
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
The Wax Museum! The Perfect Hideout!
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
Admittedly I can just enjoy the Nilsson
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
Itβs like if two trees had dialogue.
OMG Ringo, maybe the music will be passable, or at least nothing we have heard yet
Freddie Jones! He also starred in Hammer's Satanic Rites of Dracula the same year!
finished watching Son of Dracula πππππ
Meandering mess with a few musical moments of interest. Ringo Starr in particular underwhelms as Merlin.
Watched in #MonsterMiru watch party on Mastodon after #Monsterdon
So anyway, Drac fell hard for a girl named Amber.
This #monsterdon #wrongfrogs was sure a something
...and then Ringo/Merlin became The Sun in The Teletubbies, The End #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature
@strangefour huh me too actually
nooooo please don't make me remember any of that
Thanks as always @ryan for hosting and everybody for posting! See you next week!
Draculaβs now a Real Boy!
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
HAND IN UNLOVEABLE HAND
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
Theyβre gonna fill Nilsson with the finest Heinz ketchup
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
You and the netherworld fight
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
Pool table, operating table, same thing really
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
I suppose that is
Addressing the table
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
Dracβs had the Keith Richards blood transfusion treatment
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
I feel like they are trying to be intellectual here and the sound engineers are completely undermining them
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
Is that a groovy purple coffin?
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
β¦this is the extended music videos portion of our film.
Enjoy!
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
The movie that dares to answer the question "What if The Old Grey Whistle Test was even MORE shrill and tedious, and went on for what feels like weeks at a time?" #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature
Oh good more Nilsson singing so I can forget the plot faster
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
This had a good start but the interminable meal with a vampire has awful pacing
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
Oh, one of my favourite Nilsson tracks!
This is the same coronation room used by the British Empire you know
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
Ah so this is Van Helsing
Finally Explained
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
Gandalf's mirror gets more than one channel?
Ringo's "Merlin" has smashed my decades-long belief that I would never encounter a Merlin worse than the one in the K Gordon Murray Santa Claus movies #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature
Another kind of vampire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hollywood_Vampires
@strangefour Theoretically yes... in practice, we'll have to see
This movie and I apparently have vastly different ideas about the meaning of "Rock 'n' Roll" π #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature
This song is very The Point
#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1973 #SonOfDracula #wrongFrogs #SonOfDracula1973
Fair warning, Wikipedia seems to think there is something of an actual plot to this one
Is Merlin's basement just the London Dungeon?
This is the most ominous nothing I've seen in a long time
The only reason i know Harry Nilsson is because of the βGotta Get Upβ theme in βPoker Faceβ with Natasha Lyonne #monsterdondoublefeature #monsterdon #sonofdracula1974
Donβt drink donβt smoke, what do you doβ¦
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
random drums being the best part of this movie so far
This is Porn-tastic levels of mediocre acting from old Ringo here. From everyone, actually #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature
yes this totally sounds like Merlin
OH NO
BRITISH TEETH
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
Ghostbusters mobile!
Is thatβ¦the ghost mobile??
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
"A vampire prince falls for a human while competing with Baron Frankenstein for the Netherworld crown promised by Merlin at a monster convention."
of course
#wrongson #monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature
Ringo as Gandalf-bot!
Son of Dracula (1974) now on https://miru.miyaku.media !
I think. Some nonsense is happening, not sure if movie or trailer. #monsterdon #WrongSon #monsterdondoublefeature
Despite appearances, Rod Stewart is not on this film
#monsterdon #wrongfrogs
Well that was a thing. Thanks @miru @Taweret for another fabulous #monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature #sonofdracula1974 β€οΈβ€οΈ see you next week!
Remember how bad Son of Dracula 1974 was?
"I leave for all time my ties to your world" made them VERY angry, they must have seen how ugly all the ties in this movie are #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature
To the Dracula family estate for a press conference
I don't want to see him discharge anything, in any way #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature
"Oh, I took the liberty of changing your girlfriend's name to Rebma. Also she's dead" #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature
*clink clink clink* now kiss!
The two leads and the principal couple of the movie: the tassled lampshades #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature
Both the song writers of "I Can't Live If Living is Without You" committed suicide, in part because of legal issues over the song's royalties once Nilsson's cover became huge
Important to have your backup singers well trained when going into surgery
@diazona @strangefour Plot? Thereβs a PLOT?
@moira this is a good sentence
Merlin is the chairman of the Netherworld Council huh
DOCTOR SCOTT
