I don't think it makes up for how stoic the rest of the movie is, but damn if it doesn't stand out more as a result.

Every stake through the heart begins with Kay. #Monsterdon #SonOfDracula

Aww, happy in love music!

Um, wait a sec. I’m not sure this is supposed to be a happy ending #Monsterdon

This is probably the 40's version of "sexy music" huh

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

All you had to do was pay us a living wage. #Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

Do we need this exposition or what

Gotta admit that killing the Count by setting fire to his coffin was not an ending I would have predicted.

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

I know y'all are unimpressed with the bat, but honestly, the effects in this movie are really pretty good for 1943.

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula

this was a remarkably incompetent dracula, thanks for playing

#monsterdon

Dude. You threw Frank's body into a pool of water that's RIGHT NEXT to the burning coffin. And you can't figure out how to put out the fire??

#monsterdon

I can see why Dracula kicked this "son" out of the castle.

#monsterdon

I wonder if I can count (hehe) Alucard's hand turning to bone as "accelerated aging"' for bingo purposes

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

I do really like older, slower paced movies that let their plots breath. Star Wars is a great example: Compare the pacing of A New Hope to the first of the newest trilogy.

But you need more meat to back that up then this movie has.

#Monsterdon

Oh, it's the SUN of Dracula, Now I get it. #Monsterdon

Eat sunlight Dracula. And then fall into a puddle and drown. Wow you are so pitiful.
#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

Hit the flaming thing with more flammable things. That'll fix it.

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula

aw come on that's the ending of nosteratu

#monsterdon

1943 is also the year of Return of the Vampire, the legally-distinct Dracula sequel that Columbia made with Bela Lugosi that also had a werewolf and the eponymous vampire being resurrected during the blitz by German bombs.

It's not great, but it is more interesting than this.
#monsterdon

This was before Hollywood knew how to set people on fire for dramatic effect
#Monsterdon
#/ˌä-lä-ˈkärt/

Count Dracula is not used to putting out his own fires.

#Monsterdon

You. Are. In. A. Swamp. There is water frakkin' EVERYWHERE. #Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

The doctor knows were all the drainage tunnels are. #monsterdon

Frank, Prisoner of Dracula.

#monsterdon

so Count Dracula is an undead loathsome thing, but Kay being undead is cool and hot. gotcha.

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

you're not count alucard, you're dracula tnuoc!

#monsterdon

7 mins left!

It would have been so much better if Frank's middle initial were "N." and his last name "Stein"

I'm just sayin'

He walked halfway into the room and *between the sawhorses* before he said 'the entire coffin is gone!'

Lesser known Tina Turner song, "What's The Morgue Got To Do With It"

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula

"The coffin is gone!" "Of course."

don't you mean

OF CORPSE

#Monsterdon

I like how Kay was so drunk with her new power it didn't occur to her that they might be overheard.

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

Feed a steak to him?

#monsterdon

"He said unalive him!"

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

“Shove a steak thru him? Like a porterhouse?”

#Monsterdon

Remember, every man in this movie was rejected for active duty by the army. #monsterdon

@ramsey The think vampirism is just like money, a simple inheritance. #Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

'We must prevent Kay and Frank from "doing it" after they’re dead. That would _really_ be _nasty_.'

Truly, Frank has lost his mind. Running around without a three piece suit and a hat. Unthinkable!

Of course I'm serious. And don't call me Shirley. #Monsterdon #SonOfDracula

Kate is very high maintenance! #Monsterdon

Nutty as a Filbert.

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula

I am *loving* that she is double crossing Dracula!

#Monsterdon

I see you called it Macaroni, Claire

#Monsterdon

Okay, Kate. Respect for the diabolical plan. An independent woman needs a plan in a man's world. #monsterdon

This is a noir, with Dracula the patsy.

The Professor is like, "Dry? Decaying? My home Hungary is!"

Talk about a marriage of convenience #Monsterdon

wat about consent? not cool, Kay.

#monsterdon

Don't say the V word! #SonOfDracula1943 #Monsterdon

Don't use the V word!!!! #Monsterdon

We don't like the term V*mpire. Be woke, Frank, be woke. #Monsterdon

WHA WHA WHAT? COUNT DRACULA? BUT THAT'S NOT EVEN THE SAME ORIENTATION OF THOSE LETTERS?!?!? #monsterdon

Katherine definitely got more interesting when she turned undead

never mind that the bar was on the floor

Some people have died. Some people have died and gone on to do really well!

Really liked the seeping-mist and bat-silhouette sequences there.

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula

I'm getting really STEAMED about being in this coffin! #SonOfDracula1943 #Monsterdon

They smoking’ a brisket in there or what?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon de-cade-ent! Well, sure! We can go with that.

We have been spoiled by being steeped in vampire lore since birth. It saves us from all the unnecessary exposition on how vampires work instead of getting to the freakin' action already. #Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

well I can attest that morbid grrls also often take unpopular decisions

"Her sister could order her cremation" terrifying glimpse into how the professor thinks families work #Monsterdon #SonOfDracula

STOP CALLING HIM ALUCARD FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST!!!

#Monsterdon

Thanatophobia? No, this is most definitely thanatophilia.

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

"The girl was morbid." Oh, is that what they called "goth" back then?

#Monsterdon

"Professor, please get my bag."

"Bitch, I have never been here before. How do I know where your fucking bag is?"

#monsterdon

Kill him now!! #Monsterdon #SonofDracula 🧛🏾🎥🍿

hmm, no... large animal bites

#monsterdon

A simple cross!

Oh no, this one is special, from my home land, we call it a double cross.

Badum Pish.

It's great to be back in Tahoe, tip the waitstaff, try the veal.

Poor Danny Glick.

@moira I dunno, the whole movie's racist in that weird 1940s "we're not gonna say it out loud but you know what we're saying" way. #Monsterdon
