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.

#monsterdon

Poor Danny Glick.

#Monsterdon

@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

So maybe we just need to give Dracula some Brawndo #monsterdon

"it would take too long to explain" in a movie that has been, by my estimation, 70% explanations.

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

Lazlo holds a cross like it was an FBI id card or some shit like that
#monsterdon

"It would take too long to explain why they fear it, but they do."

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

#Monsterdon Kay has a Mandela effect existence problem. Sometimes she’s alive, sometimes she’s not. Like the Hokey Pokey.

He proves his worth with the cross #monsterdon

Alucard got smoked out by a cross.
#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

It's nice to know that Transylvania is a depopulated wasteland... that nevertheless has universities that can employ vampire specialists.

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

Virile?

#Monsterdon

Lazlo is our Van Helsing

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

he needs america's precious bodily fluids

#monsterdon

Where wolf? There wolf. There castle.

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula

No one expects the Alucard inquisition!

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula

... I swear I just heard the Star Trek transporter sound

#monsterdon

Ah... yes. The class war metaphor surfaces... The land is barren and destroyed. Yes. Aristocrats can do that to you.

Ah. Speak of the Devil.

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula

@strangefour #monsterdon

Thank you!

"A younger country, stronger and more virile." There's a lot going on here

#Monsterdon

Stronger and more virile! U-S-A! U-S-A! #Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

(you know a movie's rough when you have time to compliment the subtitles, nevermind the wherewithal to compliment them)

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

also, i appreciate the subtitles on the Miru cut, very good.

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

@moira She's full of probiotic bullets

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

@TrishEM "Somehow, despite Frank shooting two and killing one. I think we will just go investigate this Alucard character."

#monsterdon

@Terencio

Best vampire accent is still Adrian Zmed in Shira the Vampire Samurai

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula

"...he questioned me all day, but he's not ready to hold me."
"Intimacy problems?"
"What?"

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula

Nice bit of a twist #monsterdon

This is like this bizarre Weekend-at-Bernies kinda shit. Sometimes she's alive, sometimes she's dead.

#monsterdon

"See, I TOLD you I shot her twice! I mean I shot Alucard, but the bullets went right through him!" -- Frank #Monsterdon #SonOfDracula

this appears to be a grave situation

#monsterdon

Barnabas Collins had better security than these jokers.

#Monsterdon
#SonOfDracula1943

Horrible shovel choice.

#Monsterdon

I feel like not much has really happened here, we are 45 minutes in...

#Monsterdon

Frank's obviously on drugs. Arrest HIM

#monsterdon

@diazona @klu9

It was Frank, in the Library, with the Revolver.

#Monsterdon
#SonOfDracula1943

Do Draculas have to sleep with their front doors open now, or are they just too used to servants closing doors for them that they've forgotten how?

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

It was Frank, in the library, with the gun.

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

In the library. With the revolver. In a better movie. #Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

"...it was in the library, with the gun, and the count"

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula

@cargot_robbie this is actually the primary motivation of draculas. nothing about their behavior makes any sense except for their insatiable desire for property #monsterdon

It's true, I'm always a little irrational after committing murder.

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

#Monsterdon It’s a shit-eating alibi machine.

The most unrealistic thing in this film is the vampire that's lived for hundreds of years needing to inherit an estate. I suppose you can just see how many wills you can hypnotize your way into, like, recreationally?

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

"Katherine is like a niece to me. You see, I was very close, but not related, to her father, who is like a brother to me. And her dad's mother - that is, her grandmother - was like a mother to me.'

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

I mean, we probably won't see Katherine in the daylight anymore, but other than that she's right as rain! #Monsterdon

This maid is Etta McDaniel, who is the younger sister of Sam McDaniel who played a butler earlier in the movie and, more notably, Hattie McDaniel. #monsterdon

@Lazarou by the power invested in me by the state of eating the justice of the peace

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

He JUST got there and his wife is calling? #monsterdon

They were married last night by kirby, a giant pink blob who inhaled the ring.

#Monsterdon
#SonOfDracula1943

Wait, she married a member of nobility, why is that so terrible? Was it something in the first 5 minutes that I missed?

#monsterdon

"She's not crazy, she's just a goth."

#monsterdon

Casual attire simply didn’t exist in the 40s.

#Monsterdon

was going to take a pee, but nah
#monsterdon

#monsterdon But I mean look at this shot, LOOK at it

#monsterdon Only a master of evil!

Now, does Any Town, USA have a Stand-Your-Ground law?

#monsterdon

"Scientific Research" so that's what the kids call it these days :bloblewd: #Monsterdon

No social life? Can't they have parties and soirées that start after sundown?

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

The Countess is cool, yo, I hope this movie doesn't do her wrong.

#monsterdon

Quiet and alone... and now i'm here in bed because Dracula is EXHAUSTING *wink wink*

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

I too want to live quiet and alone.

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

Buncha cellardwellers

#monsterdon

if you marry a woman and then 5 minutes later she gets shot, do you get to keep her house. It seems the core conflict of the movie.

#monsterdon

Maybe Count Duckula will show up? #Monsterdon

@diazona

A 1943 Alucard pairs well with cheese

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula

May I ask what you are doing with my bat guano?

#monsterdon

Could people not just go off in this movie by themselves when all this is going on? #SonOfDracula1943 #Monsterdon

Hmm, looks like we have some serious dirt here. It looks very grave.

Are those vampire chickens?

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula

That was scary, he almost hit his head on the beam

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943 #SonOfDracula

Kay gets shot. Dies absolutely silently behind Alucard. Frank doesn't shed a tear. Gives absolutely zero fucks. Doesn't even say her name in some impotent way. Just keeps staring at the vampire.

Honestly, Kay chose the better suitor.

#monsterdon

ANYTIME, MOVIE!

TBF she didn’t seem to care much about the old woman guest who died right in front of her #Monsterdon

calling up the professor of dracula studies at the university of transylvania and being like hey. you got any alucard #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🧛‍♀️ 💞 🧛‍♂️ = 🧛 🦇 🩸 😱
#SonOfDracula1943

the composition of these shots and the cinematography are honestly really really good

This came out 9 months after Shadow of a Doubt, the film Hitchcock did at Universal about a monster disguised as a man descending upon smalltown America, but Joseph Cotten was much scarier. #monsterdon

well, at least the shots all missed the gown

#monsterdon

“He just tossed me around like a rag doll. He man handled me, and I kinda liked it. I very confused right now. Hold me?”

#Monsterdon

Let me cover you with this polyester blanket right by this fire.

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula

Frank, you don't seem quite distraught enough for having accidentally killed your fiancée.

#Monsterdon

Still waiting for one of these Dracula movies to use the “drop a bushel of wheat on the ground and the vampire will have to count the whole thing” trick

I’m sure the scene would be riveting

#Monsterdon

Tell me about the bats Frank #SonOfDracula1943 #Monsterdon

@CStamp It always comes back to real estate.

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

Hmm. Okay. So the book "Dracula" exists in this universe...? I guess in this universe, it's secretly a true history..? Kind of like the Marvel comics in the MCU..? :welp:

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula

Frank! You've been beat up by a bat!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon looks like Frank saw the gas prices…

Is there a plot yet?

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula

Frank. You look downright... Batty.

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

Is he READING THE FUCKING NOVEL!?

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

Well at least we can be assured so far that no bats were harmed in the making of this film?

#Monsterdon

Yeah I feel the same way these days Al

#Monsterdon

the special effects are actually quite good for the 1940s. we've seen shit made half a century later that looked worse

#monsterdon

Ooh! We got ✅ Moon behind clouds. #monsterdon

WAIT THE DRACULA NOVEL IS IN THIS UNIVERSE?!?!

#monsterdon

pursuit hunters? eh

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

Cuddled to death by a bat? #monsterdon

Though he was going to test his gun against his own head
#Monsterdon

Narration, but when you're too lazy to even do the narration

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943
