An ancestor of RFK Jr is running the southern health departments.

The old ways are back! We're going to need some leeches, a lancet, and of course, a smoke blowing enema tube. #Monsterdon

Painting crosses on vampire wounds seems like something you’d avoid doing

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943 #SonOfDracula

@CactuarJoe oh of course, but i'm just talking about the mon... ooooh, you mean the _whole movie_ is the monster.

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

Foreign? Nothing about Alucard/Dracula seems the least bit foreign unless you're told ahead of time.

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula

Injecting the kid w/ holy water. #Monsterdon

Painting crosses on people's necks, the pinnacle of modern medical science

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

Uh oh, they're out of cellar chickens.
#Monsterdon

@Princejvstin It's got what vamps crave! The blood of a young and virile race! #Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

Mosquitos.

#Monsterdon
#SonOfDracula1943

What foreign man in a fog? He’s clearly someone from Indianapolis who uses a lot of Dapper Dan

#Monsterdon

I'm wondering if we are going to see any actor display any emotional range at all. Like anything, any emotion at all...

#Monsterdon

Said something about a bloopher lady! #SonOfDracula1943 #Monsterdon

"I don't know what's wrong, doctor, he keeps saying he married Dracula..." #monsterdon

@LingLass that's what I was saying!

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

@kshernandez Phew. Dialogue was looking dicey.

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

I showed him this, and he had to rush to the Antiques Roadshow to get it verified. #SonOfDracula1943 #Monsterdon

#monsterdon
#SonOfDracula1943

Dracula has you marked for death..
What a day..

It would take some googling to explain why they fear it but they do

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943 #SonOfDracula

Have they tried sending for Geralt of Rivia? #Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

@Canageek it sure helps that there are lots of toots to read #monsterdon

"Here, drink this."
"Wait, you just poured out of my spittoon."

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

@floatybirb Ooh it's eminently plausible. Dracula is nothing if not a prudent investor.

@jonny

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

The sweet gentle string theme of slugging back whiskey after meeting Dracula. #monsterdon

Quick let's all get crosses tattooed on our necks! #SonOfDracula1943 #Monsterdon

His acting is so bad. 😯 #Monsterdon

The I WIN card of U Kno Who!
#monsterdon

I do like how unhurried old movies are.

That said, this one has crossed the line into repetitive and rather boring. Or is that just me?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Being scared of crosses is the silliest part of Vampire stories.

There's crosses EVERYWHERE.

I mean, that graveyard is absolutely full of them.

They have what I want. What I need. Oil!

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula

Found the crucifix glitch #monsterdon

Okay movie Imma need you to back off throwing the word "virile" around so much, please and thank you

#Monsterdon

Oh shit! they called out a vampire is a Werewolf.

Also - good irony, it was fun! And the cross being senible was good!

The writers are playing with tropes really well.

#Monsterdon

Well, that’s a pretty Van Helsing-style move. Good job

#Monsterdon

Always carry a palm sized crucifix, I say. You never know.

#Monsterdon

Drac's a MASTER at entering a scene #Monsterdon

The professor has perfected the vampire-repellent glare, so we know he's legit

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

That pronunciation sure put the decay in decadent

LOL

#Monsterdon

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

ok that was a cool swirling puff of vapor to vampire transition but I think we just learned that vampires are werewolves 🤯

Ope. Cross. See ya. #Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

Pop rocks. Alucard requires pop rocks.

#Monsterdon
#SonOfDracula1943

scares me too Alucard...

#Monsterdon

You American are so juicy!!!! #Monsterdon

What I want, what I need, what I must have.

You said that already.

#monsterdon

Blood sucking is a nauseating thought.
We on Masto don't accept this type of cuisine bias

@Lazarou

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula

#monsterdon "Are you sure we're not allowing our imaginations to run away with our common sense?" He says as he lights his pipe of +5 science

he's just so extremely not a vampire

#monsterdon

People are either encyclopedic about Dracula or have never heard of him

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943 #SonOfDracula

imagine how actually good this movie could be if, like, Vincent Price was playing Drac.

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

We must find Will and stop him. #SonOfDracula1943 #Monsterdon

Extremely weird, fantastic, and morbid, but, because the theme has been done many times, it fails to attain the terrifying impact of the original [Dracula].—Harrison’s Reports, November 13, 1943
#monsterdon

See, just like that! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon
#SonOfDracula1943

A younger, more virile country. Seething with vital hormonal secretions..

These are some unlikely heroes

#Monsterdon

lol awkward

#monsterdon

Oh look, a small cloud of vapor #Monsterdon

"...drain it dry just like his home land..."
#Monsterdon

He's right behind you, isn't he? #Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

"Are you serious? Just a layer of dirt counts as a grave? That's bullshit!"

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

speaking of vapor... #monsterdon

Where wolf? We haven't seen a wolf.
#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

"This country is stronger and more virile: The most virile ever. Huge virility. Everyone says so. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER."

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula

It's a grave situation. #SonOfDracula1943 #Monsterdon

Well Brewster, if you think Lazlo is a man of science who believes shit, you won't believe what the antivax are doing around here nowadays...
#monsterdon

He has come to fasten onto the big, virile testicles.of America and drain them dry.

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

"Stronger, and more virile." I wasn't expecting the sudden homoerotic undertones, but I'm down of course

#monsterdon

A younger country, stronger, more virile.

Thinly veiled directors fetish.

#monsterdon

Rating: ★★  [U]nearthly hokum and spoofing.... It’s entirely up to you whether you can enter into the spirit of the thing.... Or whether you’re so practical as to think the whole thing is crazy and that you’re just plain nuts for watching it.—The New York Daily News, November 6, 1943, Wanda Hale

#monsterdon

This guy is a "man of science" in the same way that Erich von Daniken is an archaeologist. #Monsterdon

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

"another country - one that's stronger and more virile!' 🤮

please never say "virile" again

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

"You steal mens souls! and make them your slaves!"
Dracula: "The same could be said of all capitalisms"

#monsterdon

Is he done yet? I mean.....just look around.

#Monsterdon
#SonOfDracula1943

Stronger more viral country etc

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943 #SonOfDracula

"Yeah he was very hungry when he was buried but that's not important right now" #Monsterdon #SonOfDracula

But it's great for tourism! #SonOfDracula1943 #Monsterdon

Man, everybody is getting in on making it a race thing

#Monsterdon

I am so happy that Son of Dracula saw it fit to pair Fat Dracula with Fat Van Helsing. #monsterdon

Dr. Strangeblood... do them Rooskies have one of these things?

#monsterdon

I wonder if vampires being transparent to bullets has anything to do with them not appearing in mirrors

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

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

TWO different means?? I thought there was only one mean!

hell yes the professor is the best character

#Monsterdon

Practical immortals. #SonOfDracula1943 #Monsterdon

Rating: Fair to Good. The script is neatly turned out ... and is certainly guaranteed for goose-pimples—and, we might add, laughs. The Rialto’s audience yesterday took it with good-natured, audible shrieks and the usual grain of salt.—The New York Post, November 6, 1943, Irene Thirer
#monsterdon

I could go for a nice pipe of tobacco. Anyone else? #Monsterdon

Often as unintentionally funny as it is chilling.... A pretty pallid offering.—The New York Times, November 6, 1943, A.H. Weiler #monsterdon

This scene has been brought to you by RJ Reynold's loose leaf tobacco. #Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

I didn't think vampires could breed but hey #SonOfDracula1943 #Monsterdon

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

Now, convincing a cool-handed sheriff that he's dealing with a vampire, that's much easier.

#monsterdon
#SonOfDracula1943

When did pipes in movies end?

@diazona @klu9

What common sense?

#Monsterdon
#SonOfDracula1943

In the shocker horror field, Son of Dracula is a topline entry. [It’s] well made, its intelligent direction by Robert Siodmak ... one of the more substantial contributions to the chiller-diller market.... Chaney’s Dracula is an outstanding job, accomplished without the gobs of makeup with which he is generally smeared. As a matter of fact, his performance takes on an almost romantic flavor.—The Hollywood Reporter, October 29, 1943 #monsterdon

Now we’re in

The AfterDrac

I wonder how Sarah's day went...

@SRLevine Tell that to Keanu Reeves 😂
