The hovering bat! Moonlit cross-tombstone protects Frank ... and we zoom on on a random page of DRACULA (in case you hadn't made the connection yet).
βHere, you have a young, vital race.β
#Monsterdon
Bullets go _through_ Drac, huh that's one way to be unkillable.

Oh hai bat!
Hold up, time out. That bat's making helicopter noises. #Monsterdon
Take a hint Frank. Sheβs just not into you.
So Kate invites Alucard into her house and he says "soon you will be Miss Alucard!" and then we get some crazed sound effects, followed by Alucard talking about how much he loves the old south and its swamps and about the history of his people in the flattest possible voice.
Small arms fire. That's hilarious. #Monsterdon
He's a Confederate vampire by marriage
haha more like Count Cuckula
Lon Chaney Jr is extremely miscast
Claire is the nice one and blonde. the weirdo, dark sister is called Kate, like Shakespeare's shrew
ikr they couldn't get AC/DC? #MaximumDraculaDrive
fuck that moustache is funny i can't get over it, it's like my middle school social studies teacher wearing a dramatic cape #Monsterdon
has anybody noticed how the sisters dresses have opposite color details?
This music is merry low-stakes "who nicked the pie from the windowsill" mystery stuff
Not "fetch the sharpened stakes to dispatch the infiltrating undead monster" music
so Kate's dad (I think) left the party to smoke a cigar in peace, and was either vampired to death offscreen or died of lung cancer and cigar fires. Then Alucard appeared and then left politely, definitely not gorged on human blood.
We get a lawyer seen to decide who inherits the plantation - I forgot the result because I was scrolling. Also, Kate's sister is suspicious of something going on between her and Alucard.
"Well, it may not be ethical, but ... YOLO"
"This plantation is a creature of chaos"
Isn't Dracula.....Transylvanian, which is in Romania?
Anyone, Yanks ringing up the wrong embassy to ask stupid questions is on target
This movie is just going to be Southron gentlemen looking at DRACULA spelled backwards and wondering "what could it mean?", isn't it
@jonny He's the second-most famous actor in this movie!
which part of this #monsterdon is the most uncomfortable?
lol, takes them this long to figure out the Dracula/Alucard thing then....
Wait a minute! Alucard is just "Dracula" spelled backwards! You guys I think I figured it out! #monsterdon #sonofdracula1943
And this is why you don't smoke in/around bed
@CactuarJoe Frank is only being... frank. Ah Ah Ah. #Monsterdon #SonofDracula π§πΎπ₯πΏ
"There's no magic in dead chickens"
The guy has CLEARLY never had chicken tikka.
#Monsterdon
There's no magic in dried lizards and dead chickens, but enough about my cooking.
#monsterdon
@CactuarJoe eat this man first, drac
how do we have a man turn into a bat, hmm how about he's just like a black spot for a second and then there's a bat there #monsterdon
This is bat slander
He doesn't need the wheelchair, he just likes to get THAT drunk....
(Matt Berry voice) BAT
He can just summon people via wish. That's pretty metal. #monsterdon
they really dropped off their dead like they were luggage
Oh right Earth is the planet of hats. #monsterdon
just a minute late, whew!
They're going to have to go to lost passenger claim office.
#Monsterdon
whoever lettered these credits knew what they were about.
Marlin almost saw the assphyx.
βDonβt use that word, Frank. We donβt like it. Say, rather, that we are un-un-alived.β
No, I think I'd rather "Forget" this movie....
So this is a monster mash movie music video collection? Is there a plot?
#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1974
Alucard has a Frankenstein and a Medusa in his basement? Among other creatures of the night.
#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1974
Did Nilsson just fight the Wolfman?
#monsterdon
Son of Dracula, Werewolf Slayer
#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1974
βdeCAYdentβ βLon Chaney Jr.
YES!!! I want all my draculas to ROCK from now on!
@cargot_robbie @jonny @floatybirb #monsterdon #WrongDracula
He only drinks blood because "goop" tells him to.
Anyway, this concludes my #monsterdon thread for "Son of Dracula". until next week remember... the lessons of this film:
1) don't do slavery, that's how you get draculas in your swamp.
2) having more anti-vampire planning meetings does not mean that you will defeat the draculas faster.
I'm not sure i can even tell how bad Ringo's cinematography is this transfer is so dark.
#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1974
@srol "They just froze there, like at the end of the police procedural, it was kooky!" #Monsterdon
WHO WOULD YOU CAST? 30 MINUTES GO
Merlin? Wow this VHS is so fuzzy.
#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1974
@blue *Loves a warehouse full of stock
And with the sunrise another #monsterdon ends.
I'm not up on my vampire lore, but I think there were some huge liberties taken.
Anyway, good effect, weird musical choices, and horrible acting for Drac. Stick with the werewolf in the future Lon.
Thank you all for your toots, and thank you @Taweret for hosting and @cherizilla for the bingo card!
@CactuarJoe I've seen worse. #Monsterdon #SonofDracula π§πΎπ₯πΏ
Frank decides to stumble on things until he opens up Kate's coffin. In the next scene the Vampire Response Team is enjoying its 14th Anti-Vampire Planning War Room in the parlor, when Frank appears with the first of a burning coffin behind him, showing the audience that the guy we didn't really like ultimately chose combating the hated undead over love. A tragic dilemma indeed.
#monsterdon YES! MIRU after-party is BACK!!!
see: miru dot miyaku dot media
Well, the ending at least was better paced than our usual F off into the ocean endings
Frank has turned into a bit of a pyro.
that wasn't bad but Alucard should have been played by literally any other actor
ty for joining, everyone!!
that was gangsta' AF
how long has she been dead? Is it about time the fluids came out, oh no Frank, NO!
His frantic panic at his coffin burning is actually really good, as is the terror on his face as he tries to strangle Frank. Easily the best scene in the movie.
Two minutes to Kay, Frank, Brewster and the gang wrap this up.
I'm felling another classic #monsterdon sudden end
A ring with matching luggage
#monsterdon
usually Draculas have enough foresight to keep several coffins around....
I'm calling that skeleton transition as accelerated aging
Frankensteinβs monster would give a better performance than that, Frank, and he was literally born yesterday
#Monsterdon
I'M COMIN', LISA
booooooones #Monsterdon
βThereβs a lot to this you donβt understand, Sheriff.β
MAKE THAT TWO OF US
WHAT IS THIS MOVIE
They lured us in with 20 minutes of βfellas, does anyone else think that MAYBE 1 + 1 couldβ¦possiblyβ¦equal 2?β and now weβre back to whatever the fuck Ambiguously American Alucard is doing
#Monsterdon
Health and Safety would never approve filming this scene this way today
Our 12th anti-vampire planning war room in the jailhouse was ineffective, because not all parties were onboard with the existence of vampires, necessitating a 13th anti-vampire planning war room in the morgue.
during the 11th anti-vampire planning war room outside, Frank managed to escape, knock out the warden and drive away. This triggers this movie's 12th anti-vampire planning war room in the jailhouse.

He was going to serve him dinner, and shove a steak in him
#Monsterdon
@LingLass he needs to get his mind out of that box... #Monsterdon
not sure why kate's plan isn't to just go somewhere else over the night and hide out the day in the cellar or under a blanket somewhere.
@wohali yeah there's a lot to like
Claire shows up to visit Frank and she's like "i'm going to cremate Kate." and Frank is like "she isn't dead I talked to her just now about vampires!" And then Claire is like "u got the kray kray frank" and leaves.
Then Kate shows up and is like "uh oh she figured out I'm a vampire we'll have to kill her and also the doctor" but while they're doing this conspiracy the sheriff or warden or other guy hears their evil conspiracy chat and is like "wait is there a vampire in there?"
I miss the wild days of my youth, drinking the blood of the landowner class and hanging around the old drainage flume
Frank is giving Renfield vibes
Count Γ la carte seems to be this movie's signature move
#monsterdon
Frank you're gonna be a bat too. Isn't that cool? Isn't it cool that I didn't ask you? Neat huh? #monsterdon
By the way, thanks for taking me seriously despite my tie.
those filberts are mental though, mad times with those lads...
Frank is going to be as quotidian a vampire as Lon Chaney Jr
Go for it Frank, you can be like Spike from Buffy....
Hi Frank. I'm a bat now. Isn't that cool? #monsterdon
TROUPLE!
Hear the high-pitched hammond organ in the background? Nothing strange or untoward ever happened while a hammond organ was playing.
@floatybirb It's a well-known formula, but thank you. I hope I never have to use it!
Not eternal life, but a few hundred years until I get bored, is that so wrong Doctor?
