The doctor and the professor are about to have a "how do we kill this vampire!" conspiracy session, but then Claire the sister appears and is like "hey I found a child who has some holes in the neck and said he encountered a strange man in a swamp!" and then they example his seemingly dead body and paint some crosses over the vampire holes.
Does that stop him from rising again?
Tommy won't turn into a vampire, he's too square
I hope she punches out of that thing like the Terminator
FLAPPY BAT!
what the hell was that??? #monsterdon
"I'll save the child by painting satanic runes on them..."
The mist effects are killer. #monsterdon
weβre gonna pretend heβs holding the Pope Leo signal instead of the weapon to execute JCβ¦ if yβall know what i mean.
So the Housekeeper is also the medical receptionist too? Does she get paid twice?
I doubt it...
#Monsterdon itβs like General Hospital. Sheβs alive, sheβs dead, sherif is a douche, the lord of the manor isβ¦ weird.
ahem In the original novel Dracula, it must be a crucifix (that is, a fancy schmancy cross with Jesus on it) to properly repel Dracula. In later works, a simple cross suffices. This implies Dracula is getting more Protestant over time. In this essay I will
I back out of the room in the same way when someone holds a cross like that
lol, kinda how I feel when people are flashing Crosses around....
Foolish vampire, unaware that professors are equipped with handy palm-crucifixes for just such moments as these.
who would have suspected the pushy rich European guy had cards up his sleeve like "a young and virile race"
@yatsu I do appreciate how the Archive version this week came with subtitles #Monsterdon
It's hard to believe a man of science would give into superstition so fantastic.
Anyway, it's getting late. See you at church tomorrow
So a collection of cops and other white men in hats go to snoop around and find Kate sleeping in a coffin in a little chapel. And now the sheriff is like "yo Doctor guy why did you say you talked to her she's dead?" But this proves to the Doctor that he's in a vampire movie.
A VIMpire?
#monsterdon
"a younger country, stronger and more virile" jesus christ these pasty old motherfuckers
Son of Dracula summary:
A Transylvanian minority flees eastern Europe during WW2 to acquire property in the American south and is harassed by white plantation owners, one of whom shoots his new bride.
#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943
Professor Exposition knows lots of fun vampire facts
I mean... to be fair, I don't think the Alucard thing has ever completely worked, so maybe they're just smarter..?
You're really going to snoop in the cellar again? You deserve what you find. #Monsterdon
Professor has a more vampire-like accent than Dracula Jr.
Coffin scene that feels vaguely inspired by the novel
Every time a man or group of men tentatively enters this mansion, I hear Robotnik from the Snapcube dub "I'M BACK IN THE FUCKING BUILDING AGAIN"
Yo there's been a marriage! And a shooting!
you can tell frank has lost it from the disheveled jacket
Aaaahhhh - they're going to walk through the whole scene again just to pad the movie out.
I think this is a film about mental health awareness.
I've been trying to think of something funny to say about those judge robes, but they just look like shit.
The little pink guy married them? That is insane
You see kids, when a vampire man and a vampire lady love each other very much they conduct scientific research... #Monsterdon
We have coffee!
"Good-bye doctor. And say goodbye to Frank."
"Should I do it in the vacant staring straight ahead way, or like an actual human?"
Mama already told all your friends not to come
That ain't no way to have fun, Son (of Dracula)
@MatthewTitus88 #monsterdon
similar to a trance, but more of a doze
I like to rest impishly
"And even if it did seem that Lon Chaney would make an unlikely Hungarian, even an undead one, makeup genius Jack Pierce would at least make him look the part. This was quite a blow for the career-challenged Bela Lugosi, who was cooling his heels at Monogram until Universalβs inevitable resurrection of Dracula, only to lose the part to a young rival. His grudge against Chaney would last for years. (According to Reginald LeBorg, Lugosi was still stewing over Son of Dracula when he costarred with Chaney in The Black Sleep in 1956.)" - Universal Horrors, Tom Weaver #monsterdon

"A tree hit my car!"
Uh-huh. Not this guy's first time with a DUI.
@saucerlost oh that could also make sense!
but it might imply that he is actually vulnerable to bullets, unless he is consciously misting to avoid them?

OK but none of this would account for your silly half-outiness of your handkerchief
A tree smashed my car?

Why is Frank getting so much attention? I look like that every day I come home from work. #monsterdon
Ow! Light through a cross! #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon I guess "Son of Dracula" was the thing that cursed all Vampire in New Orleans properties to be very pretty, but absolute garbage*
* The first _n_ seasons of True Blood excepted of course. Fight each other over the value of _n_ in the doogaliedoo
a lawfully wedded husband who transforms into a squeaky puppet, horrors
Vampires: also persistence hunters
i wonder if anybody can identify the model of square watch the jilted fiance in this scene is wearing
Amazing how his accent as a "foreigner" sounds totally American. That must be why all the Hungarians are like "Nope, not one of ours."
Why did Dracula have to make it a weird race thing?
In the original Dracula movie, Tha Count hires a lawyer.
Dracula wanted to marry this lady to inherit the sword familiar.
Katie has accused our floaty bat-boy of looking like a knock-off Clark Gable.
Least believable storm ever. #Monsterdon
He looks like Count Paul F. Tompkins
"Don't mind me, I'm off to my vampiric swamp tryst!" - Kate, probably
Alucard must be very, very wet in his sunken coffin. Materialized from fog, and now drifting over the bayou as the music swells ...
SOUL STEAL
And now Alucard gets in a fight with Swamp Thing! Yeah! #Monsterdon
Kate's sister and an old dude decide to break into Alucard's stuff and discover that he didn't bring any clothes.
I guess this is because if you can transform at will between a naked bat and a clothed count, you don't need to carry extra clothes? But wait, could your count clothes ever get dirty? Or are the count clothes some kind of illusion?
"You make it sound as if I was in some kind of danger."
Why? Just because you're alone in the backwoods with a strange man you don't know?
WHY WOULD THAT BE DANGEROUS?
#monsterdon
implausible bat action, plausibly 1940s infantilization of the entire racially-othered subset of the cast...
@jonny it's authentic Dracula now
Claire gets all of the liquid assets? The taxes will kill her!
Too soon? #monsterdon
@floatybirb lol, true. What a bleak time the world before Anime was! #Monsterdon
All the subtlety of a brick. #Monsterdon
lmaao he's from the Bensonhurst part of Hungary
βTod Browningβs Dracula? Oh yeah, Iβm a big fan of the bat special effects. Best bat in the business. That bat deserves its own movie.β βThe director of this movie, apparently
Personally, I didn't vote for Senator Man Field, preferring his counterpart Lady Lake.
The servants break out into a ritual tap dance around the fire due to the Colonel dying. (yeah, it's cringe)
@bunnyhero His sons Appy and Tizer. #monsterdon
That tapdancing is the worst I've ever seen. #Monsterdon
"Count Alucard is a fake!"
count a la carte?
Queen Zimba was actually Neeuq Abmiz the whole time!
I get all my news from Farmhands
This movie isnβt lampshading tropes because a lampshade is far more subtle thanβ¦whatever the fuck βcharacter A warns character b by reading directly from the movie summaryβ counts as.
#Monsterdon
Does Count Alucard need to be invite in? Or invited out?
So we get our main character, a (possibly?) southern belle who is into metaphysics and is going to visit and/or hook up with a Count Alucard, who we all know is a vampire.
She visits her witch friend, named "Queen Zimba" for advice on this, and the queen pronounces "you must stop him and/or you will die dooom dooom dooom!" and then dies as a suspiciously vampiric bat stares at her.
He doesn't need the wheelchair, he just likes to get THAT drunk....
Queen Zimba just got really sleepy. Thatβs all
Oh shit does this film have a haruspex in it? I'm always saying films should have more haruspexy!
His name is Alacarte because you can purchase him separately. And apparently nobody did, that's why he's missing. #monsterdon
they really dropped off their dead like they were luggage
And now it's The Leech People, this movie is laying the groundwork for a thousand other bad movies. #Monsterdon
