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.
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
And now it's The Leech People, this movie is laying the groundwork for a thousand other bad movies. #Monsterdon
"Backup Vivian Leigh"
Are all the Black characters in this going to be servants and such? π¬
The music is pretty good. Merlin is amusing. but the rest of the movie is a mess so far.
#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1974
Kitty is also a hot lady? This is fine too.
#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1974
He should pass by one of the cells with the other 3 Beatles in it.
Tramp? No no Alucard. Don't go in there. Wait for Super Tramp.
#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1974

"Dracula, Prisoner of Advertising"
Merlin gonna be like:
@ottaross He's learned one way of dealing with trouble, and he's sticking to it! #Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943
@sandbender Team Vampire Kay
Sequel setup for "Grandson Of Dracula", when he hits puberty and his latent vampirism activates.
I enjoyed that movie, and was quite surprised by the ending.
As always, thanks to @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for the bingo card, @JoeWynne for the drink recipe and trivia, @ryan for the live stream, @paco for data analysis at https://gallery.don.monster, @combatwombat for the replay, and all of you for making it awesome!
Lon Chaney Jr. played a very low-energy, somewhat disinterested vampire.
#Monsterdon
So far this movie is like 5 minutes of Jump-Scares
@ramsey I mean... they could have done another solid 20 minutes of smoking pipes and recounting vampire lore. #Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943
wat? Wai?!? She did nothing wrong! (except bite him without consent)....
@srol I'm a little impressed with Frank given the ending. He 1) comes up with destroying D's coffins all on his own, 2) kisses his real estate-hungry vampire love Kay goodbye and then burns her in her coffin, freeing himself! #Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943
"Cinemation Industries"? Didn't they do He-Man?

As denouement music leads us to the closure of this masterpiece, I would like to thank everyone for the great comments and @Taweret for hosting yest another #Monsterdon !
All right, as the Drac sets in the west, we come to the end of another movie. As always, there's just one last thing to do:
Was SON OF DRACULA (1943) the WORST #Monsterdon movie of the year?
@me Frank does at least have the local police being sympathetic to him, so might be able to work something out.
#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943 and they fucked off into the sea.... no wait
Lord as my witness I shall never hunger for blood again
And Frank was never okay again. The End.
And they f'ed off into a Fade To Black
Huh. Frank did the right thing.
I'm not saying I want my boyfriend to set my corpse on fire, I'm just saying I know romance when I see it. #monsterdon
Needs Talking Heads Burning Down The House as closing music.
oh, alright. i approve of that little twist.
To be clear, the protagonist is Kay, and her nemesis is Professor Exposition. The rest of the bumbling fools are just around for plot.
so we're burning the whole house down then?
oh right, it's a plantation good job carry on

[director voice] OK, now, you're tired, you're freaked out. You have 2.3 minutes of screen time to stumble around and lean on furniture before anything else happens!
Aaaand Frank is running through the bushes again. He's some sort of vampire cross-country runner.
You donβt really need the stake. You only have to make him stay up too late, early #monsterdon
Frank runs to the Vampire graveyard and looks for Dracula's coffin then a dracula de-bats himself.
Frank reveals to the audience, again, that Alucard spelled backwards is Dracula and then threatens to destroy him, then Dracula threatens to destroy him back because this is night but Frank has already set his coffin on fire, causing Dracula to shake him vigorously.
Not sure why Dracula doesn't just have a backup coffin somewhere - maybe he gave it to Kate?
Frank reaches into his pocket: "Zuzu's petals... Zuzu's petals!"
special effects are still good tho
#monsterdon
Dracula doesn't understand water

You are literally IN THE OLD DRAINAGE FLUME
"Watch out, he's invading personal space!"
@CactuarJoe they should have given him the lead #Monsterdon
Oh oh, Frank.
ROOTY TOOTY POINT AND SHOOTY!
How many things has he declared are βunthinkableβ so far? #Monsterdon
This movie better end with Frank waking up from a head injury and saying shit like βand you were there, and you and youβ.
more smoke than blood in this vampire movie
Vampire vape is the best. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon #SonofDracula π§πΎπ₯πΏ
We watched a whole 12 hour extended cut trilogy based on a character who spoke to himself in two voices, my dude. Maybe you need to shut up.
#Monsterdon Dracula defeated by industrial dehumidifier. Film at Eleven.
@silverwizard It's not "Son of Dracula" it's "The Divorce of Dracula." This Alucard dude is not driving the plot at all. It's all part of her plan.
Frank is simply an idiot
Lon Chaney Jr is the world's most unconvincing CoUNT Dracula
Boooo Kate! Consent is sexy, and "you have no choice" is no basis for a permanent relationship with Frank!
But I'm amazed that they somehow brought a "kill my new husband for me, old flame" noir plot into this monster movie!
#Monsterdon #SonofDracula
Bold of this movie to throw a twist into the theatrical equivalent of mayonnaise salad.
#Monsterdon
Kay is going to start a new vampire line!
lol, big 'Dracula' reveal....
Bat got him while he was in jail. He's gonna have a hell of a lawsuit. Call Sweet James. #monsterdon
"look, we spent good money on this bat and i intend to see we get every penny's worth"
there are some nice shots in this. shame about the script, the casting, etc.
COMING THIS FALL: KID VAMPIRE
Only on Fox Family primetime!
#monsterdon
WAIT! Kay, now Tommy. so is this the Munsters prequel movie π€
"No one could choose a thing so loathsome"
oooh I think we know better than _that_ now don't we
Ok, all this talk of a "Young and virile race" is really uncomfortable.
Like, everyone here is of European or African descent. If you want Europeans there are a lot of them much closer to Hungary.
#Monsterdon the happy region was ruined. It was Dracula? No. pewter dish ware. We were all lead poisoned and dumb as a bag of hammers.
It would take too long to explain why vampires fear a crucifix??? Because they're evil? Is that a long explanation?? #monsterdon
yo Kay sounds more and more interesting....
Just a slight case of rabies
He'll be fine
#monsterdon
Say, are we ever going to see Claire The Rich Blond Sister again?
So much is NOT happening that I had time to wonder #Monsterdon
@cargot_robbie @floatybirb and all the race science stuff is just him trying to fit into the racist ideals of the US at the time, he is purely portfolio driven #monsterdon
@CactuarJoe Mulder.....
Alien implant. Two, three days old. #Monsterdon
Their minds can't handle right angles, that's why....
Ok, so how much soil do you need to constitute a grave? Like is it dose-dependent? Are you less invulnerable if you don't have enough soil? #monsterdon
Enter Alucard. Here because America is "a young and virile race"
And just as quickly, he's gone.
"Bullets would have had no effect on him."
So does that mean... Dracula... has the kaiju nature..?
This movie came out almost equidistant in time from the Bram Stoker novel and Vampire at Bikini Beach
So this is a murder mystery where we know exactly what happened? Groundbreaking. #monsterdon
"... stronger and more virile."
More pipes than the new Mario movie
Weird that they didnβt lock their house.
The chickens and crate disappeared. Do vampires eat chickens? And we know where her coffin is, where is his? <cue suspenseful music>
These guys are very open to the idea of vampires. :)
Pipes all around!
Do they get to the Son part soon?
How many people does this take? Don't you people have jobs? #monsterdon
What would redeem this film is a sudden, unexpected nudity scene where dracula engages in a disgusting oral sensual feeding on someone
#monsterdon
#Monsterdon Frank Stanley needs post-nut clarity. Grab the power inverter and the wet dry vac. Set it to βsnuffleβ and rake the end over Frank until you hear a grunt.
@wohali acres of film dedicated to a guy walking hesitantly across a room. on the other hand, the lighting is pretty Aesthetic
If they remade this movie today, it would be the JSON of Dracula, and he's a developer who works miracles in .BAT
β¦yeah, okay, it makes sense that the universe of people who struggle to figure out who Alucard is with seven different exhibits AND THE FUCKING NOVEL ITSELF, would need someone to testify to a womanβs being alive as a defense against a murder charge.
