"Backup Vivian Leigh"

#Monsterdon

Are all the Black characters in this going to be servants and such? 😬

#Monsterdon

The music is pretty good. Merlin is amusing. but the rest of the movie is a mess so far.
#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1974

So which was right Dracula? lol?

I love us.

#Monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon #WrongDracula

Tramp? No no Alucard. Don't go in there. Wait for Super Tramp.
#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1974

"Dracula, Prisoner of Advertising"

#monsterdon #WrongDracula

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

#Monsterdon

@jonny @CStamp

Sequel setup for "Grandson Of Dracula", when he hits puberty and his latent vampirism activates.

#Monsterdon
#SonOfDracula1943

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!

#Monsterdon

Lon Chaney Jr. played a very low-energy, somewhat disinterested vampire.

#Monsterdon

So far this movie is like 5 minutes of Jump-Scares

#monsterdon #WrongDracula

@ramsey I mean... they could have done another solid 20 minutes of smoking pipes and recounting vampire lore. #Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

@Canageek #monsterdon

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?

#monsterdon #WrongDracula

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

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943 and they fucked off into the sea.... no wait

Lord as my witness I shall never hunger for blood again

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943 #SonOfDracula

And Frank was never okay again. The End.

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

And they f'ed off into a Fade To Black

#monsterdon
#SonOfDracula

Huh. Frank did the right thing.

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

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.

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula

oh, alright. i approve of that little twist.

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

To be clear, the protagonist is Kay, and her nemesis is Professor Exposition. The rest of the bumbling fools are just around for plot.

#monsterdon

so we're burning the whole house down then?

oh right, it's a plantation good job carry on

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

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

[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.

#Monsterdon

You don’t 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?

#monsterdon

Frank reaches into his pocket: "Zuzu's petals... Zuzu's petals!"

#Monsterdon

special effects are still good tho
#monsterdon

beat the fire to death with a stick, yes

ahhh, the old "death by sunrise" routine

#Monsterdon

Dracula doesn't understand water

#Monsterdon

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

You are literally IN THE OLD DRAINAGE FLUME

"Watch out, he's invading personal space!"

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe they should have given him the lead #Monsterdon

Oh oh, Frank.

#Monsterdon

@Binder

What are the labor demands of the Unholy Union?

#Monsterdon
#SonOfDracula1943

@LingLass@vmst.io he needs to get his mind out of that box... #Monsterdon

ROOTY TOOTY POINT AND SHOOTY!

#monsterdon

How many things has he declared are “unthinkable” so far? #Monsterdon

This movie better end with Frank waking up from a head injury and saying shit like “and you were there, and you and you”.

#Monsterdon

more smoke than blood in this vampire movie

#monsterdon

Vampire vape is the best. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #SonofDracula 🧛🏾🎥🍿

Drainage flue by the swamp.

Play room in the attic.

It's a scenic tour of Dark Oaks!

#monsterdon

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

#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.

#monsterdon

Frank is simply an idiot

#monsterdon

@OliviaVespera

Lon Chaney Jr is the world's most unconvincing CoUNT Dracula

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula

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

“Don’t use that word. We don’t like it.”

Oh, Frank. Be very careful.

#Monsterdon

Kay is going to start a new vampire line!

#monsterdon

lol, big 'Dracula' reveal....

#Monsterdon

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"

#monsterdon

there are some nice shots in this. shame about the script, the casting, etc.

#monsterdon

COMING THIS FALL: KID VAMPIRE
Only on Fox Family primetime!
#monsterdon

WAIT! Kay, now Tommy. so is this the Munsters prequel movie 🤔

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula

"No one could choose a thing so loathsome"

oooh I think we know better than _that_ now don't we

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

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

#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.

yo Kay sounds more and more interesting....

#monsterdon

It would take too long to explain why vampires fear a crucifix??? Because they're evil? Is that a long explanation?? #monsterdon

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.....

#monsterdon

Alien implant. Two, three days old. #Monsterdon

Their minds can't handle right angles, that's why....

#Monsterdon

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.

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

"Bullets would have had no effect on him."

So does that mean... Dracula... has the kaiju nature..?

#monsterdon

This movie came out almost equidistant in time from the Bram Stoker novel and Vampire at Bikini Beach

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

So this is a murder mystery where we know exactly what happened? Groundbreaking. #monsterdon

"... stronger and more virile."

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

More pipes than the new Mario movie

#Monsterdon

Weird that they didn’t 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. :)

#Monsterdon

Is that dude the only man allowed to have emotions in this movie?

#Monsterdon

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 “snuffle” 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

#monsterdon

If they remade this movie today, it would be the JSON of Dracula, and he's a developer who works miracles in .BAT

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula

…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 woman’s being alive as a defense against a murder charge.
#Monsterdon

MFer just loves sneaking into that cellar, huh?

#monsterdon

can we go back to the real estate negotiations, I was having fun

I mean, relatively speaking

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

@kcarr2015 That tracks! I'm leaning more toward Weyland. #Monsterdon #SonofDracula 🧛🏾🎥🍿

Frank needs a spa day. #SonOfDracula1943 #Monsterdon

"Frank has had a shock, he needs complete relaxation."

Don't we all.

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula

@socketwench Men in suits and big fancy hats
