I can revitalize a man, but a party? KEEP DANCING

#Monsterdon

... that fire-stamping was uncomfortably close to tap-dancing

#monsterdon

Big dance number!

#Monsterdon

"The girl he intends to marry" ?
Does SHE get any say in that, you jerk? #Monsterdon

Keep the party moving at all costs - even if the place is burning to the ground.

#Monsterdon

Believe in my three hair lumps
#monsterdon

I’d love to go on a 6-month or year honeymoon. Where does one get that kind of money?

#Monsterdon

Next we have a fancy party at the fancy house, which I assume is some kind of 1940s contemporary plantation, while a character who is definitely not a vampire watches. In a discussion between the MC and a boy that is probably supposed to be flirty, learn this is a reception for Count Alucard, who hasn't showed up.

Then an old dude has to go to bed, but not before smoking a cigar. While he's doing that a bat flies in and turns into a vampire who then creeps about the corridor.

#monsterdon

that vampire dude doesn't look like Lon Chaney

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula

Alucard probably does not need an invitation

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

She died of a heart attack.

Heart attack? More like a bat attack!

#monsterdon

He transforms into a bat when he's feeling lazy and doesn't want to walk. #monsterdon

No transformation sound effects?

#monsterdon #sonofdracula1943

wait he has a reflection in this

#monsterdon

BAT!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon It's about to launch into "Luisiana Fairy Tale" any second, isn't it?

Films like this just set up unrealistic expectations for swamp witches. #Monsterdon

loving that hammy attempt at an eerie look

#Monsterdon

This is a good fortune teller. No bullshit, no lies, straight talking.

#Monsterdon

This movie is going to run out of locations if it keeps tearing through them like this. #monsterdon

Just popped in to kill an ol' lady, gotta go pick up my luggage! #Monsterdon

BAT ATTACK!!!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon
#SonOfDracula1943

I see you... MARRYING A CORPSE!!

What is a Monsterdon? *glass breaks* a miserable pile of shitposts.

#monsterdon

Oh no, this movie is filled with historical bloodsucking monsters that prey upon real people!
Also vampires.
#Monsterdon

CROW!

#Monsterdon

"There are other means of communication." looks mysteriously into the distance, pondering the post office

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

Oh no... Is this set on a plantation?
#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

Shoulder pads in their hairstyles.
#monsterdon

Milk jugs, just right out there in the open

#monsterdon

Everybody looks like G-men

#Monsterdon

FORD BEEBE! FORD BEBEE! BEBEE BE BEE BE BEEE!!

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

how long was that title card sitting there? it was covered in cobwebs!

#monsterdon

Man, that drummer really want to be Keith Moon. Oh wait. That's Keith Moon. #monsterdon

WHAT!? I guess racists in the KKK are monster of the netherworld but...
#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1974

AWW! Bubastis. Who's a good kitty?

This is Alpha Control saying great job again team, that's another movie successfully launched into space. And thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting!

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

@gnomon Please, Mr. Cactuar was my father. Call me Rautcac. :D #Monsterdon

@jonny @floatybirb He only drinks blood for the infusion of liquidity.

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

🦖#MONSTERDON Goodbye!

Gotta love the classics! Especially watching with the exceptional wits in the Real-Time Film Analysis Squad! Thank you everyone for the entertaining scroll!

❤️ And thank you @Taweret for hosting! Tonight's feature really got us into a flow.

🅱️ and thanks @cherizilla for the Bingo card! My favorite: "Monsterdon lusts for the vampire".

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula #SonOfDracula1943

@CStamp for all we know, vampires could do just fine drinking less blood from more creatures instead of killing them, all the draculas were just sort of assholes, but now we can't because frank had to up and burn her before she had a chance to try #monsterdon

No bingo sadly

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

Not in the Lifetime of Brian
#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1974

Oh look, it's kate mulgrew.

#Monsterdon

No bingo for me this week. Alas.

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula #SonOfDracula1943

Better Count Alucard actor

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

This is an Apple Film?! Oh wow oh woooow
#monsterdon

There was some interesting stuff in that movie, like Katherine's plan to cuckold Dracula, a breathtaking sentence to write. But ultimately everyone was so bad at their job it felt more like a farce without comedy.

#monsterdon

Anyway, thanks @Taweret for hosting, @ryan for the stream, @cherizilla for the bingo, and everyone else for being such witty commentators!

#Monsterdon

Up next on @miru, Son of Dracula (1974), "the First Rock-and-Roll Dracula Movie", starring Harry Nilsson and Ringo Starr, which I don't think I can make myself watch but maybe other folks can

#Monsterdon

How is this asshole a hero? He shot Kay and didn't care that she died. And when that didn't kill her, he burned her corpse. All he ever did to her was harm, as far as we saw.

#monsterdon

fire: for when you really, really need to get out of a toxic relationship #Monsterdon

@Taweret They should have not cast any human at all, and just done the whole thing with rubber flappy wire-hung bat and a felt puppet Alucard. #Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

Well, no #MonsterdonBingo for me... But I did have fun. Thanks, friends. #Monsterdon #SonofDracula 🧛🏾🎥🍿

Tragic news from Dark Oaks tonight where Frank Stanley, Dr. Brewster, Dr. Laszlo and Sheriff Doesnthaveaname all perished after standing in a house on fire until they died.

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe now THAT'S a tweest

#monsterdon

The best part of these old Universal flick is how short they are. Thanks again to @Taweret for hosting. Have a great week out there Beautiful Mutants. #Monsterdon #SonOfDracula

And they fucked off into… a savings bond commercial?

Lmfao

#Monsterdon

Heh - this copy ends with a "Buy War Bonds" ad.

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

frank now goes to jail and rots there for the rest of his life, but at least he knows he did the right thing. okay, the movie gets at least half a star for that.

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

Turns out the real monster is arson.

#Monsterdon
#SonOfDracula1943

Well, for a #monsterdon sudden end, it was better than the average.

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's feature, #SonOfDracula, from 1943, did not involve awkward parent-teacher conferences. Instead we got:

He’s either going to marry her or stake her #Monsterdon

And, for the twist ending ... roast Kay!

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

Oh, wow! I honestly didn’t see that ending.

#Monsterdon

I don't think it makes up for how stoic the rest of the movie is, but damn if it doesn't stand out more as a result.

#Monsterdon

Don't do that, you'll get the Stress of Her Regard #SonOfDracula1943 #Monsterdon #TimPowers

@Newpa_Hasai 🎉

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

Every stake through the heart begins with Kay. #Monsterdon #SonOfDracula

Aww, happy in love music!

Um, wait a sec. I’m not sure this is supposed to be a happy ending #Monsterdon

This is probably the 40's version of "sexy music" huh

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

All you had to do was pay us a living wage. #Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

Do we need this exposition or what
#Monsterdon
#/ˌä-lä-ˈkärt/

Gotta admit that killing the Count by setting fire to his coffin was not an ending I would have predicted.

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

I know y'all are unimpressed with the bat, but honestly, the effects in this movie are really pretty good for 1943.

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula

this was a remarkably incompetent dracula, thanks for playing

#monsterdon

Dude. You threw Frank's body into a pool of water that's RIGHT NEXT to the burning coffin. And you can't figure out how to put out the fire??

#monsterdon

I can see why Dracula kicked this "son" out of the castle.

#monsterdon

I wonder if I can count (hehe) Alucard's hand turning to bone as "accelerated aging"' for bingo purposes

#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

I do really like older, slower paced movies that let their plots breath. Star Wars is a great example: Compare the pacing of A New Hope to the first of the newest trilogy.

But you need more meat to back that up then this movie has.

#Monsterdon

Oh, it's the SUN of Dracula, Now I get it. #Monsterdon

Eat sunlight Dracula. And then fall into a puddle and drown. Wow you are so pitiful.
#Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

Hit the flaming thing with more flammable things. That'll fix it.

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula

aw come on that's the ending of nosteratu

#monsterdon

1943 is also the year of Return of the Vampire, the legally-distinct Dracula sequel that Columbia made with Bela Lugosi that also had a werewolf and the eponymous vampire being resurrected during the blitz by German bombs.

It's not great, but it is more interesting than this.
#monsterdon

This was before Hollywood knew how to set people on fire for dramatic effect
#Monsterdon
#/ˌä-lä-ˈkärt/

Count Dracula is not used to putting out his own fires.

#Monsterdon

You. Are. In. A. Swamp. There is water frakkin' EVERYWHERE. #Monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

The doctor knows were all the drainage tunnels are. #monsterdon

Frank, Prisoner of Dracula.

#monsterdon

so Count Dracula is an undead loathsome thing, but Kay being undead is cool and hot. gotcha.

#monsterdon #SonOfDracula1943

you're not count alucard, you're dracula tnuoc!
