Twins of Evil

Nothing gets hung up on the dress as she runs through the woods. Sure. Not a snag. Well, Anton must have more vaseline than we thought.

Outside in the sunshine and not sparkling! He's not effervescent vampire then, more sultry loquacious semi-nosferatu Opera Ghost type.

in the next scene, the twins are riding their carriage through the countryside, when some hay oinks at them. Because oinking hay is forbidden, some village dudes decide it must be a pig and stab it, and the noise of this violence upsets the twins, who don't like pig murder.

Ahhh, the breast gap. It's where we can hide all the remotes in the castle and drive the count absolutely maaaaad!

Bluedepth

Hey now! SUBTEXT! It has to be CODED. No giving that candle a handy! It's going to burn too fast, and then you'll be in the dark!

I knew the fog machines at Spirit of Halloween were expensive, but they create actual gateways to the great beyond!!!

Great, now the raspberry sauce is gonna call the Kool-Aid Man to come crashing through your chalet.

Anyway, Quaker oats guy goes back to the Hotel, which I think is his house now, and complains about the wicket aristocracy that sometimes stops him from burning people at the stake.

Meanwhile, one of the girls has decided that the Count is super dreamy, even though they haven't met him, probably because he has a castle and stood up to their uncle. They resolve to meet him, because obviously he must be hot.

You can smell the count from here. Like dried sausages wrapped in hot leather.

Unimpressed, Mr. Oats draws his old timey pirate pistol at Count Crabbycakes and is about to shoot him. Then Shirtless Guy steps from out of nowhere to stand in front of the Count, staring Mr. Oats down; he is the Count's wingman and/or boy toy!

The Count tells him to let Mr. Oats shoot if he wants to, because the Emperor would punish Mr. Oats then, but Mr. Oats decides not to shoot and runs away.

Counting this a Count victory.

Count 1. Jehovah 0.

The Oat party inquisition gallops out to bother the cat lady, and we see a shirtless dude in the woods who hides from them. Anyway, they reach the cabin and we see the crazy cat lady is a young blonde lady who suspiciously blows out a candle and we discover is shacking up with Count Crabbycakes, who is a snarky aristocrat and protected by the court.

Mr. Oats condemns the Count, who quips back then throws his girlfriend at the oats guy, which is a dick move.

Thy rod, and this teeny musket, they comfort me. Teeny musket. I love you.

(the twins are photocopies of Millie Bobbie Brown, right? I'm not the only person thinking that?)

Coincidentally, Dutch Boy paint started in 1907 as the National Lead Company. The tie to the movie is a lot of these actors appear to have been eating paint chips.

I forgot to mention that there was a dude in the cabin when the lady was chilling, but I'm not sure if he was important or not.

Anyway, we see the Totally Not a Witch lady flailing and pretending to be burned at the stake over the credits, which is a nice touch. Also, Grand Moff Quaker Oats was saying "Let us pray!" and being all pious while they burned the lady.

Is this movie going to be good-bad or bad-bad? We await with anticipation.

So they were twins. We're sure about that. ONE of them was evil. The other was clearly not. But there may have been cultural and societal pressures brought to bear that inculcated a sense of what society considers "wrong thinking" in ways that we, as outsiders are not correct to judge. Few people are really the villains in their own plays. In this thesis I will

Oh I almost forgot: there was an emperor who was supposed to come in with soldiers and kill everybody if they stepped out of line, wasn't there? Which emperor are we even talking about? Seems like such an irrelevant detail

Great sets, historically inaccurate but great costumes, horny, red corn syrup blood everywhere, a plot that actually went somewhere*, this was a good one

#Monsterdon

*sure it was a mess, and so was the dialogue, but you could tell someone the story of this movie, unlike most Monsterdons

"I guess I'll date the twin I insulted earlier" - Anton, probably.

What a movie. Technically a couple of things happened. I would be hard-pressed to describe the plot to someone.

See you all next week!

The thing about burning not destroying vampires was a plot point in one of the previous two movies. The Carmillaverse has its own rules.

Gustav is really like "oh damn, I hadn't thought of that" to the suggestion of using the cross to suss out vampires, a thing he has already done in this movie. lmao
