I'm going to get myself banned

#Monsterdon

As can often be said after a #Monsterdon , that was ... something. A movie? The circus entertainment was different. The vampire were-cat was pretty cool. It did make your basic middle Europe village attacked by local vampire count and minions almost something I could watch. Thanks @Taweret for a trip to #vampirecircus .

@_L1vY_ @diazona @Taweret so as I suspected all the critical plot points of this #Monsterdon happened before the opening credits then it was just a bunch of boobies and sexily rolling around then like some torches and deadly Muppet cats and stabby burn-y choppy and they were all dead THE END?

OK got it works for me thanks

@Louisa All along really it was just that all they had to do was pull out the stake.

The one thing not one single one of the vampires that wanted to bring him back ever once thought of in all that entire time.

#Monsterdon

@Bluedepth @Terencio
Only thing I noticed missing was the student boarder massacre upstairs. 🤷‍♂️

#Monsterdon #VampireCirus

And decapitation for the win!
This movie has been cheap but really fun.
#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

@moira It completely went The Last Slumber Party at the end there. 😁

#Monsterdon

As usual the real strength of the Hammer Horror genre lies in their ability to find pretty places to film and hire pretty people to coerce into removing their shirts. #Monsterdon

@SordidAmok it was. the practical effects stunt crew were working it for reasl

#monsterdon #VampireCircus

Unfortunately no bingo for me... I got annoyingly close though

#Monsterdon

@lytta @trixter I got the idea they were Anna's children somehow? Or maybe not? #monsterdon

My #letterboxd on this film mentioned the costumes and the score as plusses, the plot and some of the special effects as falling short, but I ended up giving it the same two and a half star rating I gave to Maximum Overdrive https://letterboxd.com/anderson_petaq/film/vampire-circus/ #monsterdon

In case anyone was missing Mothra in tonight's #monsterdon , I got you: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3iu7cXksCNI#t=13m59s . Give it thirty seconds. Audio up.

RIP rubber bat puppet.

FIRE IN THE HOLE! #Monsterdon #VampireCircus

#monsterdon In a word, this movie was titillating. Get it.. uh. But now I don't know how crosses, mirrors, stakes, or vampires work. Also, why bring all of your human familiars to a plague-ridden town? Why foreshadow everything? I mean, wtaf movie?

Cross. Dagger. Same thing. A plus 1 holy weapon.
#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

I love #Monsterdon, and not only because every Sunday is like a barrage of flak for any cops that have to root around in my toots.

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

Y'all need a lot more fuel wood if you're torching that crypt.

#monsterdon #VampireCircus

#Monsterdon

The title could easily have been Renfrew Circus. Which is not a criticism. Making use of humans who can do things for their vampire overlords was actually intelligent.

@skatem I meant this 😂

#Monsterdon everybody drop your torch and your 3d glasses in the receptacle at the end of the castle tour

Emil going for the Oscar with that death scene

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

Welp, I missed the end because my college student came to show me a rash and I'm 99% sure he has Shingles. So that's the ending of the movie I will remember, not whatever just happened.

The true monster was the virus he had when he was 6.

#Monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 and yet here you have returned to go back and watch what you missed. Incredible #monsterdon #vampirecircus1972

So what the heck happened when Anna died? She got young again?

#monsterdon #VampireCircus

@lytta @trixter Eh, with this film, maybe both #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Romana is too. Which I figured out rather late in the movie.

Hmm. Looks like it was just me… perhaps an issue with my instance, or something.

#Monsterdon

@nazokiyoubinbou paper vampire

#monsterdon #VampireCircus

I don't want to call this a good movie, but it seems fairly close to that. I still feel lost about a lot of the characters, though.

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

@ramsey #monsterdon

it wasn't as big a draw as Maximum Overdrive. And not as obviously campy as many of the other movies. (still a good time, tho!!?!)

Thaat's right. Just let those flames lick up out from the cave unattended towards all those overhanging bushes and trees. That's not dangerous at all!

@EmptySet They established earlier that they have some kind of harm link. When the tiger bit Lalla's arm, he felt the pain.

#Monsterdon

The bat is such a good bat, they landed on the hand with the blood stain so good and were so nice and considerate even when they took off to go get more banana off screen and I love them. 🦇❤️

#monsterdon #vampirecircus1972

Well... THAT was certainly a movie. And now I'm strangely thirsty... #monsterdon

Miru is showing a Dune 1984 remix after Vampire Circus?

#Monsterdon

So I don't know what the heck that even was at the ending. The movie almost had something going for it for a while there, but then it just... Yeah, no, there was no saving that, lol. Anyway, thanks for a fun time everyone in Monsterdon!

#Monsterdon

I had a choice. Go to the bathroom or see the ending. I’m posting this from the bathroom.

#monsterdon #vampirecircus

Was it just me, or was the #Monsterdon hashtag pretty quiet tonight?

I think more of the town should have died for killing all those animals though....

#Monsterdon

Count mittenhouse 😺

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

So, is this where the high waisted pant trend began? #monsterdon

Please Hammer don't hurt 'em

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

give it up for Milovan and Slovena, I guess! 👏 👏 👏 👏

thanks all!

#monsterdon

I think there is a discussion to be had on what the proper proportions of a cross need to be to have vampire-repellent properties

There is science to be done

(...on the people who are still alive 🎵 )

#Monsterdon

Nice, classic "we have a castle set" Hammer horror vibe

#Monsterdon

okay so literally don't know what happened when dora fell over and there were ... two doras? or something? on the vampire? one of them changed shape to look like the other one.

what actually happened there?

#monsterdon #VampireCircus

And they probably properly killed the count this time.

And eventually the survivors will get vaccinated.

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

#Monsterdon

Well, Anton got the right idea, loading the crossbow with a stake.
I still think the wooden arrow shaft was stake enough.

@overholt Apparently anything vaguely cross shaped will do.

Except when it won't of course.

#Monsterdon

Yeah, if we throw enough torches in, the hole will catch on fire! #monsterdon

So they're all walking back to the village in the dark? Ok 🦇

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

@Taweret Hammer seems always to favor lighting the interior scenes so everything's so easy to see #monsterdon

OH NO! AN EVEN BIGGER CROSS!
RIP Romana...
#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

Kersh? Are we sure Anton isn't related to a van Helsing? 2nd cousin, twice removed? The glowing cross action not once but twice and with impromptu ones at that. Then that sick, biologically implausible kill of Mitterhaus. #VampireCircus #Monsterdon

Are the bats supposed to sound like seagulls? #Monsterdon #VampireCircus

#Monsterdon 🧛 🎪 😱

And the sweet battum flies away into the watercolor painting!

Thanks for keep us in it, h/t to Darth Vader

#Monsterdon
#VampireCircus

Given how many people died in this movie, one could say the stakes were high.

Thanks @Taweret for hosting!

#Monsterdon

Now that we have vanquished the darkness it's time to turn away from circuses and focus on more wholesome entertainment: a tiny wooden puppet that tells Bible stories. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Aaaaand that's it. See y'all next week - I have to go ice down my back after wrenching it doing concrete work :|

#monsterdon

So.... now do the geese attack?

#Monsterdon

now we'll just all forget this was here or that any of it ever happened so someone can show up with some fucking superglue later and fix him AGAIN

#monsterdon #VampireCircus

Ok, what the hell just happened with the crossbow? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Oh look, it's a medieval KKK rally.

I know fuck-all about how one is supposed to cross oneself, but I’m pretty confident that every single person in the movie manages to do it wrong in a different way. #Monsterdon #VampireCircus

Ohhh! A CROSSBow.

This movie makes me tired…
#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

Circus of the Night. Not kid friendly.

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

But that wouldn't go through-

It's not strong enough to-

OH NEVERMIND!

#Monsterdon

Stop, drop, and roll!

#monsterdon #VampireCircus

It’s a cross AND a wooden spike. How handy #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Crossbows can't de… oh whatever.

That vampire got the moves like Jagger.

#Monsterdon

Oh to be poked and teased by Romana. If only we could all be as lucky as the Doctor.
#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

@caban4 vampire protection pro tip: Always keep popsicles in the freezer. it’s easy to make crosses from popsicle sticks. learnt this in sunday school #Monsterdon

Dude likes getting choked! #monsterdon

@caban4 iron railroad spike works in a pinch

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

this vampire is flame retardant.

#monsterdon

Fun fact*: they slowly stabbed that guy, taking the stake out and taking a photo each time, and then ran them backwards. Real practical effects.

*Not a fact

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

Still the stake is there.

#monsterdon #VampireCircus

Well, that's what you get for us taking a vampire.

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

"Ok, everyone, don't whip anyone this time!" #Monsterdon

Who’s paying for Dora’s therapy at the end of this movie? #Monsterdon

That's.... that's not how you use a crossbow?!?!?!?!

#monsterdon

lmao
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Sorry, not buying that crossbow bit. The ammo was a stake enough even if it had an arrow tip on it.

One… ha, ha, ha!
Two… ha, ha, ha!
Three… ha, ha, ha!

The Count rises.

#Monsterdon

Oh for the love of-

So all along all it really took really was for someone to just pull the stake out. Why did none of the vampires just do this all this time?

#Monsterdon

Does this Count?
