Oh man y'all something smells Rank

#monsterdon #VampireCircus

Here we go! Bang the gong!

#Monsterdon

bang gong (where appropriate)

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon is go!

I really think we lost something when we stopped introducing movies by having big oiled guys bang on gongs

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

#MonsterdonAlert

#Monsterdon

GO GO GO!!!

Starting off with a gong? What movie do they think this is, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom?

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

I hit play already because of the ads. Is that a faux pax? #monsterdon

@Lazarou I showed @steggy and we are gasping laughing. @strangefour

#monsterdon

@moira @Terencio @ramsey aw and we were counting on you too 😂 (j/k)

#Monsterdon

I think maybe they were Orthodox.

#monsterdon #VampireCircus

“red crosses on wooden doors”
(and if you float you burn - or if you take a torch into a circus tent)
#Monsterdon

There was a lot about that movie I didn’t understand. Who was who. Why were they wandering in the woods. Why the drops of blood appeared and disappeared on the Count’s chest. Why the weird makeup in the naked dance. Why was there a tiger, wasn’t a panther enough? What happened to the Burgermeister? Why did it take so long for a vampire to encounter a cross? And why call the town Shtetl, that’s just the weirdest bit of all. #Monsterdon #VampireCircus

Bingo! With mind control pulling the kids into the mirror house #monsterdon #VampireCircus

We had:

It was tough to be a human in that film.

@ramsey @Taweret @Cherizilla

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

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

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

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 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

@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

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

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

#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

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

#Monsterdon 🧛 🎪 😱

And the sweet battum flies away into the watercolor painting!

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

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

#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

Circus of the Night. Not kid friendly.

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

But that wouldn't go through-

It's not strong enough to-

OH NEVERMIND!

#Monsterdon

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

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

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
