Vampire Circus, where you see the winding dotted line path of how little Vlad dawdled on the way to the blood bank. #monsterdon

Hey, and here's the end credits. Alright, thanks for a lovely time folks!

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

You gotta admit that was a hell of a cold open.

#monsterdon #VampireCircus

As cold opens go, not bad!

#monsterdon #VampireCircus

Yes, bats live in skulls.

And NOW we get the opening credits. Thirteen (neat) minutes in.

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus1972

They put the end titles on at the beginning for our convenience #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🧛 🎪 😱

cute 🦇 !

oh! we found the opening credits! #monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

⏲️ 30-minute poll 🎪🧛‍♀️

First time director Robert Young had which problem during production?

#VampireCircus

the magenta hurts my eyes but i still like the color choice on principle

#monsterdon

@Louisa the count is dead! destroy the decorative wood ornamentation and tapestries within his castle! #monsterdon

Woof, that text is FUSCHIA :/ #Monsterdon

#monsterdon They didn't count on the extended tunnel system.. or anything else, really..

changing my name to Thorley Walters

#monsterdon

Vampire Circus sounds like an improve prompt. Yes, and... #Monsterdon #VampireCircus

oh wow it was a cold open? sorta? fair enough

#monsterdon #VampireCircus

#Monsterdon Definite "kill it with fire moment!"

When are all the vampires going to jump out of their tiny dragula, run around it, and then try to all get back in?

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

that is the most powerful small barrel of dynamite I've ever seen.

#monsterdon

Ah the ol' gunpowder wick trick!

#monsterdon #VampireCircus

That is not an OSHA approved method of laying fuses.

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

This vampire can keep hanging on for another speech.

#monsterdon

The production quality is too good, which is denying me my preferred mockery route. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🧛 🎪 😱

Good old cousin Emile 💞

I would have liked to see the Count and Anna go on a townspeople-eating rampage #TeamMonster

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon It's an unfinished crypt but great for skeleton storage.

@Violinknitter The best thing about any vampire movie

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

Definitely on the short list for creepy. And not in the horror way. 😬

#Monsterdon

Is this a "violence begets violence" kind of situation? #Monsterdon

You can't burn a stone castle you dumb peasants

#Monsterdon

Stone castles are more flammable than you'd expect.

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

hey now that little girl might still become a creepy little vampire

#monsterdon

But it looks like she drank his blood, so either she did that to become a vampire, or she did it because she could be a vessel for his “soul,” or something.

#Monsterdon

The Vampire's Raincheck (1972) #monsterdon

We can agree that the best thing in the movie so far is the vampire’s white shirt, right?? #Monsterdon

Oh. It's a tit nipply tonight on monsterdon.
#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

Guess they missed his heart? #monsterdon #vampirecircus

And then Anna ran away to join the circus?

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

Oh so that's how explosive barrels end up in all the different strange settings.

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

Alright so we've seen the sexy vampires, now I want to see some sexy clowns for the circus part. #monsterdon

obligatory bat

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

🎶 Dun dun daaa.

#Monsterdon

12 minutes in and more stuff has happened than in the entirety of most other 1.5 hr long vamp movies 🥴
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon vampire count has a carnie cousin? typical

I don't think the shirt is that bad but it is a bit weird the Vampire corpse does not explode or something....

#Monsterdon

@springdiesel Don't kink shame!

#Monsterdon

This is already one of the most misogynist #Monsterdon movies I've watched and we are only 10 minutes in.

"You get a barrel, and you get a barrel. Everyone gets a barrel"

#monsterdon

@yatsu no one involved in this film knew, why should we?
#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

"That's enough... for being accomplice to child murder"

#Monsterdon

What the hell? Not cool with the beating. Just stab her.
#Monsterdon

listen, if some random bunch of townies tried to beat me to death for being into sex, i might try to resurrect a vampire count too.

#monsterdon

Call me old fashioned, but I'd rather be flogged than roll some erotic dice and be forced to perform 'cheek + on + belly' with a mod vampire.
#monsterdon

Oh.. just hangin' around. #Monsterdon #VampireCircus

So uh none of this seems like the kind of tone you expect from something with "circus" in the title.

#monsterdon #VampireCircus

Count poofy shirt is the master of the plunging neckline.
And very very creepy.
#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

deleted scene where they try to de-vampire her with leeches and the leeches explode

#monsterdon

Alright, I'm officially on the vamp's side. Heck off, misogynist mob.

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

whip the vampire out of her #monsterdon

#monsterdon Whip your victim to stiff peaks

While I was typing, somehow the dignified gentleman wound up with his shirt off?!

#monsterdon #VampireCircus

Richter Belmont: "Hey guys sorry I'm late- oh. Ohh..."

*shuffles back into crowd*

#monsterdon #vampirecircus1972

Always a villager with a torch just waiting around to be of service. #monsterdon

That's a very threatening way to shake a sheaf of wheat, mister

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus1972

She's gettin' the belt!

Are we sure that this is a vampire movie and not just a Kink movie? I mean, I'm down either way for sure. #monsterdon

Shit.

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

what... is happening here???

#monsterdon

Wow, gettin' gleeful about this vampire murder. #Monsterdon

“The count is dead. We’ve killed him. We’ve rid our village of evil. Mission accomplished.”

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

#monsterdon So, did the Count not have any staff or security guards or anything?

He just hung out in his giant castle mansion alone except for his lady guests?

My what a lovely house of the dragon this is.
#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

Way to go there, dad of the year. #Monsterdon

I really feel like all the Stelt town extras were just pulled off stage from Les Mis right after a matinee #Monsterdon

I know - to celebrate the Count's death - let's have a circus!

#monsterdon
#VampireCircus

ummmmmmm?

#monsterdon

Ding don the count is dead... oh, and so is this little girl :(

#MONSTERDON

@strangefour 😢

#Monsterdon

"WE KILLED HIM!' #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Nope.
Barnabas Collins he ain't.

So that happened. I didn't realize that vampires were made out of ham

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

Dammit, torches AND pitchforks. #Monsterdon

The town of Shtetl? They named their village “village” basically?

#monsterdon #vampirecircus

Every time they refer to him as the Count my mind veers off to Sesame Street #monsterdon

This one really jumps into the action! #Monsterdon

"...ding dong the count is dead! Now we'll never know what time it is!"

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

@MatthewTitus88 There’s still time.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "the count is dead! we've killed him! we've rid the village of evil!"

the aristrocracy would do well to remember

Why's he always looking up through his bangs? #monsterdon

Quit yanking Anna like that or I'm about to get uncivil 🤬

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

gotta remember situational awareness my vampire friends #monsterdon

#monsterdon All torch-bearers are bastards!

I have questions

#monsterdon

The count is dead! Bring in the peppermint schnapps! #Monsterdon

"Oh thank fuck, okay, everybody can go home."

#monsterdon #VampireCircus

SCHOOLmahstehr

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon And that's the end of the film. Thanks for watching everybody.

at least this vampire's job of leading a rolling stones cover band isn't complicated by his aversion to sunlight #monsterdon

That's a bit selfish
#monsterdon

Ooops - he was staked from the back but there's no entry wound.

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus1972

#monsterdon Ahhhh, AGITA! Don’t! Have! The! Bangers! And! Mash! Owwwwww
