This is confusing. Did the whole movie just happen before the title card and opening credits? Plot wise a whole #Monsterdon did kinda happen at least
Movie didn't waste time cranking the dial up. #Monsterdon
I feel like they keep trying to get us to feel for them, but like - they opened with devouring a child's life force?
@SRLevine I'm too afraid to check
If that's the David Prowse I'm thinking of, he was the original Darth Vader. #Monsterdon
@nazokiyoubinbou I haven't seen it since I was a kid & don't remember.
At least they're not torturing a bat for this one. (So far!)
@Louisa no, no it's fine, the... tapestries catch... or something... #monsterdon
I guess this is a tasteful sex scene by 70s standards? Man that is a cool evil fireplace. I love the Count's interior decorator.
#Monsterdon #VampireCircus
"by couresty of billy smart's circus."
so there will be actual circus-ry in this movie at some point???
that was.....a long but informative(?) intro scene
We have some Doctor Who cred via Lalla Ward (Romana II) #Monsterdon
@jsadow I wonder if #Monsterdon has done Plan 9...
It would be great if the cousin of our glamrock vampire would be a hillbilly
#Monsterdon #vampireCircus
So many problems. They didnβt stake the corpse of the little girl. They didnβt burn or behead the corpse of the count. They didnβt kill the vampireβs accomplice, so sheβs gonna bring him back again. Donβt these people know anything? GOSH.
Points for set design of all the past non-vampire brides in his crypt. More attention to detail than I was expecting.
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!
Yes, bats live in skulls.
And NOW we get the opening credits. Thirteen (neat) minutes in.
They put the end titles on at the beginning for our convenience #monsterdon
#Monsterdon π§ πͺ π±
cute π¦ !
oh! we found the opening credits! #monsterdon
the magenta hurts my eyes but i still like the color choice on principle
@Louisa the count is dead! destroy the decorative wood ornamentation and tapestries within his castle! #monsterdon
Woof, that text is FUSCHIA :/ #Monsterdon
changing my name to Thorley Walters
#monsterdon They didn't count on the extended tunnel system.. or anything else, really..
Vampire Circus sounds like an improve prompt. Yes, and... #Monsterdon #VampireCircus
oh wow it was a cold open? sorta? fair enough
When are all the vampires going to jump out of their tiny dragula, run around it, and then try to all get back in?
Ah the ol' gunpowder wick trick!
That is not an OSHA approved method of laying fuses.
#Monsterdon π§ πͺ π±
Good old cousin Emile π
I would have liked to see the Count and Anna go on a townspeople-eating rampage #TeamMonster
#monsterdon It's an unfinished crypt but great for skeleton storage.
@Violinknitter The best thing about any vampire movie
Definitely on the short list for creepy. And not in the horror way. π¬
Is this a "violence begets violence" kind of situation? #Monsterdon
You can't burn a stone castle you dumb peasants
Stone castles are more flammable than you'd expect.
hey now that little girl might still become a creepy little vampire
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 βsoul,β or something.
The Vampire's Raincheck (1972) #monsterdon
We can agree that the best thing in the movie so far is the vampireβs 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?
Oh so that's how explosive barrels end up in all the different strange settings.
Alright so we've seen the sexy vampires, now I want to see some sexy clowns for the circus part. #monsterdon
obligatory bat
πΆ Dun dun daaa.
12 minutes in and more stuff has happened than in the entirety of most other 1.5 hr long vamp movies π₯΄
#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....
@springdiesel Don't kink shame!
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"
@yatsu no one involved in this film knew, why should we?
#Monsterdon #VampireCircus
"That's enough... for being accomplice to child murder"
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.
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.
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
Alright, I'm officially on the vamp's side. Heck off, misogynist mob.
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?!
Richter Belmont: "Hey guys sorry I'm late- oh. Ohh..."
*shuffles back into crowd*
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
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
what... is happening here???
βThe count is dead. Weβve killed him. Weβve rid our village of evil. Mission accomplished.β
Wow, gettin' gleeful about this vampire murder. #Monsterdon
#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!
ummmmmmm?
Ding don the count is dead... oh, and so is this little girl :(
@strangefour π’
"WE KILLED HIM!' #monsterdon
Nope.
Barnabas Collins he ain't.
So that happened. I didn't realize that vampires were made out of ham
The town of Shtetl? They named their village βvillageβ basically?
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!"
Why's he always looking up through his bangs? #monsterdon
#Monsterdon "the count is dead! we've killed him! we've rid the village of evil!"
the aristrocracy would do well to remember
Quit yanking Anna like that or I'm about to get uncivil π€¬
gotta remember situational awareness my vampire friends #monsterdon
#monsterdon All torch-bearers are bastards!
The count is dead! Bring in the peppermint schnapps! #Monsterdon
