I wouldn't say it was a classical "sudden end" #monsterdon. More to a ended at last. What a slooow movie.

Wait I am still watching because there were a lot of Trivago commercials.

#Monsterdon

WE DID IT!

wow I wasn't sure I was gonna make it through that one, what a circus

Thanks everyone and thanks to @Taweret for hosting! :)

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

Ah, Count Schmetterling or whatever is awakening again. Of the metal-choker vampire clan.

Aaaand there's his head gone, already.

#Monsterdon

So, did they all fuck off into the afterlife, or something?

#Monsterdon

That was a strange episode of Dora the Explorer.

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

So why did nobody just yoink the stake out of the vampire earlier in the movie?

#monsterdon

So if removing the vampire's head keeps him from coming back why didn't they do that to begin with???

#Monsterdon

That wasn't even a crucifix. Or a cross. IT WAS JUST A PLUS SIGN

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

I had no idea bats were so flammable.

now the brother and sister can kiss

#monsterdon

that was...a genuinely novel way to off the vampire. the movie gets a point for _that_.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Did you know a crossbow could do that? I wonder if it can slice cheese too.

That crossbow was never properly foreshadowed #monsterdon

decapitation with a crossbow, pretty fuckin metal

#monsterdon #GameRecognizeGame

Surprise! Head's up! #Monsterdon #VampireCircus

Huh, didn't know you could behead a vampire. Whatever works!

#Monsterdon

some of this is nicely shot tbh

#Monsterdon

Improper use of x bow

#Monsterdon
#VampireCircus

Elvis lives! #monsterdon

You know when the director says CUT that guy is grabbing his hand and screaming and asking for salve

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

man, couldn't someone have gotten the Count an clean shirt, at least?

#monsterdon

That death scene just gave me OG Buffy movie Paul Reuben’s death scene realness
#monsterdon #vampirecircus1972

Oh the twin's mom is still just a vampire thrall and not a vampire? Huh.
#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

Hey ya'll I'm back from the dead. What'd I miss? #Monsterdon #VampireCircus

#monsterdon Crosses in the stomach: death. Arrows in the heart: no problem. Now I don't know how crosses or stakes work.

With the very same stake that killed his cousin. Of course removing it from Mitterhaus leaves open one last jump scare in the final minutes here. #VampireCircus #Monsterdon

What a great party! Everyone got laid! #monsterdon

Bit of a Chekhov's stake. #monsterdon

Emile: 60% of the time… he kills every time!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Solved Emil's constipation problem…

That, sir, is not how crossbows work.

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

Bat on a string! Everyone drink!

#Monsterdon

The little guy has some serious WWF moves

#monsterdon

You'd the think the twins were cats, too, the way they're toying with their prey. #Monsterdon

Hot cross... now can we get some buns

#Monsterdon

Bat dagger vampire is the new rock paper scissors

#Monsterdon

big fucking crossbow!

#Monsterdon

So not so many vampires at the #VampireCircus after all. Just Emil and the twins, not the strong man or the clown. #Monsterdon

Emil's tooth attack... misfires..? And he kills the other vampire instead of Dora?? What even the heck

#monsterdon

...why was that cross glowing?

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

The Emil-to-panther-to-Emil transitions have been pretty darn good.

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

That clown got the cave version of curb stomped. #monsterdon

@floatybirb I like the #DresdenFiles rules where Faith in the symbol is important. It doesn't have to be a religious faith.

@SRLevine @nev
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Emil isn't going to feed as much as sneeze.

Could they not do more than one shot of the "cheap effects blood drops being absorbed by vampire master" scene? Every single time it's the exact same shot.

#Monsterdon

Ooh I forgot the little person

welp he's dead now

#monsterdon

SWIPER NO SWIPING

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

But guess what gets you if you're not a vampire? Bullets! EAT LEAD

#Monsterdon

Good thing this film is not shtetl-optimized.

#monsterdon

I need a supercut of Emil's face before every bite.

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

*slaps button* that was easy #monsterdon

This is the dullest movie with a sexy leopard-woman dance ever.

#Monsterdon

I think if you can have a town named Shtetl you should be able to have a shtetl named Town #monsterdon

The cross was there the whole time and the twin didn't see it?!

#monsterdon #VampireCircus

Vampire pyrokinesis?

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

That man is really on fire folks

#Monsterdon
#VampireCircus

pros of not being a vampire: crosses don't affect you.

cons: bullets do

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Nobody wants to take the stake out of the Counts chest? No? That's why you're all there, you care for him, except you know, that giant sliver of wood stuck in his chest... wouldn't that be the first order of business? Remove the wooden chunk from pappy?

Weekend at Bernie's prequel.
#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

@banderkat yeah aren't they the ones who could actually turn into bats

#Monsterdon

Villagers: check

Torches: Check

Pitchforks?? Where the hell are the pitchforks??

#Monsterdon

The dancers! Someone's stuck silly putty on their necks! #Monsterdon

query: there's a picture of a bear on the wagon, but do we ever see an actual bear?

#monsterdon

NO! Not cleavage our one weakness!
Err I mean a tiny cross. Yeah that's the ticket.
#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

@RamenCatholic lol, there you go! #Monsterdon

His oily pecs broke through that door Kool-Aid man style! #monsterdon

Maybe they shouldn't have made the cross out of gingerbread. #Monsterdon #VampireCircus

Please leave us, you hunk-a-hunk-man #monsterdon

@Lazarou yeah, my Mirror Person kept telling me to burn things when I was a kid. #Monsterdon

Death Vader broke in!

#monsterdon

This movie got very religious very quickly #Monsterdon

@allanb lol probably true

#Monsterdon

10 minutes to go and a mob has been assembled. How is *this* gonna go

#Monsterdon

Uh-oh. Approaching the house at dusk. #Monsterdon

You wait 'til you see this guy tear through a starship....

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou Just waiting for ICE to show up.

#Monsterdon

Yeah, fight the vampires at night, that makes perfect sense.

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

"...but most of all, beware of their modernist dancing!"

#monsterdon

Ok. It was less bizarre than the women’s underwear commercial I just got. #Monsterdon #VampireCircus

ooh rifle sounding

#monsterdon

"the people are saved!"

yeah right you still got 15 minutes to go.

#monsterdon

I'm at the "OK, wrap it up" stage of #monsterdon

#monsterdon As many have said, we are going to need cross lore to understand when these things work..

#monsterdon Why are they all emerging from different places? Didn't they walk there together?

Why did Romana-vampire not notice Dora walking towards THE BIG CROSS IN PLAIN SIGHT??? #Monsterdon

Church bells cause pain in vampires now? New one for the mythform.

#monsterdon #vampirecircus

Man, Castlevania wishes it could. #Monsterdon

Where did they find that lowercase T? Deus ex machina.

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

Now that was some lucky cross throwing
#monsterdon #VampireCircus

Ouch. #monsterdon

I just got an ad for the Laramie County Sherriff’s office. That was… bizarre. #Monsterdon #VampireCircus

The vampires are displaying their supernatural ability to SHOVE!

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

She couldn't have... stepped back like two paces?

#Monsterdon

Isn't that how "The Graduate" ends?

#monsterdon
#VampireCircus

Blunt cross trauma #Monsterdon

Kids, stop playing with your food. #monsterdon

Okay, where the heck are they? Is this upstairs in Anton's house? What the fuck happened?

#Monsterdon #VampireCircus

Okay vampire twins, stop playing with your food.

#Monsterdon

Not baron's curse. Count's. Get yer gentry right.
