THIS SUNDAY at 9pm Eastern (that's 1am Monday UTC) it's #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party! Come join the nerds of the fediverse as we watch a delightfully awful movie :D

This week we're watching SON OF DRACULA (1943), featuring Lon Chaney Jr! Notable for possibly being the originator of the whole Alucard/Dracula thing! Critics at the time noted its skilled use of light and shadow, and its *truly awful* writing. Sounds like fun :D

The flick's available free with ads over on Tubi: https://tubitv.com/movies/565125/son-of-dracula

Or you can download from Archive.org over here: https://archive.org/details/son-of-dracula-1943_202604

See you Sunday! :D

Favorite bit from the movie's Wikipedia article:

"In an interview with Starlog magazine in 1990, Curt Siodmak reflected on Son of Dracula stating that the film "became a classic through Robert [Siodmak]'s handling of light and shadow. He was wonderful on mood, characterization, atmosphere, the psychology. He could make marvelous scenes. But he *couldn't* write"."
