LUGOSI LIVES ETERNAL!
My favorite actor of all time. Though Dracula wasn't his best MADE film...he made it into a fine film merely because Lugosi IS Dracula-an unworldly,ephemral alien to humanity in the opening sequences. Too bad once the film relocated to London it turned into a stageplay.
My favorite roles ...the sadistic Dr.Vollin in the RAVEN,M.Legendre in the haunting WHITE ZOMBIE, Ygor in SON of FRANKENSTIEN,...and yes...as the mad Dr.Erik Vornoff in Ed Woods anti-classic BRIDE of the MONSTER.
No matter what z budget movie he was in (as in his PRC and Monogram fliks from the 40's or his Ed Wood years) Bela always-ALWAYS,gave it his all. I wish he could have lived long enough to see how much joy his films have brought to us. He is more than a movie star...or even a superstar. He is an icon. A legend. One of a kind. Think of Dracula...you don't think of Bram Stoker. You think of Bela's voice....
"To die! To be truly dead! That must be glorious!"

its funny b/c when i first heard of bela lugosi, i thought he was italian. i didnt know he was hungarian (or rumanian if youre talking in modern terms). he wasnt bad as igor in the frankenstein movies. i guess even if i see dracula, ill always think of the infamous count as igor :)

My favorite Lugosi performace is Dr. Vollin in "The Raven." He gives a wonderfully over the top performance as the Poe obsessed mad doctor. I also loved his turn as Ygor in "Son of Frankenstein." out to be.

bela lugosi is the top horror movie actor of his time he has been the only man alive to be albe to bring dracula to life on film

u r awsome!!
