Rick, Great review as usual...about an actor whom I think deserved better...I have to admit that actor Bela Lugosi, was just one of the many favorite(s). actor(s) that portrayed the <b>"Black caped, pointed fangs, blood sucking, no reflection in the mirror...</b> (Even though I have to admit to seeing Bela Lugosi's reflection in the mirror in Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" when he "bit down" on <i>Dr. Sandra's neck</i> ) ...Vampire(s) that I admire on the screen. I think that his personal life was almost heart-breaking...His dependency on drugs, the <i>"stereotypical" </i> roles offered to this man who(m) I think deserved much better from Hollywood. Rick said, "He would appear in eleven more before being banned from acting, and forced to emigrate to Germany to find work." I wonder why he was "banned" from acting?"...hmm Tks, dcd ;) Hi! Rick,

I just loved it that the chiropractor looked nothing like Lugosi, and kept his cape over his face all the time. Joseph, Thanks.

My gorgeous Transylvanian girlfriend was born in the town Bela Lugosi was born in. She's a true vampire woman (she looks and sounds <i>exactly</i> like a vampire should). Um, anyway, terrific piece here. Bela deserves such a write-up! Excellent article, Rick.

I've now seen Bela Lugosi in three roles (Dracula, The Wolf Man, and Plan 9 From Outer Space) and look forward to seeing more of him. He was certainly a classy villain. An excellent post.
