Horror Film Hubbub With Lucan
Although Bela will obviously be best remembered for his performance as the silver
screen's first official Dracula, Bela has done so much more to develop horror
for us all. Aside from Dracula, and various other vampires, he's played Igor
in the Frankenstein movies, he had a part in the original Wolfman, he even played
Frankenstein opposite Lon Chaney Jr. in "Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman."
He has also done more film adaptations of Poe's works than any other actor,
including "The Raven", "The Black Cat", and "Murders
In The Rue Morgue". And even though his life has a couple tragic chapters,
due to heavy drug addiction, he remained on the cutting edge up until the end
and beyond, working with the delightfully terrible director Ed Wood, which includes
"Plan 9 From Outer Space" affectionately known as The Worst Movie
ever made. Ironically, most of the film was made after his death."

A Special
Thanks to The Uptown Guy for bringing to our attention via Richard Bojarski's
book "The Films of Bela Lugosi" some early films that Bela stared
in. Unfortunately, due to the ravages of time and the damage of World War II,
these films may no longer exist.
