Bela Lugosi on Video
by Joseph Parra
"Good evening!" Never were two words more frightening as when they
were the introduction to that 500-year-old Transylvanian nobleman and vampire,
Count Dracula - who would forever be identified with his most famous portrayer.
But the same actor also portrayed the maddest scientist of them all in
countless films and the dangerous psycho/sociopath in many others. Rivaled
(in a friendly fashion, that is) only by Karloff, he was/is the unmistakable
"Prince of Darkness": BELA LUGOSI!
Here's a list of Mr. Lugosi's films that are currently available on
videotape. So, if you're looking to complete your terror-ific video
collection - or if you're just wandering around the video store looking
for a film with a little more bite to it - feel free to use this
list for reference.
