as much as i like bela lugosi’s dracula,it’s one of my favorite movies of all time. i think chaney would’ve made a better dracula.why?because in all his"monster"roles chaney brought tragedy,humanity and pathos to those characters.his performances in those roles made the audience root for him,even though you knew he was the bad guy.i think of the great line from phantom of the opera after he’s found out to be the phantom and he says "yes,but only because the cruelty of man has made me so",now who can’t sympathize with that.ok,lugosi was charming and charismatic in the role,but his performance was pure evil,there was nothing to make us(the audience)feel sympathy for him.to me the best villains are the ones that we have some level of sympathy for.

great answers everyone, I agree with Bela, he never got the recognition he deserved at the time.

    What colour of eyes had Bela Lugosi?
    *He is the famous Dracula actor in the 30′-40′s*
    I always thought what intriging eyes he had, but because it was all black-n-white those days, I couldn’t find a picture of him in colour!
    Does anyone know?

    With ANY given hypnotist’s role in the movies Joel, Mike, and the bots riff on, Servo usually makes the quote "SLEEEEP!!" really loud and hilarious. I’m pretty sure it’s either from a Bela Lugosi or Boris Karloff film, but my search through the internet has yielded no results. What movie is Tom Servo quoting from, anyways?

    Besides Dracula
    I’ve never heard about this awesome actor before Bauhaus’s famous Bela Lugosi is Dead song

    I am having a hard time finding a Bela Lugosi biography in book or audiobook format. I don’t want it just to be about his movies, but also about his childhood and life outside the world of Dracula.

    Any suggestions?

    Mine was Dracula, I have seen all of Bela Lugosi’s Dracula movies and have the collection at home.
