Today, we celebrate the birth of a true horror legend, the great Bela Lugosi! 
Bela Lugosi helped usher in the horror era in 1931’s DRACULA , but nine years later, the Hungarian actor was taking whatever roles he could get. I’ve told you before how much I love THE DEVIL BAT (just click on this link to find out!), an entertaining little fright flick despite its rock-bottom production values and some really bad writing. Only Bela Lugosi could make a film like this work, and he does so brilliantly! Grab some popcorn, put your feet up, and enjoy horror’s first icon Bela Lugosi in THE DEVIL BAT!:

Bela rocks! Such a shame that he ended up starring in so many mediocre films. He is the best screen Dracula in my opinion. The Black Cat and The Raven both feature some other terrific performances from him.

True, but I think his performance here is just as good. Bad as the movie is, Bela elevates with with his sheer talent.

He had a way of doing that. He was often the best thing about so many of the films he was in.
