Karloff or Lugosi?

This is reportedly one of the biggest "feuds" of all time. Some say they hated one another, some say that was just a rumor. So who do you guys prefer: Karloff or Lugosi?

LOL

Here we go

Lugosi for sure. Hypnotizing eyes. Blood sucking. Mummy moves too slow.

I know and so was Lugosi. He was very good but I just dont think that Lugosi is not given enough credit for his roles. Fortunetly for Boris he had more success than Bela. Boris was an excellent make up artist though.

Karloff is mainly known for the Mummy and Frankenstein while Lugosi is mainly known for Dracula. But they both did WAY more stuff. I like them both but I'm giving Lugosi the edge b/c Ed Wood was a great film and I love the original Dracula.

I want to say apples and oranges, they are both in such good stuff. But my money's on Karloff. His voice; the Frankenstein monster; his anthology TV show... he really left a legacy and Bela's pales in comparison.

The real answer is: The Black Cat, IMHO their best film separate or together. At times it reminds me of Suspiria because it's an art deco horror film... no cobwebs or shadows (except when Lugosi skins Karloff at the end) just bright and new and weird and creepy.

Picked Karloff because his voice was awesome in How The Grinch Stole Christmas. I watch that every year!

Oh, and also because of Frankenstein and The Mummy... :D
