Lugosi Roles

Naturally many people will list Dracula as their favorite Lugosi portrayal, but I think he was a very skilled and versitile actor, and not going beyond Dracula does him a disservice.

Some of my favorite roles Lugosi played were:



Ygor in The Son of Frankenstein. Lugosi steals the picture, IMO as the sly, coniving assistant.



As Murder Legendre, landowner and owner of an army of soulless zombies, Lugosi is truly frightening.



Whenever anyone mentions Ed Wood they always talk about Plan 9 From Outer Space. But as Dr. Vornoff in Bride of the Monster, Lugosi actually had a role he could sink his teeth into, and though he was nearing the end of his days, he throws all his considerable talents into the role. He's a joy to watch.

What Lugosi portrayals do you folks enjoy?
