Yeah, I'll give you that. I do like how he's dressed up and primed to be the New Hollywood Hunk in Wolf Man... and just seems bewildered by it all.

An interesting tidbit---according to the new Lugosi bio by Arthur Lenning, a drunken Chaney once punched an ailing Lugosi just before the latter's Ed Wood years. Strange.
Ah, what a great fantasy... to get in a bar fight with a surly Lon Chaney Jr. We shoulda been alive back then.

No doubt that would have been a great bar fight, and I can only hope that Cameron Mitchell would have our backs.

Ive only seen one Hammer production [As far as I know], Hound of the Baskervilles. I loved it, but I much prefer the Universal films Ive seen. I really want to see any of Lee's outings as Dracula, however....

Oh you evil bastard, how am I suppose to choose between the two greatest horror studios ever? I guess I will go with Universal because I have great love for black and white horror movies. but I will say that Christopher Lee's Dracula is still the best

Universal with out a doubt. I like alot of the Hammer films, most notibly, the Christopher Lee Dracula series, but when I think "Monster" I think Lon Chaney Jr's Wolfman, Boris Karloffs Frankensteins Monster, Bela Lugosis Dracula, Boris Karloffs Mummy etc... I grew up watching these films on late night TV and they were the driving force behind my affection for Horror Movies!

apples and oranges ...you cant compare the 2 so its hard to pick one over the other.
Universal for the classic old feel and the rich grand feel, Hammer for the grittier spin and stylish productions

This is a very tough question to answer I think there are alot of great Universal horror movies and alot of great Hammer horror movies. I cant choose just one from either Hammer or Universal as being a fave when I have so many faves.

Universal VS Hammer Horror
It's got to be Hammer Horror that wins, and for one very good reason: Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing.
