"You'll Find Out": A mystery/comedy with "Boris Karloff" & "Peter Lorre" - where Bela Lugosi is a psychic medium (hence the turban) and there is one of the coolest and most swanky seance scenes ever with Bela conjuring the "Fire of Death" to protect the room from Evil spirits while Kay Kaiser's band plays some mood music ...complete with glowing conductor baton! The film was nominated for an Academy Award in 1940 for Best Original Song (I'd Know You Anywhere). Yeah, it's got musical numbers! #2.) - "Mark of the Vampire" (also known as Vampires of Prague) 1935: Mark of the Vampire was originally 75 minutes, but was cut back to 61 minutes by MGM. Reportedly this was due to incestuous overtones – then unacceptable by the standards of the Production Code – between Count Mora (played by Lugosi) and his daughter Luna. In the original script, it is explained that Count Mora was condemned to eternity as a vampire for this crime. The now-mysterious blood on the right temple is the result of him shooting himself out of guilt. #3.) "White Zombie" (1932) This is one of my all time favorite films, for many reasons. It has some amazing visuals, that still are creepy and striking. It's perhaps the very first "Zombie" film ever made. It treated it's black characters not as stereo-types so common in the 30's but as real people not in the embrassing "over-the-top" comedy relief all black characters were forced to play in films of that time period. And, of course, Béla Lugosi stars as the antagonist, "Murder Legendre". One of Béla's best roles ever! Really at the top of his game. Béla Lugosi is in Fantaisticly extreme villianous make-up (with ultra arched eye-brows and a satanic looking forked beard) designed by the famous Jack Pierce - the genius responsible for the make-up of several other famous horror films of the era including Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, and The Mummy (1932). "White Zombie"'s an American independent Pre-Code horror film directed and produced by brothers Victor Halperin and Edward Halperin. The screenplay by Garnett Weston, based on a book by William Seabrook, it tells the story of a young woman's transformation into a zombie at the hands of an evil voodoo master; Béla Lugosi as "Murder Legendre" the King of the Zombies! I so love this film, I made a "Tiki-Art Low-Brow" painting bout it: "Béla Lugosi has a Zombie", 24" x 30" acrylic on Canvas. - OKAY - You Won!
