The Raven (Lugosi and Karloff)
I saw the Raven last night and it changed my perspective on Lugosi as an actor. I'm impressed by how he handles the jilted doctor and how his menace has a real emotional undercurrent that really comes out. I think this might have been his best performance. His Dracula was strong and he was very good in White Zombie, but I think this might have been his time to shine. There were serious shades of Peter Lorre in Mad Love.

My second favorite Lugosi film, after Dracula. This remains one of my cherished memories of movie-watching.:)

This is indeed a great role for Lugosi and a masterpiece film all around.
I really like Lugosi as Ygor as well, in Son of Frankenstein, it's a very sly portrayal.

It's one of the first films I ever saw - atmospheric and wicked. :D
Apart from Lugosi and Karloff, I think Lorre was exceptionally creepy in that one too!

The 1963 film (a comedy) had Karloff, Vincent Price and Lorre.

The 1963 Raven was a ton of fun, though.
