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?

I've always liked him best in "The Body Snatchers" (even though it's really Karloff's film). And he's disturbingly repugnant -- as the hero -- in "The Black Cat." (Of course, he does skin the villain alive in that one.)

Murder, Werdegast and Doctor Mirakle are my favorites.

He doesn't have nearly enough screentime in either, but two of my favourite Lugosi roles are as Bela in The Wolf Man, and as Joseph in The Body Snatcher.
I've always wished his part in The Wolf Man could have been more substantial - as is, it's little more than a cameo :(

If anybody ever figures out where Karloff got those pajamas he wears in The Black Cat, please let me know.

I get a serious case of the creeps watching a short clip of Lugosi and hairy friends in Island Of Lost Souls.
