10 Most Sinister Bela Lugosi Roles, Ranked

"Bela Lugosi is one of the kings of early horror, his name appearing in the credits for dozens and dozens of dark and scary films between the 1920s and 1940s. Lugosi was born in a region of Hungary now located in Romania. After starring in some Hungarian silent films in the 1910s, Lugosi moved to Germany to advance his career. Soon later, Weimar-era German policies restricted his creative potential, and he immigrated to the United States in 1920. Lugosi's most iconic role is as the vampire Count Dracula in the 1931 feature of the same name, but his filmography is far more expansive than this. He is also known as a frequent collaborator with two other horror greats: Lon Chaney Jr. and Boris Karloff. This list compiles Lugosi's 10 most terrifying roles, ranked by their degree of sinisterness."
