      Bela Lugosi and his Morphine addition was iatrogenic, caused by a medical doctor for pain. He publicly went to a detox clinic, but there was a doubt if this was permanent. Any role he undertook was sheer genius at work.

    One of my favorite scenes in _Ed Wood_ is when Wood and the cast for _Plan 9 from Outer Space_ are at the Baptist church that Wood has convinced to finance the movie in exchange for them all being baptized. Wood (Johnny Depp) points out to Bunny Breckenridge (Bill Murray) the man he has gotten to double for the long-dead Bela Lugosi by holding his cape up to hide his face. The man, who looks nothing like Lugosi, says "I want to suck your blood!" and Breckenridge replies, "Let's hear you call Boris Karloff a cocksucker."

    I met Sara Karloff, Boris’ daughter, at a conference some years ago. She showed us home movies that showed what a sweet man her father was. His screen persona as a scary monster is a tribute to his acting skills. Both he and Bela Lugosi had performed on stage for years before entering films.

      He was not suggesting that they were one and the same, rather that they have become linked in popular culture. Think of Dracula and Lugosi comes to mind, likewise when Lugosi is mentioned one immediately thinks of Dracula. That sort of thing. 😊

    *Transylvania* is a historical and cultural region (not a city) in Central Europe, encompassing *central Romania* . To the east and south its natural border is the Carpathian Mts. Transylvania is a multiethnic region that is comprised of Romanians, Hungarians, and Germans - Dracula was Romanian & Lugosi is Hungarian, born & bred. The Treaty of Trianon (1920) made Transylvania part of Romania. Hungary gained control of northern Transylvania (1940), but it was returned to Romania after World War II. According to Bela's son (Bela George) an American attorney, Karloff, whose real name is William Pratt, points a finger at Boris for ruining his father'a career by sidelining Lugosi, using his influence. Bela Jr. whose legal actions in *Lugosi v. Universal Pictures* led to the creation of the California Celebrities Rights Act.

      Don't forget Lionel Atwill, and Basil Rathbone of course. Yes, I love that film. Ygor is a wonderfully sinister character who gets bizarrely overlooked in pop culture. When most people refer to and imitate "Igor" they almost always reference Fritz, from the first Frankenstein film, played by Dwight Frye. Lugosi takes the performance of Ygor seriously, with subtext and the way he delivers lines when Ygor is hiding something.

    Bela unfortunately was type-cast after "Dracula"; if you see him in earlier movies like the first Charlie Chan picture......theBlack Camel.....you can see how talented he really was. Also, his agents and producers tried to get him to have speech lessons to tone down his accent just a little, but he didn't, which hampered his choice of roles.
