Question:
Out of these 6 who do you watch more?
Option 1: Bela Lugosi
Option 2: Boris Karloff
Option 3: Vincent Price
Option 4: Lon Chaney
Option 5: Lon Chaney Jr.
Option 6: Chispther Lee
Out of these 6 who do you watch more? I am not asking which one you like more because they are all kings of horror. I am asking who's movies you watch more often? There are more king's of horrors but i want to know who you like to watch more out of these 6.
I voted for Bela, as because I've a few boxed sets and just seem to see more of his films.
OG
Bela for me, too!
I like Bela above all contenders, but probably see more Vincent Price (who is a close second for me) overall.
Bela, 'cause sometimes I'll just want to watch a bad movie to fall asleep, and he made plenty of them.

LOL!! For sure!! But no one could elevate pure crap like Bela. And in a good vehicle, he was the best!!
I'd say Boris and Bela get equal time (or close to it) in my DVD player.....
chris lee baby.
Boris. He gets a lot of play with my Legacy Collection.
Boris,mainly due to owning the Thriller DVD set as well as The Veil. Great stuff.
Vincent Price...no doubt.
Vincent Price!!! But, Boris and Bela, Chris Lee are all great too!
Vincent Price, the ruling king of horror. Lon Chaney Sr. rates high with me too, but i watch more Price than any other Horror Actor.
I'd have to say Vincent simply because he was in more. He was in BATMAN, F-TROOP, THE BRADY BUNCH, and he did all of those awesome commercials.
Yep, another vote for Vincent! All those great Poe AIP flicks (as well as other AIP roles), his team ups with Castle, as well as a host of other roles in various genres. I definitely watch more of him.
I voted for vincent price too. I really like price, but the others are really good to.
Price is an Icon of the genre and a great actor but many of his roles have a bit too much haminess in em for my taste. Very tongue in cheek whether intentional or not.

I dunno about haminess...but I do like his cockiness in his roles...
Vincent Price is without a doubt the most versatile actor on that list . . . the sheer volume of his work puts him at the (shrunken) head of the class. He rarely played a "monster" as such but the genre would not be the same without him.
Yeah and VP was using a whip before anyone ever heard of Indiana Jones!
(that's a bit inside, I know :))
I voted for Boris just because I have been on a Son and House of Frankenstein kick for a year now.
I enjoy them all of course, but Chaney, Sr. has become my favorite entertainer over the years. I enjoy his artistry, & there's a mystique surrounding him that's never died for me.
