What is some of your favorite bela lugosi movies NOT INCLUDING DRACULA?
I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

Moonshadow

My favorite Lugosi performance is his work as Ygor from Son of Frankenstein. He steals the show! The evilness just drips off of him.

Herr Vogel

It's hard to disagree with Moonshadow, but White Zombie comes close for me.

I would add the Invisible Ray to these lists-excellent role for Bela there!
Supernatural, perhaps; baloney, perhaps not.

Lugosi is fantastic as the bad guy in "Chandu the Magician" and he's a wonderful good guy in "The Invisible Ray", but he's absolutely iconic in "White Zombie." I think "Chandu" is one thing I'd recommend here that many likely haven't seen.

obviously not Dracula  :o

actually a comedy, "Spooks run wild"

Dr. Madd

This was a hoot-another "guilty pleasure" for me is "Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla"  :)

I really dig bela in the 40's, you got classics like One Body Too Many, The Devil Bat, Invisble Ghost, The Corpse Vanishes, and many more. People  hardly talk about his low budget 1940s films. That is one of my favorite decades for him.
