Question 1 of 10
1. We'll start REALLY easy. I'll practically give it away. And so easy you have to tell me what it is. This film made Bela Lugosi a household name. It made him and a historical character inseprable for all time.

Answer: (I bid you welcome - (1 word))
Question 2 of 10
2. This film came out in 1932. Bela plays Murder Legendre, a Haitain who uses his voodoo powers to try to win the affections of a certain lady, Madeleine. Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. This film, also released in 1932, features Bela as Dr. Mirackle, a man who is bent on proving man's kinship with the ape. He kidnaps girls to experiment and find the "missing link". Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. This film of Bela's was released in 1932. He plays Joseph Steiner, a studio executive. The premise is that while filming a movie, the star player gets killed and everyone that was on the set at the time is the suspect. Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. This next one came out in 1934. It was the first time that Bela and Boris worked together. Bela plays Dr. Vitus Werdegast, a P.O.W. who has been in prison for 15 years and decides to pay Hjalmar Poelzig, played by Boris, a visit. Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. Now I'm going to go to my other favorite Karloff/Lugosi match up. This one was released in 1935. Lugosi plays Dr. Vollin, a man who takes Poe just a LITTLE too seriously. He falls for a girl, Jean, but she is afraid of his advances. Karloff plays Edmond Bateman, a robber running away from the cops who just wants to have plastic surgery so the they don't get him. Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. This next film, released in 1939, has Bela as the butler, Peters, in a home where Mr. Stevens' life has been threatened. 3 detectives (well, sort of): Harrigan, Mulligan and Garrity are called in to investigate. Which movie might this be? Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. This next film was also released in 1939. Another Karloff/Lugosi match up, Bela portrays Ygor, a man who was hanged--but yet he lived. Ygor was one of Bela's favorite characters. Basil Rathbone is also in the film. Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. This film is yet another Karloff/Lugosi match-up, but this is a strange one. It was released in 1940 with Karloff as Dr. Sovac, and Bela as gangster Eric Marney. This is strange because they had no scenes opposite each other. Which one is this? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. And my final favorite Bela film is one that was kind of like his last hurrah before those ghastly Ed Wood films. He played Dracula for the last time on-screen, and was incredible. This time, though, he was in a comedy. One of the greatest comedy teams in the world was in this film, and it couldn't be funnier. Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. We'll start REALLY easy. I'll practically give it away. And so easy you have to tell me what it is. This film made Bela Lugosi a household name. It made him and a historical character inseprable for all time.

Answer: Dracula

I told you it was easy! Dracula made Bela an American film star, and cemented him in horror movies for the rest of his days. In later years, Bela stated: "Dracula was a blessing and a curse". I must agree. He was known as a pretty funny guy. It's a shame we never got to see that side.
2. This film came out in 1932. Bela plays Murder Legendre, a Haitain who uses his voodoo powers to try to win the affections of a certain lady, Madeleine.

Answer: White Zombie

This was an incredibly creepy movie. I say that because it was not released by some big-budget movie studio. But they took advantage of atmosphere, and that is why this film is so cool. It has been stated that Bela took part in writing this film. Way to go!
3. This film, also released in 1932, features Bela as Dr. Mirackle, a man who is bent on proving man's kinship with the ape. He kidnaps girls to experiment and find the "missing link".

Answer: Murders in the Rue Morgue

This movie, set in 19th century France, has a very interesting plot. Women have been disappearing off the streets and turning up dead in the river. Mirackle is conducting experiments to find a mate for his giant gorilla, Erik. Oh, and by the way--check out Bela's fro in this one! Hehehehe.
4. This film of Bela's was released in 1932. He plays Joseph Steiner, a studio executive. The premise is that while filming a movie, the star player gets killed and everyone that was on the set at the time is the suspect.

Answer: The Death Kiss

Very cool film. It is one of those that have a surprise ending. Bela is NOT the murderer, but the actual murderer kept himelf very well covered. It wasn't until the very last scene that he was discovered.
5. This next one came out in 1934. It was the first time that Bela and Boris worked together. Bela plays Dr. Vitus Werdegast, a P.O.W. who has been in prison for 15 years and decides to pay Hjalmar Poelzig, played by Boris, a visit.

Answer: The Black Cat

Poor Dr. Werdegast. He not only loses his wife, he loses his daughter too. Poelzig is a satanic priest who sacrifices women as part of his ceremonies. Vitus' wife was part of that ghastly ritual. Vitus' daughter was killed because she disobeyed Poelzig when he told her to stay in her room. This is one of the only films where Bela gets your pity. Awesome job by both guys.
6. Now I'm going to go to my other favorite Karloff/Lugosi match up. This one was released in 1935. Lugosi plays Dr. Vollin, a man who takes Poe just a LITTLE too seriously. He falls for a girl, Jean, but she is afraid of his advances. Karloff plays Edmond Bateman, a robber running away from the cops who just wants to have plastic surgery so the they don't get him.

Answer: The Raven

This time the feeling is poor Bateman. In this film, Karloff is the one to get your pity, but I feel that he was a much better villain. In "The Black Cat", you really hated Poelzig by at least half way through. It took a little longer for you to hate Dr. Vollin--but you do. Another excellent performance.
7. This next film, released in 1939, has Bela as the butler, Peters, in a home where Mr. Stevens' life has been threatened. 3 detectives (well, sort of): Harrigan, Mulligan and Garrity are called in to investigate. Which movie might this be?

Answer: The Gorilla

The is one of my absolute favorites. "Yoohoo, Gorilla!" That line cracks me up every time. Bela was cast to add a bit of suspenseful overtones to the film. If you want a good laugh with a comedy team other than the Marx brothers, this film is it.
8. This next film was also released in 1939. Another Karloff/Lugosi match up, Bela portrays Ygor, a man who was hanged--but yet he lived. Ygor was one of Bela's favorite characters. Basil Rathbone is also in the film.

Answer: Son of Frankenstein

I couldn't say who Boris portrayed because--that would've been a dead giveaway (no pun intended)! The last Universal installment of the Frankenstein films, with Boris playing the monster for the very last time. Basil Rathbone plays Wolfgang von Frankenstein, a young man who becomes obsessed with the idea of carrying on his father's work.

In my opinion, the best Frankenstein of them all.
9. This film is yet another Karloff/Lugosi match-up, but this is a strange one. It was released in 1940 with Karloff as Dr. Sovac, and Bela as gangster Eric Marney. This is strange because they had no scenes opposite each other. Which one is this?

Answer: Black Friday

Even though Karloff and Lugosi have no scenes together, this is still a very interesting film. Quiet, humble Professor Kingsley is walking across the street one day and SMACK! gets hit by a car. The driver, gangster Red Cannon is trying to get away from other gansters in another car. Dr. Sovac, the professor's best friend, will do anything to keep him alive--literally.

He transplants part of Cannon's brain into Kingsley's body-and thus a game of Jekyll and Hyde begins. Bela's character of Eric Marney is a rival gangster who wants to find Red's money. But, one by one, these gangsters disappear. Very cool film.
10. And my final favorite Bela film is one that was kind of like his last hurrah before those ghastly Ed Wood films. He played Dracula for the last time on-screen, and was incredible. This time, though, he was in a comedy. One of the greatest comedy teams in the world was in this film, and it couldn't be funnier.

Answer: Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein

This has to be one of the greatest comedies of all time. A wonderful performance by everyone in the film, everyone looks like they're having a blast. "What did I do? He's dancin' with my girl. I'll show her!"
