Bela Lugosi born in 1882



It almost seems appropo that less than two weeks from Halloween, Bela Lugosi, who played one of the most fearsome monsters to ever appear on screen, was born this day back in 1882.

His movie, "Night Monster", was released on his birthday in 1942.  Did they throw him a party?

Despite the huge body of work he accomplished, he died penniless due mainly to his drug addiction.  He was awarded his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960, almost 4 years after his death.
