Two best Dracs in cinema history. Two legends will never die
I like them both but prefer Gary Oldman.
They and Gary Oldman
no hassle Bela Lugosi is the best and always will be. Gary oldman can’t compare. He did his own great interpretation. But there’s no comparison. Bela Lugosi just WAS the count and always will be. Accent and all. He CLAIMED that role.
@@sociopathsurvivor7129 just like Boris Karloff is the one that owns Frankenstein James whale was fascinated by him and his facial structure and another amazing fact Lon Chaney jr was the only one to play Frankenstein the wolf man Dracula and the mummy he sure took after his father!
Claes Bang’s Dracula is literally a hybrid of both of them
Awesome. All these years and I never realized he wore a copy of Bela's ring.
A tribute to the man who was a icon to many
Lugosi and lee are the best Dracula's of all time no one will be nowhere near as good as them
RIP Bela Lugosi (October 20, 1882 - August 16, 1956), aged 73
And
RIP Sir Christopher Lee (May 27, 1922 - June 7, 2015), aged 93
You both will be remembered as legends.
I love how Lee shows respect for the source material. It wouldn’t be genuine to Dracula’s origins otherwise. There are creative liberties of course, though some of the most iconic films have no dialogues.
Great tribute and memory! Two incredible actors
Had Lugosi lived through the rest of the 50s and through the 60s, he would've definitely made his comeback in films as horror films started to become popular again after he died with Hammer productions and Roger Coreman's films giving some memorable films. These new wave of horror films made stars of Vincent Price, Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing while making established stars like Karloff, Lore, and Carradine even greater. Lugosi would've definitely had his comeback and what a time he would've had.
Lee’s voice has really deepened. His voice sounds almost completely different from his own Dracula days
Both Christopher and Bela are legends! ❤
Lee is my favorite actor ever and my personal favorite Dracula. I mean I have a tattoo of him on my shoulder as Dracula. BUT, Lugosi IS Dracula. It's one of those instances where actor and character are eternally linked. It's iconic. I know ppl who've never seen the 1931 film but they know who Dracula is when shown a picture. I can't choose whom I'd say is a better Dracula. If Lugosi is number 1, then Lee is 1A. They are by far the top 2 on the list of actors who've portrayed the Count.
I loved the way how detailed sir Christopher lee spoke
I like Bella but will always like Christopher lee
R.I.P Count Dooku. 😢😢
WHOA! Badass.
Christoper Lee No1
Sir Christopher Lee also played Dracula in Dario Argentos Dracula .
lugoshi!
@Ian Robert Davies i think he/she was referring to the correct pronunciation of “lugosi” which is the surname bela went by as a professional actor abroad. “Lugos” was his birthplace “Lugosi” means “from Lugos” “Bela from Lugos.”
In my opinion, Christopher Lee as Dracula was simply the best! Bela Lugosi was more eerie and gothic! The Hammer Horror films were awesome! Whichever Dracula you prefer, is your choice! Frank Langella as Dracula was also fantastic!
let the games begin
Dracula himself......
Wise man. Very good
The greatest of all time.
Sometimes it's best just not to say anything 😂 sometimes you don't need words to portray a character. The strong silent theme worked best. {even the brief scenes he did speak, I didn't like it}.

I respect Christopher Lee on his respect on original novel text. Rather be a slient Dracula than speaking shitty modern English lines.
Film directors and producers these days hardly find one respect the original novel's content. In license of being 'creative' and make horrible revisions.
Dracula is the ultimate translvanian lover and the greatest badass murderer of all time
Sorry, Hammer Horror stunk. As Dennis Gifford wrote in his book on horror films, "In quantity, they are fast approaching Universal, but in quality, they have yet to reach Monogram".
Welcome home tyranus you have done well
