It is also reported when Peter Lorre and Vincent Price went to view Bela Lugosi at Bela's funeral, upon seeing Bela dressed in his famous Dracula cape, Lorre quipped "Do you think we should drive a stake through his heart just in case?

I had such a sudden sadness when you stood in the cemetery and mentioned all those names of well loved actors. Life ends so suddenly for so many. ❤ Thank you for covering Bela.

The Smoke Shop was so vintage, even when you went there. It's sad that Hollywood is so quick to tear down landmarks.
This was great. Thanks Scott
🕊️❤️🙏

I loved going in the smoke shop. I just watched a Bela Lugosi movie last night called Scared To Death. Better than what is on now a days.

Bela was a gentleman and I couldn't see him cursing the way it was portrayed in Ed Wood. At least he had a proper burial with a marker at the same time.

[Spikestrip]

My father was in the same rehab center with Bela. My dad always spoke very highly of the actor.

I grew up just about ten miles from where Charles Manson was locked up and I remember watching Sharon’s mom on the news when his parole hearings would come, my heart always hurt for her. Charles Manson was the boogie man for me so damn evil.

Scott, you do such good work, so knowledgeable and respectful. Thank you!

[renayconner]

Rip Sharon and her family and her son people seem to forget him may God hold you in his arms

It 's kind of sad that he never received the accolades for his acting as he did in his home country. He was considered the John Barrymore of Hungary.

[louisegrimwood]

I love Bela Lugosi movies! Ever since I was a kid.

[donnastedham]

It's so sad that Hollywood landmarks are just torn down. Enjoyed hearing more about Bela Lugosi.
