Bela Lugosi’s dead – Bauhaus vs Nouvelle Vague
A character as tragic as his roles. Iconic, intriguing, irritating, haunting -- Bela Lugosi (born on now Romanian territory -- Lugoj) was cursed to play the role of Dracula all his life. Unable to detach his image from that of a monster he slowly started to embrace it. This is why we find him as an old man playing Dracula sketches and as a final legacy to horror movies, playing in Ed Wood’s movies, characters that are beyond pathetic -- to the point that you hang them on your wall.
