About this listen

Bela Lugosi is a true screen icon forever memorialized for his performance as Dracula in the legendary 1931 film, and it is as that supernatural creature he is best remembered. Yet Lugosi's talents went far-beyond the blood-sucking count, mad doctors and voodoo masters. In this book, long-time Lugosi fan Peter H. Brothers examines the actor's screen performances from diabolical villains such as Dr. Mirakle in "Murders in the Rue Morgue" and Dr. Richard Vollin in the 1935 "The Raven" to unexpected comedic turns in "Broadminded" and "International House." A perfectionist, Lugosi was also a supremely versatile actor capable of nuance and subtlety, lending his Poesque presence to some of the most memorable horror films of all time. While there have been many books written about the actor, "No Sympathy for the Vampire" focuses on the performance aspect of the actor's work, as the author examines over 70 of the actor's roles, from silent films to sound. The author also explains why Lugosi's sexual aura and charismatic mystique made him one of the true originals of the American screen. Written in the author's engagingly signature style and filled with fascinating photographs, "No Sympathy for the Vampire" is both an artistic appreciation and affectionate tribute to one of the enduring icons of the Silver Screen.
