'bout time a decent Lugosi espirit cropped up !

MOTTO: Everything vaguely or otherwise related to Béla Lugosi ; fan-works, material and infos in one cuddly convenient place. (*Patience, still under construction.)
BUT - considering how great many artworks are out there, we're BROAD SPECTRUM group, covering a few other areas of interest to keep the fun going - although it's mainly Béla's Show!

REASON D'ETRE:

Even now he's getting attention almost exclusively due to eerie camerade Dracula

but he did play other parts; those should get more recognition too.
Go & see ''The Black Cat'', infidels ...
