. Dracula by zsoly  DRACULA: is not available to view online, but

let's just say it as it is:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=8txyRh…

the Spanish version had Lupita Tovar and the

English version had, well ~ Béla Lugosi!

For all the pleasures these two movies continue to bring us,

do dig up both, watch both, compare (and love) both! :) :rose:

:iconikilleditplz::iconsaysplz: YES INDEED!!!! :nod:

We have now concluded our very :heart: pride and joy,


the :flame: 6th ever Lugosiana!!!! :woohoo:


Especially for the purpose of this contest have the judges been

imported from the non-Wi-Fi area in the Carpathian mountains, briefly reanimated,

tenderly drowned in blood and champagne - and only then have they agreed to
- under pain of immediate sunlight :sun: - come to an unanimous decision;


here's the result of their Moot!!! :fuzzydemon:



:star: :star: :star: 1st place and 1200 points: :iconharlequinqb: with his work:

The Monster the Bride and the Bat by HarlequiNQB :iconfearmeplz:

In our modern day and age the ''three for the price of one'' is just too good an offer!!! :giggle:

Since this group has strong ties to all three characters, your work represents and perfectly captures

the very Spirit of Lugosi-camaraderie! (... So it's really FOUR for the price of one! ;))

:star: :star: 2nd place and 400 points: :iconelef8eria: with her work:

:thumb566971779: :iconwooooplz:

An utmost creepy depiction of THREE iconic bloodsuckers, coming to get us from the darkness of our minds! :faint: (Hail to the undead!)

:star: 3rd place and 400 points: :iconchaosfive-55: with his work:

Her Tainted Lips...
Beware the darksome maid, Shavaughn,
Who stalks barefoot across the lawn
From her cold dark-veinéd marble tomb
To gnaw your soul and seal your doom...
She casts her spells of madness wild,
This strange and lovely woman-child
Whose long dark tresses and pale skin
Conceal the horrors that lurk within...
Her tainted lips part in such a smile
That would make Van Helsing run a mile--
O, linger not! Beware her eyes!
In love and dread her victim dies
As her impish laugh rings through the night
In macabre, wicked, pure delight...
:iconheeplz:
