Bela Lugosi
He created the version of Dracula which has best stood the test of time, but he struggled afterward. The story of this remarkable man is told. We have haunts on Facebook, Twitter @HalloweenHaunt and Google+. Thank you, Tim, for the suggestion of this topic at HalloweenHaunt.wordpress.com.
Learn more about Bela on the family’s website devoted to him, and Wikipedia.

Of course, I regularly check Internet Movie Database for celebrity birthdays. And since I checked Saturday, i was aware of Bela’s birthday. Speaking of him, he was on Turner Classic Movies the other night in “The Black Cat” with Karloff.
