In his own way, Bela Lugosi is responsible for the creation of not one - but two - Universal monster movie icons. Though associated with a long list of classic horror movies, Lugosi's name will always be tied to Count Dracula. In 1931's big-screen adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula novel, Lugosi became the first of several actors to play Dracula in an official capacity, and in doing so, helped form the image associated with the character today.
