Horror actor battle: Karloff vs. Lugosi vs. Chaney vs. Price

I can't say who the king would be, but I've seen more Price movies than the others.

all uniquely wonderful, in their own way. VP is my STL homeboy.

you have give lon chaney the nod, though, for pioneering work in the genre. most of his work was silent, though, so he isn't nearly as well known as the others.

Karloff, and it's not close.

Tough, love them all but I'd say Karloff. Price is my favourite overall though.

I probably like Vincent Price the best of these choices but Bela Lugosi would probably go down as the awl thyme best.

It's between Price and Karloff, both of whom are vastly underrated as actors because they made so many crap moves.

I don't think I could choose between them, but if you held a gun to my head I'd pick Karloff on the strength of the excellent "The Body Snatcher". He plays a grave robber, and having a good solid script for once inspired him to new heights of charm, humor, evil, sinisterness, etc. He's just fabulous, and it's a damn good mid-century movie.

I don't know that Price ever got a role that good, which is Hollywood's fault and not his. But do check out "The Body Snatcher".

THE ONE...THE ONLY...🦇BELA LUGOSI.
