Castle of Horror: 'The Black Cat' Reflected Bela Lugosi's True-Life War Trauma
Our Bela Lugosi series takes a turn towards a movie that teams the star of Universal's Dracula against their "Frankenstein," Boris Karloff. But it's so much more– this lean film tells the story of two men facing off in a strange castle, where memories of wartime atrocities lay over a human chess game between them. It's a showcase for two villains to face off, but Lugosi's performance shows real pain– such as when he closes his eyes when forced to listen to a bus driver's chatty retelling of the bloody battles between Hungarian and Russian soldiers and rivers choked with flesh. Those memories are real for Lugosi's character, but they were real for Lugosi as well. We talk about the film and why shorter films can succeed where longer ones don't.
