Matt Roush says...
Leaning into the Halloween season, TCM christens Hungarian-born horror-movie icon Bela Lugosi its Star of the Month. It only makes sense to kick off the tribute with his best-known role: the sinister vampire Count Dracula in Tod Browning’s atmospheric and influential 1931 movie, which made Lugosi a star (albeit typecast forever after in mostly “B” genre movies). The lineup starts at 8/7c and continues with several of his better films: 1932’s Murders in the Rue Morgue (9:30/8:30c) as a mad doctor, 1932’s Island of Lost Souls (11/10c) as a beastly experimental hybrid in Dr. Moreau’s (Charles Laughton) eerie menagerie; an adversary of rival Boris Karloff in 1934’s The Black Cat (12:15 am/11:15c), and a cameo as a fortune-teller who encounters Lon Chaney Jr. in 1941’s The Wolf Man (1:30 am/12:30c).
