TEAM BELA! According to greGGory,
I love this story, but it’s simply not true. Neither one was at Lugosi’s funeral. Nor was Boris Karloff who was rumored to have passed the casket and said, “Come now, Bela, you’re putting us on.”
Which was the sexiest? A very good question, my friends. So hard to decide. I’ve blogged about my love for Price numerous times, but really when it comes down to it, I’ve gotta go with the corpse. Yes, TEAM BELA!
Which reminds me of a great Vincent Price story (also probably not true, but awesome; aren’t ALL the best stories both of those?). Seems one day he was filming The Abominable Dr. Phibes in full, revolting makeup, done up as a mouthless creature whose skull was covered with a crisped web of throbbing red scar tissue. The character had to eat and drink through a hole in his throat. Well, one day Price was taking a break down by the river when a boatload of lookie-lous came by, hooting, hollering, waving, and behaving un-Englishly. He eyed them over, then took a sandwich out of his pocket, unwrapped it, and proceeded to tear it into teeny little pieces, which he fed through the hole in his throat, mewling pitifully the entire time.
I don’t know what that boat ride cost, but it was SO WORTH IT!
