On this day in horror history.... a man known primarily for his role as 'Dracula', Bela Lugosi passes away. A horror legend and the man who created the image that is forever burned into brains, of what a vampire is. He, sadly, faded into obscurity and drug abuse, before attempting to clean up his act and make a comeback. Even Ed Wood's good intentions and attempts to revive the former star, never brought him back to his former glory. RIP Bela.

On this day in horror history.... an unappreciated horror classic featuring Bela Lugosi, 'White Zombie', is released! A film that deserves a wider audience. It's starting to gain more recognition, as the years go by, but long before then.... Mr. Rob Zombie knew what a classic it was, as he named his band after it. A little extra 'Horror History' for you!
