I think we’re all agreed that a late blog post is better than no blog post at all (oh, I suppose YOU don’t agree) (you know who you are). Therefore, I sit here Tuesday morning (lounged on my couch, ten-finger typing into my Chromebook, just to give you the picture) and indulging in a Monstrous Monday post. Full disclosure: My Monday was not all that monstrous. Until the end of the day, when I got hit with a massive case of “I CAN’T!” I knew it wasn’t true and proved it by doing just a couple of things. But making a blog post, alas, was not one of them.
He looks a little malevolent to me.
I was going to caption this, “I bid you velcome,” which he says at some point, but then I thought, that is not a welcoming face. It is, I add for the sadly uninitiated, the late great Bela Lugosi in the role that made him famous, Count Dracula.
Apes had a bad rep in Hollywood at the time.
Here’s Lugosi later in his career, in The Ape Man. That was a pretty good one if I recall. I have it on my DVD Collection of 50 Horror Classics (some of which are more classic than others, as you may imagine). Perhaps I will watch it again in the near future.
Is that a smile you can trust?
Since this seems to be turning into a Bela Lugosi Post, I add one more picture of the master. Would you follow that face up a long staircase by the light of just one candle? Points to ponder.
In the meantime, I have gotten over 250 words, and I believe they weren’t too whiny (except when I shared my bout of “I Can’t,” but you’ll have that, especially in this blog). As always, I thank you for tuning in.
