"Dracula" and "Frankenstein's Monster" are horror cinema icons, and the actors most deeply associated with the two roles also shared a creative friendship. Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff starred in dozens of black-and-white horror films, and over the years managed to collaborate on and co-star in eight movies. Through dozens of interviews and archival research, this book examines the Golden Age of Hollywood, the era in which both stars worked, recreates the shooting of Lugosi and Karloff's mutual films, examines their odd and moving personal relationship and analyzes their ongoing legacies. Features include a fully detailed filmography of the eight Karloff and Lugosi films, color inserts of the eight movie posters, and more than 250 photographs.
