This is another classic to hear around Halloween time. Its Bauhaus with Bela Lugosi's Dead. Lugosi was probably best known for his role in 1931's Bram Stoker's, Dracula. Before becoming a film, Dracula was a Broadway play in 1927.

Lugosi has influenced numerous acts in pop culture from the Bauhaus to the Kinks who wrote a song called Celluloid Heros.This is not the original Bauhaus video, it is the 12" single of the song and includes some nice shots throughout. Its over nine minutes long but well worth the listen.

Bela Lugosi's Dead

White on white translucent black capes
Back on the rack
Bela Lugosi's dead
The bats have left the bell tower
The victims have been bled
Red velvet lines the black box
Bela Lugosi's dead
Undead undead undead
The virginal brides file past his tomb
Strewn with time's dead flowers
Bereft in deathly bloom
Alone in a darkened room
The count
Bela Logosi's dead
Undead undead undead
