The Carradine and Borland interviews in "Lugosi: The Forgotten King" were done at Ackermansion, and it is the same chair. According to Forry the chair was previously owned by Abraham Lincoln. BTW, an updated version of Lugosi: The Forgotten King" will...

What about his appearance on Matinee Theater? Terrible that no one even thought of approaching Lugosi.

Good eye. Those on-screen interviews were shot on 16mm several years before we did our show, by Mark Gilman for his "Lugosi the Forgotten King," and used with Mark's OK. I think all his stuff was shot at Forry Ackerman's house (except maybe the Ral...

Just looked it up, this is the quote used in '100 Years of Horror': "...the first ones I did were for Universal when I started playing Dracula and Bela had been doing it and Bela was getting to old for it and they handed [it] to me and I did it three time...

I wouldn't mind owning a Carradine Drac cape but wouldn't pay 1.5 million.

I think I did include it. Someone gave me a VHS copy of a tape of Carradine, uncut, which I don't think was ever incorporated into anything, but the visual quality was awful. I may've used the audio... even if the old man was telling tall tale...

Wasn't that quote featured in an episode of '100 Years of Horror'? Isn't the guy who made '100 Years of Horror' a member of this forum? He might know more about this! What was his name...Ed Newton?

Those are wonderful shots from Carradine's various Draculine incarnations. And he's right, in the stage version he looks exactly as Stoker described the Old Man. Finally! H.

John Carradine always referred to VOODOO MAN as his worst film, until BILLY THE KID VERSUS DRACULA supplanted it. As to him saying he never did a film called VOODOO MAN, well, its working title was announced as TIGER MAN, so I would rate this an intention...

No mention of Nocturna? He was actually pretty funny in that.

Carradine was in a typically crappy Al Adamson film called DOCTOR DRACULA.

<< Carradine DID remember O.P. Heggie, but only because he saw him perform several years later in On Borrowed Time << ON BORROWED TIME - written in 1938 O.P. Heggie - died in 1936 I guess he didn't remember O.P. Heggie either!

Wasn't his vampire name in VAMPIRE HOOKERS one of Long John's own monickers--Richmond Reed? Or something close to that.

Well, Carradine didn't remember being in BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN either, and you'd think those couple of days would stand out, with his "old friend" Boris Karloff, in full monster battle array, a fight, a fire, and actor O.P. Heggie-- whom Carradine DID rem...

I've seen a video interview with old Long John in which he talks about playing Dracula... "I did it three times at Universal, and in the Philipines, and in Munich with Curt Jurgens." I can buy his confusion about the number of times at Universa...
