Interview With The Vampire…’s Granddaughter

Lynne Lugosi Sparks carries on her grandfather’s legacy

Lynne Lugosi Sparks, granddaughter of Dracula’s Bela Lugosi and countess of Lugosi Enterprises sits down to chat about her family’s legacy, growing up Lugosi, partying with the Karloffs, and whether Bela ever drank… wine.

Along the way we spend some time geeking out on Bauhaus, Tim Burton movies, the early days of SAG, Dracula vs Orlock, 1931 Spanish vs 1931 English, and Lugosi vs Universal Pictures.
