Kidnapped Brides are his victims!
This film for me showed signs of being compared to Dracula. Lugosi is the evil doctor who drugs soon-to-be brides with a poisoned orchid and extracts their essence to keep his rapidly ageing wife alive. Lugosi's assistant, a hunchbacked and moronic creature also showed similarities with Count Dracula's Reinfield. The story in itself was pretty cheesy but still managed to kick a decent punch in the scare records. Lugosi is the most amazing presence on screen and you really feel like you can't keep your eyes off him, regardless of what he is doing; he truly is one of the early horror greats of the screen.
