Red velvet lines the black box

[ericcoleman]

Here are the rules.

Answer only one quote.

If you answer more than one I will delete your reply. If there are quotes still not answered the next day I will open it up to any and all guesses.

Most weeks there is a theme. If there is not a theme I will tell you. The theme is open to guess even if you have guessed a quote.

There is a ringer in here this week, a bonus point and a winky button to whoever gets it. I also expect this one to be pretty tough.

The theme, Bela Lugosi, has been guessed by eeknight. bammba_m gets the bonus point and the winky button for knowing that quote 12 was not spoken by Bela, but by Martin Landau as Bela

Don't use a search engine (like this can be enforced). If you don't know, you don't know. Maybe next week you will.

You must either be signed into LJ, or say who you are (in case you are a friend of mine who is not on LJ). All anonymous answers will be deleted (hey, I'm obsessive, I want to know who guesses these). Oh, and don't guess as a reply to someone else's guess, on a busy day that makes it hard for me to spot your answer.

01 Your monstrous ugliness breeds monstrous hatred. Good! I can use your hate. selenesue says "I never drink The Raven"
02 They hanged me once tcgtrf says "I never drink The Son Of Frankenstein"
03 Not to spill blood, that is the law. Are we not men? blur01 says "I never drink The Island Of Dr Moreau"
04 Young people making the most of life, while it lasts. devospice says "I never drink Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein"
05 This is very old wine. I hope you will like it. bammba_m says "I never drink Dracula"
06 How fortunate, this will simplify everything! mrgoodwraith says "I never drink The Phantom Creeps"
07 Supernatural, perhaps. Baloney, perhaps not. There are many things under the sun. controuble says "I never drink The Black Cat"
08 Did I hear somebody scream?
09 No one can really tell the story. Mistakes are made. But there is no mistaking the thoughts in a man's mind. The story is begun. jcw_da_dmg says "I never drink Glen Or Glenda"
10 One is always considered mad, if one discovers something that others cannot grasp! wyngarde says "I never drink The Bride Of The Monster"
11 I always have a nice trip
12 What kind of a movie is this? eeknight says "I never drink Ed Wood"

12 - Last Action Hero?

[daisy-knotwise.livejournal.com]

Son of Frankenstein, I think.

GHR

[ericcoleman]

Which number?

I'm sorry

[ericcoleman]

That is not correct

[bammba-m.livejournal.com]

#5 Dracula

[eeknight.livejournal.com]

12 - Ed Wood. The wording seems wrong, somehow. The theme seems to be lines spoken by Bela Lugosi (or someone playing Bela).

#5

[controuble.livejournal.com]

Dracula

Theme - Horror movies?

[bammba-m.livejournal.com]

theme guess: monster movies?

#7

[controuble.livejournal.com]

Somebody beat me to #5, so #7 is The Black Cat

We Have A Winner !!!

[ericcoleman]

BING !!!

We Have A Double Winner !!!

[ericcoleman]

BING !!!

The entire line is "Eddie, what kind of a movie is this?"

I'm sorry

[ericcoleman]

That is not correct, the theme has been guessed, it is Bela Lugosi lines.

We Have A Winner !!!

[ericcoleman]

BING !!!

[ericcoleman]

And go read the instructions, there is something there that pertains to this

I'm sorry

[ericcoleman]

As you said below, just a moment too late, and the theme has been guessed, Bela Lugosi

Re: We Have A Winner !!!

[powersalad.livejournal.com]

Half of that line also appears in The Monkees' "Head" and on the soundtrack LP.

[bammba-m.livejournal.com]

Is that because Bela was a character and not the actor speaking the line?

[ericcoleman]

YOU get a winky button !!!

[blur01.livejournal.com]

#3 sounds like the Island of Dr. Moreau

We Have A Winner !!!

[ericcoleman]

It sounds EXACTLY like The Island Of Dr Moreau

BING !!!

[erik]

Now that I know the theme, I am supremely disappointed that Bella had no lines in the paragon of all films, Plan 9 From Outer Space.

[powersalad.livejournal.com]

Eric you may wanna check the links, I didn't guess the theme nor get #7, but thanks for the seeming credit anyways! (unless it's my LJ page screwing up)

[ericcoleman]

ACK ... fixed ...

[selenesue.livejournal.com]

Drat, checking in late on account of a day off of work.

#1 is THE RAVEN.

We Have A Winner !!!

[ericcoleman]

BING !!!

The Count

[barondave.livejournal.com]

I don't have any guesses, but let me plug The Count: The life and films of Bela "Dracula" Lugosi by my college film professor, Arthur Lennig. I've never read the book, but Lennig loved the subject (they met) and he had enough Lugosi memorabilia in his office to start a Planet Hollywood.

[tcgtrf.livejournal.com]

#2 is Son of Frankenstein.

TC

We Have A Winner !!!

[ericcoleman]

BING !!!

Re: The Count

OOPS!

[daisy-knotwise.livejournal.com]

Well, that's a BIG DUH on me!
It was #2.
Too little, too late, Gretchen

GHR

#8

[controuble.livejournal.com]

The Wolf Man?

I'm sorry

[ericcoleman]

That is not correct.

He has such a small part in The Wolf Man I couldn't get a good quote. I need to buy the Universal box set soon.

[mrgoodwraith.livejournal.com]

#6 is the infamous line from "The Phantom Creeps." Ah, MST3K...how I miss thee!

Also, technically, for #3 the title of the version that Lugosi starred in is "Island of Lost Souls."

[mrgoodwraith.livejournal.com]

A line you could have used, if it wasn't so terribly obscure, is my favorite of Bela's from that overlooked and unintentionally hilarious trainwreck of a film called "Zombies on Broadway" (1945):

Dr. Paul Renault (Lugosi): "The fool! I know nothing about zombies. I came here to study a strange coconut blight!"
