He was a fine actor. With the misfortune of being type cast. He of course retired the character of Dracula. My favorite Halloween movie with him is Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein. For me his best performance was the Law Sayer in Island Of Lost Souls.

I liked the battle between him and boris karloft to see who was the best at horror movies .
