Bela Lugosi was the best Dracula because all he did was far more implied and far more darkly sinister than the more toothy and bloody later versions (who also were scary in their own right)... I think the later movie versions, in particular the "Bram Stoker's Dracula" movie, did a better job with the actual novel than Lugosi's movie did. But Bela was the epitome of all Dracula characters on-screen. Great capture of his image's image.

@Viewfinder: Bela was the best, sometimes the implied horror IS more scary because it allows your mind to wander and come up with it's own conclusions!
