How it scared people
The vibe
Lugosi's stillness carries the whole thing — he barely blinks, and the camera lets him hold a look until it becomes uncomfortable. But there's almost no score, so long stretches play in a dead silence that reads as either eerie or stagey depending on your patience. Watch it for the icon it minted, not for fear.
