I am glad you included his part as Hermann in the non-Universal THE VAMPIRE BAT (1933). And of course he will always be remembered for his roles as Renfield, Fritz and Karl in three Universal classics. His maniacal laugh in DRACULA and his exclamation of "Don't touch that!" in FRANKENSTEIN will never be forgotten. And if only he hadn't dropped that first jar at the beginning of FRANKENSTEIN!

Happy Birthday to the greatest madman/assistant of them all, Dwight Frye.

My favourites have always been classically trained "Characters", and Dwight Frye is probably at the top of the list. Where would our horror films be without people like Ernest Thesiger, Una O'Connor and E.E. Clive?
Also, Don't forget Walter Kingsford and Beulah Bondi from INVISIBLE RAY, and Halliwell Hobbes and Billy Bevan from DRACULA'S DAUGHTER. (they played the two constables) Last,but NEVER least, Ms. Violet Kemble Cooper as Mother Rukh in INVISIBLE RAY, and Samuel S. Hinds in THE RAVEN.

To DWIGHT FRYE, and all the rest of them...THANK YOU!!!
