Mark of The Vampire (1935)

Directed by Tod Browning
By my estimation, one of only four times Bela Lugosi would play a vampire was in this very silly spooks-and-scares comedy.  It's a remake of a lost silent film called London After Midnight that starred Lon Chaney.  All around fairly entertaining.  Also I have to say, the bat prop they use in this movie is incredibly well done. It looks better than any of the ones used in the Dracula movies
