Tl;Dr:
Bauhaus’ “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” was inspired by an old horror movie playing on television. A member of Bauhaus didn’t want the song to just be a tribute to Bela Lugosi. The band performed the tune in the horror film The Hunger which co-stars David Bowie.
Some classic rock songs were inspired by movies. For example, Bauhaus’ “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” was influenced by a viewing of a famous horror film. However, the tune was also supposed to have an “erotic” component.
David J said Bauhaus’ ‘Bela Lugosi’s Dead’ was inspired by the best film version of Dracula
Bela Lugosi was a horror movie star, most known for playing Count Dracula in the 1931 film Dracula. During a 2019 interview with Uncut, Bauhaus’ David J discussed the inspiration behind “Bela Lugosi’s Dead.”

Bauhaus’ “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” is one of the most influential classic rock songs ever. In addition, members of Bauhaus compared the track to a famous Led Zeppelin song. The comparison is a little off for one very specific reason.
Bauhaus said ‘Bela Lugosi’s Dead’ was like a 1980s version of 1 Led Zeppelin song
During a 2019 interview with Uncut, Bauhaus’ Peter Murphy compared “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” to one of the all-time classic rock songs. “‘Bela Lugosi’s Dead’ just happened to be a seminal song,” he said. “It was the ‘Stairway to Heaven’ of the 1980s.”
Fellow Bauhaus member Kevin Haskins agreed with this assessment. “It definitely has a timeless quality,” he opined. “On reflection, I marvel at what we did. We were just four young kids who wanted to make something unique, without really having much idea what we were doing. But that song came out of it.

Bauhaus, the pioneering British group whose fusion of post-punk and black couture kickstarted the goth-music movement, will reunite for the first time in more than a decade this year for an Los Angeles gig. The performance will take place at the Hollywood Palladium on November 3rd.
Over the years, frontman Peter Murphy has had a temperamental relationship with his bandmates — guitarist Daniel Ash, bassist David J and drummer Kevin Haskins (who all continued as Love and Rockets when Bauhaus dissolved the first time in 1985) — who first reunited in 1998 and then...

Featuring an ultimate 80’s punk and new-wave soundtrack, I Melt With You is released on DVD and to download by Momentum Pictures on 6th August 2012. This dark side of the hangover features a solid selection of songs to show including the one-two punch of “All Going Out Together” and “Blue Thunder” by Big Dipper and Galaxie 500 respectively. From there things get funkier with the classic “Maggot Brain” by Funkadelic, before The Jesus And Mary Chain arrive with the undeniable “Just Like Honey”. The staggering string of songs continue with “Caribou” by The Pixies, “Dog Eat Dog” by Adam And The Ants and the title track by Modern English.
The music featured in I Melt With You plays a big part in the film as the title reference to Modern English’s 1982 single suggests. The story of four male friends who stage a weekend reunion each year is pegged to the...

The first full week of May sweeps saw every procedural show upping its game. Big ideas were debated, and big-idea villains were trotted out as potential suspects. A casual cop-show fan was treated this week to a veritable parade of Nazis, Soviets, Jihadists, and Killer Clowns. There was a Brooklyn labor dispute on CSI:ny and a polygamy subplot on Ghost Whisperer. But it wasn't all fire and brimstone. Engagement rings figured prominently (albeit fatally) in Castle and CSI: Miami. That rakish Tony Dinozzo on NCIS fell in love with a girl he'd never met. There were no guilty husbands and only one guilty wife.

In one of my many foray’s to the used CD and Video Game store, I happened across a very rare gem of an import that I feel needs to be brought out for the Fangoria Musick crowd. Often times I will spend hours pouring over racks of CD’s that people bring in to sell or trade for something new and hip. Sometimes, the best gems are those dug up and found rather than the polished and commercial bits in cellophane wrappers. This particular gem was the very rare import that music journalists credit launching the “Gothic Rock Movement”, the first run 1979 release of Bauhaus famed maxi-single Bela Lugosi’S Dead.
The single consists of only three tracks; the ever present and iconic “Bela Lugosi’s Dead”, “Boys”, and a demo version of the band’s second Goth anthem “Dark Entries”. “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” is the high point center stage track.
