BELA LUGOSI'S DEAD

Bela Lugosi's Dead" is a gothic rock song written by the band Bauhaus.
The song was the band's first single, released in August 1979, and is often considered to be the first gothic rock record released.
It did not enter the UK pop charts at that time.
The b-side features the song "Boys" and some versions also include an early demo recording of what would be their next single, "Dark Entries".
It was released on CD in 1988 and was compiled on the 1998 album, Crackle - The Best of Bauhaus. The original sleeve art was taken from a still of the film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.

Use in film and television

The song was featured in the 1983 Tony Scott cult vampire film The Hunger, with Bauhaus portraying a band in a nightclub, playing it during the opening credits and introduction. A 7" promotional record featuring an edited version of the song was released to theaters playing the movie.
It was also played throughout the movie Dead Man's Curve/The Curve, and featured in the French movie, Sombre. The song is played in the movie Good Luck Chuck as an introduction for when the Goth girl is on screen and it is on the soundtrack.
The song was used as the intro music for the late 1990s Saturday Night Live skit "Goth Talk", which had Chris Kattan and Molly Shannon as two goth students. This song was also in an episode in the fifth season of Smallville, the vampire/Halloween-themed "Thirst". The song was also in an episode of One Tree Hill.
The song was featured in an episode ("Midnight") of the science fiction/horror series Fringe which revolved around a vampire-esque creature.
Comedian and musician Bill Bailey parodied the song on his DVD Cosmic Jam as part of a medley in which he and his band, the Stan Ellis Experiment performed Cockney Rock style versions of popular songs - this particular segment of the medley included lyrical changes such as "E ad a girl's name".
The song was played almost in its entirety during the horror film The Collector during a scene in which the older daughter was attempting to have sex with her boyfriend before they were both viciously murdered.
The song was played in the opening scene of the Supernatural television series in season 6, episode 5, "Live Free or Twi-Hard". The episode is vampire-themed, poking particular fun at the Twilight movie series and its romanticism of vampires.
