Description

A biography chronicling the tumultuous personal and professional life of horror icon Bela Lugosi.

Lugosi, the tragic life story of one of horror’s most iconic film stars, tells of a young Hungarian activist forced to flee his homeland after the failed Communist revolution in 1919.

After a brief stint as a stage actor in Germany, he started a new life in Hollywood and landed the unforgettable role of Count Dracula in what would become a series of classic feature films.

From that point forward, Lugosi’s stardom would be assured… but with international fame came setbacks and addictions that gradually whittled his reputation from icon to has-been.

Lugosi details the actor’s fall from grace, sad ending, and legacy.
