More than any other actor in film history, Lugosi is the master of the macabre, the king of the vampires, and the cult hero of horror movies. And yet he was also a man who fought in wars and revolutions, who married five times, and who mastered stagecraft and film arts in Hungary, Germany, and the United States. He remained an enigma in Hollywood even as his career dwindled into the weird worlds of drug abuse and filmmaker Ed Wood. And Lugosi's fusion with the famed vampire became more permanent than ever when he was buried in his Dracula cape in 1956.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLugosi: Hollywood's Dracula\u003c\/i\u003e unravels the truth behind the legendary star by interweaving rare film footage from 1918-1956, home movies, and previously-unseen photographs with narration by Lugosi costar Robert Clarke and Lugosi fan Rue McClanahan.

Koch, and a host of Lugosi's film costars and personal friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe film has won awards and accolades at film festival and theatrical screenings across the globe.
