On Valentines Day, 1931, Universal Pictures released the film Dracula - the first true horror movie. Its worldwide success catapulted the film's lead actor, Romanian-born Bela Lugosi, to overnight stardom. "Bela Lugosi: The Fallen Vampire" traces the life and career of this mysterious man whose name became synonymous with the evil, yet magnetically compelling Count Dracula. Using archival still and film clips as well as interviews with film historians, actors and Lugosi himself, the special chronicles the meteoric rise and then precipitous decline of a talented yet tragic man who forever changed the face of horror films.
Bela Lugosi returns from beyond to present this documentary that investigates the origins of erotic and pornographic cinema, with uncensored images of surviving films, the first erotic films, explicit sex filmed in clandestinity, where they came from and who watched. A curious and interesting work of collages that is very informative.
Actor Bela Lugosi discusses his career, his social life, and his feelings about his most famous role, Count Dracula.
