There Are Such Things

Bela Lugosi was one of cinema's great 'Kings of Horror'.

In his native Hungary, he was a war veteran and an established classical stage actor.

When he arrived in Hollywood, he was chewed up and spat out by movie moguls.

Lugosi spent the rest of his troubled life fleeing his most famous creation, Count Dracula…

Darkly imaginative exploration of his life and career by Mark McDonnell and Steven McNicoll.
