The Bela Lugosi official site runs by his family. Bela Lugosi played Dracula which was probably most his famous character of all time. The interesting thing is, according to his son, that Lugosi himself was born in the western border of Transylvania (where is Dracula is from) in 1882. His son tells us of his father's amazing life.

A little trivia: Dracula means "son of the dragon".

A while back, I watched a documentary in the Discovery channel about the real Dracula. The real Dracula was a mass murderer who was a Romanian prince known as Vlad the Impaler, since his favorite method of killing was impaling people. His level of cruely was well beyond belief.
