1930 : Dracula filming begins
Filming begins on the classic horror film Dracula, starring Bela Lugosi. Lugosi was born in Hungary, where he made a name for himself on stage and screen. In 1921, he emigrated to the United States and in 1927 scored a great stage success playing the title role in the play Dracula. The film version of Dracula was so successful that Lugosi was identified with the role for the rest of his life. He spent the next 20 years starring in horror films. When he died in 1956, Lugosi was buried with his Dracula cape.
