The movie Ed Wood has Martin Landau playing an old Bela Lugosi toward the end of his life. A great portrayal that garnered Landau an Oscar for his performance. It's a great watch, especially for anyone that might be interested in seeing an old Lugosi after all the fame and fortune had deserted him.

I think Bela Lugosi was a real sport about this character. True, it did kind of limit his future roles, but he did use it to please his fans. He even took on the role again in an Abbot and Castello comedy movie, and he even requested to be buried in the same Dracula cape and coat he wore in the movie.
@TheDamianvain17

Sadly, he got screwed over a lot because of his lack of business skills and the fact he was an immigrant. A lot of parts went to many other folks who were American by birth. Plus, he was very poorly managed and tossed away. He took the Abbott and Costello role only because he was broke and losing everything. He eventually begged to do more Dracula work, but by the time more films were made, he was passed over for a younger generation. His full biography is quite sad.

According to one documentary that talks about classic horror, the subject of Bela and his role as Dracula came. He continued to play Dracula in live theatre productions and one of his costars of the theatre who was still alive at the time of the recording said that she remembers Lugosi lamenting over his career and said to her that “Dracula is like Hamlet to me.” That’s really sad but also very true.

Bela Lugosi was Dracula. Nobody else compares with him. Bela also could’ve been Frankenstein in 1931 but he couldn’t understand how he could shine as an actor underneath all of that make up that Frankenstein character had to wear. So Boris Karloff got the part. The rest is history. Bela Lugosi would end up playing the Frankenstein monster in the 1943 movie Frankenstein versus the Wolfman.

And in 2000, "Nosferatu" got a meta period comedy horror film called *"Shadow of The Vampire"* produced by Nicholas Cage's Saturn Films with Willem Dafoe as Max Schreck who IS a real vampire and John Malkovich as a cold-hearted version of German director F. W. Murnau.
