After Dracula, the guy couldn't get a break. Left to star in B-horror movies and Edgar Allen Poe adaptations, the former Hungarian heartthrob became a drug addict in his later years. Lugosi died on August 16, 1956 of a heart attack at the age of 73 and was buried in his Dracula cape. His final appearance on film, just a few minutes of footage, was incorporated into director Ed Wood's Plan 9, widely considered to be one of the worst films ever made.
