****, I'm on the Dracula thread, how did that happen?

Let's hope it has an amazing transfer, as I heard that Curse of Frankenstein was a bit of a dissapointment.

I personally don't have a problem with it and have watched it a few times since release date

This is great news. And as for the cover,awesome!
At last we are going to get the film with the 'Dracula' title as this was the title on the BFI restoration.
The Warner dvd, apart from awful box art and wrong pictures on the back of the box, had screen ratio issues as the top of the picture was cropped off. When I saw the BFI print all was okay.

Not sure about this. I heard the transfer for the Curse of Frankenstein was very bad (and I like that film significantly more than Dracula 1958) which put me off from buying that, so what will it be like for this?

Hopefully a lot lot better. The Curse transfer was an old source supplied by Warner whereas this has been fully restored by the BFi recently and is supposed to look great onscreen so there's no reason why the BD should be worse. The inserts from the Japanese reels may not be as good but I doubt there'll be much that can be done about that ad we're probably lucky to have that footage at all.

The film needs no introduction here so I won't bother with that, but much like Lionsgate's recent release of The Curse Of Frankenstein, this release due out on the 18th March, will also be a 3 disc affair. I for one am very excited about this release, as I have been for all the recent Hammer sets, as long as it's called Dracula and not Horror of Dracula!

Ditto. Thought the colours on the curse blu popped, I thought it was a great release considering what they had to work with. The transfer seemed to get better as it went along. I look forward to the Dracula release.
