Straight away, if my last order is anything to go by

I was hoping that Powerhouse/Indicator would've announced Dracula today. So this probably means that Dracula has been pushed back to either December or maybe next year, 2021, or quite possibly 2022 with all this COVID fearmongering going on.

It could be quite a wait. Michael Brooke, over to you. Though I know you can't say much about future Indicator releases.

1979 version starring Langella

Dracula 1979. Made by Universal, but the main actor, Frank Langella, played Count Dracula very successfully on the stage before the film was made. Though the film takes elements from Stoker's novel and creates a rather romanticised vision of the Dracula tale. I do prefer Langella to Lee, somewhat controversial, but he's flipping great as Count Dracula. The film did have a Shout Factory release last year. Very good presentation with both colour and Badham's altered version.

Anyone else notice that the Fu set ends at spine #205 and the Noir set starts at #300?

I wonder why...?

I'm not sure I like Road Games enough to have a LE. It's been over 30 years since I last saw it. But Indicator LEs are so nice, just the thought of holding it makes me want it

Damn, hate those marketing guys...
