It would be nice if the whole transfer was tweaked for the replacement discs, but my understanding is that on the DVD only the opening sequence will be changed, right? It's just the blu-ray that's...

Good news all around Nosferatu, thanks! Stephen Thrower's Fulci's book is a centerpiece of my collection, so it's nice to hear from him.

One question, though: Will the disc swap (if necessary)...
