Title: Dan Curtis' DRACULA on Blu-ray from MPI
Post by: KMR on February 25, 2014, 08:51:43 PM

According to a thread on Blu-ray.com, Dan Curtis' DRACULA will be arriving on Blu-ray on May 27, 2014:

The source in the first post is a listing in amazon.ca:

http://www.amazon.ca/Dan-Curtis-Dracula-Blu-ray/dp/B00IA1VPP0?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1393342355&sr=1-16&tag=bluraycom0c-20

But note that there is very little info about the release, and it's listed as an "import".  So far I haven't found anything at mpihomevideo.com.

There is a French Blu-ray available right now, and it looks like a US release is in the pipeline. The French release features a widescreen transfer of a European (Belgian?) theatrical print. I believe it is slightly bloodier than the TV version. The US release will likely use the same transfer.

Did you think to compare the running times for the French and US versions? Although, sometimes that doesn't really help because the listings don't always have the correct running times - especially if we're talking about Amazon.

Cool!  Thanks for the info on the soundtrack, Gothick!  I love the score to this film, and while the suite on the "Night Stalker etc." CD is nice to have, it just wasn't enough...
