How extremely rude that this is not available in the US:

Dracula Limited Collector's Edition

But hopefully one day...

(Although, if your Blu-ray player is region free, it is available at Amazon for $82.77...)

My experiences with Hammer Draculas were only from photos in FM Mags. They were cool as hell. But once I started seeing the films I didn't like them. I think it was because I grew up on the Universal films, B&W, etc. The Hammer films were so bombastic, titty and just too much of a shock for me I guess. Even as an adult my opinion hasn't changed. Great blood and guts tho if you're into that. As a kid I was totally into it, lol.

It looks like a beautiful set.

Two asides.

I will NEVER forget the staking of Carolyn Stoddard in HODS. The blood was such a shock. It may have been my first time seeing something like that. Especially in color.

I always thought Count Yorga looked goofy in photos. Was that a serious Dracula or a spoof?

Warner Archive Collection is putting out the same set in the US under the title Horror of Dracula. https://moviezyng.com/products/dracula-limited-collectors-edition

Thanks so much, KMR!    I did all sorts of searches yesterday, some even involving AI, and not once did that version come up. But then AI is often not all it's cracked up to be. In fact, more often than not in my experience I've seen it make all sorts of errors, including once saying that a film had been released at a time before it had even been shot. 

And as an aside, can you imagine what it would be like if the work print of NoDS ever surfaced? If we can believe Sam Hall, it was 165 minutes long. Though there are other reports that the version that was screened for production personal ran about 150 minutes (and supposedly it was that version that was trimmed down to the 129 minute version). But I'd be happy if we ever got a commercial release of the 129 minute version. Maybe one day...

If I heard Jim Pierson correctly at the DS 60th, it's likely that we'll see the restored NODS within the coming year. (And they're also preparing 4K versions of 1991 DS for MPI.) Exciting!
