Indicator have announced a 2-BD set of John Badham's Dracula, presumably utilising the same two masters of the "desaturated" and original theatrical colour versions of the film that Shout! released in the USA. It's a film that I always wanted to like but I hate that Dracula is now a romantic lead and the talented cast all seem to be at their worst. I might still get this release though as I remember quite liking the garish colours that Badham ruined in his preferred desaturated home video release. What I would really like is a good featurette on John Williams' score which I adore even though I don't think it's appropriate for a horror movie.
