CHRISTOPHER LEE AND PETER CUSHING,
Britain’s premier masters of the macabre, bring the Horror of Dracula to
vivid, full-color death in this retelling of Bram Stoker’s spellbinding
vampire tale. Dracula (Lee), a centuries-old Transylvanian nobleman
damned to an eternal half-life, regularly finds new victims. He also
finds Dr. Van Helsing (Cushing), a scientist who becomes the Count’s
implacable foe in a deadly game of bat-and-mouse. This is the UK version
titled “DRACULA”, and featuring footage previously restored by the
British Film Institute and Hammer Films. Warner Archive’s new release
restores the original color palette of the film, using dye-transfer
Technicolor prints as reference, and has been meticulously cleaned of
film-related damage for a superior presentation.
