‘Dracula’ Comes to Blu-ray With New 4K Scan

The 1979 movie version of Dracula starring Frank Langella as the titular count and Sir Laurence Olivier is getting a proper treatment for its debut on Blu-ray via Scream Factory.

The first disc in this two-disc set will include the desaturated color timing version of the film. The second disc includes the original theatrical color timing from a new 4K scan of the original film elements.
