Terence Fisher’s 1958 classic is fully restored in High Definition and available on Blu-ray and DVD for the first time. The release will contain two versions of the feature (seamlessly branched on the Blu-ray): The 2007 BFI restoration plus the 2012 Hammer restoration, which adds additional footage that has been unavailable for decades.

The additional footage comprises two of the scenes that were originally censored by the BBFC in 1958 that have now been restored to the film from the “Japanese reels”:

* Dracula’s seduction of Mina

* Dracula’s sunlight disintegration

These will be the most complete versions ever released and taken together fully deserving of the description ‘definitive’. Dracula has been unavailable on any UK home entertainment format for many years. This release will be at the correct aspect ratio of 1.66:1 which has never been available for home viewing. What’s more, the release comes with generous extras including four brand-new featurettes:

* “Dracula Reborn”. New 30 min. featurette about the film’s creation and history, featuring, among others: Jimmy Sangster, Kim Newman, Mark Gatiss, Jonathan Rigby and Janina Faye (Tania in the film).

* “Resurrecting Dracula”. New 20 min. featurette about the film’s restoration, from the BFI’s 2007 restoration through to the integration of “lost” footage, featuring interviews with key staff at the BFI, Molinare and Deluxe142. Also covers the February 2012 world premiere of Hammer’s interim restored version including “vox pop” interviews with fans after the event.

* “The Demon Lover: Christopher Frayling on Dracula”. New 30 min. featurette.

* “Censoring Dracula”. New 10 min. featurette on the original cuts to the film ordered by the British Board of Film Censors.
