This DVD may not be anamorphic much less HD, but at least the colors are correct. This is the way I remember seeing the film back in the 1970s on TV. However, the 2012 "restored" DVD and Blu Ray have hyperactive greens and yellows in most scenes. Walls, candle-glow and even faces are often yellow-green, no matter what TV or projection system you use. It spoils what is otherwise a great movie. That is why I sold my Blu Ray and bought the old DVD version instead. I like it much better.

I really can't give a great rating due to the fact that one of the items (one I really wanted) did not work and had to return. The other item was a bonus.

I was in Public School the first time I watched Dracula with Bela Lugosi as the King of the Vampires. The next time I saw a Vampire Film that stayed with me, was years later when I saw the film with Christopher Lee. The entire film he was silent, not a word was spoken by this tall actor with the most piercing eyes I have ever seen. Gone were my feelings of Lugosi as the Vampire, Vlad Dracul. Christopher Lee was now the King of the Vampires, but he was to portray some of my other favorite creatures of the Night. His Mummy, and Frankenstein's Monster were also well played. Christopher Lee went on to play many other fictional characters. His Dracula is still my favorite portrayal.

Ahhhh, Christopher Lee...the ultimate Dracula of all time! Nobody does it better....not even Bela Lugosi, but that's my personal opinion. This 1966 Hammer film was the sequel to Horror of Dracula. Two couples traveling to the Carpathian Mountains get a warning from Father Sandor, the Abbot of Kleinberg, telling them not to proceed with their plans. Despite his advice, they proceed with their plan.....after all there wouldn't be a movie if they didn't! As usual, it seems to always get dark when the coachmen in Lee's movies refuse to go further and abandon their passengers to the night to fend for themselves. Just when their luck seems to have run out, a mysterious black coach appears and delivers them to the eerie castle where the guest are given plenty of hospitality. Of course, Dracula needs to be revived by blood after a particularly long, long sleep but one of the guest provides that nicely. Rather gorey here, for the 60's, with the blood letting from a slit throat. Barbara Shelly and Andrew Keir give a good show in this one since they are the only two to get away from the castle. All Lee's Dracula flicks are fun to watch and I never grow tired of seeing him play the Prince of Darkness, getting killed and being brought back to life somehow. Sure, maybe they seem hokey by today's standards, but nobody played Dracula better.Read full review
The finest of all Hammer Dracula films. Engaging and excellent from beginning to end. All taking place in Transylvania. Introduces Clove, Dracula's evil and devoted manservant, who is equally monstrous.
