FOR ANYONE WHO MAY HAVE MISSED OUR UPDATE:
Hammer Films have announced that they will be releasing a “definitive” version of Terence Fisher’s 1958 Gothic masterpiece DRACULA, which will have its World Premiere screening on Saturday 18th February at 3pm at the Flicker Club as part of the Vault festival in London.

Recently-discovered footage that was originally cut from the British version has been restored by Molinare’s DI and Restoration team (overseen by John Palmer, Head of Digital Film Services) to the BFI’s  2007 restoration version. The Japanese footage features an extended and particularly gruesome death scene for Dracula, as well as a moment considered too erotic by

  2. Hello Anon,
    I am certainly with you on Marcus's Hammer Story book. A very good book.
    I missed your article on Hammer's 40th. Do you have a copy I could see?
    Yes, Ingrid is still very much missed. Quite a lady.

    Your Brother did a cracking job at the Darkness screening, by the way!

    Good to hear from you!

    Marcus
