Early in 2012, Studio Canal UK will be releasing three classic Hammer Horror titles on Blu-ray. Disc details are slim at the moment, but The Reptile, The Plague of the Zombies, and Dracula: Prince of Darkness will be available on Blu-ray on on February 27th. While we have no news on upcoming Hammer Blu-ray titles being released in the US, most Blu-ray discs are region free, so fans should be able to import the Studio Canal releases when they become available.

If you missed out on our report back in September, additional footage from Dracula (1958) was recently discovered. Hammer plans to restore the footage and have it included in an upcoming release. We hope to have more details in the near future and you can read more about the discovery at: http://dailydead.com/lost-footage-recovered-from-hammers-dracula-1958/
