As part of Severin's mid-year sale, they're offering a number of new titles, including Paul Morrissey's Blood for Dracula, starring Udo Kier! The movie is getting an impressive 4K UHD upgrade and we have all the details:
At Midnight Eastern on June 25th (Thursday transitioning into Friday), Severin Films is launching their Mid-Year Sale, and as part of it they’re offering up the 4K UHD debut of Paul Morrissey’s cult classic BLOOD FOR DRACULA (aka ANDY WARHOL’S DRACULA) in a 3-disc set. The first disc is a UHD with the film in 4K with HDR. The second disc is a blu-ray with a 1080P presentation of the film, along with bonus features. The third disc is a newly mastered, extended version of the CD soundtrack
Immediately after completing FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN, writer/director Paul Morrissey and star Udo Kier created what remains sumptuously depraved Euroshocker, cunning political allegory and “wickedly funny horror that obliterates the line between art and bad taste” (Pop Culture Beast): Desperate for virgin blood, Count Dracula – Kier in the performance Flavorwire calls “one of cinema’s Top 5 best Draculas” – journeys to an Italian villa only to discover the family’s three young daughters are also coveted by the estate’s Marxist stud (Joe Dallesandro of Morrissey’s FLESH, TRASH and HEAT). Stefania Casini (SUSPIRIA) and BICYCLE THIEVES director Vittorio De Sica co-star – with an unforgettable cameo by Roman Polanski – in “one of the most unique vampire films in history” (Oh! The Horror), now scanned uncut in 4K from the original negative for the first time ever.
