I'm very excited for Scream Factory's continued release of the Hammer catalog. Scars of Dracula had been out-of-print on DVD for ages and hasn't had a stateside Blu-ray release, but that's changing on September 10th. Here's a look at the official cover art and the list of bonus features:
"The legendary Christopher Lee (Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, The Lord of the Rings) is back as Dracula, bringing unspeakable horrors upon a local village that defies his evil reign. But when a young man and his luscious girlfriend unwittingly visit the Count's castle, they find themselves trapped in a face-to-face frenzy of bloodthirsty vixens, religious blasphemy and sadistic henchmen. The prince of darkness has returned like never before, but will his horrific mark remain forever? On September 10, 2019, SCREAM FACTORY™ is proud to present Hammer horror cult classic SCARS OF DRACULA on Blu-ray™. Directed with bloody bravado by Hammer veteran Roy Ward Baker (Quatermass And The Pit, Dr. Jekyll And Sister Hyde), this 1970 shocker stars Christopher Lee with Dennis Waterman (The Sweeney), Jenny Hanley (The Flesh and Blood Show, The Persuaders!), Christopher Matthews (Doctor Who, EastEnders), and Patrick Troughton (Doctor Who, The Omen). A must-have for movie collectors and horror enthusiasts, this definitive Blu-ray edition contains special bonus content and is now available for pre-order at ShoutFactory.com.
