One of the most exciting announcements of Scream Factory's massive Blu-ray news at this year's San Diego Comic-Con was the Hammer horror film Dracula: Prince of Darkness, starring Christopher Lee as the iconic bloodsucker. If you've been extra excited for Scream Factory's Hammer horror addition to their Collector's Edition catalog, then you'll be pleased to know that the Blu-ray will be released just in time for the holidays, and we have a look at the new cover art by Mark Maddox.

Keep an eye out in November for the full list of special features that will be included on Scream Factory's new Dracula: Prince of Darkness Collector's Edition Blu-ray, and check out additional details and the new cover art below:

From Scream Factory: "We have some more info about another title we announced at Comic Con back in July. Hammer Films' classic vampire tale – starring the legendary Christopher Lee -- is planned for a Collector’s Edition Blu-ray release before the holidays! Some more detail as follows:

• Official street date is December 18th for U.S. and Canada territories (Region A)

• Release will come with a slipcover (guaranteed for three months after its original release date)

• The newly-commissioned artwork pictured comes to us from artist Mark Maddox. This art will be front-facing and the reverse side of the wrap will showcase the original theatrical poster art design.

• Extras are still underway and will be announced later in Nov. We are reconfirming today though that we have an all-new High-Def transfer in the works.

Once again National release date is planned for 12/18/18. However, if you pre-order now for early shipping directly from us @ https://www.shoutfactory.com/product/dracula-prince-of-darkness-collector-s-edition?product_id=6916 you will also receive an 18' x 24" rolled poster of the newly-commissioned art.
