This year marks the 25th anniversary of Bram Stoker's Dracula, Francis Ford Coppola's take on the classic vampire novel that showed the titular Count like never before (thanks to Gary Oldman's performance and Michèle Burke's bold makeup effects). Back in 2015, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment released a 4K restoration of the 1992 film, and to celebrate its quarter-century anniversary this year, they'll unleash the movie on 4K Ultra HD.

Coming out on October 3rd, the 4K Ultra HD release of Bram Stoker's Dracula will include the same special features that came with the 2015 Blu-ray, and for more information, we have the official press release with full details:
