Fans of Christopher Lee’s incarnation as the Prince of Darkness rejoice - the classic Hammer chiller SCARS OF DRACULA makes its worldwide 4K UHD debut on November 24, with a superb brand new 4K restoration. The Collector’s Edition includes stunning new artwork by Johnny Dombrowski, two posters, a 64 page perfect bound booklet featuring new essays and the original press kit, and is packed with extras.
Christopher Lee returned to his most famous role - inspired by Bram Stoker’s classic gothic horror novel - for the fifth time in Roy Ward Baker’s (Quatermass and the Pit) SCARS OF DRACULA, the bloodiest entry in the entire series. The film also stars Dennis Waterman (The Sweeney), Jenny Hanley (The Flesh and Blood Show), and genre favourite Patrick Troughton (The Omen).
Starburst magazine says SCARS OF DRACULA “ranks as one of Hammer’s greatest ever” - and with the fantastic lead performance by Lee, lashings of blood and superb production values, it's not hard to see why.
SYNOPSIS: Resurrected after a bat dribbles fresh blood over his mouldering remains, Count Dracula (Christopher Lee) unleashes a new reign of terror. When Paul (Christopher Matthews) goes missing, his brother Simon (Dennis Waterman) and Simon’s girlfriend (Jenny Hanley) set off in search of him, inevitably leading them to the Prince of Darkness’ castle…
