FROM 8MM HOME MOVIE WITH FLEXI DISC TO DVD AND BLU RAY: HAMMER'S DRACULA JOURNEY


For the folks who grumble about the quality of blu rays... lol Back in the 60's we went to extraordinary and unrealistic lengths to see just ten minutes of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, in colour and with sound..well sort of. The US release of 200ft of 8mm film of 'Dracula/Horror of Dracula' from Americom came complete with a floppy vinyl disc (..remember those?) ...and the idea was the start up your 8mm film projector and your 'record player' simultaneously...so the sound from your record and the film on your projector, would play together...in sync. HA! Never happened.


VHS? Wonderful. DVD? Incredible. Blu Ray? As good as it gets!


The journey of Hammer films 'Dracula' release for home viewing in the US and finally getting to the UK, with the UK title and a playable format...
