Disc content

• Dracula workprint: A unique Hammer artefact, this rough, work-in-progress version of the film was assembled during post-production and is almost certainly the element that went back and forth between Hammer and the BBFC as they haggled over cuts. No other Hammer workprints are known to exist.
• Proving Them Wrong: Dame Harriet Walter, actor and Christopher Lee’s niece, in conversation with Lee’s biographer Jonathan Rigby, discussing their experiences of this complex man, his life and his ambitions.
• The Road to Dracula: Tony Dalton, Stephen Laws, Wayne Kinsey and Dick Klemensen examine Terence Fisher’s pre-1957 work and the path that led him to Castle Dracula.
• The Sound of Dracula: James Bernard’s biographer David Huckvale examines the composer, his influences, initial struggles and relationship with Hammer.
• Victim of His Imagination: A dramatised reading of Hammer’s previously unfilmed early-1970s script treatment about Dracula creator Bram Stoker, adapted by actor/writer James Swanton.
• Commentaries for each version of the film.
• New programmes on Terence Fisher as auteur.
• Interviews with Janina Faye and Paul Cole, the sole surviving actors from the film.
• Programmes exploring Bram Stoker, the female characters of Dracula, Dracula censorship, Syd Pearson model-maker and 8mm versions.
• Approximately fifteen hours of additional content, most of it brand-new to this release.
• A wealth of rare archival materials.
