Press Releases and Film News / Hammer's Dracula coming back i...
Last post by chainsaw midget - Today at 04:24:34 PMApparently they've rediscovered the missing scenes from Hammer Horror's Dracula and are restoring them for a big screen re-release in October.

Over 3 minutes of cut footage from the original 1958 release has been recovered from a Warner Bros. storage facility near LAX.
• The footage was only ever screened during Horror of Dracula's original Japanese theatrical run – never released in the UK, US, or on any home entertainment format in any territory
• Gore confirms the restored cut is primarily about Dracula's fate: "The world will get to see the bits they weren't seeing, which is mostly to do with how Dracula dies at the end. All the crucial points that were axed are now back in."
• Also restored: an extended scene of Dracula descending on a woman before biting her, cut for being too sexual. As Gore describes it, "It's so sexual and they had to trim that because it just looked like it was nothing to do with vampires."

Cool documentary on the life and career of the legendary icon Joan Jett, from her humble beginnings with The Runaways to her success as a solo artist in the 80s and her influence on the "Riot Grrrl" movement of the 90s. Culminating in her induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Bad Reputation proves that JJ is still a badass after all these years.
