The BFI have also issued the new poster which I've placed on the photo page.
Needles to say I'm in the process of obtaining one.

The BFI have issued the trailer for the remastered version. It looks superb.

You lucky people over there in the UK to be able to see it redone on the big screen. Wish we could get it here. Maybe they will do the remastered version on DVD hope so.

**Isabel Alves** · 20th October 2007, 06:50 PM

For several reasons the fans that live in United Kingdom are fortunate, Kaitlin.

Mainly they are close to Mr. Lee!

I won't deny that I feel a tip of envy... but it is not a bad envy, don't want me badly, friends.

What excellent news, a double bill, Christopher lee and Peter Cushing on the big screen again! Thanks for the info, glad the Watershed in Bristol is showing it! I better book my ticket!

I would love to see it on the big screen, unfortunately, I highly doubt it will be running anywhere within a 12 hour drive from where I live, even if it runs on US screens.

[font=Times New Roman][size=3]Well, after paying my £6 I can truly say I was very impressed with the restored version, looked excellent and sounded superb. The cinema was completely sold out, although there was laughter, annoyingly at all the good moments. Still, it didn

I attended the Glasgow screening last night with my son and daughter whilst my wife stayed at home fending off the local trick or treating kids.
Fist of all seeing the poster in the foyer gave me chills . Then to my delight the cinema was almost sold out. There must have only been a handfull of seats left.
The print looked terrific, as if it was made yesterday. When it started and James Bernards theme burst out from the speakers the audience applauded ( very rare in Scottish cinemas )
I won't go into a review of the film as I would be here all day. Suffice to say that it's a true classic and has stood the test of time admirably.
Seeing it in a restored version brought home the enormous talents of the lighting operators and camera crew. The colours were richer than I've ever seen them. The sound was also much improved .
When it finished the audience again applauded and it was wonderful to hear so many admiring comments from old and young alike .
Quite simply, the best Halloween ever !

ps. The usher told me that it was the busiest screen by far and Cineworld has 12.

Hi Everyone, There is a bit of a 4 minute (plus) interview about the restored film on the BBC. They show some scenes from the film (

I don't know what part of the film the scenes are; as I haven't seen this film)

they also show the film location (that's really cool) and interview with Jimmy Sangster.

If you have the time and are interested here is the link:

Cheers,;)

That's a nice little clip. Thanks for posting Helen. It brings back memories seeing Bray again and also cool to see friend and Hammer author Wayne Kinsey on screen. The man's turning into a celeb.

**Joakim Lundberg** · 2nd November 2007, 01:58 AM

Watching that clip makes me very eager to visit Bray studios. Next year perharps.
