Please that someone help me!!!! i am searching this movie for a long time. And one month ago i listened that the universal´s classic monster collection was ready in dvd for zone 2 (europe). But i discovered too that in this edition for europe they quitted the spsnish version of dracula that appears in the us edition. So please, if someone can help me about this, please do it!!!! I WANT TO SEE THAT MOVIE!!!!!!!
Could you settle for a VHS copy? I know it has been available in NTSC format and ALL European VCRs can play NTSC nowadays (unless your VCR is over 10 years old maybe). Other than that it looks as though a multi-region DVD player is the only answer.
As far as I know, the only way to get a PAL version of the Spanish Dracula is to purchase the PAL version of the Universal Monsters Legacy Collection box set, which includes all the Dracula, Frankenstein and Wolf Man movies (along with The Mummy, The Phantom Of The Opera, The Creature From The Black Lagoon and The Invisible Man, although these films do not come with their sequels). The stand-alone PAL releases of Dracula (both the version put out in 1999, and the recent release packaged with House of Dracula) DO NOT have the Spanish movie included, in spite of what David Skal says on the commentary. The box set is fairly expensive (although it's cheaper on-line than in the shops), but is definitely a worthwhile purchase.
Get yourself the new Dracula Legacy boxset. The set includes "Dracula", "Spanish Dracula", "Dracula's Daughter", "The Son of Dracula" and "The House of Dracula". Should be avalaible some place.
The box sets are named after the monster common to the films, not the films I think-- so the box set with the Creature films would be the Gill Man legacy collection, or whatever.
That's the way I understand it anyhow, I could be wrong.
Edit: Just found out I WAS wrong, it's called the Creature from the Black Lagoon Legacy Collection. But anyway...
the legacy box set is 46pounds http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002W11TU/qid=1145573924/sr=8-1/ref=pd_ka_1/202-1943507-4383029 add customs charges(unavoidable and amount up to 10 extra pounds per order)..quite a sum considering i've already got all the wolfman,frankenstein,mummy and creature from the black lagoon films i need and want. no redoubling,please. so..just the spanish dracula in region 2? no updates?
