Is it my imagination or does the pic of Monique Van Vooren look eirily similar to the Son'a in Star Trek: Insurrection? ie. stretched facial skin.

By the by, $19.99 M.S.R.P. for each DVD...half the original price of the non-anamorphic Criterion versions.

Anything about 3-D?

I wish they could include the trailers for these damn things. I wonder how hard it would be to track them down? I have a Something Weird video that has them on it. Hopefully Image won't fuck up the transfers like they did with Vampyros Lesbos. And they should get someone else to do the cover art designs. These suck. I wish I could've sold my Criterions for a pretty penny once I heard these were coming out, but I'm still skeptical.

Only FRANKENSTEIN was shot in 3-D; the DVD will be flat only. Rather silly since good quality field sequential 3-D versions are easily found. You'd think they'd want to stop all the bootlegging.

I have both and use to have the Criterions. These Images releases are way better, especially the Frankenstein when it comes to image quality. The old Criterion Frankenstein had poor source materials for some of the opening scenes. This has been fixed in the Image disc and it is mint throughout and of course its anamorphic to boot.

The Dracula is closer to a draw between the two. The Image disc seems to have more specs/dirt at times but it also has better detail plus its anamorphic.

Believe me, I am totally freakin happy that I sold my Criterions for a combined $120 on ebay (don't look at me, I started the auctions at $1 each). So I got these Image dvds for free with $90 to spare.

Based on the very favorable reactions to the new releases, I guess I'll sell my Criterions (and hopefully make some completist happy) and grab these new editions.
