Bah, from that article it looks like the artwork that is shown on DVDEmpire is the actual DVD artwork. I hope they revise it, but they probably won't improve it much if they do. Looks like we're stuck with it.

OK, fine: I'll be the dissenter. Yes, the cover is mind-bogglingly odd, but I kind of like it.

I loved the criterion laserdisc cover, shame they can't/won't use that one.

I don't think is the worst cover art that I ever seen but is definitely one of the weirdest. I don't know what they were going with this.

I won't get rid of my Superbit version.

I love the font, that's for sure...the cover looks like an H.R. Giger painting.

I guess this means I'll be keeping the Superbit Edition, which is a shame considering that Dracula is a film that should ALWAYS be seen in DTS.

Wow, I really love that cover. It's bizarre, but the armor is so COOL looking. Glad I never got around to buying this before. Yay.
:)

If you have a 5.1 system, I suggest changing your mind quickly, running out, and getting the Superbit version. You will NEVER hear Dracula as sexual or terrifying like that EVER.

Weird-ass cover! Definitely not what I was expecting.

People around my area have been dumping there superbit's of Dracula what fools.
I will get this when It comes-out, man this is one of the greatest years for DvD's in long time.

I agree. I mean it's certainly bizarre but strangely enough I still like it.

I think the cover rocks!

That "dog" as some of the clueless nimrods on DVDactive call it is his suit of armor for the beginning. Very stylish. The shot of Dracula recoiling is when Harker's shaving mirror breaks.

Get the BD, it will have PCM. Should SMOKE the DTS track.

I love, love, love the cover art. It's classic and stylish, which is rare these days.

Love that cover! Hope the BD is the same.

Fantastic cover! :up:

The font is the same one used in the movie's opening credits.

The worst cover art ever is, in my opinion, the Jurassic Park DVD.

I still don't know why the heck they couldn't have just used the classic JP logo on black on that one.

As for this cover, Im kind of ambivalent. The cool armor and font vs. the terrible drac. If it had been Drac smiling and clasping his hands together with the font and the armor it might have been just flat out awesome but this pic just brings down the potential sweetness of the design to just average.

PCM is not a multi-channel format. The expression is sometimes used to mean uncompressed stereo signals (two streams of PCM). DTS is an uncompressed multi-channel format and, by far, the superior one.

Any word on whether this will be a director's cut? Or just deleted scenes?

ummm, huh...?!?!

There is a new 5.1 PCM track on the BD.

Product Information
Video:
Widescreen 1.85:1 Color

ENGLISH: PCM 5.1 ......

DTS is an "UNCOMPRESSED" format..? Regular DTS..?
Which the 1.5 mps or the 768 mps track...
Do you know what you're talking about?

Sorry, but you didn't mention 5.1 PCM, just PCM.

Even if the font is from the movie it's a bit weird. I think they should have used the logo they've been using for some time for the title and restricted the font to the rest of the text.

I've got to sat WTF to all the people complaining about the cover(especially all those crankypants at DVDActive). It IS really weird, but that's what makes it so freakin' awesome! Has there ever been a DVD cover that was anything like this? Would you prefer a bunch of giant heads?

Dracula, instead of looking inviting or dangerous as he usually does in so many other movies, is recoiling from the horrors of his own soul.

I think the movie is decent, but not one of my favorites.

But that cover art is so :jawdrop: I have to buy it.

It remeinds me of a Criterion cover which is a good thing.
