In 1958, Hammer Films unleashed Christopher Lee's terrifying blood-thirsty fangs on the world – his unforgettable and frightening performance redefined Dracula in popular culture and changed horror cinema forever.

Now, the long-lost director's cut of Dracula is resurrected this Halloween in its definitive form. The uncensored 4K restoration of one of the most influential horror films ever made, Dracula returns painstakingly restored from the best original archival materials sourced from around the world, featuring footage believed missing for more than six decades. Deemed too shocking for audiences at the time and previously seen only during the film's Japanese theatrical release in 1958, the recovered material has never been released before in full in the UK or US.

Restored by Hammer Films and Silver Salt Restoration in partnership with Warner Bros, Dracula is back to scare a whole new generation of film fans as director Terence Fisher intended. This is the most complete version UK and US audiences will have seen – it's the cut the censors tried to bury, blood, gore and all.
