I can vouch for the Derann DRACULA prints. I have one and it's a beauty. I never thought I'd say this but it's a match for any 16mm prints I've seen.

I agree with Michael, my Derann S8 print of Dracula is superb.

Much as I agree with regard to 'Dracula' - especially if a buyer can find one of the 'warmer' prints (very close to the original thatrical look of the film) as opposed to the relatively bluish ones, of which there are plenty around - I would say that in my opinion a really good print of 'The Mummy' just has the edge in terms of quality.

I bet the "like new" print of 'Dracula' from the above-mentioned seller goes for a high sum, considering that one with scratches offered not very long ago went for £156, if I remember rightly.

I'll second that Adrian,the reds on that print are almost 3D.
A truly beautiful film,that showcases Jack Asher's photography
and is a great advert for Eastmancolour,that could be better
than Technicolor in some cases.Poor ol' Chris Lee suffered making
that one,it might have been a good idea to have left the
bandages on,after all the accidents he had while filming!
