David- very interesting on the grain overdo that you speak of, unfortunately I did not catch it. Probably was wispering something to the wife at that moment but I definately missed it. The print certainly was not perfect, just the best I have ever seen it. I paid close attention to the stone starewell in Dracs crypt for the darkened "cleaned up" area on the side of the steps where you can see it is slick with water (or gel) on the you tube restoration snippet, yet the print we saw did not seem to have the amount of reflective "gel" or wet look that the restoration was pushing. To me it looked a more normal grey color and was certainly NOT that dark, wet look of the you tube snippet. Like you said at the beginning of the thread, it may have been rushed out and did not get the full treatment. Again, I just hope it is not too overdone for my taste when the blu hits stores. I like film to look like film and I WANT to see strings holding up the bats. Jim Jim and Judy's Horror Models WWW.jimandjudyshorrormodels.com The Music WWW.earthmanout.com
