Paul Morrissey’s 1974 Film ‘Blood for Dracula’ Sinks Teeth into 4K Ultra HD Release from Severin Films
Also known as Andy Warhol’s Dracula, the 1974 horror movie Blood for Dracula is headed to 4K Ultra HD, with Severin Films announcing the surprise title on social media this afternoon.
Directed by Paul Morrissey, the film stars Udo Kier in the title role.
“The film involves Count Dracula (Udo Kier) arriving in Italy to feast upon the blood of virgins, only to find difficulty with this due to the lack of virgins present in Italy.”
Severin teases, “Our edition features a UHD with a new master of the film, scanned uncut in 4K from the original negative for the first time ever.”
Blood for Dracula will debut during Severin’s Mid Year Sale later this month, along with eight other brand new titles. Severin notes that the 4K Ultra HD release “debuts Saturday, June 26 at 11:59:59 PM EST and will ONLY be available for the remainder of the sale.”

After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.
Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.
Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.
Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.
Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.
Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”
What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
