A few weeks ago, someone on this forum (in the standard DVD area) asked that I contact Sony to recommend that they use the original poster artwork for their packaging.
I was told by our Sony contact that he would forward my request to the art department.
Well, I was disappointed to find two weeks later that Sony went with different artwork.
Now I find that the studio revised its artwork and used the original poster.
I'm so happy to learn that Sony took us up on our suggestion.
Quick, please get Sony on the horn and ask them to change the current travesty of a cover for Bram Stoker's Dracula back to the original poster art! Please!
I'll go on record as preferring the Wienerdog dog version here as well.
One thing that is "good" about that cover, and, yes, I realized we're getting off track here, is you can play the "What's Dracula Thinking" game. Is he thinking, "This cover is almost as ghastly an abomination as me"? Perhaps, "Curses! A new vampire weakness has been discovered. Keanu line readings!"
Regarding the "Bram Stoker's Dracula" artwork, you people just don't seem to get it. Obviously the cover represents Dracula looking in the mirror and seeing this hideous artwork reflected back at him. Now I know what you are thinking... "but vampires can't see their own reflections". 'Tis true, but Dracula is looking at the disc artwork, not his own reflection. heh.
