DVD wars: Image Vs. Criterian

After paying the price for the Criterian Collection version of BLOOD FOR DRACULA (which, like most Criterian titles, is usually about $10 or more higher than any other studio's release), I recently came across the new Image DVD reissue. Not only does it seem to offer all the extras from the Criterian DVD, but has a new transfer, as well as the added extras of screen tests and new audio reflections on the film by the director. Since Image is the one that distributes Criterian, I'm even more annoyed at paying more for less. (Criterian double dipped the 1946 French fantasy, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, offering a second--more deluxe--DVD version of it a few years back, as well.)

Thank you for this information. I have the Criterion disc; looks like I'll be getting the Image disc as well.

"Creterian"?

As in, "Only a cretin would pay their prices"?

I paid $8.00 (DVD was still sealed) counting shipping off of Ebay. buy your DVD's off Ebay or Half.com they're much cheaper.

Wow, thanks for this helpful post. I recently ordered the image version from amazon for 6.99 and was afraid I was missing out on something by not getting the big-shot, overinflated criterion version.
