Notes:Extras are in 576i.
Both versions of the film included are under the original UK theatrical title of "Dracula". The Japanese reel included, despite containing censored footage & an alternate take, is missing the bloody staking footage which can be found in the 'Horror Of Dracula' prints and the new Blu-ray/DVD restorations. It looks almost identical to the scene as shown in BBFC censored theatrical prints. -

OVERALL: Draw
The UK release has the "World of Hammer" TV episode while the German release has exclusive additional commentaries, and the Warner Archive is barebones but has been regraded to match IB Technicolor prints which looked slightly warmer.
Differences between the versions can be found at Movie-Censorship.
