[versions] DRACULA (1958) a.k.a. HORROR OF DRACULA

[pipefan413]

Quick runthrough of re-grading the US title sequence in preparation for attempting to composite the UK title into it. Needs a lot of work, you can see for example that blowing it out as much as this has clipped some of the bright edges of text. But blowing it out like this doesn't just match the print better, it also helps mask some of the horrible amount of video noise from the low-bitrate source, which is mostly in the sky and becomes basically invisible after compressing the crap out of the highlights.

Inside the crypt is a lot closer to start with so that's only been fairly subtly changed here; it's mostly just a bit of green plus taming the blown-out red highlights causing that pinkish haze around the blood. That was partly helped by expanding the highlights, got a little bit more control that way.

EDIT: By the way, if you're wondering why I'm grading the external scene so warm, here's the LaserDisc (from a print scan)...

Anyway, here goes:
