The Count Yorga Collection Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman December 2, 2022

In one of several interesting supplements Arrow has aggregated for their Count Yorga Collection release, commentator Tim Lucas makes the case that the first Count Yorga film if not the sequel might be considered a classic, at least within the annals of horror films, and if that may still be a debatable premise, Arrow is providing fans a chance to get "new, improved" versions of both films now that the older Twilight Time and Shout Factory Blu-ray releases have gone out of print and, in some cases, are fetching hard to believe amounts of moolah. As usual with Arrow releases, this is very handsomely packaged and comes with a glut of both on disc and non-disc supplements.

The Count Yorga Collection Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras 

Supplements included on each disc are detailed in the above linked reviews. However, this is another deluxe Limited Edition from Arrow that ups the ante substantially with some very nice looking packaging and non-disc swag. An evocative looking slipbox houses two keepcases with reversible inserts, as well as a perfect bound collector's booklet featuring a number of good essays and archival material. The keepcases themselves house double sided posters (for each film) as well as double sided postcard sized lobby card reproductions for each film (four for the first film and eight for the sequel). Additionally, the Count Yorga, Vampire keepcases also houses a neat mini reproduction of the original pressbook for the film.

The Count Yorga Collection Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

This Limited Edition should be welcome news to anyone who passed up the previous Blu-ray releases of either/both of the Count Yorga films, because for basically the same amount of money you're going to plunk down for even the first film in its now out of print version, you can get both films with excellent technical merits, appealing supplements and some nicely designed packaging and non-disc swag. Recommended.
