‘Another amazing aspect of this transfer is the pristine quality of the source material. It's one thing to restore a film, but to remove every nick, mark, scratch, and blotch from an 87-year-old movie is nothing short of astounding. I honestly can't recall a motion picture of this vintage that's as clean and fluid. It's a privilege to see the fruits of all the labor that went into restoring Mystery of the Wax Museum, and this superior transfer makes one wish every classic film could receive the same attention.’ 

Colorist: Roundabout’s Gregg Garvin

‘Having only seen the film in the 1987 video master, my jaw dropped several times during the running of the new blu-ray from Warner Archive. People often seem confused when I talk of movies from the classic Hollywood era coming to high-definition blu-ray. But the truth is all this detail has always been there, locked in the film, which has quite a high resolution. It’s just now that our scanners give us the chance to unlock it all for our eyes at home. Every single person involved with this restoration should be applauded. This is truly a banner moment for movie buffs.’
