First a fan tweak to the MMM template by myself adding some glow effects to Chaney.

Nice!  :)

So truth be told I had to do some minor PhotoShop work to the Dracula template when I first got it. For some reason the image had some duplication going on in the center area. Here's the pic I was sent.



Note the duplicated area where the hair recedes or the duplicated stair to the right?? Here's my "fixed" version.



Recently however I noticed a similar problem with the Bride template. However in this case a portion of the image was now missing. Here's the template as is.



A bit tougher to spot than Dracula but notice the horizontal split through the Bride's hair or around the top area of the chair??? This was gonna prove to be a tricky fix especially since I would need an image that had that area of the picture unobscured. Using a scan I have of a Japanese Laserdisc cover I tried restoring the missing image portion to the best of my abilities. Here's what I got.



Not too bad considering what I had to work with. It was a tough fix.

I got the Lugosi hair thing, but don't know where any of the other stuff is. Maybe some arrows would help?

Don't know how you could even spot those at the original picture size!

Well technically I didn't. I was skimming through these pics on my Blu-ray player last week and it caught my attention. I didn't notice the Dracula issue until I tried using it to update my DVD cover.

Fine tuned it a smidge. Made an adjustment to the wall and a bit to the hair.

A little more fine tuning. Made the right edge a little less blurred.



Took a stab at updating my cover too. Couldn't 100% replicate my previous color scheme given I basically started from scratch but not too bad.

Something new I've made. Another chart of sorts but decided to use the templates themselves and ex out the ones I haven't found yet. 1991-1994 is in reference to the collections run, not the release of the films themselves.

Two updates.

Brightness/contrast adjustments to back cover.



New back cover template.

I own a bunch of those VHS tapes.
Listen to them. Children of the Night. What music they make!

Here's kinda an oddball find. The Black Cat (1934) template sans Karloff.

New update. Decided to use that image I posted to create a new template to improve the scale on this one. Pretty happy with what I have. Actually blended together pretty well. Made the title logo a smidge bigger too.



Here's my new template too. Slightly cropped but enough to give an idea of what the full template looks like.
