VIDEO \u2013 4.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

There\u2019s no mention on the back cover or the Shout Factory website, but presumably this did receive some sort of restoration, either by SF or Universal. Either way, this really looks incredible in 1080p high-definition. The detail throughout is sharp and very well defined, the natural film grain has been retained and no noticeable bouts of artifacting, aliasing or even specs. Colors meanwhile shine through, particularly noticeable with Munster\u2019s green face which pops off the screen quite well.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

AUDIO \u2013 4.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The disc comes equipped with a standard but still effective DTS-HD Master Audio Mono track and for something that is a comedy, it\u2019s perfectly fine as dialogue comes through with good clarity as does the ambient\/side noises and score.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
