Count me in as someone very interested in the restoration of this audio.

Though the 1987 LD seems to be the most likely primary source to cull audio, it may be worthwhile to see how the audio is, on the original DiscoVision releases. Apparently, both Frankenstein and Bride were transferred from original nitrate prints; if anything, the video should make for an interesting preservation.

They’re available on eBay now:

I would definitely vote to reinstate the omitted dialogue, down the line. No reason I can see to leave the line censored.
