Yep I do find the VHS version pleasing. As I mentioned the tape I had digitized was viewed only once or twice so it came out a bit better than expected. Funny I didnt start noticing the audio differences until afterwards and was actually amazed how IMO the VHS sounded better than my DVD. The missing bits I pointed out in the second video have been missing since 2004. When Universal announced for its 100th anniversary that it would be doing a major restoration overhaul on many of its titles, including Dracula and Frankenstein, I was hoping this would finally be fixed. It was not to be. They again used the same flawed track thats been in use since 2004. Very sad. On the other hand, I give them a thumbs up for what they did visually with the film. I will say the BD is probably the best Frankenstein has ever looked.
