Part of the problem there is that the transfers they'd done for their 8 film dvd set were destroyed in the fire they had a couple years back. The ones showing on TCM nowadays are new and look a bit different than they did on the dvds. I doubt Universal is willing to spring for the cash needed to them correctly (let alone release them on bd). Which is completely sad and frustrating.
Here's a couple of screen caps from BRIDES OF DRACULA (similar though not exact) - from a recent TCM broadcast compared to dvd cap:

Not bad, but it's "off" -- not quite what they ought to be.
