#MONSTERMONDAY! SLIMY SPIV AND BOUNDER! BROCKLEY: DOCTOR WHO DALEK INVASION WITH EXPLOSIVE GIFS!


#MONSTERMONDAY! BROCKLEY! Ok not a 'monster' by our usual standards, but certainly a bounder, spiv and opportunist! Phillip Madoc's playing of what is written as quite a small role, would have been no big deal in perhaps any other actors hands. But Madoc makes him a real slime ball and a character that many do actually remember from Daleks Invasion of Earth 2150 AD. He double crossed Cushing's Doctor and friends, to lead them right into the hands... er.. claws, sink-plunger (??) of the dreaded Daleks. 





AS USUAL, AT OUR PCAS FACEBOOK FAN PAGE WE ASKED YOU TO VOTE ON, IF BROCKLEY SHOULD BE THROWN IN OUR  #MONSTERMONADY DUNGEON. BELOW ARE SOME OF YOUR COMMENTS:

E.HOW: 'A great example of how genuinely creepy and unsettling British sci-fi can be. The (accurate) depiction of human nature, and the recognition that even in the face of the most implacable and inhuman of enemies, some will still always choose to collaborate to save their own skin, or feather their own nest'.

S.HARBY: 'Madoc's vocal delivery of every line is a delight. Just adds so much to the role. And there is that wonderful slow burn moment when he realises that it is never wise to make a deal with the Daleks...'

M.GOULD: 'His part was brief, but he was quite sinister. I felt no sorrow when The Daleks exterminated him!

CHRISTOPHER STEPHESON: 'Exterminate for sure! He was all self, self, self and driven by greed! The doctor sussed him out right from the start..'I was expecting it'



MIND YOU, BROCKLEY DID GET his come come-uppance, in one of the most impressive ..if not the only, HUGE explosion involving a garden shed! See, you don't have to have huge castles, cities, planets or space stations..a garden shed, can be surprisingly effective, when loaded with 600 pounds of dynamite! 😉 So... does BROCKLEY go into our #MONSTERMONDAY dungeon? PASS OR EXTERMINATE? YOU decide 😉 - Marcus

FRANKENSTEIN TRAPPED! #GETTHECUSHION SUNDAY CLIP



#Getthecushionitscushing...SUNDAY !: Baron Frankenstein in 'Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed' (1969) has been over the years, singled out by critics and fans alike as Cushing's most his most evil and vicious portrayal of the Baron. 'Destroyed' presents us with a black-mailing, murdering, lying and cruel twisted monster. And yet...and yet, come the climactic ending of the film, we are praying for his escape, and hoping he 'gets out of this one'!


ON SEEING THIS FILM for the first time in the early 70's, this scene really did have me on the edge of my seat. The panic in the score, the hopeless situation that Frankenstein finds himself trapped in, the fire, poor Freddie Jones, Veronica Carlson, and Simon ward ... Ward's escape, a missed opportunity in a sequel, if ever there was one... this scene has it all. Rates as NUMBER THREE in my all time fav Cushing Frankenstein scenes. Ok. You can come out from behind that cushion, when he music stops....!

BLAZES! IT'S FOUR FABULOUS FIERY FINALES ON BONFIRE NIGHT!


Blazes and heaven to murgatroyed! What's all this? Bonfire Night in the UK...that's what! The cats are hiding, the dogs are howling and the smell of eggy fireworks and sooty smoke will fill the air for days! Pretty much what it must have felt and smelt like on quite a few Peter Cushing films back in the day... Here are FOUR blazing finishes to FOUR Peter Cushing films. I am sure you'll have no problem naming them. BUT how many more explosive and flaming endings to PC's films can you think of? Answers later on the FACEBOOK FAN PAGE ... after I put out the cat...
