#MONSTERMONDAY: PAUL BERESFORD AND HIS CYBERNAUGT REVENGE!


#MonsterMonday: What a REAL smoothy this character was. Cushing's Paul Beresford, was the brother of Clement Armstrong, (see 'The Cybernauts' episode 1966) played by Michael Gough, the creator of the Cybernauts. He blames Steed and Mrs. Peel for his brother's death at the cold hands of his own creation. Aided by Armstrong's assistant Benson, he abducts several scientists who are blackmailed into producing a new batch of Cybernauts. Whilst he is the perfect gentleman towards Mrs. Peel, his aim is to turn her and Steed into human robots. It's a firm fan favourite, Cushing is at the top of his game in this performance, Beresford is a clever and manipulative genius, but is he also a madman and this week's MONSTER? You decide!



HE'S GOT MRS PEEL UNDER HIS SPELL AND UNDER THE CONTROL OF HIS LITTLE BOX! WILL BERESFORD SUCCEED IN HIS EVIL PLAN??


PAUL BERESFORD, TO QUOTE ANOTHER FINE CUSHING
 CHARACTER, 'CHARMING, TO THE LAST...' WHAT A ROGUE!




SEEMS IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE MAYBE
IRONED OUT THOSE HI TECH BUGS, BEFORE THROWING THE SWITCH ON THIS KILLING MACHINE?

#THROWBACKTHURSDAY: INCENSE FOR THE DAMNED HIGHLIGHTS



#THROWBACKTHURSDAY: And so we come to pretty much the LAST in our series of 'Films That Cushing Probably Wished He Hadn't...' This one doesn't quite make the top of the pile, above Tendre Dracula and The Devil's Men...but it comes VERY close. If you think 'Bloodsuckers' aka aka 'Incense For The Damned' aka 'Doctors Wear Scarlet' aka 'The Pleasure Seekers'... has the look of TWO different films glued together at around half way through...you'd be right. It IS!




DIRECTOR ROBERT HARTFORD-DAVIS, disowned the film, and had his name taken off the credits. It is a mess. The film was credited to Michael Burrowes... another name use by Davis. As for plot, it is very hard to keep track, and some long additional scenes of 'orgies' are played by a completely different group of actors that were added to a 'continental' version of the film.



Although completed in 1969, Bloodsuckers did not get a general cinema release until 1971. Filming took place April-May 1969. Shooting took place in part in Greece and Cyprus. Here we present a short compilation of Peter Cushing scenes from the film... make of it what you will!


IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS that the last scene of the film, was shot later, when the production regrouped to wrap up what they could...but it's hard to think that when the money / budget ran out, with scenes still to film, that the money that was left, didn't run to hiring Peter's hair piece... but it's quite possible...
