PETER CUSHING appeared in HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES for HAMMER FILMS in 1959,an ENTIRE television series of SHERLOCK HOLMES for the BBC from 1968 and the 1984 movie, THE MASKS OF DEATH.. . .BUT OTHER productions were planned. CAN YOU SOLVE THE TITLES?
HERE IS THIS WEEKS PCAS TUESDAY TOUGHIE! As the banner says, it ISN'T a connection with writer ROBERT BLOCH who did a great job of adapting and writing the scripts for a few of the AMICUS films that PETER CUSHING appeared in down the years. IT IS'NT the film THE SKULL which has an interesting BONE HEAD not unlike the preserved HEAD of MRS BATES. Amicus films THE SKULL also has some nasty STABBINGS with DAGGERS and KNIVES, but they are not the connection either. SOME OF YOU may guess it, some of you will be MILES out, though it's nothing to do with distance, but certainly if you use all your SENSES, you might get it! THere's no prizes for guessing, but do feel free to drop us a link a petercushingpcas@gmail.com if you think you can SEE IT! Otherwise, ANSWER NEXT WEEK !

THIS WEEK'S#MOMENTSOFTERRORMONDAY!
comes from Amicus films, 'THE SKULL' (1965) starring Peter Cushing,
Christopher Lee . .and here, Peter Woodthrope, who some of you may
recognise from his portrayal of Zoltan the hypnotist, Hammer films,
'The Evil of Frankenstein' also with Peter Cushing from the same year.
The floating SKULL of the The Skull of the "Marquis de Sade" was a true
device of terror, and a concept devised by author and screenplay writer,
Robert Bloch.
RARE STILLS GALLERY BEHIND THE SCENES from THE SKULL in The Amicus Films of Peter Cushing PART ONE Right HERE!
BLOCH WORKED on a few Amicus films, The
Skull probably being the best of the bunch. Peter Cushing plays the
tormented Christopher MAITLAND . . .a surname that is a death sentence
in an Amicus film, as script writer and producer has used the surname so
many times in his films! This is great clip. I LOVE the way that
Woodthrope's, Bert Travers falls through no one, but TWO glass
skylights...and if you listen carefully, it sounds as he went through
another too . .. . A TRUE Moment of TERROR! BEST print on the market,
would have to be the EUREKA BLU RAY. Great visual quality and
sound...and a load of extra features too PLUS It's REGION ZERO! ENJOY! -
