FRANKENSTEIN FRIDAY : RARE STUNT MAN JOCK EASTMAN CHRISTOPHER LEE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN STILL


#‎frankensteinfriday‬: Here's a fabulous way to start this weeks Frankenstein Friday, with a large scan of a very rare behind the scenes photograph from Hammer films 'The Curse of Frankenstein' (1957)... Here we are on the set of The Curse of Frankenstein at Hammer films, Bray Studios, with stuntman JOCK EASTMAN who stunt doubled for Christopher Lee (uncredited on this film) standing in the 'tank of acid', and being assisted by a female crew member. If you look carefully to the right of the foreground of the photograph,you can see a figure with glasses, their back to the camera... that's director Terence Fisher looking on.... Jock had just crashed through a skylight and into a tank of acid...bringing about the sad end to Cushing's Creation!
