#GIMMETHEGIFWEDNESDAY: COCKTAIL STICKS VAN HELSING AND STOMPING MONSTERS!


#GIMMETHEGIF For Jim Morrow! Vincent Price solves that annoying problem of, what to do with that annoying cocktail stick after you dispensed with the tasty nibble from the end! Madhouse ( Amicus 1974)




#GIMMETHEGIF: Of all the bits of business and stunt work Peter carried out doing his career....THIS shot from Dracula AD 1972, is the only one that makes me huff! I would excuse it by saying, it was a rehearsal shot they used by mistake in the edit...but they USE that chair! Maybe, they had one chance at shooting it... knowing Hammer for it's tightness with money...they probably only had ONE stunt chair... it seems as though Peter kinda miss-timed that swinging it, before Lee appears... always looks wrong to me..what do you think??



#GIMMETHEGIF: For Jose Ranmone. Peter Cushing and Doug McClure form At The Earth's Core.... at the time of the production of this film at Shepperton studios, many of the large sound stages where fully occupied by the large sets from this film... two of the stages carried a huge screen for the back projection effect. It was probably the one and only time, a film produced by Amicus had it's OWN sets! Peter loved this film and playing his role of Abner Perry... speaking to co star Caroline Munro a short while ago, she said she remembered it being a very happy film to be part of and that Peter and McClure spent hours thinking up new bits of 'business' for their scenes together... looks a little dated now, but my children certainly love it!
