#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...
