MANY ARE ALREADY hoping for maybe a full version of the 'LEGEND OF THE SEVEN GOLDEN VAMPIRES'  music soundtrack. An album was released by Hammer films of this, along with the story narrated by  #PETERCUSHING back in 197. Also a cleaned up print of the MILK MARKETING BOARD short feature, that was shot on location with the cast and crew in Hong Kong, would be a winner too. Fingers Crossed!

#MOMENTSOFTERROR #MONDAY! Back in the day, 1959 to be exact, Peter Cushing as #SherlockHolmes looms down from giant sized billboards in central London, promoting his first performance as Sherlock in Hammer films, only Holmes movie, 'The Hound of the Baskervilles'. Billboards were certainly impressive displays back in those days, as were the cinema posters!
 

TODAY MARKS WHAT would have been the birthday of actor GEOFFREY BAYLDON. He would have been 95 years old! Geoffrey passed in 2017 and PCAS posted quite an extensive obituary at the time.

Many films and tv credits go way back to Hammer films first Dracula with Peter Cushing, some of Amicus films finest like 'Asylum', 'Tales from the Crypt', 'The House that Dripped Blood', Hammer's 'Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed', 'The Risk' / 'Suspect with Cushing in 1969, his tv series 'Catweazle'. 
 
 
 
GEOFFREY appeared with Jon Pertwee in 'Worzel Gummidge as The Crowman from 1979 until 1981, the BBC's Dr Who in 79 and 'The Avengers tv series in the 60's. Geoffrey is still very much missed. A gentleman and such a Gentle Man 😉

  1. I have just finished watching Catweazle, after having just bought the boxset. It brought back so many childhood memories and was such a joy to watch. Geoffrey's portrayal of Catweazle was so well done.
