NEWS:
Scream Factory have announced they are putting out Hammer Films and Shaw Brothers THE LEGEND OF THE SEVEN GOLDEN VAMPIRES On Blu-ray starring Peter Cushing as Van
Helsing, with Julie Ede and Robin Stewart . . SCREAM RELEASED a press note today stating : Starting 2019 on a high note: THE LEGEND OF THE 7 GOLDEN VAMPIRES - a
highly-requested title from the Hammer Films catalog - kicks its way
onto Blu-ray April 9th! Extras are in progress and will be announced on a later date. The big
news to confirm today though is that we will be presenting two cuts of
the films -- Hammer's original uncut version and its edited US version
called The 7 Brothers Meet Dracula!'
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.
The PCASUK GEOFFREY BAYLDON OBITUARY FEATURE CLICK HERE!
HE WAS VERY MUCH ADMIRED, loved and respected actor and extremely popular with the army of fans and admirers of his work. 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 😉
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.
