MAKING A MONSTER AND HIGHLIGHTS OF ONE OF LEE AND CUSHING GREATEST!

REQUESTED BY TERI BARTON at the FACEBOOK PCASUK FAN PAGE Requested Teri Barton today! 😃 TWO great pics from Peter Cushing's and Hammer films FIRST Frankenstein film, 'The Curse of Frankenstein' The colour one of PC is one of my favs 😌 For many years 'Curse' held the distinction of being the most profitable movie to be produced in England by a British studio. These are two press shots, the first Cushing posing for pics for colour press kits, and Lee with make up artist Phil Leakey on the final day of trying out the 'creature make up' Christopher Lee's monster make-up was almost literally done at the "last minute".

AFTER PREVIOUS attempts to design a monster make-up using a cast of Lee's head had failed, Make-up Artist Philip Leakey made the final design the day before shooting began, directly onto Lee's face, using primarily cotton and other household materials. Since he didn't use any latex or molds, the make-up had to be re-created from scratch every day. Those were the days..... 😉😮
