#WATCHWITHCUSHING! We all know that vintage and original press and promotion materials for much of #PeterCushing's
1950's and 60's films are now worth a pretty penny. If they also hold
an autograph the value is even higher! Here in this clip at the FACEBOOK PCASUK FAN PAGE! are TWO superb examples.
Just for FUN . . BEFORE you watch this clip of these posters being sold,
I would like you to comment on the post and tell me how much YOU think both the
1958 '#Dracula' UK #cinema quad poster, in pretty good condition and the almost mint 1965
Amicus 'Dr Terror's House of Horrors' UK cinema poster, could
individually be worth? Write your figure in the comment section on the page BEFORE you watch this clip 😉No cheating 😏😊 I guess you can always state that the price of what something is #worth, is really . . how much someone is willing will pay? 💰💰😲But at FACEBOOK PCASUK FAN PAGE, in this clip . . they are prepared to pay A LOT! This clip is around four years old, so chances these #posters are worth even more today! Have fun, stay safe and look after each other- Marcus 😉
AN UPDATE ON THE KINO BLU RAY release of 'FLESH AND THE FIENDS' is that the things are still set for JULY 7th 2020 AND that this John Gilling directed, based on a true story 2K restoration will also be carrying some extras too!
'THE FLESH AND THE FIENDS'
Starring Peter Cushing, Donald Pleasence, June Laverick, Billie
Whitelaw, George Rose, Renee Houston and Dermot Walsh – Shot by Monty
Berman (Jack the Ripper, The Crawling Eye) – Music by Stanley Black
(War-Gods of the Deep, Valentino) – Co-written by Leon Griffiths (The
Grissom Gang, The Squeeze) – Co-written and Directed by John Gilling
(The Reptile, The Plague of the Zombies).
THIS RELEASE IS COMING AS A TWO DISC package, because not only do you get the 2k RESTORATION BLU RAY but there's also a FULL ALTERNATIVE CUT which also carries the USA title of 'The Fiendish Ghouls' and 'Mania'. You would be forgiven for thinking, that maybe Amicus films producer, MAX ROSENBERG, may have had a dabble and offered for free with one of his OTT titles at their press office too? Not so. . . .
OVER THE YEARS, there have been quite a few different cuts made available on the home cinema market. Right now, there is a DVD available from Image Entertainment who list their running duration for
the "uncut" original theatrical version at 94 minutes, but they also carry a slightly
extended, wait for it . . "Continental" version—produced only for European markets with more
permissive, boob and bottom nodding censors— running at 95 minutes which includes extra shots, short sequences
or alternative takes with more nudity. 'THE FLESH AND THE FIENDS' was released by Valiant in the USA using the titles 'MANIA' and 'PSYCHO KILLERS' . . . (Guess which box office smashing Hitchcock film was released also in 1960) . . . using the censored British theatrical cut, but it didn't stop there... FIVE years later in 1965 a re-release by Pacemaker Pictures under the title 'THE FIENDISH GHOULS' cut a whole 23 minutes from the film's runtime! Both the UK and the continental
cut of the film are included in the KINO BLU RAY RELEASE!
ALSO INCLUDED in thus release is an 'Audio Commentary by Film Historian Tim Lucas'. Disc Two also includes the 1960 theatrical TRAILER for 'THE FLESH AND THE FIENDS' I
am not sure how many 'units' of this film have been produced for sale,
but those smiling after awaiting a long while for this remastering and
would like to guarantee a copy of this gem to your library shelf, now
might be a good time to nail that order 😊- Marcus
