But twelve years after suffering a nervous breakdown, the washed-up horror legend (Price) agrees to do a TV-series based on his old screen creation, the monstrous  #Dr. Death. Soon the cast and crew of the series begin dying in ways similar to the deaths the characters suffered in the actor's old movies.

CHARACTER OPTIONS: IT'S PETER CUSHING'S DR WHO AND THE DALEKS FIGURES IN EVERYTHING . . BUT THE BOX!

NEWS: Well, it doesn't mention the Peter Cushing Dr Who movies of 1965 /66 on the box ...or indeed Peter Cushing, but apparently, this doesn't matter.. strange for a dedicated huge fan following, that usually only deals in canons and specifics? Anyway, here goes:
 

PRESS RELEASE FROM THE COMPANY, Character Options : Character Options have announced an exclusive new #Dalek set, featuring the Daleks from the 1965 First Doctor adventure, The Chase.
 

Al Dewar, #CharacterOptionsHead of Product Development, explains why these Daleks are a special collectible for Doctor Who fans: “Firstly it’s the final adventure for the last of the original #TARDIS companions, Ian and Barbara, but it also features the first and last appearance of a race of robotic creatures the #Mechanoids. Dalek aficionados will also know that it marks the appearance of some rather 'special guest' Dalek props that were seen in Episodes 3 and 5. At the time of filming the BBC were short of Dalek props having only three left. New Daleks were commissioned, but to fill the gap, they hired three Dalek props from the ‘#DoctorWho and The Daleks’ movie.” Er, that would be, 'DR WHO and the Daleks', then . . 😏
 

ABOVE: CALLUM MCKELVIE goes rummaging on Planet AARU in this PCASUK feature, complete with whole gallery of stills and images, for DALEK film #1 goodies! CLICK HERE! 
 

ABOVE: CALLUM MCKELVIE'S SECOND Peter Cushing Dr Who feature : CLICK HERE!
 

ABOVE: MORE ON PETER CUSHING and DR WHO, with CALLUM MCKELVIE's THIRD PCASUK feature with rare stills and gallery : HERE!
 
 
ABOVE: HUGE GALLERY of behind the scenes RARE PHOTOGRAPHS from BOTH Peter Cushing Dr Who films in this exclusive PCASUK Gallery! CLICK HERE!  


SO, THE 'JUNGLES OF MECHHANUS'  set  . . . . are two unaltered props glimpsed several times as part of the Dalek patrols pursuing the TARDIS crew through the Jungle, in the episode.  They are distinctively different, with light covers and skirt bases along with unique metallic colours, this set brings the fans and collectors a one-off unique TV Dalek #ActionFigure never produced before.
 
AH, RIGHT! Amazing! . . . great to see, Cushing's 'Dr Who' and the films, finally receive some connection and credit... no wait....😵😧😒😏

FEAR OLD SCHOOL : STUDIO CANAL BLU RAY : 'FEAR IN THE NIGHT' PETER CUSHING : JUDY GEESON

HERE IS ONE OF MANY #PETERCUSHING FILMS, that gets kinda forgotten these days . . despite being a 'Hammer' film with a very entertaining and capable cast. Why am I reviewing a Cushing blu ray, though still available, that was released a while ago? Well, it was only a few days ago, I took my blu ray copy off the shelf and realised, the seal had not been broken or the copy viewed... and maybe now, with an hour or two free, I should watch it! So, slipping the film disc into the player, fighting with my headphones, I spent the next 90 mins in a much enjoyed Cushing/ Hammer bliss!! Granted, it's a smaller role than usual for Cushing in a Hammer film, but goodness, does he 'do a wonderful job'! Frightening indeed!

'FEAR IN THE NIGHT' was the last, and one of the very best, of the suspense thrillers that Hammer produced alongside the better-known Gothic horrors. Plot twists maybe predictable for some, but back in 1980, when I first saw this film.. I didn't see em a'coming... and if you do, you can't help but enjoy, the results!  

NAME DROP WARNING! 😟😴 I met and interviewed both Judy Geeson and Ralph Bates in 1984 and of course mentioned this film... I asked of their memories of working with Peter. It was revealing and very touching. THIS and a full review with screen caps and a few rare press colour stills are part of a 'Marcus Rambling' PCASUK review and gallery post at the website this weekend. If I can find it, I might even include pics from the interviews, and blow off the dust to reveal my terrible 1980's wedge 'Spandau Ballet' hair cut, created by 'Maurice Hairdresser to the Stars' and fashioned with what looks like a blunt bread knife! 😨😁 So, lots to humour, inform and entertain, that may get you to order your own blu ray copy! Do you have your copy of the Studio Canal release? Have you seen the film and if so, would you have happily shot a certain cast member TWICE!? 😳😠😏- Keep safe everyone! - Marcus
