VAN HELSING'S STRIPED SUIT ANOTHER TOUCH OF CUSHING CLASS : FIND EM AND BRING BACK MY GALS!

WE ALL KNOW HOW dapper #PeterCushing could be both on and off the screen... and his attention to detail when playing his roles involving props. Well he also had an eye for period dress, the cut of the cloth, the style and quality. From the early 1950's on, most of his clothes were bespoke suits, shirts, shoes and waist-coats, design by the very people who made the costumes for many of the films he appeared in. Spot the suit from 'The House That Dripped Blood' in 1971, in a multitude of tv and personal appearances.

I OFTEN GET QUESTION POSTS, queries about Peter's clothes from our friends and followers here, the Van Helsing over coat in Dracula (58), or his rusty brown corduroy jacket as seen in the #DrWho movies, are regular queries.

Mean here is the whole feature LINK:HERE! 

TODAY AT THE FACEBOOK PCAS FAN PAGE, we set a little ID photograph question for sharp eyed Cushing fans: 'WHO are these GALS??? The one on the LEFT, starred with Christopher Lee in a 70's shocker, and was very attractive in the role... the one on the RIGHT, worked on the big screen with #PeterCushing and even killed him off, starred in one of the best adaptions of a Sherlock Holmes story I have ever seen and in the past has had the power to terrify with the best of them!!!' Can you name these two Gals???  

PHOTOGRAPH REQUESTED BY TALLY PAUL at the Facebook PCASUK Fan Page: #PeterCushing as Van Helsing with #StephanieBeacham as grand-daughter, Jessica Van Helsing in #Hammerfilms 'Dracula AD 1972'. Hi res, colour transparency. It wasn't often that you ever saw a wobble, weakness or emotion with Cushing's Van Helsing character, but with his grand-daughter under the spell and control of #ChristopherLee's Dracula... this was a time, the vampire hunter, could loose the fight! 😏 Fabulous scene, I hope some of you caught it in the #TCM screening of this film last night? - Marcus
