ANOTHER TRIP ON THE TRACK WITH THAT ONE WAY TICKET? ARE #FABULOUSFILMS GOING FULL STEAM AHEAD??


ANOTHER TRIP with the one way ticket?? This fabulous promo ad by Graham Humphries for #PeterCushing's 1965 #Amicusfilm 'Dr Terror's House of Horrors' which had a superb remastering by UK #Screenbound a few years ago, and in the US by #Olivefilms. #FabulousFilms has already re-released another remastered blu ray Cushing and Lee gem, with #VincentPrice and #JohnCarradine, in '#HouseoftheLongShadows' last month. Another opportunity and ticket, for anyone who missed the train and release last time around, a Fabulous Films release in a dvd and blu ray package, would be great for anyone who doesn't own this Cushing and #ChristopherLee classic... you think? - Marcus

'DRAWING WAS THE ONLY SUBJECT I WAS GOOD AT IN SCHOOL BUT . .' WHEN CUSHING WAS PRIME SUSPECT!


‘ONLY ONE incident about my early schooling  jogs my memory. No doubt because drawing was the only subject I was any good at, I became suspect number one for an example of graffiti discovered on a wall in the boys' WC. 
 




I WAS TAKEN by the Headmistress for a private view of this masterpiece, and in the confined space ot the pedestaled showroom, confronted with it, and wrongly accused as the perpetrator. I hotly denied the charge, not only was I innocent, but the anatomical member so graphically depicted by some budding Leonardo da Vinci meant nothing to me, nor did the descriptive text beneath it.
 



MY PLEA of not guilty was swept aside, and with an admonishing finger wagging under my nose, sentence passed upon me. Your pencil will be confiscated, and your parents informed of your disgraceful conduct.’

STUDIO CANAL ANNOUNCES NEW 4K REMASTERED RELEASE OF BOTH #PETERCUSHING #DRWHO FILMS FOR CINEMA RELEASE PLUS 4K BLU RAYS


NEWS: THIS UK SUMMER you’ll be able to enjoy #PeterCushing's #DrWho and the epic #Daleks movies on the big screen. . . .It's now nearly 60 years after they were first released in 1965 and 1966, Dr. Who and the Daleks and Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. will be back in cinemas ...Remastered and restored in full 4K! The films will be released theatrically in the UK from 10th July 2022.
 
ABOVE is the exciting new trailer for the films, showing off the restoration, which I hope will intrigue a new generation of fans to the films ...and of course Peter Cushing! The Cushing movies are to date the only big-screen outing for a Doctor Who adventure (barring a few screenings of the 50th anniversary special in 2013), and this release will give Whovians another chance to see them as they were originally intended. According to StudioCanal, both films will be released on 4K UHD Collector’s Editions, steel-books and digital platforms, with Dr. Who and the Daleks releasing first on 20th June followed by #Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. on the 18th July. Both releases are Regions A, B & C playable . . 
 

THE BLU RAY releases will include booklets with a brand new essay, a 32-page Titan mini-book, two new posters and behind-the-scenes features including audio commentaries from cast and Doctor Who experts (including #MarkGatiss, Rob Shearman, #KimNewman, #BernardCribbins and Gareth Owen) and new featurettes including The Dalek Legacy and Restoring Dr. Who in 4K among others. Hip WHO Ray! Yes? 😲😏 - Marcus
