IF THE UNCANNY, was to be seen as an AMICUS film how fitting that Peter Cushing leaves the productions of producer Milton Subotsky, in a similar fashion to how he entered! Back in 1965, in his first film for Amicus and Subotsky, Cushing played the portmanteau 'link' character Dr Shreck in 'Dr Terror's House of Horrors' and in 1977, he bows out as the link in his last multiple story Subotsky film, 'The Uncanny'. Cushing is noted as saying that come the mid 1970's, finding the right scripts and roles was difficult.
BUT HIS WILBUR GRAY in 'Uncanny' gave the opportunity also of role that played to one of his many strengths, a character in FEAR! The Baron in Hammer's first Frankenstein feature, had some of it's best scenes offering Cushing as a terrified Frankenstein, fighting for his life as he awaits the guillotine. in #Tigonfilms films 1973 'The Creeping Flesh' Cushing's Professor Emmanuel Hildern, is in constant fit of terror and fear for a good two thirds of the film. It's where Peter Cushing began on the small screen back in 1954, scaring the British public TWICE in one week, with a double repeat performance LIVE as Winston Smith in the BBC drama of George Orwell's '1984'. Also how ironic in the tv play's key moment of terror, the key is RATS, in The Uncanny, it's CATS! One thing for sure, whatever the danger, Monsters, supernatural or earthly creatures, when called for, Peter Cushing ALWAYS came up with the goods!
