REMEMBERING JON PERTWEE : A RARE COLOUR TRANSPARANCEY PLUS STUNNING RESIN CRYPT MODEL KIT PICS!


REQUESTED from Phil Randell
ANOTHER dip into the colour images from rare contract sheets of Christopher Lee and Veronica Carlson in 'Dracula Has Risen From The Grave', the last for while, this is a request, so here we go.... an interesting shot from the studio's publicity photographer, with the intention of trimming the pic later, to remove those lighting cables on the floor out of the shot. I think, this was between poses too, both seem to be listening to the photographer. . .



TODAY WE REMEMBER Jon Pertwee who we sadly lost on this day in May 1996. Pertwee became best known for spending 18 years (1959–1977) playing Chief petty officer Pertwee in the popular series The Navy Lark on BBC Radio. But achieved world wide recognition from playing the Third Doctor in Dr Who whom he played from 1970 to 1974.



AFTER DOCTOR WHO He had continued success in TV playing the title character in the television series Worzel Gummidge from 1979 to 1981 (reprising the role from 1987 to 1989). Judging by the response, to this post at the FACEBOOK PCASUK FAN PAGE it is wonderful to see, Pertwee's admirers and following is just as strong as ever. He is still very much, appreciated and remembered!  


DOES THIS 'THE MUMMY' kit figure grab you? I get sent quite a lot of photographs of figures and model kits, but this one is very good , I think. Resin Crypt's "Deadly Intruder" sculpted by Robert Price and.artist Nick DeAngelo has done an very good job painting and building the piece.


YOU SEE IT PRESENTED here, before the paint and after. The kit consists of 16 pieces and is 1/6th scale, which features include both figures of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing along with a highly detailed elaborate base including, globe, rifle and nameplate . . 


THIS IS ALL reproduced from the stunning action scene, that takes part in the Hammer film of 1959, The Mummy, directed by Terence Fisher...and make up by the amazing Roy Ashton! Over at the FACEBOOK PCASUK FAN PAGE, we have asked for YOUR opinion on the figure, and the feed-back has been MOST postive!

#MONSTERMONDAY: THE MUMMY 2017 VS THE MUMMY 1959

#MONSTERMONDAY: ...Ok I am playing devils advocate here, whole tomb of reasons why these films are different, but throw a dice here, and share your opinion. If you have had the chance to see the Tom Cruise The Mummy movie..and you have also seen the 1959 Cushing / Lee Hammer film too... which one do you prefer?

#FRANKENSTEINFRIDAY SNIFFING UP, SNUFFING OUT, SHUTTING UP AND A BIRTHDAY!


#FRANKENSTEINFRIDAY What a weirdly complicated man Frankenstein is... appreciating the delicate perfume of his button hole one moment...and snuffing out life the next! Peter Cushing as Baron Frankenstein 'The Revenge of Frankenstein' (Hammer Fisher 1958)


#‎Frankensteinfriday‬ Maybe the sharpest line of dialogue in any Hammer Frankenstein film. File this one under, 'Jaws drop /Verbal slapping!'


FINALLY PLEASE JOIN US,  in wishing DAVID WARNER a Very Happy Birthday Today! Warner's Cushing connection is the role of Edward Charlton (segment 1 "The Gate Crasher") in Amicus films 'From Beyond The Grave' in 1974. A great story, a fine performance...particularly enjoyed his play with Cushing in the Temptations Ltd store... but what a sticky end!
