Among the stereo-photographic slides that
Peter Cushing's character shows to Veronica Carlson's Daphne Welles
Hunter, in 'The Ghoul' (Tyburn films, 1975) is a 'photo' of his character, Dr Lawrence and
his wife in the Himalaya's....The pic is in fact a 'doctored'
photograph, of Peter Cushing and his wife, Helen. The original
photograph was of Helen and Peter on holiday in Norfolk in the early
1950's.
Both Peter and Helen can be seen again in the film mounted in two silver frames, on a shelf next the
fireplace. The photographs and frames were personal possesions of peter Cushing's. This is the only film that the pic of Helen ever appeared in. The
photograph of Arthur Grimsdyke's wife, in Amicus films, 'Tales From The Crypt' is often mistaken for Helen, but
was a model. The photograph of Peter here was taken on holiday by his
one-time girlfriend Doreen Lawrence, who later became the wife of the British actor Jack
Hawkins.
