#GETHECUSHIONSUNDAY! AMAZING behind the scenes footage of PETER CUSHING at Elstree studios, making Hammer films, 'THE VAMPIRE LOVERS' (1971)

#GETTHECUSHIONSUNDAY! Something a little different this week..a REAL fright! Here is the moment, we've uploaded it in slow mo . . . where poor Peter as Van Helsing, accidentally slips on his size twelves and lands almost face-down in the real camp-fire, on the set of Hammer films, 'Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires'. It's a 'stunt' that I am sure wasn't scripted or expected , and probably frightened director Roy Ward Baker and the insurance company to death! Typical Cushing, he would have given his consent for the shot to be used, to help the drama along!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TERENCE FISHER AND THE MASTER'S THOUGHTS ON FRANKENSTEIN

There can be few directors who worked for Hammer films, who did so much to develop that Hammer-in-house style. Terence Fisher, WAS Hammer. Along with Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and the players who helped under pin the rich vision of fairy-tale come Gothic nightmare style. Even when the 'monsters' were 'shaky' the script, with more holes than a Swiss cheese... the look, pace and world beautifully styled by Fisher, just sat so well.

FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL

In the last ten years of his life, Terence had not one but two accidents, 

both involving cars and I believe, in the same location!
