THIS WEEK'S #MOMENTSOFTERRORMONDAY!
comes from Amicus films, 'THE SKULL' (1965) starring Peter Cushing,
Christopher Lee . .and here, Peter Woodthrope, who some of you may
recognise from his portrayal of Zoltan the hypnotist, Hammer films, 'The
Evil of Frankenstein' also with Peter Cushing from the same year. The
floating SKULL of the The Skull of the "Marquis de Sade" was a true
device of terror, and a concept devised by author and screenplay writer,
Robert Bloch. Bloch worked on a few Amicus films, The Skull probably being the best of the bunch.
PETER CUSHING plays the tormented Christopher MAITLAND . . .a surname
that is a death sentence in an Amicus film, as script writer and
producer has used the surname so many times in his films! This is great
clip. I LOVE the way that Woodthrope's ,Bert Travers falls through no
one, but TWO glass skylights...and if you listen carefully, it sounds as
he went through another too . .. . A TRUE Moment of TERROR! BEST print
on the market, would have to be the EUREKA BLU RAY. GReat visual quality
and sound...and a load of extra features too PLUS It's REGION ZERO!
ENJOY! - Marcus
