Please join us in wishing SHANE BRIANT a very Happy Birthday Today!
Shane's Cushing connection is of course his role as the young Dr. Simon
Helder in Hammer film's, Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell (1974),
with Peter Cushing, Madleine Smith and Dave Prowse. Cushing's last
Frankenstein and director Terence Fishers last film, he also appeared in
several other Hammer films Straight On Til Morning, Demons Of The Mind,
and Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter.
Shane has been keeping busy recently
filming in Indonesia for the tv series 'Serangoon Road' and
'Gallipoli'... plus there are his books, for which he has won much
acclaim. He writes a good horror! Worth looking them up. Shane played one
of Cushing's more interesting assistants in Frankenstein and the
Monster from Hell... not afraid to get his hands bloody! and had some
very good scenes with Cushing...and I think, he helped the Frankenstein
series go out with a lot of dignity! Happy Birthday, Shane!
