MONDAY here at PCAS means one thing... #monstermonday,
our weekly spot where we celebrate the scary, sinister and down right
terrifying Monsters and all things that creep, that have been featured
in Peter Cushing's film and tv work.. TODAY here on the website and at our facebook page, we take a close look...not
TOO close, at those fanged kung fu frighteners from Peter Cushing's 'The
Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires'.
One of the great things about Cushing's 'THE LEGEND OF THE SEVEN GOLDEN VAMPIRES' is the 'double-monster' value. Not only do you get the Seven
Deadly Kung Fu Vampires but also, The Zombies!
At first sight, the
hoping bobbing skipping undead seem a very strange sight.. it's only
after you see them on mass, doing their odd bob...like all things
asian-horror, it starts to look more than a little slightly warped and
psycho-twisted. A great idea, an interesting angle on Vampires, Dracula
AND Kung Fu...and Peter Cushing as the all fighting, fearless, Van Helsing vampire hunter!
Here Hammer's Kung Fu Undead echo another famous 'zombie scene' from ten
years before in 'THE PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES'. Again, the dead are awake and
walking...this time in China and Van Helsing and Dracula are along for
the ride too!
