#SILENTBUTDEADLY: IF CHRISTOPHER LEE IS in the cast of a movie, and he is going to die, you know, you are going to get value for your money! Lee died a thousand deaths in movies, and his death scenes total over 20 or more, ...a fact that wasn't lost on the late Sir Christopher himself...he devoted an entire chapter to the subject in his autobiography, 'Tall, Dark and Gruesome: Lord of Misrule'. I have intend over the years, to actually draw up a list of my favourite top ten Christopher Lee Deaths, but as yet, I can't settle on the titles, as there is SO MUCH to choose from! That wasn't a problem for Fang Girl and Fang Boy who sent us a message this week, and voted, Lee meeting his sticky end in Planet films, 'Night Of The Big Heat' (1966) their all time fav. Death by sucking! Next time you are in your local McDonald's treating yourself to one of their tasty THICK SHAKES, and you can't get the thing started, just call 011-666-SILICATE-SUCK-MY-SHAKE, and one will be around in a jiffy, and will get that sucker up the straw and pumping, in a jiffy!

YOU CAN SEND US YOUR REQUESTS FOR OUR WEEKLY GIF GALLERY BY EITHER MESSAGING US  AT OUR PETER CUSHING FACEBOOK FAN PAGE OR BY EMAILING YOUR REQUEST  BY EMAIL: PETERCUSHINGPCAS@GMAIL.COM

A DREADFUL RECOGNITION : PETER CUSHING as Prof Mayback Von Klaus in the New Avengers episode, 'The Eagle's Nest' (1976). Von Klaus was kidnapped and set to work resurrecting a deceased individual from the world's past. It is here that the identity of who he brought back from the dead, is revealed. A very good story, and perfect for the rebooting of The Avengers television series. That Cushing should be chosen to star in that first episode, is a nice touch. Cushing had played Paul Beresford in the 1967 'Return of the Cybernauts' episode, a popular, stand out story in the series. Mrs and Mr Peel of Doncaster, England (!!) Have asked for anything from the 'Eagle's Nest' episode. I thought, this was a would do the trick!

THE RESURRECTED: DIGGING UP THE DEAD is the stuff of nightmares, and so it is in Hammer films, 'Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell' (1974). The Baron's latest creation, goes on the rampage in the grounds of the asylum, where he is held captive, on escaping into the grounds, he goes in search of some answers, and hopes one of those answers is to be found in the asylum cemetery. 

WATCHING THIS film recently with friends, we touched on how the creature is shown in a light of great sympathy in his scenes. Much time is given to the exploring of the impact suffered by the resurrected character, who becomes the Baron's latest project. Dave Prowse has never got recognition for the role he played as the Creature in this film. It's one thing to try and emote pathos for such a pathetic creature, it's another trying to do some with a couple of pounds of latex rubber on your face an body. Many on watching can't get passed the somewhat clumsy arrangement of the make up and costume, and for them, that completely distracts and spoils the film. Personally, I forgave the short coming of the budget and make up years ago, and take much pleasure from the performances of Cushing, Shane Briant, Madeline Smith, Prowse and the assembled 'top draw' cameos, seen by many as the weakest in the series, in my humble, it ranks with the all-time best. Mr Robin and Terry Maggs, hold this opinion too, and requested this shot specifically....Yesterday was the anniversary of the LONDON OPENING of this film, May 2nd 1972, even though the film was made TWO YEARS PREVIOUSLY in 1974! Sadly, it didn't perform well. Do you think the years have been kinder to this film??

#TT : DRACULA'S PAIN IN THE BACK AND CUSHING IN BIOPIC

#‎THROWBACKTHURSDAY‬: PETER CUSHING as Captain Richard Pearson in 'John Paul Jones (1959) also in the cast.. Robert Stack in the title role, Marisa Pavan, Charles Coburn, Macdonald Carey, Jean-Pierre Aumont, David Farrar, Peter Cushing, Basil Sydney, Thomas Gomez and the director's daughter Mia Farrow in what was her film début. BETTE DAVIS also made a cameo appearance as Empress Catherine the Great.... superb publicity photograph, but I have yet to hear from anyone who has actually enjoyed this film...

#THROWBACKTHURSDAY: DRACULA (1958) Count Dracula (Christopher Lee) leaves with his bride after that spectacular face off with Jonathan Harker in the library. Lee often suffered from back problems, brought on by carrying female actresses in such scenes as this and in The Mummy. (1959) Lee more than once mentioned that 'ladies in faint' where quite heavy, as they had to just hang there and couldn't assist by holding onto his neck or arm..!

ONE MORE TIME : LEE AND CUSHING GUEST SPOT MONSTERMONDAY

#‎monstermonday‬ IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN, and boy don't those weeks fly by fast? This week our monster offering is a twosome, but with a twist! Both Lee and Cushing took up the offer of appearing in Hammer-film-fan Sammy Davis Jr's wacky way -out sequel to the film 'Salt and Pepper', entitled 'One More Time' in 1970...and thank goodness, it WAS just only ONE time 😊 I have never, as yet met one person who likes the film! Anyway, both Lee and Cushing get a very quick cameo as the Baron and the Count. We've posted that clip below. But for those of you who HAVE seen their cameos. What do you think it? Hit or Miss??

Stars of 'ONE MORE TIME Peter Lawford, Sammy Davis jr and director Jerry lewis...we'll be posting Cushing and Lee's clip next. I think judging by this high octane pic from behind the scenes, it was a film made with help from...the 'BBC'..( Big Bag of Chemicals!)
