FRANKENSTEIN FRIDAY : RARE STUNT MAN JOCK EASTMAN CHRISTOPHER LEE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN STILL

#‎frankensteinfriday‬: Here's a fabulous way to start this weeks Frankenstein Friday, with a large scan of a very rare behind the scenes photograph from Hammer films 'The Curse of Frankenstein' (1957)... Here we are on the set of The Curse of Frankenstein at Hammer films, Bray Studios, with stuntman JOCK EASTMAN who stunt doubled for Christopher Lee (uncredited on this film) standing in the 'tank of acid', and being assisted by a female crew member. If you look carefully to the right of the foreground of the photograph,you can see a figure with glasses, their back to the camera... that's director Terence Fisher looking on.... Jock had just crashed through a skylight and into a tank of acid...bringing about the sad end to Cushing's Creation!

WARNER BROS RELEASE VOLUME ONE OF HAMMER FILMS CLASSICS ON BLU RAY

And so Warner Bros have released the details of their HAMMER HORROR CLASSICS VOLUME ONE blu ray release. FOUR hammer classics, TWO starring Peter Cushing the fantastic 'Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed' starring Veronica Carlson and Freddie Jones and 'The Mummy' starring both Cushing and the late Sir Christopher Lee. PLUS there's 'Taste The Blood of Dracula' with you know who as Dracula....AND 'Dracula Has Risen From the Grave'....again with Christopher Lee as Dracula supported by Veronica Carlson, Michael Ripper and Rupert Davies.

FOUR terrific titles... THREE available on blu ray for the very first time. The disc will be available on Region A/1 NTSC and will be officially released on October 6, 2015. They are available for PRE-ORDER from Amazon right now for $54.96 & FREE Shipping. It goes without saying...BUT I'll say it...for us guys in the UK and Europe, these discs will NOT play on our blu ray players...but as there is another Volume promised in the new year, NOW may be the time to invest in that REGION FREE blu ray player?

So, just want to say, A BIG Thank You Warner Bros! Needless to say...we will be offering some of these sets in the Fall/Autumn in two competitions ....and talking of competitions..LOOK OUT for our NEXT POST in about AN HOUR!
