HOT TOYS DOOKU MODEL AND THE TWO SIDES OF CHRISTOPHER LEE

TWO SIDES CHRISTOPHER LEE. Here are two very interesting photographs, I thought you would like to see and share here today maybe? One is a publicity still taken by the stills photographer during the making of Hammer films, 'Dracula Has Risen From The Grave' at Pinewood Studios, sometime between April 22nd 1968 and June 4th 1968. It's a rarely seen pic, on set of the roof tops, with nice peeps from the studio lighting! You know how I LOVE seeing the lamps and lighting in stills 😃 It's blazing RED for sure! The second is a mysterious and very different photograph of Lee by Tom How with artwork by Connie Jones and copyrighted to Constantina. What do you make of this? I guess everyone will have their own thoughts and take on the subject matter and the artwork . . and I would LOVE to hear it, so please JOIN US over at THE FACEBOOK PCAS FACEBOOK FAN PAGE! 😃 Please feel free to comment and share! 😉Marcus

ON SET FOR WHEN #DRACULA ROSE AND FELL AT #PINEWOODSTUDIOS : RARE FULL COLOUR PRINTS!

#THROWBACKTHURSDAY: Christopher Lee up in the roof top set of Dracula Has Risen From The Grave, at Pinewood studios. 'Grave' I have often thought was one of the few in the series that would have really been so much better with some Cushing Van Helsing in the plot! No?😊😌😊

THIS FILM WAS number THREE in the Lee Hammer Dracula series is often reported to be Hammer films most successful film? Over at the FACEBOOK PCAS FAN PAGE, I have asked if anyone can provide evidence as to why that would be thought so??? Feel free to give us your theories! 😉

ANOTHER ONE THAT IS rarely posted on facebook groups or Hammer films websites.. a full colour transparency from 'Dracula Has Risen from the Grave'. Lee in respose, the last we see of the Count before he is no more. Always thought it was a leap too far, from flesh to slime and ash in this death scene. Hammer and Les Bowie Special Effects team were always so good at the 'big pay off' visuals of Dracula coming back from the dead and dying sometimes the most gruesome, yet quite inventive death!

#MOMENTSOFTERROR MONDAYS! CAROL MARSH AS LUCY HOLMWOOD CAPTURED BY CUSHING'S POWERFUL PROF VAN HELSING!

TODAY'S #MOMENTOFTERROR clip, LINKS with a film and actress that is the title and person who is the subject matter of our #FEMMEFATALEFRIDAY! The ACTRESS CAROL MARSH and the film, Hammer film's 'DRACULA' from 1958.

IT'S A SCENE that most fans of the film appreciate, not only because of Cushing's VAN HELSING fighting off the evil of LUCY HOLMWOOD's vampire but also actresses Carol Marsh and a very young Janina Faye, presenting such horrible pathos and trauma  . . . a niece who truly wants to help and love her, DEAD AUNT!

CAROL MARSH, would have found this role another of many, that asked  for a certain ability. Ability that many had no idea about, what it meant to her as an actress or where the  ability came from . . . what that means, will be revealed in OUR PCAS #FEMMEFATAL FEATURE on CAROL MARSH . .

REMEMBERING DAVID PEEL : MAKING OF BRIDES GIFS AND MODEL KIT!

#MONSTERMONDAY: TODAY we remember actor DAVID PEEL who was born today 19th June 1920. There are few who have made such an impact as Peel. He only appeared in ONE film for Hammer films and I believe only appeared in one film with Peter Cushing. I have a memory of him turning up in a theatre production with Peter in the 1950's..but I'll look that up, in mo...

ONLY ONE ROLE, one film and yet, enter VAMPIRE HAMMER into google images, and he will appear in most of the pages. Despite the success long after The Brides of Dracula was made...audiences felt a little cheated that it was a DRACULA film, without Dracula!....I suspect that Peel wasn't impressed with either the film or the subject matter. 

AN UNHAPPY MAN, with troubles and issues. You probably know, he left the industry early on and went into antiques and real estate, but life for Peel was certainly difficult. We remember him today though, for that one Hammer film and the impressive performance as Baron Meinster, the boy vampire who certainly pushed the boundaries of vampire film!

#HAMMERFILMSATURDAY: HOW TO STAKE A VAMPIRE OR BY ANY OTHER MEANS!

#HAMMERFILMSATURDAY: Peter Cushing shares his thoughts on playing his Van Helsing for Hammer productions in five films and the character of Dracula . . .

AS HAMMER HAS shown us, it doesn't HAVE to be death by staking. If you haven't got the Vampire Hunter standard issue mallet and stake, you can always use.... sunlight, a shower tap, a spoke from a cartwheel, a bronze cross, hawthorn, a broken piece of wooden fencing, holy water, light through a stain-glass window, a spear, a spade, a pit full of wooden stakes or indeed a WINDMILL...etc....
