#SILENTBUTDEADLY: VAMPS FIRE SMOKE AND FIGHTS!


#SILENTBUTDEADLY: THE SCRIPT FOR HAMMER FILMS fifth Frankenstein film 'Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed' afforded the 'creation' an opportunity to share his feelings and emotions, in a way that no other 'monster/creation' had before in any of the previous Cushing / Frankenstein's'. How fortunate than, to have cast the excellent Freddie Jones as the unfortunate Professor Richter / Doctor Brandt, who was able to do that dialogue justice. For once the one who had gone under the Baron's knife, had intelligence and cunning, and no more than in the scene where this clipped GIF comes from.  


WHILE DESPERATELY dashing from room to room, looking for those all important notes, a hidden Brandt stops Frankenstein in his tracks, 'I fancy that I AM the spider and YOU are the fly, Frankenstein'. Lit by the flames of a flickering rag,  Brandt stands at the top of the staircase, holding glass lanterns full of  combustible oil. Brandt invites Frankenstein to a deadly game of cat and mouse. If he wants get out out of the house alive, he will have to out fox Brandt, and his intention of burning down the house, with them inside! Giving us one the all-times best endings to a Hammer film.

#SILENTBUTDEADLY: VINNIE GOES PUFF! Paul Toombes sits in total boredom, during the junket party for his Dr Death movies, unfortunately it also brings together people and duds from his past, that he would rather forget . . . Weird coincidence, when I met with Vincent Price in 1980 and asked him about Madhouse, he said, 'I really would rather not talk about that one...!' He smiled and that made me laugh! Personally, it's a film I never get bored of...!

REMEMBERING: HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIC MORECAMBE!!


TODAY MAY 14TH MARKS THE BIRTHDAY of Eric Morecambe, one half of the most successful comedy team in the UK. Still missed and loved by all. With Eric's passing back in 1984, it left a hole not only in the entertainment world but also in people's hearts. With his partner, Ernie...they provided one of tv's longest running gags, 'Peter Cushing and his Money!'... he did eventually get it , but not until the boys, had a lot of fun with it, stretching over many years and several programmes. God bless, Eric, Happy Birthday and thanks for all those precious memories and laughs. . . . 



FROM THE PEN OF ERNIE WISE, in another of his 'Play That Wrote'...comes Peter Cushing as King Arthur, in the Knights of the Round Table!. This sketch , also starring Ann Hamilton as Queen Guinevere and Constance Carling as the serving wench (!) was part of Peter Cushing's guest appearance in 'The Morecambe and Wise Show' broadcast on July 27th 1969.

SILENT BUT DEADLY : ANOTHER CRYPT LOAD OF GIFS FOR WEDNESDAY!


ANOTHER CRYPT LOAD of animated silent, but deadly, GIFS! As requested by you our dear and faithful readers and followers!


ABOVE AND BELOW for ERIC FRANKLYN two great GIFS from THE AVENGERS tv series. Peter Cushing appeared as the fiendish Paul Beresford in 'RETURN OF THE CYBERNAUT' in 1967. The very cool Patrick Macnee starred as very reliable STEED, and Diana Rigg as his female equal and partner, Mrs Peel. Stuntman Terry Richards, filled the Cybernaut's boots and hat! And below, Mrs Peel swishes in a red leather chair from the iconic title sequence!



NEXT UP a spot of shooting, not for the grouse season... but for the sake of science! PLEASE don't try this at home. Peter Cushing with a slightly 60's tailored looking Baron Frankenstein and Thorley Walters as his assistant, Dr Hertz in Frankenstein Created Woman, the latest of the Baron's adventures back in 1967. Walters REALLY does jump at the bang! Hope this makes you happy, Bradley Moore?


THE QUESTION WAS, 'Do You Have Any Footage of Christopher Lee, Behind The Scenes... Putting His Teeth In?' One of the weirdest questions we have been asked, and knowing that Lee didn't wear dentures...though PC DID have a plate with of ONE FRONT TOOTH (You heard it HERE first, Folks!) I am taking a stab that, NORA THOMAS is referring to, Lee's false FANGS used in his Hammer Dracula features? Fingers crossed, but not a cross in sight, as Christopher Lee add those two things, that make all the difference, on the set of Dracula AD 1972. I hope this makes you smile too, Nora?


HERE IS ANOTHER ONE from Dracula AD 1972, that since it's first appearance a few years ago, gets asked for quite often. It's the press launch for the film, and both Cushing and Lee were in attendance... and having a good time, by the looks on their faces! MARION NOLAN, you asked, we provided! Hope this makes your day, as you said it would! 


HERE FOR OUR MATE, NICK DIGILIO AT WGN CHICAGO, what I am sure is HIS favorite GIF. Peter Cushing as Major Holly, strutting his funky moves on the dance floor of the local casba in Hammer films, SHE in 1965. They just don't make moves, like that anymore..... 


THIS WONDERFULLY SUBTLE prologue is one of  of two great openers, that set the scene and signal to the audience, where they will be going over the next 90 minutes in Cushing's 1969 'Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed'. Here is one fellow, following a night at his gentleman's club or on the tiles, won't be waking up with a headache!  For FRED LEWIS, I hope this is the scene you were hinting at? Cushing did have a bit of a time of it with HEADS. One on a bed post in Frankenstein Created Woman, One in a  refrigerator in Corruption, Drilling one in THIS film later, as well as this head ended up being kicked around the lab! So, when you said, 'The Cushing film With That Head Scene, and the BLOOD' I would put a bet on it...this has to be it!


FINALLY, for FRANK NEAL something a little calmer, Christopher Lee as Sir Henry Baskerville, being caught doing a little eves dropping, by Andre Morell's Dr Watson, in Hammer films, 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' (1959) starring Peter Cushing as Holmes. The look on Lee's face here, is priceless!

THE TELEGRAPH NEWSPAPER UK 16th December 2016: 

#STARWARS producer Kathleen Kennedy has confirmed that the Cushing estate was involved in the CGI appearance of Peter Cushing in the film  #ROGUEONE. She has revealed in an interview with The Telegraph that the technology was full of "small, subtle adjustments – constant conversation and scrutiny". But Cushing's family only saw the final result at the London premiere of the film.


"WE WERE RIGHT DOWN to the wire,” she said. "And it never came down to one thing. If we tweaked one aspect, it threw something else off."
