DIRECTOR PETER DUFFELL DIES AGED 95

VERY SAD to hear that director Peter Duffell has died. Duffell worked with Peter Cushing on amicus films, 'The House That Dripped Blood' (1971) it was a title Duffell hated, because there is no blood in the movie! 

In 2011, he published his entertaining autobiography, Playing Piano in a Brothel: Memoirs of a Film Director, in the preface of which Christopher Lee described him as “the most underrated director we have had in Britain for a very long time”.

Duffell proved that he was a dab hand at the horror genre, brilliantly using all the elements of the macabre – creepy sound, striking camera angles, a skillful buildup of tension, black humour and performances just the right side of ham by a cast that included Ingrid Pitt, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Denholm Elliott and Jon Pertwee. Peter Duffell was born 10th December 1922, he was 95.

WHEN SIGNINGS GO WRONG! IT'S NOT ME IT'S SIR IAN MCKELLEN PLUS THE EROTIC AND TERRIFYING!

#CHRISTOPHERLEESATURDAY! 'That's NOT me...It's Sir Ian McKellen!' I am sure this must have happened many time, but at this kerbside signing at a public event, Sir Christopher Lee keeps his composure, as his wife Gitte 'bristles'..as from within the anxious crowd of fans and autograph hunters, a hand thrusts out a glossy 10 x 8 photograph for Christopher's signature . . . . Let the ground open up and swallow me! I would have , died...

SUZAN FARMER 1942 - 2017

#CHRISTOPHERLEESATURDAY! : News is just coming through that that actress SUZAN FARMER has died. This is sad to hear. Farmer has special place in lots of Hammer films fans hearts, BBC Sci Fi lovers too... She appeared quite a few features with Christopher Lee..in Devil Ship Pirates with Christopher Lee and was outstanding in Dracula, Prince of Darkness . . . her shock reaction to seeing the count in the room, when she thought she was safe in the monastery...was memorable. 

A talented actress and certainly gifted . . with appearances in Blake's Seven, Dracula Prince of Darkness, UFO, The Persuaders, Rasputin, the Mad Monk . . . she has a not too shoddy a body of work. Do you have a favorite role of Suzan's??
