REMEMBERING CARRIE FISHER PLUS THE MOMENT TARKIN HIT A TONGUE-TWISTER!


TODAY, WE ARE REMEMBERING  on her birthday the lovely Carrie Fisher a woman, who was never dull, touched all she met, was a mountain of energy and fun and yet sadly, like many of us, carried another life, that sometimes worked against her, making even the sunniest of days, dark and exhausting. Many here of course will know her connection to Peter Cushing, through the movie, STAR WARS 

WITH CUSHING playing the evil TARKIN and Carrie the vulnerable PRINCESS LEIA Tarkin, together they played a key scene, with Peter cranking up his performance, as the cruel and most Machiavellian of characters in the Star Wars universe. Carrie later shared how difficult it had been for her to find the motivation, to hate Peter's Tarkin. She too,like many before her, had been charmed and moved, by his kindness and manner on set, it was quite a task to actually say those lines. Even though she left us a wonderful library of work on screen and on the page, it's a weird feeling, knowing, she isn't around to cheer us up and make us laugh in her interviews. As a teen she was my first crush, she dazzled and shone very brightly . . on screen and in life, a real Princess! 😊 We remember Carrie today . ..

GIFS: THE VAMPIRE GIRLS FROM HAMMER FILMS 1#


WE ARE RESTING #FRANKENSTEINFRIDAY for the next TWO WEEKS to bring you a series of GIFS of Vampires from Cushing films...TODAY it's the Cushing Hammer Vampires and we kick off with Hammer's Twins Of Evil (1972) with Madeleine Collinson as Frieda, taking a bite, before Cushing as Uncle Gustav gives her the fright and fight of her life!


DON'T FORGET TOMORROW IS #ONSETSATURDAY! RIGHT HERE AND AT OUR PCAS FACEBOOK FAN PAGE


ACTRESS JULIE EGE as Ms Vanessa Buren in Hammer films, 'The Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires' (1974) stands as Hammer films fastest transformation of vamp, from BIT to BITING! No sooner is she bitten, than... TARRAH..she is a vampire. Still, everything thing I suppose, whips along in that particular movie at a fair ol speed!


AND TOMORROW WE ARE WATCHING THIS CLASSIC! WATCHING TOMORROW! Here's an idea we started THREE WEEKS ago, that you might want to be a part of. Nothing new, but an experience worth sharing... the opportunity to watch a film, on the same day, as US and many others here! It doesn't matter what time, but be sure to share your thoughts and views on the film, we'll all watch tomorrow. TOMORROW WILL BE...Hammer films DRACULA /HORROR OF DRACULA (1958)..How fitting for HALLOWEEN....and you can pop in anytime, and share you thoughts....


AND HERE IS OUR LAST gif for this Friday, and it ties in quite nicely with tomorrow's Cushing movie we'll be sharing together, DRACULA / HORROR OF DRACULA. Maybe, Valerie Gaunt wasn't only Hammer's FIRST vampire, but the BEST too??  What do you think?

#MONSTERMONDAY: 'I AM ALWAYS OPEN' OFFERS YOU CAN'T REFUSE . . .


#MONSTERMONDAY: WE DO NOT KNOW HIS NAME, but we know his deeds and that is he one deadly tease! The Shop Proprietor of the Amicus film 'FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE' (1974) is perhaps one of the strangest roles that Peter Cushing ever played for Amicus films, not counting Dr Terror, of 'DR TERROR'S HOUSE OF HORRORS' (1965) They both were in the business of dealing in fate and death, one predicting it, the other from the confines of his shop called 'Temptations Limited, doing just that...tempting'. Dr Terror just foretold what was in store, however, this little chap, does try to lead astray, some poor weak, unfortunates who are already walking a very narrow and slippery path. So, what do YOU think? Is he a MONSTER for tempting the weak ? OR is he just a kindly ol man, just trying to eke out a living in a junk shop? YOU DECIDE!
