#VincentPrice YESTERDAY, over at the FACEBOOK PCASUK FAN PAGE I shared  a lovely interview with Vincent Price in 1986, rebroadcast in 1993. ..as ever, charming, entertaining and funny 😊 'Madhouse' and 'House of the Long Shadows' were Peter Cushing appeared with Vincent Price, I think are a joy to watch them together! I hope you enjoy THIS INTERVIEW too 😉

 

#THROWBACKTHURSDAY: THROW YOUR MIND BACK about three years ago..... and the rare photograph I posted you can see on the RIGHT. It's an image of writer Chris Knight from Cinefantastque 'behind the scenes' at Elstree Studios, during the making of 'Dracula AD 1972', with Christopher Lee. The photograph, an exposure on a contact sheet from photographer and good friend of Christopher Lee's, Peter Nicolson, wasn't actually titled or labelled. But it looked pretty obvious to me and several others, that this was taken, during the shooting of AD. Nicolson took several amazing behind the scenes shots during filming, some were used in a feature on AD in volume 2 number 2, of Cinefantastique . . an issue until recently, I have never seen before until just a few days ago. Some thought on the Facebook PCASUK Fan Page it was taken during the making of 'Taste the Blood of Dracula'... why not slip along to the page and tell us, what you think? - Marcus

TELLY LEE AND GOLF : ROBERT STEPHENS AND CHRISTOPHER LEE PLUS A FACEBOOK GROUP THAT SCORES A TEN!

#CHRISTOPHERLEESATURDAY! Here are some highlights from a show that appeared on BBC TV back in the 80's and 90's. Various celebs were invited to play a few rounds of Gold in a Celebrity Tournament . . .Lee was matched with his 'Horror Express' co-star Telly Savalas. ' Tee Splitting Shots and Swipes' were par for the day . . . and Telly was quite the player!

HOUSE-KEEPING I just want to make you aware of a SUPERB facebook group, that's sitting there waiting for you to knock it's door and join them. The Robert Stephens Appreciation Society is curated by Joanna. She produces quite superb visuals to accompany her enormously informative and entertaining posts. Having my account set to when she makes posts, I sitting here daily, chin on carpet, at the rare archive material she shares.

 

STEPHEN'S was a one off, an actor like no other really, with a fascinating off screen life to match. I think Christopher Lee must have felt blessed the day, he received the call from Billy Wilder, to join him and Stephens in making 'The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes'. Lee was VERY proud of his work in the film, and I believe one of the reasons, was Stephens ability to share on screen with him.... HERE is the link: Go visit this group, you wont be disappointed... and JOIN HERE!
