THE LUCKY THIRTEEN! CAN YOU PICK YOUR FIVE ON THIS BIRTHDAY?

TODAY WE ARE MARKING THE BIRTHDAY of director TERENCE FISHER. He was a director who still, certainly needs no introduction to anyone who regularly visits this page. But when looking down the list of some of Cushing best Hammer films, it's Fisher's name that is usually attached to the finest. Fiher also believed that you should give audiences, opportunities to see beyond, what could be happening on the screen. His trade mark blend of fairy-tale, myth and sexuality, gave us some of Cushing's and Hammer films greatest hits. 'The Curse of Frankenstein', 'Dracula', 'The Mummy', 'The Gorgon', 'Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed'..... and many, many others. All absolute gems. 

HERE IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY, to try and pull from the list of THIRTEEN TITLES that Fisher made with Cushing, a 'must watch' FIVE. The idea of this task cmae from a personal experience during the holidays last Christmas, to treat myself to an indulgent  weekend, of movie watching. It wasn't easy, but it was very enjoyable! Over at the FACEBOOK PCASUK FAN PAGE visitors and friends have started compiling and posting their TOP FIVE. Please feel free to join them, and help us mark the Birthday, of probably Hammer films, most popular director . . .

GIF GALLERY NUMBER SIX : GORGON, SPACE 1999 AND A DANCING CUSHING

MOST DAYS visitors to our Peter Cushing Appreciation Society Facebook Fan Page are treated to a GIF or two. They can be source from any idea of Peter Cushing's career or life. It's a quick animated snap shot of a key point in a dramatic scene or even Peter mugging faces during a tv interview, and then, there's the best thing about GIFS...it repeats it! Over and Over and Over, in a never ending loop. Poor Peter was featured in a recent posted clip from THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN being lifted off the ground and then throttled by Christopher Lee as The Monster, with his feet dangling! Now, he is doom to spend the rest of eternity, on our post, going up and down, throttled, up and down throttled... it's no way to treat a Super Star...!

TURNED TO STONE: Peter Cushing and Prudence Hyman in Hammer films, The Gorgon (1964)

Peter Cushing as the mysterious RAAN in the 1976 episode 'The Missing Link' fromthe tv series 'Space 1999' 

Peter Cushing as Major Holly, strutts his stuff and cranks up the moves

at the kazbar in Hammer Films, 'She' (1965)

What the 1967'Night of the Big Heat' lacks in budget and 'monster reveal' it makes up for in spades with atmosphere and drama. Here Cushing as Dr Stone comes face to face, with '...whatever it is out there'! 

Dave Prowse as The Monster in Hammer films, 'Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell (1974) was hardly the best behaved creation, and not what you would call, a model pupil. Here Peter Cushing in his last appearance as Baron Frankenstein, tries to teach his creation, a lesson. Very soon, The Monster teaches THEM ALL a lesson they will never forget...
