THE WEEKEND AT OUR FACEBOOK FAN PAGE!

HERE'S A SELECTION of posts Gifs and  images from our Peter Cushing Appreciation Society Facebook FAN PAGE.  Unfortunately, technical problems on FRIDAY and SATURDAY, made it impossible for me to post these on the themed days...so here's a catch up!
 


#FRANKENSTEINFRIDAY: The Moment a terrified Anna (Veronica Carlson) stabs Dr. Frederick Brandt (Freddie Jones) from Hammer's Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969)

#FRANKENSTEINFRIDAY: Dr. Frederick Brandt (Freddie Jones) having set his trap, watches as Baron Frankenstein (Peter Cushing) arrives from Hammer's Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969)

#FRANKENSTEINFRIDAY: The look of determination: Baron Frankenstein (Peter Cushing) begins surgery as Dr. Karl Holst (Simon Ward) watches on…. from Hammer 'Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed' (1969)

#HAMMERFILMSSATURDAY: PROBABLY THE MOST requested clip we get asked for! Count Dracula (Christopher Lee) disintegrates as Van Helsing (Peter Cushing) watches in the extended death scene from Hammers Dracula/Horror of Dracula (1958). This time it's been requested by, Hannah Oliver, Scotland!

#HAMMERFILMSSATURDAY: AND THIS ONE comes up very often too, as a photo request! A wonderful colourised  lobby card of Count Dracula (Christopher Lee) from Hammer's Dracula AD 1972. For Ewan Wilson, Cheddar, Somerset.

TRUE OR FALSE ON THAT THUMB : THE ANSWER!

OUR LAST CUSHING FACTOID: It sounded like the most improbable of all of our FACTOIDS so far, but yup you can spot that little pinky nail, if you look for it in all of Cushing's films. And as one or two of you have said already, you don't know how you missed it, but you'll certainly be looking for it!

#GIMMETHEGIFWEDNESDAY: TAP DANCING DECAPITATIONS AND ROAD RAGE!

IT IS WEDNESDAY, which means it's #GIMMETHEGIFWEDNESDAY, the impossibly long hashtag link to an invitation to you to request, Cushing clips, on a cycle without sound... presented as a clip of excellence, to be savored over and over. As usual here a just a sample of requests we have received today. If during the following seven days a  clip comes to you in a flash of inspiration, you know what to do! send your request to either our PCAS FACEBOOK FAN PAGE or email to petercushingpcas@gmail.com. Mark it 'GIF REQUEST' and you 'll see it here or at the facebook page next week!

FIRST OF THE BLOCKS comes D. DARREN's request for a clip of Peter doing his soft-shoe shuffle from one of his #MORECAMBEANDWISE guest appearances. What a pity, PC never got more opportunities to show off his tapping size twelves! -Below.

NEXT NICHOLAS JACOB's requested 'the head in a bag' from Cushing's single step into the early slasher scene, 'CORRUPTION' ( 1968) 'head in a bag' makes sound like some 'easy to cook, boil in a bag weight-watcher option'! It's not it's the preamble into what later becomes, 'HEAD IN A FRIDGE'..also nothing remotely connected to culinary skills, other than, it DID involve a KNIFE! - Below

JOANNA PETERSON asked, "Can you guys do one of those wistful stares? I always loved those." Happy to, Joanna. Here is Peter Cushing, doing just that, in the closing moments from, a real downer of an ending, from #frankensteincreatedwoman. Terence Fisher's third installment of the Cushing / Hammer films cycle. 

AND FINALLY, Lexi Conroy wrote to say, ' Let's get a little obscure...how about the bit from "It Might be You!" where he looks down out the window, to see people doing foolish things in traffic? Nice choice, Lexi! IT MIGHT BE YOU was a short that Peter Cushing made for the Crown Film Unit of the  Ministry of Information in 1946. Cushing's diction is as sharp as the scalpel he would skillfully wield in 'The Curse Of Frankenstein', some ten short years later in 1957. This short dealing with public safety and 'the rules of the highway' in UK post war traffic also starred Peter Madden, who would appear with Peter Cushing in 'Frankenstein Created Woman' and several other classic Hammer films. - Below

KEEP THOSE REQUEST -COMING!

FIRST GIF WEDNESDAY REQUESTS AND MORE CAKE FROM CHRISTOPHER LEE!

FOLLOWING ON from yesterdays post on Christopher Lee and his 'KNIFE AND BIRTHDAY CAKE GAG' this could be where it all started maybe. The year, 1958. The place, Universal Pictures headquarters. Both Cushing and Lee along with chairman of Hammer films, James Carreras and producer Anthony Hinds were invited to a pre-opening night luncheon with the reps and executives. It was Christopher Lee's birthday, the day after Peter Cushing's. At mid-night, the 'The Horror of Dracula' was screened...and the rest, as they say, is history!

#PeterCushing and #ChristopherLee: THE LAST MEETING: Lee and Cushing chat about going to NEW YORK and the DRACULA premier.

THE BRITS HAVE LANDED! Lee, Cushing, Carrreras, and Hinds on the tarmac of the airport having just arrived in New York to attend the Hammer Dracula premier. They would go on from here to meet Alfred (Al) Daff, and hear first hand from him and the Universal executives on how HORROR OF DRACULA had saved the company from bankruptcy...

GIFS REQUESTED BY: Niamh T from N. Ireland, M. Nash UK and S Martin.

#monstermonday ON A MISSION FROM GOD or Monster? Peter Cushing's Gustav Weil and his merry band of Vampire Hunters from Hammer's #twinsofevil, always gets a reaction, when we make post about them...
