#PETERCUSHING Moment of Terror Monday. School teachers have quite a hard job to do
these days, but had they been around back in the day, and worked in the
school where Gustav Weil's nieces attended, today would seem like
working in Disneyland! This weeks Moment of Terror clip, features one of
Peter Cushing best villains.
HE RARELY EVER PLAYED what would be
thought of a visual 'monster', fangs or face of fright, but characters
like his BARON FRANKENSTEIN were outstanding, and 'UNCLE' Gustav comes
very close to passing the Baron's line. Gustav doesn't kill to create,
far from it, he murders to SAVE! TWINS OF EVIL is one of Hammer films
better films of the 1970's. It ticks the box for so many who would have
seen it back in the day, moments of terror, vampires, a head male vamp,
the dreaded Hammer Karnstein's, Hammer's trick of providing eye candy
for the dirty mac brigade . . they are still with us... and executions!
By BURNING THEM!
THE PCAS 'TWINS OF EVIL' FEATURE AND GALLERY CAN BE FOUND RIGHT HERE!
LOTS TO LIKE about this films, if you have not seen it.
Beautiful cinematography, lighting, musical score, direction, 80% of
the performances are very good and Peter Cushing roaringly evil, on a
race and crusade to stamp out vampirism, where not even his family are
safe! In this clip Gustav provides what could have been the greatest
moment in a biology lesson. A bit off key for a music lesson though . .
#MOMENTSOFTERRORMONDAY!
After, 'You may fire, when ready!' and 'Attack the Daleks!' 'The Devil
has sent me, Twins of Evil!' is probably one of the most quoted Peter
Cushing lines of dialogue. And with good reason. Peter Cushing here
playing the tyrannical, Gustav Weil...see what they did there?...
squeezes every drop of fear out of that line. If you've seen Hammer
films 'Twins of Evil' (1971) you would have witness, one of the tightest
performances, after his turn as Baron Frankenstein in Hammer's 'Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed' (1969), Cushing ever committed to film.
TWINS OF EVIL was the first film that Cushing
appeared in, after traumatic passing of his wife, Helen. He spent just
three months away from work, the man who returned was a great deal
leaner, withdrawn and now sadly broken. What we see on the screen is
raw. Which makes the viewing of his playing of Weil, all the more sadder
and yet, compulsive . .
SPOILER! If there was ever a on the edge of your seat moment in a Hammer
film, featuring Peter Cushing, THIS would probably be it. Count
Karnstein and Gustav Weil go face to face, in the final moments of
Hammer films, 'Twins of Evil' (1971)

#MONSTERMONDAY, The age ol story of 'good twin, bad twin' worked very nicely in #hammerfilms 'Twins of Evil' and Cushing a rare opportunity to tackle a female 'monster' for a change. Yes, there had been plenty of female vampires, but the cunning 'deadly beauty' and the is she or isn't the evil twin, added another string to plot. Also Maria and Frieda, were the nieces of 'man of God on a mission' Gustav Weil played with much pathos by Cushing.
IT'S A SHAME that the Collinson twins didn't get more opportunities with Hammer, but like the character in the film, come the end...they got the CHOP!
#monstermondayON 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... This week, Gustav is open for debate. Was his mission
really the safety of his village and it's people or was he a merciless
monster driven by his own ends..whatever they may have been...?What do
you think... A Man on a mission from God or Monster??? You decide. . .
THIS YEAR, 2016 marks the 60th anniversary of PCAS, help us celebrate Peter Cushing
life and career, by sharing our post on any of our sites.
