The Story Behind THE SKULL: 

After making a number of successful ‘Hammer Horrors’ in the early sixties, Director and Academy Award winning cinematographer Freddie Francis (Paranoiac, Tales From the Crypt, Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors) moved to the fledgling Amicus Productions and produced an incredible run of horror titles that would make them the only studio able to rival the ascendant Hammer Pictures during the peak years of British horror filmmaking. Of these films, the most chilling is The Skull.

Peter Cushing stars as Dr. Christopher Maitland, a writer and collector of occult items (with a preference for those with a somewhat macabre history), who is offered the chance to purchase a highly expensive and unusual item – the skull of the Marquis de Sade. Warned against obtaining the item by fellow collector (Christopher Lee in a rare non-villainous role), the skull’s influence draws Maitland in, madness and death soon follow…

Adapted from a short story by Robert Bloch (Psycho) and featuring a score by avant-garde composer Elisabeth Lutyens, The Skull is one of the most expertly crafted British horror movies of its era. Eureka Entertainment is proud to present The Skull in a special Dual Format edition.

THE CASE IS SOLVED : AND WE HAVE OUR WINNERS : SHOCK BASKERVILLE BLU RAY PRIZES

CONGRATULATIONS to our FIVE WINNERS! Last night we launched the second of our two 'The Hound of the Baskerviles' competitions in conjunction with Shock Video.. we asked you to spot a missing item in a publicity still from the 1959 #hammerfilm starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee... under the banner of a bit of fun, we told you a thief had stolen the item, and entitled our little competition caper, The Case of the Disappearing Gift of Africa and the Race Against Time...which in itself was a clue to the missing item, that you had to find within a time limit. It was tricky....

The FIVE WINNERS have each bagged themselves a copy of #hammerfilms 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' from Shock Video... the FIRST time available on blu ray....a smashing blu ray / dvd combo pack!

AND THE WINNERS ARE: JOHN JOHNSON, TATYANA DYBINA, SEAN CORRIGAN, KEN HILTON and FAY SAINSBURY. WELL DONE!

THE SOLUTION AND ANSWER:

There were many, many of you who spotted the missing item in the publicity photograph...though for some it was a little more tricky. Some though Christopher Lee's ring had vanished, a wrist watch (?) had moved. One or two answered that we had moved our logo at the bottom right of the pic!

But, what we were looking for, was a detail in Sir Henry's costume... that in fact, wasn't really part of Sir Henry's costume at all ! Christopher Lee, since he was a young man has worn a bracelet made of 'Elephant Hair' on his right wrist. It was a gift given to him while serving with the SAS in South Africa during World War Two.... ('Gift' and Africa'...the title to comp, see what we did there? ) You can spot it in many of his films, Dracula (1958), Rasputin (1966), The Devil Rides Out (1968) ... often it is hidden with costume cuffs and jackets, but it's always there, because according to Lee, he has never taken it off since the day he first tied it to his wrist....

So, there you go... Look out for news about a GREAT competition we have lined up for Halloween over the next few days...

PETER CUSHING FAN AT 83. GRANNY MO IS A SUPER GRAN!

POST FROM OUR FACEBOOK FAN PAGE: HERE

Do You Have A Granny Mo too?
IF there was a prize for PHOTO OF THE WEEK...this would win it! Bless.... You remember Simon Warwick? He won our 'So You Think You Know Dracula' competition, last week. And very pleased he was too! Well, you know how I always try and persuade winners to send us a pic from their phone of themselves with their prize goodies? 

Well, this PIC is what I received in an email a day or so ago.. This ISN'T Simon Warwick, this is Granny Maureen or Granny Mo, as she is affectionately know by the family. Simon's grandmother, is also a HUGE Cushing fan, and it was she, says Simon, that introduced him to all things Cushing, with regular PC and Hammer Film Fests on dvd and tv at Granny Mo's home at weekends. Simon is 18 and camera shy.... and he felt SHE should be in the pic, rather than him. Granny Mo is 83 and hates cameras too! BUT, they didn't want to seem ungrateful and let us down, they wanted to send in a pic.....and here we have it. So, thank you, Simon and thank you Granny Mo. The pic is perfect and I am glad your prizes got there safely Now, this got me thinking, how did you discover Peter Cushing? Did someone 'lead the way' like Simon's Granny Mo? Was it your Mum, Dad, a friend? Tell us your stories, we'd all love to read them!
