SILENT BUT DEADLY : ANOTHER CRYPT LOAD OF GIFS FOR WEDNESDAY!

ANOTHER CRYPT LOAD of animated silent, but deadly, GIFS! As requested by you our dear and faithful readers and followers!

ABOVE AND BELOW for ERIC FRANKLYN two great GIFS from THE AVENGERS tv series. Peter Cushing appeared as the fiendish Paul Beresford in 'RETURN OF THE CYBERNAUT' in 1967. The very cool Patrick Macnee starred as very reliable STEED, and Diana Rigg as his female equal and partner, Mrs Peel. Stuntman Terry Richards, filled the Cybernaut's boots and hat! And below, Mrs Peel swishes in a red leather chair from the iconic title sequence!

NEXT UP a spot of shooting, not for the grouse season... but for the sake of science! PLEASE don't try this at home. Peter Cushing with a slightly 60's tailored looking Baron Frankenstein and Thorley Walters as his assistant, Dr Hertz in Frankenstein Created Woman, the latest of the Baron's adventures back in 1967. Walters REALLY does jump at the bang! Hope this makes you happy, Bradley Moore?

THE QUESTION WAS, 'Do You Have Any Footage of Christopher Lee, Behind The Scenes... Putting His Teeth In?' One of the weirdest questions we have been asked, and knowing that Lee didn't wear dentures...though PC DID have a plate with of ONE FRONT TOOTH (You heard it HERE first, Folks!) I am taking a stab that, NORA THOMAS is referring to, Lee's false FANGS used in his Hammer Dracula features? Fingers crossed, but not a cross in sight, as Christopher Lee add those two things, that make all the difference, on the set of Dracula AD 1972. I hope this makes you smile too, Nora?

HERE IS ANOTHER ONE from Dracula AD 1972, that since it's first appearance a few years ago, gets asked for quite often. It's the press launch for the film, and both Cushing and Lee were in attendance... and having a good time, by the looks on their faces! MARION NOLAN, you asked, we provided! Hope this makes your day, as you said it would! 

HERE FOR OUR MATE, NICK DIGILIO AT WGN CHICAGO, what I am sure is HIS favorite GIF. Peter Cushing as Major Holly, strutting his funky moves on the dance floor of the local casba in Hammer films, SHE in 1965. They just don't make moves, like that anymore..... 

THIS WONDERFULLY SUBTLE prologue is one of  of two great openers, that set the scene and signal to the audience, where they will be going over the next 90 minutes in Cushing's 1969 'Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed'. Here is one fellow, following a night at his gentleman's club or on the tiles, won't be waking up with a headache!  For FRED LEWIS, I hope this is the scene you were hinting at? Cushing did have a bit of a time of it with HEADS. One on a bed post in Frankenstein Created Woman, One in a  refrigerator in Corruption, Drilling one in THIS film later, as well as this head ended up being kicked around the lab! So, when you said, 'The Cushing film With That Head Scene, and the BLOOD' I would put a bet on it...this has to be it!

FINALLY, for FRANK NEAL something a little calmer, Christopher Lee as Sir Henry Baskerville, being caught doing a little eves dropping, by Andre Morell's Dr Watson, in Hammer films, 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' (1959) starring Peter Cushing as Holmes. The look on Lee's face here, is priceless!

DONALD FEARNEY'S 'PETER CUSHING: THE MAN WHO CREATED FRANKENSTEIN : TRAILER PROMO

I am very excited to let you see an EXCLUSIVE 'first peep' short promo on all our PCAS internet platforms today, for Donald Fearney's next documentary.  A documentary that, both Fearney and editor Jim Groom are working on and is in production right now! If you have had the opportunity to see Donald's Amicus : Vault of Horror Definitive history documentary dvd, you'll know that this Cushing / Hammer / Frankenstein documentary has the potential to be something very special indeed! 

We can't wait for the complete documentary to be released. Donald has promised us updates and scoops on the progress of the production, and no doubt we will be launching a promotion competition too, when the time comes. Meanwhile, sit back and watch the trailer that John Hough, director of Twins of Evil recently watched and said, 'Tremendous! I want to see the whole thing now!!' ...And so do we John, sooo do we!

TRAILER: THE DOCUMENTARY THAT EVERY AMICUS FAN SHOULD OWN

Once in a while a book or documentary arrives that sets a new bench mark. This can easily be said about Donald Fearney's latest release, AMICUS : THE VAULT OF HORROR dvd. In recent years, we have seen two Amicus documentaries, both fell at the post, either through pretty poor production values or more than a little sparse in their materials. With a duration of 146 minutes, Fearney uses every minute of this time, to tell the full story of the only real competition to the prolific Hammer films, during their reign of terror, from the early 1960's until the late 70's. It would have been all too easy to have covered the main stream and more popular titles, the portmanteau films, the two Dr Who films and even the buzzingly awful 'The Deadly Bees' from 1966  or the cash strapped, 'The Terrornauts' (1967). But, Fearney really set himself a task in covering EVERY film. From 'The Birthday Party' until the parting if the ways with 'At The Earth's Core' in 1976.

Celebrating the legendary partnership of Milton Subotsky and Max J. Rosenberg and their production company, ‪#‎amicusproductions‬, who along with ‪#‎Hammerfilms‬ dominated the horror film genre between the 1960's and 1970's.

Prominent for producing many portmanteau films such as, ‪#‎drterrorshouseofhorrors‬ ‪#‎talesfromthecrypt‬ and ‪#‎frombeyondthegrave‬ , Subotsky and Rosenberg also produced two ‪#‎doctorwho‬ film, a couple of low budget sci-fi movies, the psychological thriller ‪#‎thepsychopath‬ and three movies based on the ‪#‎edgarriceburroughs‬ stories.

‪

#‎amicus‬ like #hammerfilms were appealing to top actors, writers, producers and directors who gave the films a seal of quality. The films also featured actors like ‪#‎petercushing‬ ‪#‎christopherlee‬ ‪#‎davidwarner‬ ‪#‎vincentprice‬ and many other established names and faces from the world of film and television. Narrated by ‪#‎royhudd‬ and featuring new interviews, rare footage and packed with rare production stills and publicity materials, this is a ‪#‎horrorfilm‬ enthusiast dream ticket! So, sit down, turn down the lights and prepare to witness, Amicus : Vault of Horrors.

DVD Running time : 146 minutes
