HERE'S A FRIGHTENING AND VERY ACCURATE life size figure recreation by artist RUSS
LUKICH of Peter Cushing's vengeful character Arthur Grimsdyke from the
British 1972 horror film 'TALES FROM THE CRYPT'. Yesterday, over at the FACEBOOK PCASUK FAN PAGE I set the question 'was Peter Cushing's
Grimsdyke, Amicus films most frightening movie character creation?' And you've replied, shared and commented in style, with over 40 comments and opinions, 23 shares and almost 450 LIKES!
ONE THING IS QUITE CLEAR, there is still great affection for Peter's portrayal of poor ol Arthur, though many of you remember watching the film for the first time as a child or adolescent, and the memory of his 'rising and revenge', still fills you with nightmares! Grimsdyke has a firm position as one of Amicus films most popular frightening characters!
BACK IN FEBRUARY 2015, we reported on Comicbook.com covering AMC series, 'THE WALKING DEAD' tribute to Cushing's 'Grimsdyke': On
tonight's episode of AMC's 'Talking Dead', host Chris Hardwick and special
effects guru Greg Nicotero revealed that the walker pictured above and
at right was, in fact, an homage to the classic 1972 Amicus films 'Tales From the Crypt' ghoul known as Grimsdyke. Here's a interesting feature carried by UK newspaper 'The Guardian' on his art of making the Monsters and the Dead ..look great! HERE!
