#TUESDAYTREATS : VAMPIRE VINYL WAS A WINNER BEFORE VHS AND BLU RAYS!

SOMETHING NEW for Tuesday's ...since we have put our 'Tuesday Toughy' to sleep for a while. TREATS for TUESDAY! Do you own these and if so, do you play them... or do you have the cd's?? These were amazing when first released and the Dracula quadrophonic sound was quite a blast back then! A great shame the third album was never released ☹️😦 Over at the Facebook PCASUK FAN PAGE we have asked, do you know what the theme of that album was? It was narrated by #PeterCushing! 😊You can hear BOTH albums complete over at the PCASUK YouTube channel,  LINKS BELOW!

FIDELIS ET MORTEM? TUESDAY TOUGHY ANSWER AND RARE SIGNED DRACULA 1958 LINK!

ABOVE IS THE QUESTION  and ANSWER to last week's Cushing Tuesday Toughy! It seems as though either script writer Jimmy Sangster's or set designer, Bernard Robinson's LATIN was a bit lacking! We asked you where were the Latin words we posed, seen in a Peter Cushing film, AND what did they mean? Well, the latin is seen on the family crest, above the fireplace in Hammer films 1958 'DRACULA' and it looks as though didn't quite translate, in the way they probably wanted or intended. FIDELIS ET MORTEM translates as 'FAITH AND DEATH', where what they thought they were displaying was, 'FAITHFUL AND DEAD'. Oh dear! Utinam Non!

REMEMBERING: Anthony Nelson Keys, Born today November 13th 1911, sadly no longer with us. Worked as producer on many Hammer films and some of Peter Cushing's best work for the company. He started work at Hammer back in 1947, wrapping in 1969, with Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed, for which he also received a writer credit. A much loved character on and off the set, with ready smile and a joke. See how many photographs you can find without Nelson Keys laughing or kidding with the photographer..!
