#TOOCOOLTUESDAY: What at first looks like a pretty cool behind scenes photograph of David Peel, Yvonne Monlaur and Peter Cushing on the set of #hammerfilms
'The Brides of Dracula'...on closer inspection reveals it's a very cool
shot of them rehearsing, and Cushing is wearing a comfy personal woolly
sweater!! He is wearing his Van Helsing costume, under the sweater!
TRIVIA: The Hammer films, BRAY STUDIOS lot was a notoriously cold unheated place to work. The manor house of Down Place, where most of the interiors for #THECURSEOFFRANKENSTEIN and #DRACULA #HORROROFDRACULA
were shot, were very cold in the winter months, the outer lot buildings
were unheated too. When Christopher Lee as Dracula stands talking to
Harker in the guest room, his breath can be clearly seen! When Lee
played the Creature in 'Curse of Frankenstein' his bandages, post the
huge water tank, were soaked with warm water, which cooled to freezing
water within minutes, and gulps of brandy were consumed to stop him
catching hypothermia!
