FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY LIVE : #CHRISTOPHERLEE DOES #YOSEMITESAM AND #SYLVESTERTHE CAT!

OVER AT the PCASuk Facebook Fan Page, followers are enjoying, #ChristopherLee 'doing', #WarnerBros Cartoon characters, #YosemiteSam and #SylvestertheCat, two animated greats that he and #PeterCushing's loved, live on stage, in Comedy Impro night, back in 1981!

 

 

 

 

BOTH LEE and CUSHING were huge fans of Warner Bros cartoons and once during a stop-over in the US to promote #Hammerfilms Dracula, popped into a local cinema and watched a few of their fav cartoons, only to be asked to leave the cinema because their laughing,  was spoiling the screening for the rest of the audience....😅 ABOVE are two great clips fro the #PCASuk 'The Last Meeting' series, which demonstrate, how Peter could stop traffice with his very infectious, howling!

ON A SUNNY DAY LIKE TODAY WHITSTABLE 1992

 

IT'S HOT in the UK today! On a day like today, back in 1992, #PeterCushing stood and posed against the sea wall, at one of his favourite places, in his home town of #Whitstable #Kent : #CushingsView, while the photographer, Carlo Prangazio took this amazing photograph . .  

 

TODAY, Peter Cushing, sadly no longer with us, but his work and the 'Lover's Bench' donated by Peter ad Helen Cushing, what an amazing legacy he left, for us all to enjoy... on a sunny day, like today . .
