#THROWBACKTHURSDAY: REMEMBER the FIRST #PeterCushing #TARKIN figure? Well, he's come a long, long, away since then...Here is the NEW 1/6th scale model of Tarkin made by Hot Toys a company that specializes in 1/6th scale collectible figures from popular movies, video games, comics as well as world renowned celebrities! Not sure about when it's going to up for sale as he was just unveiled at the San Diego Comic Con today! GOOD JOB!
#THROWBACKTHURSDAY: ''Women
of my age are still attractive. Men of my age are not' ... so said,
this amazing icon of entertainment last year. And you know, Dame Enid
Diana Elizabeth Rigg, DBE...does have point! Many actors from her era
have either left us, or look like an unmade bed! We all know the
Cushing Connection here, Mrs Peel in the Brit 1960's tv series, The
Avengers, where PC played the very dashing Paul Beresford, a smooth
operator, pushing all the buttons as romantic interest for Rigg's all
action Mrs Peel and a finger on the button of death that commanded his
deadly Cybernaut!
DIANA RIGG'S CAREER
also features the splendid 'Theatre of Blood' with Vincent Price. She
also worked with Christopher Lee in the Avengers tv series.in 'Never,
Never Say Die' in 1967. Currently starring in the international hit tv
series, Game of Thrones, Rigg is in no hurry to retire, and I think like
Mrs Pell, she'll be 'socking it to us' for a while yet Happy Birthday
Diana Rigg, born today in 1938.

#SILENTBUTDEADLY:TO RESIST the 'THE DEAD DROP IN' pun, is easy. To try and explain WHAT exactly is going on here, with out giving anything away about the twisty-wobbly-plot of #HOUSEOFTHELONGSHADOWS is some-what harder! All I will say is, if you still haven't had the opportunity to watch the ONE FILM where #PeterCushing #ChristopherLee and #VincentPrice star TOGETHER for the first and ONLY time, you need to do so!
THE VERY GOOD NEWS IS if you feel your delicate disposition would collapse under the strain and terror of actually watching 'House of the Long Shadows' ..have no fear! Paper Dragon Productions have just this week launched the PAPERBACK RELEASE of the Michael Armstrong's #SCREENPLAY. Which you can order : HERE! . Hardback signed copies are also available for sale! Look out for our PCAS #COMPETITION soon, where you can #WIN your very OWN copy!
#SILENTBUTDEADLY:I SEEM TO BE getting a lot of interest in requested #GIFS featuring Donald Pleasence at the mo! We have posted several rare pics and bits over the past two weeks, especially from his role in 'BEYOND THE GRAVE'. Here he is playing ham Hollywood film star, Valentine De'ath and cutting off a LARGE SLICE, in demonstrating 'How to play a death screen when you are about to be murdered in an iron maiden!' Hmm, I think we can all see where that's going?
THE UNCANNY is Milton Subotsky's distant relative of product from his beloved Amicus films. Sadly the film gets next to little love, despite having some truly frightening moments. Cushing as ever plays it straight as link man, Wilbur Gray and his disabling fear of milk lapping felines. While Pleasence in his story 'Hollywood 1936', melts the celluloid with fiery spite, ego, and cruelty, it's divine to watch! Donald PLEASENCE worked along side Peter Cushing in several productions. Can you name them? and WHICH IS YOUR FAV? #GIF requested by Marsha Matthews UK
#SILENTBUTDEADLY: IN 1967 THE #HAMMERFILMS Frankenstein series took an interesting turn. After three adventures on film where the Baron rustle-up not the prettiest of creations from the charnel houses and graveyards, his next adventure and focus of attention was something very much easier on the eye. And if that wasn't enough, he accomplishes something that moves his work beyond the stitches, the unpredictable brains and behavior of his reactivated dead, because the Baron captures, THE SOUL!
AS USUAL, Cushing doesn't flinch at these lofty goings-on, and I feel the film 'Frankenstein Created Woman' owes much of it's cult status not just to super siren Susan Denberg, the created Woman of the title, but as ever to Peter Cushing, whose conviction and performance is the real life and SOUL of the film! #GIF requested by Marty Kaiser, US.
#SILENTBUTDEADLY: The world of #DOCTORWHO is experiencing a 'tear in the fan continuum'...! But #PETERCUSHING's Doctor Who say, 'It will all turn out fine'...Agreed? Peter Cushing as Dr Who in film, Dr Who and the Daleks' (1965) ...Requested by Big Red Dalek in the UK.

#TOOCOOLTUESDAY:
HERE IS A GREAT #VINTAGE STILL of #PeterCushing and #ChristopherLee... You can see
quite clearly the difference in height between them. No wonder Lee was
SO powerful as #Dracula. I also like the #coyness in Lee's face here...we
often forget the difference in their ages and experience. Lee was the
#BABY in the line up of many of their films together...that soon changed
with experience and age though. Still, you can imagine the power of his performance as #DRACULA... I mean, would you pick a #fight with a guy with sharp #teeth and who soooo tall?
