PETER CUSHING AND CHRISTOPHER LEE: NEW YORK HAMMER FILMS DRACULA. PREMIER OR WAS IT?
Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee signing
autographs at the premier of Hammer Films DRACULA /HORROR OF DRACULA in
New York on 25th May, 1958, the day before Peter's birthday on the 26th.
Hammer CEO James Carreras and producer Tony Hinds, also accompanied
them on the visit. Even though this has always been billed as the
'premier' there is evidence that the film had a unofficial 'world
premiere' on May 7th 1958 in Milwaukee.

'THE HOUSE OF THE LONG SHADOWS' NOW ON BLU RAY FOR THE FIRST TIME!
For
anyone recently watching the recent DVD release of 'HOUSE OF THE LONG
SHADOWS' thinking, I wish this was available on Blu Ray....Wish no more,
because it IS! Slipped out quietly this week. It's a release by KOCH
MEDIA. The disc is in English / German. The extras are nothing to write
home about, but you can add this 'bluey' to your Cushing Collection!
The American writer Kenneth Magee makes a bet with his publisher, to
write in a single night, a horror novel. The publisher counters and
sends Magee in an old country house where supposedly no one has lived
for decades. The Haunted 'House of the Long Shadows' proves to be a
collection of terrible events, as a hotbed of poison attacks, murder and
manslaughter. Who is the brutal killer who takes a bloody trail of
death through this house? Magee fears for his life, as already some
corpses block the way to the exit, and he feels that he will be next.
But suddenly, in the misty dawn, the ghostly nigh
t takes a completely unexpected outcome.
