#FRANKENSTEINFRIDAY: LEE ON LEARNING AND CUSHING THE HEART THROB


#FRANKENSTEINFRIDAY : CHRISTOPHER LEE on his time with Hammer films  and The Curse of Frankenstein, and what can be learned by just watching!


#‎frankensteinfriday‬ This a pretty neat shot from Cushing's 'The Evil of Frankenstein'... I guess there is more than one way for an actor to 'faint' or pass out..or as in this case, DROP out! But if you look at the framing and the position of the actor playing the guard here ...it's either Anthony Blackshaw or David Conville...even in his passing out, he frames himself beautifully, getting the most from his screen time...
Here's a great wrap for this week's #frankensteinfriday. This CUSHING TRIBUTE VIDEO was made a while ago and shared on our Peter Cushing Facebook Fan Page on New Year's Eve last year. It set hearts a flutter and the song by 'Girl In  A Coma, is pretty neat too!

TWENTY FOUR THOUSAND FRIENDS AND STILL CLIMBING!


WE'VE CLOCKED UP ANOTHER THOUSAND FRIENDS at our FACEBOOK FAN PAGE! Looking back at posts there from the last five to six weeks, I see, we've had over three thousand new friends and followers join us, in a very short period of time! Which has to be said, is a pretty neat achievement, WITHOUT any paid-for promotion, boosts and despite facebook's own unmanned and promoted community page, squashing our style and messing us around with their shenanigans. I truly do find it amazing that the popularity of Peter Cushing and his work is still as popular as ever...and to think he once closed his fan clubs back in the early 1980's...because he thought no one would be interested during his semi retirement!



SO,WHAT DOES THIS INCREASE MEAN TO YOU...? Well, with more of you commenting, daily looking in and making this fan page a truly interactive extension of our website, it certainly makes it easier for me to encourage distributors to support us and sponsor your competitions with great prizes, it opens the door in helping us get exposure for Peter work on radio internationally as we have seen in the last few weeks...and ultimately, it helps the keep the memory of the Peter Cushing alive...today and for the future! Please remember, sharing our posts here via G+,  and likes and shares at our facebook fan page REALLY DO make all the difference on facebook, on EVERY post. it's the interaction that spreads the word and helps make your Peter Cushing page a REAL success...so to all you new followers, a WARM WELCOME and we all look forward to your posts and comments, don't be shy, there are no experts here, we are here with two purposes in mind, to have FUN and a great time, whilst celebrating that chap we all know and love! Thank you for your continued support and friendship , here's to TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND! Marcus

UNIVERSAL FILMS ANNOUNCE EIGHT FILM BLU RAY BOX SET


UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOME ENTERTAINMENT have announced  the release of their EIGHT HAMMER FILMS BLU RAY BOX SET for SEPTEMBER 13th 2016. The prints in this box set were what made Universal's THE FRANCHISE COLLECTION 'THE HAMMER HORROR SERIES' DVD BOX SET in 2005 the front runner for a long time in the US. Many UK Hammer fans bought the DVD set as an import and upgraded to a dual or non region DVD player in order to get these titles in their collection!



THE ARRIVAL OF THIS BOX SET now getting the BLU RAY treatment is good for US Hammer fans who over the past four years missed out on the release of many of these titles when they were released on BLU RAY in Europe. One hopes that ALL the titles in this set are going to be UPGRADED PRINTS, which brings us to one film in particular in the collection. At the time of the original release of this collection on DVD, 'The Brides of Dracula' print was by far the best print of the lot. THAT particular print we understand was was lost in a fire at SONY back in 2011, sadly affecting all subsequent releases of the film after that time. We have seen several BLU RAY releases though out Europe of this classic Cushing Hammer title on BLU RAY, but not one, was a mark up on the 2005 DVD release. So, maybe the benchmark of quality of all the other titles in this box set will be, as we have seen over the past five years in Europe, and sadly that will mean a below par print of 'BRIDES' too. I guess time will tell . . .

ANDREW RAY AND CUSHING : BBC ' THE BROWNING VERSION' TOO COOL TUESDAY


HERE'S A RARE photograph of Peter Cushing and a young Andrew Ray during the rehearsing of the BBC production of Terence Rattigan's 'The Browning Version' broadcast on July 12th 1955. Cushing played school teacher, Andrew Crocker-Harris, Ray - John Taplow.


CUSHING WAS ALSO joined by Michael Gwynn who would play the 'horror interest' in Hammer films, 'The Revenge of Frankenstein' in 1958. Actor George Curzon also appeared in this BBC production... Curzon was best known for the films 'Jamaica Inn' and 'The Man Who Knew Too Much' with Peter Lorre. I wonder if anyone out there knows if George Curzon was related to Cushing's co star in 'Daleks Invasion Earth 2150 AD ' Jill Curzon?.Now wouldn't that be too cool too?


TRIVIA: All In The Family: Andrew Ray was son of UK comedian Ted Ray, his brother was actor and writer, Robin Ray...and he was brother in law to Susan Stranks...she of ITV children's programme of the 1970's, 'Magpie'. Andrew Ray died on August 20, 2003.
