WHAT DID SHE SEE AT THAT BUS STOP? PLUS WHAT'S THAT BOBBING IN THE SEA?

SOMETIMES, you just need to get some fresh air and take a walk on the prom, the street or around the block. Especially if you've had a morning with fighting and 'fisty-cuffs with #VincentPrice, in amongst the smoke and deadly flames! This is a slightly different promo pic from the AIP/ #Amicusfilms 1974 'Madhouse'... I just can't help thinking what that poor by-stander, lady sitting at the bus stop, must have been thinking??

 

HERE'S A FILM that almost has a ‘marmite’ appeal to many! #PeterCushing’s role and screen time could have been longer, BUT the pay off is great. This may have been the FIRST time we saw ZOMBIES 'bobbing in the sea'? 😊 You think? Tells us here at the Facebook PCASUK Fan Page  and maybe while you are there. . . .

SHANE BRIANT FRANKENSTEIN : PETER CUSHING : MADELINE SMITH AND SHERLOCK HOLMES TOO!

Following the very sad news of Shane Briant passing yesterday, I've had quite a few messages and requests, for more images of Shane.. so here are some lesser seen photographs, along with a beautiful message from the director of the last film Shane worked on in 2015, 'Sherlock Holmes vs Frankenstein' .. where Shane reprises the role he played as Peter Cushing's Frankenstein 'hands' and assistance 'Simon Helder' in 'Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell' for #Hammerfilms in 1974. 

 

"I had the sadness to learn today that Shane Briant had died. He was a wonderful human being, caring and funny, and he will be sorely missed. Ten years ago, he was literally the first person to support "Sherlock Holmes vs Frankenstein" - outside of friends and family. We met in Paris in August 2011, as he was on his way to a recording of a commentary track for "Frankenstein and the monster from hell" in London. He returned to Paris several times, on his own or with his dear wife Wendy, and each time we talked about making the movie, so he could play the part of Simon Helder one more time. Shane became a true friend, and his involvement went way beyond what is expected of an actor in a film project.

 

 

"In 2015, he backed the crowd-funding campaign in every way he could, filming videos, contacting friends and directors, and he committed to flying from Sydney to Paris on his own expenses, just to film a few scenes in character. The scenes were shot in 2016, and we were able to put together a promotional reel. Unfortunately, the project has been stalled for a few more years, and is only moving forward again this year. I am devastated that Shane will not be able to see the movie, and I hope the result will honour the efforts he put in supporting it. His legacy will forever be linked to Hammer movies, which he always was proud of. My thoughts are with Wendy, and with Shane's family."

 

Gautier Cazenave (director 'Sherlock Holmes vs Frankenstein')

Shane was probably best known for his roles in four quite different Hammer Films productions; Demons of the Mind, Straight on Till Morning, Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter, and Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell, in which he starred as Simon, along side Peter Cushing's Baron Frankenstein, Madeline Smith and the late, Dave Prowse. The work he said he enjoyed most was appearing with John Hurt in 'The Naked Civil Servant' as Norma in 1975, his role as Dorian in  The Picture of Dorian Gray in 1973 and his role in a very popular children's tv series in Australia, 'Mission Top Secret' Since the early 1980's Shane lived and worked as resident in Sydney, Australia with his wife Wendy.

WE ARE SO LUCKY that Peter Cushing has left us such a large and varied body of work, from his appearances on TV, his writing and of course his film work. His roles for #HammerFilms as #Frankenstein, #VanHelsing #SherlockHolmes and even his portrayal of his #DrWho! And if that wasn't enough, the spirit of the man still echoes in everything we do here. When alive, Peter Cushing was so loved and respected, and that feeling and opinion is still very much alive in the spirit of our page, website, our posts and your comments and stories too.
