MR SMITH'S SON IS BACK FROM THE DEAD! HE IS VERY ANGRY AND NO DUMMY!

#MONSTERMONDAY! Asylum as most of you will know is a British Horror film, made in 1972, starring among many others, Peter Cushing, and Barry Morse. It is a horror anthology film, one of several produced by Amicus during the 1960's and 1970's.

Here Cushing and Morse star in a story entitled, 'THE WEIRD TAILOR' Here it is for your enjoyment! TRAVIA: Cushing Morse and their wives, Helen and Sydney were once traveling across London together in a double decker bus during the end of WW2...and were almost killed by a flying bomb....!

THE OLD ACID BATH TRICK! VINCENT PRICE TAKES A DIP!

#GETTHECUSHIONITSCUSHING: Scream and Scream Again (1970) has the honor of being the first film to star Vincent Price, Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, though Price and Lee only share screen time in the film's climax, and Cushing, in his brief scene, shares no screen time with either Price or Lee.

A somewhat confusing film, in fact Price said he never understood the script at all. It was based on the novel "The Disoriented Man" by Peter Saxon. The film was a co-production between Amcius and AIP with Milton Subotsky getting the rites to the novel and financing from AIP.

If anyone out there has read the book, would be curious to know how closely the film follows it? Here is the weird scene in which Vincent Price as Dr. Browning is fighting with Konratz played by Marshall Jones.

DENHOLM ELLIOTT : DRACULA AMICUS AND SO MUCH MORE

REMEMBERING today.. Denholm Elliott, who we sadly lost on this day in 1992. A long and fascinating career, with which seems to have cross just about every genre, he even had some time to stop off and appear in one of the best portmanteau Amicus films with Peter Cushing in 1971. What are some of your favorite Ellliott performances?

TRIVIA: NOT MANY CAN REMEMBER THAT DENHOLM ELLIOTT, once played DRACULA, in a Thames television production, back in 1968!
