PETER CUHING : SHANE BRIANT : MADELINE SMITH: FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL : HAMMER FILMS

 
FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL Hammer Films (1972/1974) Peter Cushing, Shane Briant and Madeline Smith. SMITH: 'I look at that film now and wonder who the girl is. With her very dark hair, a bit podgy in the fizzog, nothing like me at all.
 
I remember that Peter was lovely to work with, but I was still rather nervous because he was such a big star. He got on well with Shane, who was as ferocious in his way about what he did as Peter was. It was terrible to see what grief had done to Peter. He was so painfully thin, and it was if the light had gone out of his eyes. He paid no heed to the hoot-and hollerers, and just got quietly on with the business of making our little film'

PETER CUSHING: HAMMER FRANKENSTEIN FRIDAYS: SOON RETURNING TO PCASUK


DR WHO: PETER CUSHING: THE USUAL SUSPECTS: LEE SULLIVAN.

This fantastic DR WHO artwork comes courtesy of artist and illustrator Lee Sullivan who joined PCASUK a few weeks ago and was commissioned last year to produce this piece of art for The Cartoon Museum in London, to promote an exhibition of Dr Who comic strips. It's a re working of an earlier version that appeared in the Dr Who Monthly Magazine and is a pastiche of 'The Usual Suspects' movie poster. Peter Cushing may not be considered 'Dr Who Canon' but he certainly looks as if he belongs here!

UPDATE: INFO FROM LEE SULLIVAN ON ORDERING THIS PRINT FOLLOWING YOUR REQUESTS:

Thanks for asking about the Usual Suspects print. The larger prints (approx 45x21 cm) are £38 inc P&P and the smaller (32x15 cm) are £28 inc P&P. These are high-quality photo prints on satin paper, made in small batches, signed and numbered as part of an open-ended 'series 0' run, as they are not going to be generally available. If they ever are, then that'll be 'series 1' - so '0' will be as exclusive as they get, for what it's worth! Paypal is my preferred method of payment.
