KARLOFF, CUSHING AND CRICKET

THERE ALWAYS TIME FOR NESCAFE! PETER CUSHING HAS A CUPPA!

Peter Cushing tells us.....'There's always time for Nescafe. It's the finest instant coffee!' One of his rare product endorsements from 1957...interesting as PC was always a tea drinker first and foremost.

DAPPER CUSHING SIGNED PHANTOM PROGRAMME

Here's a great item of Peter Cushing memorabilia that Karen Sonnenberg has sent in for us to share. A very nice signed programme for Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Phantom of the Opera'. Thank you, Karen! Peter attended the show at Her Majesty's Theatre, London with Joyce and Bernard Broughton back in August 1987. We've attached a pic of Peter arriving looking very dapper as usual. His evening suit and white silk scarf can be seen at the Whitstable museum.

HORROR EXPRESS COMPOSER JOHN CACAVAS DIES 83

Sad to hear of the passing of composer John Cacavas. Famous here for his haunting theme to Spanish horror film, 'HORROR EXPRESS' and Hammer Films 'THE SATANIC RITES OF DRACULA' both starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee... Cacavas worked prolifically with some of the best known US tv shows, including 'Kojak'... I'd easily peg his 'Satanic Rites' theme in my top five Hammer themes, for sure. Cacavas was 83 and had been ill for some time.
