MINA THE ONE WHO GOT AWAY! MELISSA STRIBLING REMEMBERED


REMEMBERING: Melissa Stribling who was born today November 7th 1927. Stribling appeared in just the one film with Peter Cushing...but boy did she pick the right one! She also got to play in one of Hammer films most iconic scenes in their 1958 'Dracula', where Christopher Lee's Count, in the dead of night, visits her home and..without a word.. seduces her. The scene is so super charged with sexual tension, it almost crackles off the screen and as a result got the scissors treatment from the censors at the time.


In 2013, in Hammer's restored print the exorcised footage was replaced, giving us the full picture of what Director Terence Fisher, Stribling and Lee had originally intended and created.

BLAZES! IT'S FOUR FABULOUS FIERY FINALES ON BONFIRE NIGHT!


Blazes and heaven to murgatroyed! What's all this? Bonfire Night in the UK...that's what! The cats are hiding, the dogs are howling and the smell of eggy fireworks and sooty smoke will fill the air for days! Pretty much what it must have felt and smelt like on quite a few Peter Cushing films back in the day... Here are FOUR blazing finishes to FOUR Peter Cushing films. I am sure you'll have no problem naming them. BUT how many more explosive and flaming endings to PC's films can you think of? Answers later on the FACEBOOK FAN PAGE ... after I put out the cat...
