Come and join in with YOUR story over at our Peter Cushing Appreciation Society Facebook Fan Page FEATURE right NOW! https://www.facebook.com/petercushingblog
So, WHO introduced you to Peter Cushing and his work..his films, his
name? And why are we asking that question on Mother's Day in the US?
Well, there's a simple answer. Through out our time here on facebook,
many of you tell us about the first Cushing film you saw, usually as a
kid 10 13 maybe, some caught them on the US Horror Movie Hosts shows,
some of you here in the UK caught your first Cushing moivie during the
double bill seasons that ran on BBC tv during the 70's and 80's....but
there is one factor that comes up in most, not all, but many....You
watched your first Hammer horror or Horror film featuring Peter Cushing
with your MUM / MOM/ MOTHER even grandmother...and sometimes with your
Dad too, curled up wide eyed...but loving it! So, tells us was your
Mother the monster kid in your home? Maybe it was your Mum AND your Dad?
We'd love you to share your stories...C'mon someone held your hand...
