NOW HE'S REALLY ANGRY! CUSHING LEE DRACULA HARKER HAMMER GIFS


NOW HE'S  REALLY ANGRY! Jonathan Harker in a dance with death! Never has Christopher Lee's DRACULA looked more feral than in the scene from Hammer films, 'DRACULA' /'HORROR OF DRACULA'  starring Peter Cushing as Van Helsing in 1958.


Actor John Van Eyssen did a great job of playing Harker, and went on to appear in only nine other feature films, then leave his acting career in 1961 and become the head of the Grade Organisation literary agency.  He then left the business in 65 to take up a position in the UK division of Columbia Pictures, eventually becoming Managing Director in July 1969. Finally in 1970, he was promoted to Worldwide Head of Production (ex-USA) and moved to New York.


After his tenure at Columbia, Van Eyssen became an independent producer, returning to the UK in 1991 to establish Britain's premier showcase for talented young filmmakers, the Chelsea Film Festival. Born Matthew John Du Toit Van in Africa in 1922, he died in 1995, aged 73 in London. Interestingly, his son, David Van Eyssen, is a US-based producer and director known for the web-series RCVR.


AND HERE'S ONE MORE FOR THE POT! Peter Cushing as Van Helsing on rushing to the celler of the Holmwood family home, finds DRACULA's hiding place, at first minus the Count. Until . . . . .


MORE DRACULA GIFS and trivia soon!

#FRANKENSTEINFRIDAY: LEE ON LEARNING AND CUSHING THE HEART THROB


#FRANKENSTEINFRIDAY : CHRISTOPHER LEE on his time with Hammer films  and The Curse of Frankenstein, and what can be learned by just watching!


#‎frankensteinfriday‬ This a pretty neat shot from Cushing's 'The Evil of Frankenstein'... I guess there is more than one way for an actor to 'faint' or pass out..or as in this case, DROP out! But if you look at the framing and the position of the actor playing the guard here ...it's either Anthony Blackshaw or David Conville...even in his passing out, he frames himself beautifully, getting the most from his screen time...
Here's a great wrap for this week's #frankensteinfriday. This CUSHING TRIBUTE VIDEO was made a while ago and shared on our Peter Cushing Facebook Fan Page on New Year's Eve last year. It set hearts a flutter and the song by 'Girl In  A Coma, is pretty neat too!
