HAMMER FILMS 'DRACULA' AT PCASUK FACEBOOK

HAMMER DRACULA films  have been the stills and movies of your choice and requests over at the Facebook PCASUK Fan Page THIS week, and I've been happy to oblige! So here are a small selection that have been shared and posted! At the top, requested by follower, Martin Bolton . . a rare large colour transparency, of Christopher Lee, as Dracula ...confused, trapped and dying in #Hammerfilms 'Taste the Blood of Dracula' (69) Not a #PeterCushing film, sadly film... but a great one? With a confusing ending for some, that many have shared their ideas in the comments thread too....!

HOW AMAZING that only these actors and #Hammerfilms could make a feature film together, that was so badly timed, so sadly out of fashion for the time... that then swung back FORTY EIGHT years later and to now been seen as a valuable 'capture of the era' and appreciated by academics and critics alike... Mind you, I don't think these guys will ever be forgotten or out of fashion 😉 Do you? Full colour transparency of #PeterCushing #ChristopherLee: Count Dracula and Van Helsing in '#DraculaAD1972' 

WOW! CHRISTOPHER LEE could at times, look terrifying! You think? Requested: Rare colour transparency #ChristopherLee and #PatrickTroughton in final moments of 'Scars of Dracula' ... lots of interest and messages since we posted the last 'Scars' rare pic.. so here is another 😁


A RARE COLOUR PHOTOGRAPH OF, Director Terence Fisher working with #ChristopherLee during the shooting of the final scene . . . on ice in #Hammerfilms 'Dracula Prince of Darkness' (1966)

SUPER COLOUR TRANSPARENCY OF #CUSHING #HAMMER 'VAMPIRE LOVERS' PLUS THE #INDICATOR #POWERHOUSE 'I MONSTER' IS OUT TODAY!

OUR LAST POST (!) AT THE Facebook PCASUK Fan Page YESTERDAY, was this beautiful rare full colour transparency slide, of Peter Cushing as Gen Von Speildorf from #Hammerfilms 'The Vampire Lovers' starring Ingrid Pitt, Madeline Smith, George Cole, Douglas Wilmer and many others, forming a terrific cast.. I just WISH they had expended Cushing 's character into more screen time though... I wonder how others rate this as a Cushing film, and a Hammer film..?

HANDSUP! RARE DRACULA RISEN FROM THE GRAVE ON SET PHOTOGRAPH : #CHRISTOPHERLEE SATURDAY!

#ChristopherLee Saturday! Over at the the Facebook PCASUK Fan Page there's something I am sharing that might be a treat, for some Christopher Lee fans? 😉I haven't added our usual pcasuk ID watermark on it... intended so others might spot the watermark and with chance or luck might visit here. . . so maybe you might do that in your text if you repost it? Me, not doing it doesn't give 'others' the chance to ruin the pic, by either obviously painting the ID out or stupidly cropping and cutting the pic, and spoiling it for others, when they see or post it! I've never seen this photograph published anywhere, just maybe years ago, the size of a stamp on some site..


THE ABOVE INTERVIEW can only be seen at the Facebook PCASUK Fan Page! JUST CLICK HERE!


THE ABOVE PCASUK 'HAMMER HOUSE OF HORROR' COMPETITION is open to everyone! You can ONLY enter at the Facebook PCASUK Fan Page. It's STILL LIVE and if you haven't entered yet, here's YOUR chance. JUST CLICK HERE!

#FACEBOOK MILESTONE #STARWARS RETRO AND GUY HENRY CELEBRATES

THE ABOVE POST AND TEXT POSTED AT THE FACEBOOK PCASUK FAN PAGE on THURSDAY 15th October! 

#WOW! and #THANKYOU! This post, is not a boast... nor a brag. It is a heartfelt reach out to you! I find it amazing in these worrying and very troubled times, where everyone has more than enough on their plate to deal with, you our friends and followers, still have time to slip away escape, and distract yourselves with memories and images, of a different time. It is also a clear sign that the work and films of #PeterCushing, are still as popular as ever, easily accessible now and enjoyed the world over. I think the humble and modest, Cushing would have been very surprised by that! Here, interesting stories about his life off screen, still create interest and a steady flow of questions and enquiries to the page. PCAS is indeed a very friendly and entertaining 'safe house', so you tell me and goodness knows, on the internet now, we need one.

#2021 MARKS our tenth year on# Facebook and 10th #birthday of the PCASUK website/ Blog too! It will also be a year where I will be expanding our range, to present some new features focusing kind of unexplored Peter Cushing work. The #PCASUK archive of video and audio interviews with actors, directors and crew who worked with Peter.. these #interviews have only be shared in edited form, back in the late 1980's/ / early 90's as part of a 'audio tape magazine'... will now form a #live monthly visual #PODCAST. It's 15 years since I have dragged myself in front of a camera or even touched an editing desk.To think I once made a living from this for 35 years, sadly until I crashed, television takes no prisoners! It had all been in storage, but was dusted off last year, kick started and worked a treat! Some new software and learning and I was once again, loving it! I guess it's a bit like riding a bicycle.. you don't forget!

AS USUAL I WILL BE reviewing some interesting new books, dvd's and blu rays of Cushing's work, some from Warner Bros planned for next year, running several features on the release of Donald Fearney's new blu ray documentary for 2021, 'The Man Who Created #Frankenstein', along with reviews on the #Hammerfilms books published by #WayneKinsey, and some jaw-dropping recently uncovered and still not shared Peter Cushing / Hammer television material, long thought erased or lost! There will be the competitions, and I hope a few surprises, along with, my regular typos and lame exclamation and water marks . . but more importantly I hope, there will be YOU and your continued support, comments, shares and interest! PCASUK really is a 'one man band' here. I don't play the game of assistance of Facebook's 'post boosting', I don't need to, YOU make all that happen! This is a #hobby, one that has quite surprisingly expanded ever year. It's a hobby that I do love, made all the more fun, with you all being here too!


EVERY POST at the Facebook PCASUK Fan Page is illustraited, we post around 2 to three posts a day, across international time lines. #ChristopherLee, #Hammerfils, #Amicus films, actresses, actors, directors and crew members, all feature in our posts. Competitions, features and RARE images... ANYTHING with a Peter Cushing connection! Above, a small selection of post from the last month . . 

CAN I SHARE a HUGE welcome to all who have LIKED and FOLLOWED us in the last few weeks, thank you for joining us. To the never failing regulars, the band, thank you, I would be lost without you, as Peter Cushing would indeed say, 'In all sincerity, may God's blessing be with you always!'.... Please keep safe everyone and look after yourselves, your family, loved ones and friends - Marcus
