WHAT WAS THE PET NAME PC GAVE TO HIS TOUPEE?


#THROWBACKTHURSDAY Here is a rare colour photograph, I though I would share with you today, something I thought you would like to see😀 I love this photograph of Peter, just resting and a rare sight seeing him wearing that kind of hat! I would think by this time, he saw little point in wearing his toupee, that he would usually have on stand by, for any public appearance. Cushing actually had a PET name for the hair piece he wore in the 1980's 😀 . . .Can you tell us, what that NAME was? Post YOUR suggestion in the comment box below!

#TOOCOOLTUESDAY: COLOURISED GUESTS FROM HAMMER BRIDES PREMIER




#TOOLCOOLTUESDAY: Here is a colourized image from premiere 1960’s 'The Brides of Dracula', featuring Yvonne Monlaur and of course Peter Cushing. 'Brides', is one of those films that in my very humble opinion…manages to outdo the original in almost every way. Ok I will conceit that perhaps during the latter half of the film the script isn’t the strongest, but the opening sequences at Castle Meinster easily stand among the best of any Hammer Horror and again…perhaps somewhat controversially, far outdo those in the earlier picture. Cushing once again gets to play more of the action hero and the final sequences in the barn are incredibly thrilling, including the famous ‘branding’ sequence. David Peel makes a refreshing substitute for Christopher Lee and it’s nice to see the Hammer team taking a chance on a very different look for this vampire. Of course Yvonne Monlaur steals a great deal of the screen, being equally glamorous and, un-like a lot of early Hammer heroines, convincingly brave as she becomes determined to free the Baron. It’s a shame she only did one more picture for Hammer, 1961’s 'The Terror of the Tongs' though horror fans can also catch her in 1960’s 'Circus of Horrors' alongside another Hammer star, Anton Differing. Monlaur passed away earlier this year, it’s a tribute to her performance that 'The Brides of Dracula' succeeds at being as powerful as it is. - Callum McKelvie (pcas)

THE DRACULA SHOT THAT NEVER MADE IT : CUSHING THE MERCILESS AND GOOD SHOES, MAKETH THE MAN!


#CHRISTOPHERLEESATURDAY! My Granny always said, 'You can always judge man by the quality of his shoes..!' With Christopher Lee busily polishing his custom made Italian brogues here, Granny would have obviously rated him quite high on her crib sheet. That's a nice shine too. Lee obviously doesn't trust to leave his shoes outside his hotel room door...after that LAST episode, with one going missing.


The Prince of Darkness . . .. 'Dracula, Prince of Darkness'
 (Hammer films 1966)



ALL TOGETHER NOW: 'FLASH! AHH...AHHH!' What a song! What a movie! Think on this . . .what if GEORGE LUCAS has decided not to make #STARWARS back in 1977, but instead, waited until 1980...and made, FLASH GORDON instead???? . . .Cus-HING as MING would have been interest-ING though...maybe? No? Mark H and dear Carrie, would have been perfect, not sure about Karen Allen though . . 🙂 This stunn-ING mock up cinema poster is the work of El Ray Network, I believe.



#CHRISTOPHERLEESATURDAYS! Can YOU spot the shot, with Marsha Hunt, that never made it to the final UK edit of #DRACULA AD 1972...starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, before the big bow out, in the Satanic Rites of Dracula (1973)

WHEN SIGNINGS GO WRONG! IT'S NOT ME IT'S SIR IAN MCKELLEN PLUS THE EROTIC AND TERRIFYING!




#CHRISTOPHERLEESATURDAY! 'That's NOT me...It's Sir Ian McKellen!' I am sure this must have happened many time, but at this kerbside signing at a public event, Sir Christopher Lee keeps his composure, as his wife Gitte 'bristles'..as from within the anxious crowd of fans and autograph hunters, a hand thrusts out a glossy 10 x 8 photograph for Christopher's signature . . . . Let the ground open up and swallow me! I would have , died...
