LOST IN THE FOG! MOMENT OF TERROR MONDAY : PETER CUSHING


#MOMENTOFTERROR MONDAY! ONE OUR MOST POPULAR uploads on our PCAS YOU TUBE CHANNEL is any uploads from the Peter Cushing Tyburn film 'THE GHOUL' considering how unpopular the film appears to have been for so many years, I find it typical of how FACEBOOK works and well this website and YOUTUBE works. So often, over the many years of managing the PCAS FACEBOOK FAN PAGE, an often vague and really quite unsupported opinion was posted by a member of the public AGAINST a certain Hammer film or indeed CUSHING film. Within a few hours, that opinion would influence so many other posts and comments, that if challenged would go very quiet. Happily, the once negative Facebook tide about this film slowly started to change direction too in the last two years, before we parted ways with Facebook last month.


PERSONALLY, I'VE FOUND if you look down the 92 films in Peter Cushing's filmography, and look for roles the like of Dr Lawrence in THE GHOUL you won't find many. . . Cushing played many evil characters, whose reputation was either formed by other appearances in past productions like Frankenstein. The likes of roles like Sir John Rowan in 'Corruption' and Dr Nararoff in 'The Gorgon' too . . were motivated by the progress of medicine. The Ghoul's Dr Lawrence is different. In this scene, where we first meet Lawrence, we see a man who is cautious, with good reason, and helpful . . with intentions. What makes his performance so interesting and entertaining also is, for the first time, Cushing also brought in emotional factors from his own personal life. It presents us with a much more credible character. Crushed by grief and driven by a most horrendous secret. 



WHAT HELPS here too is, every cast member is very good too. John Hurt's Tom Rawling's is every females nightmare. Creepy, lusty and dangerous. The despite Rawling's totally unattractive and frightening drive, the fatal physical horror and terror will be cranked up and is really yet to come. Here in this five minute clip . . we see the traps set, the lies shared and what appears to be the charity of a new friend... become many moments of terror . . .

CUSHING COLLECTABLES: ANNOTATED PAGES AUTOBIOGRAPHY NOTES


#COLLECTABLESWEDNESDAY I have never before shared images of these collectables, in fact only a handful of people have even ever seen them! But for you, today here they are!.... They are I guess, a one of originals in collectable terms. These are Peter Cushing's personal notes, written in his own hand, made during the compiling of his first autobiography.


THERE ARE 15 PAGES IN ALL, some are paragraphs in rough form, from the chapters of the book, lots of doodles, notes to himself and reminders to 'check this' with question marks...! These are the pages of notes that went to make the filmography and titles of television and theatre performances through out his long career, that appeared at the back of the book. Some titles are just shooting titles, that were changed upon the films release. He also lists he awards, tour date, also if a production were for tv or screen. They make fascinating reading as Cushing tries to chronologically piece together the puzzle. How I came upon these notes. . . . is a story in itself, which I will share with you, next week - Marcus
