HAPPY BIRTHDAY PETER CUSHING!

One of the all-time true icons of horror, the fabulous Peter Cushing would have turned 95 today! Happy Birthday, Peter. You are not forgotten.

Celebrating with a viewing later of SATANIC RITES OF DRACULASmile

Also, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I didn't mention the great Pam Grier, who celebrates a birthday today also, turning 59 years young!

Happy Birthday, Pam!

RE: HAPPY BIRTHDAY PETER CUSHING!

I for sure will never forget the great man Peter Cushing. One of the staples of movie education for me were the movies of Peter Cushing / Christopher Lee from the Hammer stable. Late night double bills & the delightful rarity of a Horror Express were always such a thrill.
I regularly retell a story which apparently involved Mr. Cushing giving a pint of blood one day & then feeling queezy after the event to the degree of then needing two pints back in order to get him back on his feet. How ironic !.
Still today very much an iconic figure that is highly watchable in many, many fine roles. bb

RE: HAPPY BIRTHDAY PETER CUSHING!

Of course yet another irony is that today (27th May) is actually Christopher Lee's Birthday. Two of the giants of Horror born one day apart & so intrinsically linked.
News of Christopher Lee in Director Robert Englund's interpretation of Russian Horror great The Vij is very welcome indeed. bb

RE: HAPPY BIRTHDAY PETER CUSHING!

And in yet another wild coincidence, it is also the birthday today of another horror icon, Vincent Price!

May was a good month for baby horror stars it seems!
