50 YEARS OLD TODAY: HAPPY BIRTHDAY 'THE GORGON'
It's a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to a grand ol lady!
It's 50 years today that Hammer films 'THE GORGON' hit the big screen.
Starring Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Barbara Shelley and Richard
Pasco it certainly qualifies as one of Hammer films marquee titles. Made
at Bray studios and directed by Terence Fisher. This post is dedicated
to our 'number one' resident Gorgon fan, Joshua 'Mageara' Kennedy!

REMEMBERING ROBERT URQUHART : BORN TODAY 1921
REMEMBERING Robert Urquhart. 'Quiet, well-read
and a lover of classical music, Robert Urquhart was an actor who grew
frustrated with his career as he grew older. It was, he bemoaned, an
honorable profession but so much of the material he was offered did not deserve any respect...' Robert Urquhart Obituary. 'The Independent' newspaper, 24th March 1995.
In the early
1950's Urquhart was building himself quite a reputation for his theatre
work. A reputation that would eventually bring him to the attention of
studio casting agents and land him supporting roles on the big screen.
But it was in the medium of film, that Urquhart was not such a happy
chap...
That one film
was 'The Curse of Frankenstein' with Peter Cushing in 1957 for Hammer
film. He detested it. It is said he left the premier screening, refused
to make appearances to promote it and only in the last years of his
revived career on television, could he find the stomach to even mention
it, if it was brought up in interviews.
By 1980,
Urquhart had cooled off a little..and appeared in another Hammer
production, the Hammer House of Horror' television series, in an episode
entitled, - Children of the Full Moon. However, we remember him today
for his sterling performance in The Curse of Frankenstein'!

SEVEN FOOT TALL AND ALL FLESH AND BONES! #MONSTERMONDAY TAKES IN 'THE CREEPING FLESH'
This #MONSTERMONDAY we ask you to consider the
creep credentials of a skeleton with a difference...It doesn't sound
very frightening... a paleontological bag-of-bones discovered in Papua
New Guinea....and the 7ft tall skeleton doesn't do very
much for the first hour of 'The Creeping Flesh'. However... chop off a
digit and 'just add water..!'...and it becomes a flesh creeping, bone
chilling tower of revenge. How do we rate this MONSTER?
