Peter Cushing's Horror Movies

[nosferatu42]

I have 36 for definite and a couple of might have seen when i was young but not sure about.
From beyond the grave and Tales from the crypt are particular favourites of mine, i've always loved portmanteau horror films.
Also Dracula, Brides of Dracula and Twins of evil are great too, but Cushing is always worth watching.

He didn't think much of BLOOD BEAST TERROR either, but they are both really fun (if different) films. I wonder if he would have a re-think on CORRUPTION if he could see all the torture porn and stuff out today, its very tame in comparison!

I very much doubt it. He was a gentleman, he even disliked some of the stuff in Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed. Him, Veronica Carlson and director Terence Fisher were all vehemently against adding the rape scene to spice the film up for the US market.

Didn't he quite dislike horror films in general? I thought there was an interview once where he said he didn't like all the blood and when asked why he made such films he said "because they made people happy" or something like that?

They're a couple of my faves too, and Cushing's performances in both are fantastic. Asylum is another good 'un with yet another great performance by Peter Cushing.

What a great package this would have made on the Midnight Movies double features DVD's.
