Peter Cushing Poster Gallery Part 4!

It's the penultimate post in our weeklong salute to one of the great actors of British (and world) cinema!



The Peter Cushing Centennial Blogathon!






This all started with that finest of blogs - Frankensteinia - The Frankenstein Blog - and you can use that link to check 'em out!



But we have business - a chronological journey through all of Mr. Cushing's cinematic efforts by way of the movie posters - and we're just getting going in the 1970's...

This grouping ends up being Mr. Cushing's busiest period - as we only covered the five years from 1972-1977. Tomorrow we will bring this incredible journey to an end - and may find room for an extra or two...





Until that post, you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!

    He worked with Christopher Lee and Donald Pleasance quite a bit.

      He did - and Vincent Price - they were all chums offscreen as well!

    It's interesting to seers the use of color change from monochromatic and back again. Star Wars? It must have been an independent film. ;)

      That is one of the cool aspects of these posts - watching the poster styles change through the years.

    Thanks a bunch for putting these up. I love that Horror Express poster art - my favorite Lee & Cushing non-Hammer movie(really glad they used that for the DVD cover).

    Thanks for the kind words, Dick - yeah, that is a really good movie - and so Hammer-ish - it's well worth picking up in its latest release!

    fabulous collection! The posters for Shock Waves and Minotaur are my faves - though the latter is actually quite a stupid flick :)
