I love everything about this post. A friend of mine sent it to me and it had me laughing. In a good way, of course.

I've always either imagined Peter Cushing or Christopher Plummer as our dear Regis. It's a toss-up between the two of them, I swear.

What's even wilder is that said friend sent me another post where one of the game developers commented and basically confirmed that they had Peter Cushing in mind for Regis. That blew my mind. And it's funny because now that's two characters I adore... Emmrich was created with him in mind as well.

If you'd like to celebrate Peter Cushing's birthday, Tubi has 30 of his films — including 9 with Christopher Lee.

But if you watch SCREAM AND SCREAM AGAIN (1970), be warned that Cushing is only in one short scene (and not with Lee).

Celebrating the life of Peter Cushing (Peter Wilton Cushing), born 112 years ago today on May 26, 1913. Here we pay tribute to him as the ultimate vampire hunter, Doctor Van Helsing, in Dracula (1958), a Hammer horror movie starring Christopher Lee in the title role. Listen to Speckled Band’s tribute track Vampire Nights, out to stream and download everywhere.

Happy birthday to such a horror icon. You were both a marvel on-screen and yet the sweetest man to ever exist off-screen.

El 26 de mayo de 1913 nace el actor inglés Peter Cushing, Grand Moff Tarkin en Star Wars: A New Hope.

I'm crying at this description.

Really thought this would amuse you too, @therivercrow.

The creeping flesh (1973)

TMDb

En victoriansk forsker (Peter Cushing) bringer et forhistorisk skelet af en hidtil uset kæmpehominid hjem fra Ny Guinea — og når det bliver vådt vokser kød og blod frem!

Ved hjemkomsten opdager han også at hans kone er død på den lukkede afdeling, og hvordan skal han forklare det for deres datter, som troede mor forlængst var død?

Jo, fordi han frygter at hustruens vanvid skal gå i arv til datteren Penelope, indsprøjter han hende med et serum lavet af skelettets blod.

Forresten er forstanderen på galehuset (Christopher Lee) forskerens halvbror og rival i jagten på at finde den kliniske Kilde Til Al Ondskab. Og forresten er en anden af hans patienter sluppet løs i Londons slum og havneknejper, hvor Penelope forresten nu render rundt i vildelser og danser som en sanktvejtsramt.

Og så sker der en masse, og så sker der en masse mere, og vi skal forstå at de her tre filmmanus, som på en eller anden måde er blevet blandet sammen som et kortspil, alt sammen har betydning… men vi har kun halvanden time at spilde, og det gør vi så.

Det ville være rimeligt at tro, at Cushing/Lee med deres bare tilstedeværelse kunne hæve filmen over den rodede historie — men mod tilstrækkelig dumhed kæmper selv store karakterskuespillere forgæves.

#WordWeavers 16 — How long is your shortest work?

I've been incredibly busy lately, but I just wanted to answer this prompt. It's fascinating to me, honestly. I loved reading everyone's responses.

I have two short stories that I can think of at the moment. I've written tons, but hey. Ironically, both of these are Sherlock Holmes-related (and for Irene and Sherlock to boot). They were written yeaaars apart from each other.

1. Desire Beyond Skin, 2025
Written For: Arthur Conan Doyle's Books
Word Count: 826
https://archiveofourown.org/works/62038606

2. On the Edge of Forever, 2019
Written For: BBC's Sherlock Series
Word Count: 375
https://archiveofourown.org/works/19878649

I love both of these pieces so much.

New story alert! I posted something last night in an effort to make myself feel a bit better. It was a story that was sent in as a Tumblr prompt by a friend and I'm really satisfied with the way it came out. It was a tough one to write, only because the plot came to me as I working on it. I had no ideas beforehand. If you're a fan of Hammer Horror, of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, then you'll love this one.

Some (funny memes or serious gifset-related) posts about one of my favorite horror films if you're interested: https://www.tumblr.com/agoodtuckering/tagged/horror%20express

The accompanying video always makes me chuckle. It's one of the best deliveries of /no/ I've ever heard. Also, Cushing's reaction is priceless.

What can I say? These two, storyline-wise, just gave "big ex energy" to a lot of people. There's a big fanbase over on both Tumblr and AO3.

The events that took place aboard the Trans-Siberian Express leave Dr. Paul Wells and Prof. Alexander Saxton rather startled, and for good reason. They travel back to England together. Much later, at Alexander's flat, a few revelations are made.

So, I did a thing tonight and wanted to share it with everyone.

Random but over the years, I've written well over 100+ Sherlock Holmes-related stories on other sites. I’ve even written roleplay stories as various different versions of Sherlock Holmes, Mycroft Holmes, and John Watson. I wanted to move some of my stories to AO3, and perhaps add a few new ones while I’m at it. So, here goes nothing.

Here's my Holmes, if you're curious: https://agoodtuckering.tumblr.com/tagged/cushing%20holmes

Come one particularly rainy afternoon, Sherlock Holmes finds that he has a rather interesting visitor who's popped round to say hello.

I should be doing /stuff/, but I'm currently occupied.

Let's stick to the anthology horror for one more week! On this week's Monster Mondays, Geoff goes over to the anthology kings of horror, Amicus Productions, for The House That Dripped Blood.
