PETER CUSHING: THE MAKING OF A NIGHTMARE TENDRE DRACULA

ASK AN ARDENT PETER CUSHING FAN ABOUT THEIR LEAST  FAVOURITE PETER CUSHING MOVIE AND MAYBE THEY'LL PITCH SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 'THE DEVIL'S MEN' AND 'THE BLOOD BEAST TERROR'.  ONE ABOUT NASTY GOINGS ON IN THE MED AND THE LATER WAS QUOTED BY CUSHING HIMSELF, AS TO BEING NOT, THAT HOT.....

TENDRE DRACULA OR LA GRANDE TROUILL..OR EVEN, CONFESSIONS OF A BLOOD DRINKER WAS MADE IN 1974...AND MORES THE PITY. FOR THE LIKES OF FANS WHO

CONSIDER CUSHING'S AWARD WINNING PERFORMANCE IN THE 1972 TALES FROM THE CRYPT TO BE THE PINNICLE, WITH THE BBC PRODUCTION OF 1984 HOLDING IT'S HAND, TENDRE DRACULA DOESN'T EVEN RATE WITH LADIES IN MOTH SUITS AND BEER BELLIED DEVIL WORSHIPERS IN GREECE. NO, TENDRE DRACULA IS SOMETHING ELSE. FOR ANYONE WHO HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO VIEW IT, THAT SOMETHING ELSE, IS A SLIPPERY LABEL THAT IS HARD TO LICK AND STICK. 

HOW CAN A FILM BE THIS BAD?

HOW CAN A FILM FALL ON SO MANY KNIVES?

NEXT MONTH AT THEBLACKBOXCLUB.COM WEBSITE WE'LL BE PUTTING TOGETHER THE STORY BEHIND 'THE MAKING OF A NIGHTMARE. TENDRE DRACULA. A FEATURE THAT PROMISES TO ANSWER THE QUESTION...

'WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?'
