Peter Cushing Centennial Blogathon: May 25-31, 2013

May 13th, 2013 by admin | Posted in Hammer Films, Peter Cushing

I am proud to announce my participation in the Peter Cushing Centennial Blogathon to be held May 25-31 of this year. I will post my contribution here, of course, and those of other contributors will all be listed at the Frankensteinia blog that is orchestrating this fine effort. For my part, I will explore Cushing’s take on the Abraham Van Helsing character contrasted with the film Van Helsing from 2004 and what this tells us about what Cushing brought to the character, as well as changes to the concept of the monster hunter.
