CAROLINE MUNRO, CHRISTOPHER NEAME AND DIRECTOR ALAN GIBSON: DRACULA AD 1972
The set of Hammer films Dracula AD 1972, seems to have been quite a happy and relaxed place, lots of evidence on behind the scenes photographs of the young cast chilling and playing 'games' with Christopher Lee. Here's a behind the scenes shot, that maybe a new one for some of director Alan Gibson nudging in on the action during Christopher Neame's 'Alucard freak out'.
Hammer films, Dracula AD 1972 marked Peter Cushing's return to the role of vampire hunter, Van Helsing, joined for the first time since 1958, by Christopher Lee as Dracula. For many, this marked the beginning of the end, with the traditional gothic story time line being shunted into modern day, 1970's London. The film was followed by The Satanic Rites of Dracula, also set in trendy London. It was the last time Cushing and Lee appeared together as Dracula and Van Helsing, and the final time Lee wore the cloak for Hammer.

DAPPER CUSHING SIGNED PHANTOM PROGRAMME
Here's a great item of Peter Cushing
memorabilia that Karen Sonnenberg has sent in for us to share. A very nice signed programme for Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Phantom of the
Opera'. Thank you, Karen! Peter attended the show at Her Majesty's
Theatre, London with Joyce and Bernard Broughton back in August 1987. We've
attached a pic of Peter arriving looking very dapper as usual. His
evening suit and white silk scarf can be seen at the Whitstable museum.

HORROR EXPRESS COMPOSER JOHN CACAVAS DIES 83
Sad to hear of the passing of composer John
Cacavas. Famous here for his haunting theme to Spanish horror film, 'HORROR EXPRESS' and Hammer Films 'THE SATANIC RITES OF DRACULA' both
starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee... Cacavas worked
prolifically with some of the best known US tv shows, including
'Kojak'... I'd easily peg his 'Satanic Rites' theme in my top five
Hammer themes, for sure. Cacavas was 83 and had been ill for some time.
