Early evening viewing: The Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires. Not one of Hammer's best, a 70s attempt to cross Peter Cushing vamp horror with the then-popular Kung-Fu craze, but silly fun, and not seen it in years, so...

It’s weird when you just remember something that you’d forgotten for maybe 20 years.
In 1990, at the age of 18, I had a little #horror zine (anyone remember zines?). I probably had about 150 copies go out every few months and in it I would give my thoughts on classic horror, what was coming and deepest love #HammerHorror
On a whim, I write to Peter Cushing’s agent and about 6 weeks later I got an email back saying that Peter would be delighted to speak to me.
We spoke for two hours, about Hammer, about #StarWars and #DoctorWho
It was amazing.
I wish I still had a copy of that edition of my Zine l, but alas, lost to history.

...a sympathetic blind resident in Amicus' Tales from the Crypt, the psychiatrist in Hammer's Demons of the Mind (both 1972) and the malevolent professor in Fulci's The Black Cat (1981). Mesmerising as the animal trader in "What Big Eyes", Nigel Kneale's tragic lycantropy riff for Beasts (1976).

Remembering Ferdy Mayne (1916-98), the great German film / television / stage actor, born Ferdinand Philip Mayer-Horckel in Mainz #OnThisDay. He had over two hundred screen credits across six decades, memorably as vampire lord Count von Krolock in Polanski's The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967), killed by Ingrid Pitt in Hammer's The Vampire Lovers (1970), as the ageing horror film star in Frightmare (1983) and God in Night Train to Terror (1985).

Sorry to learn that #RobertTayman, the charismatic English actor, has passed. Memorable in British films of the 60s and 70s, notably as the evil Count Mitterhaus in Hammer's glorious Vampire Circus (1972) and Mark E. De Sade, the seductive procurer of young women for Pete Walker's House of Whipcord (1974).

The most viewed and Retweeted thing ive put on Tw**er (by a mile) was a few lines about thinking Hammer's To the Devil a Daughter is still not that good. And a few of the likes were from anti-vaccers. I don't get it. #HammerHorror #HammerFilms
...Hammer's innovative The Quatermass Experiment (1955), Quatermass 2 (1957) and Hell is a City (1960) and, with Wolf Mankowitz, co-writing / directing seminal, prophetic London disaster / newspaper drama The Day the Earth Caught Fire (1961).

alongside a series of suspenseful, Diabolique-inspired psychological thrillers. He also crafted a trio of fabulous late-period Bette Davis vehicles: the chilling / melancholic The Nanny (1965), venomous black comedy The Anniversary (1968) and ABC's Psycho-infused Scream, Pretty Peggy (1973).

Remembering Michael Denys Gwynn (1916-76), the versatile English film, television and stage actor, born in Bath on this day. Memorable as the Major in Village of the Damned (1960) and Hermes in Jason and the Argonauts (1963), he appeared in both Hollywood epics and Hammer and Amicus horrors. Outstanding as the tragic, cannibalistic product of Peter Cushing's experiments in Terence Fisher's grim, moving The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958).
