Say Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh.....Fine acting from Sam Kydd

Yeah I get all choked up at that scene! Sam lived about 1/2 mile from me here in Belfast, he must have a credit list a week long. It's a BONESUCKER to be sure.

That's the old British "X" certificate, which replaced the "H" (for horror) cert. You had to be at least 16 to see those movies.

Don't you love the old days, when the actor had to grab the monster's appendages and wrap them around himself.

NEVER ask Edward Judd for a HAND!   Notice the way Peter covers his face I wonder did they get a real amputee to replace him for a more gruesome effect? @Cushing Fan

Just a special effects prop arm - a pretty good job I must say!

Peter was (H)-armless in that scene and you have to HAND it to him for his acting.

Nice comic cover of him in his series Orlando, yes I'm old enough that I even remember him when he played the same character in "Crane". Unfortunately I never met him however at one point I was working on a feature on him but no one was interested as he was not well known, a real shame. Another fact about him is he was a true War hero even suffering through being imprisoned in a Japanese prison camp, something he would never talk about. He really loved playing Orlando as he enjoyed children loving the show, strange enough the same happened to William Hartnell (Dr Who) he played every character going yet only became known for a children's show.

As you posted a cover Gnasher I'll do the same with this week's Radio Times magazine featuring this Winters new BBC/Netflix series Dracula! Here' something to sink your fangs into.
