Really thought this would amuse you too, @therivercrow.

So, I did a thing tonight and wanted to share it with everyone.

Random but over the years, I've written well over 100+ Sherlock Holmes-related stories on other sites. I’ve even written roleplay stories as various different versions of Sherlock Holmes, Mycroft Holmes, and John Watson. I wanted to move some of my stories to AO3, and perhaps add a few new ones while I’m at it. So, here goes nothing.

Here's my Holmes, if you're curious: https://agoodtuckering.tumblr.com/post/771993473516765184

Come one particularly rainy afternoon, Sherlock Holmes finds that he has a rather interesting visitor who's come by to say hello.

The Brides of Dracula (1960)

TMDb

Efter Draculas død i Horror of Dracula (1958) er Dr van Helsing (Peter Cushing) stadig på vampyrjagt i Transsylvanien — for science, of course! Vi møder først en ung lærerinde på vej gennem egnen til sin nye stilling ved en pigeskole, men postvognen efterlader hende ved nattetide på en landevejskro med verdens største amagerhylde. Baronesse Meinster kommer “tilfældigt” forbi og tilbyder hende overnatning på sit herresæde.

Herefter følger en første akt fyldt med innuendo, en skarptunget amme og en gotisk arving lænket i sidefløjen. Først da frøken Marianne sætter sidstnævnte fri, bliver det hele så decideret vampyrisk, at Peter Cushing dukker op. Men mens van Helsing ledsager hende til pigeskolen, lægger den unge baron andre planer for både hende og hendes kolleger. Eleverne bliver ikke omtalt, men mon ikke også de er på menuen…?

Kudos til Hammer Films for at ikke bare genoplive Dracula ved første, bedste lejlighed. Det kan også have en vis betydning, at der var blevet rift om Christopher Lee, men denne opfølger klarer det helt fint i hans fravær. Schloss Meinster er en stemningsfuld setting, hvis mange detaljer oser af hengemt aristokrati og storheds tiders tingeltangel. Gennem hele filmen fremhæves Det Uhyggelige (efter 1960-målestok) af teatralsk lyssætning, der ikke lader samtidige, italienske filmmagere noget efter.

Efterhånden som baron Meinsters harem vokser, med hjælp af den Stockholm-syndromramte amme, antager udødskulten lidt karakter af et friseksuelt kollektiv. “Kys mig,” siger en nyligt omvendt brud til Marianne, som på dette tidspunkt er forlovet med baronen(!?), “du er vel ikke vred over at jeg lod ham elske mig?” Puha, det bliver varmt herinde! Så er det godt, at et stålsat blik fra Cushing øjeblikkeligt sænker temperaturen igen.

Her 64 år senere er Brides of Dracula decideret i hyggehorror-klassen, men for hvad den er, og for Peter Cushings hyperkapable van Helsing-type, er den immervæk et gensyn værd.

Happy birthday to the great Peter Cushing, who was born on this day in 1913. I'm sure a lot of my lifelong love of #horror came from late night viewings of many Hammer films with Peter and his good friend Christopher Lee, probably at an age when I was too young for them but didn't care, because I loved them.

This week’s episode is live now. While I am off out for a meal and then a cinema showing of Abigail.

The Cordial Cardinal - Archibald Phim

A lovely, commissioned character sheet that I got to work on, of a fine Fallen London gentleman with a Cardinal past before London fell. Peter Cushing is his faceclaim and it was a lot of fun to imagine his Neathly appearances!

Frankenstein and the monster from hell (1974)

TMDb

En ung doktor bliver indlagt på en victoriansk mentalanstalt, hvor en anden indsat har overtaget tøjlerne — baron Victor Frankenstein, som fortsætter sine eksperimenter med patienterne som råmateriale.

Denne sene Frankenstein-sequel er ikke helt i kampform, og det er svært at klandre Peter Cushing. Han indspillede trods alt 7 andre film samme år. Det er historien og den samme gamle formel som behøver en genoplivning.

Som en bonus spilles filmens monster (som kun titlen hævder er “fra helvede”) af David Prowse, som nogle år senere spillede Darth Vader. Hans neanderthal-makeup her giver ham ikke meget mere mulighed for at bruge mimik i hans skuespil. Og Patrick Troughton (kendt som den anden Doktor i Doctor Who) har en lille rolle som gravrøver…

The curse of Frankenstein (1957)

TMDb

Hvori Peter Cushing gør sin debut som baron Frankenstein, og Christopher Lee spiller hans skabning.

De større træk af historien behøver nok ingen introduktion, men filmen spiller kækt op ad kendte troper fra tidligere versioner: f eks barnet ved søkanten og den blinde gamling. Og det hele rammes ind som et flashback fra baronens fængselscelle, og et tre- eller femkantsdrama, afhængigt af hvordan man ser på det.

The skull (1965)

TMDb

En samler køber Markis de Sades kranie af en lyssky klunser, og fordi [halvstuderet okkultklingende mumlen] er fanden løs i Laksegade.

Peter Cushing og Christopher Lee er som skabt til den særlige gysergenre, der udlægges af excentriske velhavere i mørke privatbiblioteker over kaminild og cognac. Derfor er det uventet effektivt, når filmen kammer over i surrealistiske og småt psykedeliske tableauer.

Afgjort en film, Argento har skelet til!
