From Beyond The Grave (1973): Part 4/10

[OrodesIII]

Peter Cushing was perfect as a northern working class junk dealer in a cloth cap.  LOL

[Pjwwp]

Peter cushing Showing how he can act, was such a great actor loved all his films !

[waitew]

I only know Donald Pleasance from the episode of the Twilight Zone he was in. I think the role he played there was much more fitting for him than this.

[meadowlane37]

this was made by amicus, one of a number of horror films with a central theme linking different stories.this segment is very spooky. Donald Pleasance is very good here.

[sinshamsh11]

the evil is gone from here! oh wait...

[amck72]

god damn she looks just like her dad...pretty creepy as well

[margords]

[bigjackie82]

Thanks for posting this !

[Singerboy]

Im sorry but if I was that guy I would have killed my wife years ago lol



[chestnutsev7]

i think this story with diana dors is my favourite one in this great bit of amicus work. 

[derek1969able]

in this segment everybody steals the show, even the young boy!!

[Webbgurl2000]

Dors was in some of Hitchcock's stuff as well. The TV stuff

[5355vbxjbj76rvn]

Emily looks right spooky - her eyes especially.

[jegspillerpiano]

@5355vbxjbj76rvn yeah, she's even more spooky than her dad ever was!

[SteveBywaters]

Dors is wonderful in this

[zykophonyguitar]

Gonna buy the DVD - been hunting the title down for ages. Donald Pleasence is a master as always!

[MorganScorpion]

Diana Dors was a beauty when she was younger, and she was always a fine actress. Love her best in "The Amazing Mr Blunden".

Angela Pleasance scrubs up well with a better hairdo and some nicer make-up.

[owlzowlz]

Ian Bannen is clearly supposed to be beguiled by the daughter. *ahem* I guess he prefers the 'embalmed ironing-board' look to, er, Diana Dors. I love this stuff!

[TheNaomiengland]

Diana Dors really did let herself go.

[MrDors70]

@TheNaomiengland no need to slag dors ok darlin

[MrDors70]

@TheNaomiengland no need for your jell

[MrTulip65]

@TheNaomiengland Diana Dors had her time as an English Rose, and then in her later career distinguished herself as a very good character actress - she also struggled with serious illness for many of those years, so be nice about her, or MrDors and I will 'ave words wiv yer!!

[monceau27]

Ian Bannen is a very subtil actor too ;i remember him in The Offence directed by Lumet where he gives a performance as good as Connery.

[herbal1971]

Naughty..... shouldn't have done that....

:))

[1965ismaninblack]

Does anyone know the comedian who did an impression of Donald Pleasance singing "Great Balls of Fire"?

[ThatsMrMoronToYou]

Who's the skirt in the pink? She's hot in a shrewish kind of way.

[MagnusVideos]

@ThatsMrMoronToYou Diana Dors

[DarkSk1es]

@ThatsMrMoronToYou That's Diana Dors - in her younger days, believe it or not, when she was trim, she was Britain's pin up.

[onemooners]

she does favor Donald

[opendtuning]

the atmosphere drips with intensity...

[acesobrian]

Was this not the film they parodied a little in Top Secret, when Val Kilmer went to the shop and saw Peter Cushing who moved backwards, and had a magnifiied glass?

[fifirockefeller]

I liked the wife's updo beehive hairdo. She is quite the shrew, though!

[Stuart2554]

ahhh Diana Dors.... what a woman!

[Mider999]

@Stuart2554 you mean Emily or that fat cow of a wife?

[Stuart2554]

@Mider999 lol! the wife! built like a proper woman, she was magnificent :D

[MrDors70]

@Stuart2554 nice  one mate

[SianJosette]

I agree with the comments made so far.

The Hammer Horrors had an 'atmosphere' about them that was decidedly creepy. The suspense makes them unique these days, as horror movies now rely on gore and CGI which I believe can sometimes 'take away' any real scares.

[foreo]

From Beyond The Grave came from Amicus Productions, not Hammer. Amicus was (if it was possible?!) probably more outlandish and tawdry - and certainly darker - and were often mistaken as Hammer films. They often shared the same actors but the other main difference between the two studios was that Amicus usually set their stories in a contemporary setting and Hammer were, more often than not, period films.

[goodbyelonglive44]

@SianJosette hey that woman of the frustrated man who lies about his millitary service, well I think taht woman makes an excellent mother to the boy..

[Areashiftybun]

@SianJosette I completely agree about Hammer Horror, although this is actually an Amicus production. Amicus were contemporaries of Hammer, but their films were normally anthologies like this and, unlike Hammer, they were usually set in the time they were filmed.

[ozzymandi]

Donald Pleasance , what a superb actor.

Here he acts with his real daughter.

I love the sinister presence of this man.

A great actor.

[Mider999]

@ozzymandi He was a great actor indeed though i always knew him only for his Halloween performances as a kid i have lately seen his great performances in movies like this and in the movie Prince of Darkness. Truly a great man

[goodbyelonglive44]

@ozzymandi hey what about that frustrated man?

[ozzymandi]

@goodbyelonglive44

The young kid is realy sinister and appears to take a perverse delight in his parents little tiffs.

In the end he is instumental in their demise.

[PhilJonesIII]

@ozzymandi If he were mine then I would likely be the instrument of his demise.

[area51er6]

@ozzymandi Funny, Donald was actually in the RAF in WWII, shot down and spent time in a POW camp, very fitting for this role..

[TheAlienFan]

@area51er6 Never knew that he was in the war.He does play the part really well I think

[asgardreien]

these movies have such a unique atmosphere, thanks for posting!

[demonlo]

classic horror
