Unfortunately, both movies they share scenes in - Madhouse (also with Quarry, who passed away only a few days ago) and House of the Long Shadows (with Lee and John Carradine) - are hard to get by ... =/
Nothing is too hard for an inadequate fanatic like me! Tomorrow, for example, I will pick up 'The Mummy' (1958) in the delivery centre! I will upload the entire film on my backup account as soon as I blow my college up and have more free time! :D *dances some weird version of foxtrot*
RIP Robert Quarry. I have never heard of him, but I feel sorry about him.
Thank you, I will! Personally, I like everything which has a mummy or some other kind of walking corpse in it! Right now I am reading 'Le roman de la momie' by Théophile Gautier to practice my French, and I have to say that this book is amazing and even faithful to the historical and geographical details! Someone is bound to make a screen version of it! :D
Well, to get Cushing for this cameo was a waste of talent, really. It's just a kind of inside joke, like Chris Lee's tiny role in The Golden Compass, although Cushing was even mentioned on the movie poster for this minute part. The whole scene plays to Hugh Griffith, whose dead body is found bottled up ...
So ... so that's ALL he played!? In this entire movi?? oO ... The things people will do for inside jokes ... I guess now it's amusing even for people not in on it, because it's so absurd it's funny. :P
Man, if I saw Peter Cushing and Vincent Price sharing a scene together, it would be one of the happiest days of my life!!! :D

The Mummy is one of my all-time Cushing/Lee faves! Have fun with it! =D

I read few things by Gautier, only his story La morte amoureuse comes to my mind (and that I read in German - I neither read nor speak French).
I like Doyle's few mummy stories a lot, and Stoker's The Jewel of the Seven Stars is fun.

... I ... don't ... get it, but hey! That looked funny. At the end bit, anyway.
