BBC A History of Horror with Mark Gatiss 2of3 Home Counties Horror

[specialfaiths]

Peter Cushing lives in Whitstable,

You can see him on his bicycle,

He goes shopping for his vegetables...

As a horror fan, trust me, I understand the appeal of b-films.

But in a series called "A History of Horror", where in the hell is Psycho? Why are we skipping the most monumental horror film ever to waffle on and on and on about the 19th Dracula movie? Christ.

@bvespertine Psycho is in the next episode. It's being done chronologically.

[bvespertine]

@snowyalice Oh thank God. :) I just watched it and you can tell he's not so passionate about American horror films, classics they may be (he obviously grew up with Hammer B-movies). Which is fine! But it seems a bit weird to be going on about all these Dracula sequels and giving arguably the most influential horror films brief blurbs because he has to because it's be ridiculous to skip them altogether.

My god, but Peter Cushing looks so much like Voldemort!

[unitedgirlsofkis]

In short, the UK is just badass.

[SaxonVoter]

Gatiss is such a fanboy. :D

Thanks for the upload. This is a superb documentary series which needs more eyes directed onto it.

[Lunarwill]

Great series, but he missed my all time favorite movie, and a very pivotal one in the genre. Polanski's Rosemary's Baby.

[BlackMagnumFilms]

@Lunarwill He covered that film in Episode 3, somewhere in the first half.

I had a smile on my face up until the mention of a rape scene in Satan's Claw. Instantly disappeared. And then the Suspiria theme starts to play and my smile returns.

I may have pissed myself when Mark said "All those tits and bums"

[2011TREADSTONE]

Yeh don't see Dracula, looking all moody and broody...No he's got his groove on, doing his shit and being super badass, not crying into his sandwhiches and moping around after some equally misreable chick!

[83RockaRolla]

49:47 Price and Cushing *swoon*

[mojododo85]

See THAT'S what happens to vampires when daylight hits them! They perish in dusty agony.. not sparkle with teenage angst!

[WashuBellana]

thanks for uploading these! Fantastic series 

[pidger]

Thanks a lot for uploading these, absolutely adored these 3 series'...

[silenceseaandsky]

What makes this really special is the amount of small but important details: Hammers painted leaves and berries,Niall MacGinnis in clown make-up talking about snakes and ladders,P.Cushings and V.Prices love for old castles and London fog, and the contrast between Blood on Satans Claw scenes, M.Gatiss talk with P.Haggard and the peaceful rural setting.....

[ThePinipedsBrother]

Loved it!

Peter Cushing is one of my favorites too. The clips of him here are really charming, he's just the complete opposite of his stern, steely-eyed characters.

Thanks again for posting.
