Unholy Trinity
Today, May 26th is Peter Cushing’s birthday. I’ll save my breath on a bio introduction because the man simply does not need one. I’ll hold my breath a little longer and kill a couple more birds with one post, because not only is tomorrow (the 27th) also Christopher’s Lee birthday, but he shares this most awesome event with the ever magnificent Vincent Price!

I knew it was Cushing's b-day, but Vincent Price and Christopher Lee's so soon? Er, I hope they like coconut cake as much as I do.
ReplyDeleteI believe I'll eat a gooey butter cake or two. Make that two sinister gooey butter cakes. I'll have to watch House of Long Shadows and Scream and Scream Again today.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that their birthdays are so darn close together is actually pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteThese three gentlemen are among my favorite actors of all time.
THREE HUGE HORROR BIRTHDAYS WIHTIN THE SAME TWO DAY PERIOD? NO WAY!! I MAY HAVE TO SACRIFICE A GOAT TODAY TOO OR SOMETHING IN HONOR.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY B-DAY TO THESE AMAZING LEGENDS OF HORROR!
Hail to the Chiefs! There are no replacements for these legends!
ReplyDeleteYou know it's gonna be a weird day when the birthday post starts off getting more comments than the pre-code post. Of course look who we're talking about though...
ReplyDeleteI felt bad photoshopping John Carradine out of this great pic of them all, but alas his b-day is in Feb (which we apparently overlooked.) And for you western fans today is John Wayne's birthday too.
That is freaky...i knew about Lee and Price but....Cushing? that's creepy because today is MY birthday! i feel honored to know that we were born on the same day.already knew the Wayne thing,so it look like instead of watching THE SEARCHERS and WAKE OF THE RED WITCH i'll have to watch CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN,HORROR OF DRACULA,THE MUMMY...Wow.still it's not as cool as your birthday on Walpurgis was Karswell.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday too, HP!
ReplyDeleteMy birthday is on May 24th. I always took great pride in the fact that three of my all-time favorite actors were fellow Gemini's like myself.
ReplyDeleteI just watched Shock Waves and now it's on to The Beast Must Die.
ReplyDeleteGood lord, why hasn't anyone declared it an official 48 hour Horror Celebrity Holiday! Black frosted cake for everyone!
