CUSHING CURIOSITIES (BOX SET)

6 DISC COLLECTION INCLUDES 5 FEATURE FILMS, 6 BBC TELEPLAYS, 200-PAGE BOOK AND 16+ HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES!

From Hammer Films to STAR WARS, he remains one of genre films' best-loved actors. Now celebrate six of the most unexpected, rarely seen and decidedly curious performances from the legendary career of PETER CUSHING.

Cushing delivers a rare villain turn in the 1960 aviation thriller CONE OF SILENCE. That same year, Cushing brought gentle dignity to The Boulting Brothers' cold-war drama SUSPECT. In 1962's THE MAN WHO FINALLY DIED, Cushing co-stars opposite Stanley Baker as a former Nazi hiding a grave post-war secret. Cushing returns to his iconic role of SHERLOCK HOLMES in these six surviving episodes of the 1968 BBC TV series. The oft-maligned 1971 shocker BLOODSUCKERS can now be reassessed for the first time in its Restored Extended Version. And Cushing portrays a vampire for the first and only time in 1974's off-the-wall erotic comedy TENDER DRACULA, premiering here in its Director's Cut.

Each disc has been mastered from original vault elements with over 16 total hours of trailers, commentaries, vintage interviews, location features and more, plus the all-new 200-page book PETER CUSHING: A PORTRAIT IN SIX SKETCHES by award-winning horror film historian Jonathan Rigby.
