THE LATE CHRISTOPHER LEE HAS THE LAST LAUGH ....LITERALLY!


WHILST CONDUCTING the digital remastering process on his collected musical works, Mel Croucher unearthed a never-heard-before gem: An ‘evil laugh’ competition between Christopher Lee and fellow actor Joaquim de Almeida.


IN THE DAYS  when computer games came on cassette, Automata were well known for including music tracks on the reverse side as a ‘bonus’ for the players. The Games Collector, a UK-based company is now selling those music tracks as a collection on crowdfunding site Indiegogo. When it came to re-mastering the audio for Deus Ex Machina 2, the sequel to Automata’s most famous game, an outtake was found in the archives in which Christopher Lee - at that point in his nineties and recording one of his final voice acting roles – competed with Joaquim de Almeida to see who could laugh in the most evil way possible, with Croucher himself the judge! Who won? Well, that would be telling…!


WITH THE REMASTERING complete, the evil laugh competition is included as a bonus extra on one of the five albums that make up Insπred: The Collective Works of Mel Croucher. Croucher himself is considered the father of the British gaming industry; at a time when most computers were being used to calculate the compound interest on the revenue from a year’s worth of potato sales, he was selling his eclectic range of games for the ZX Spectrum through eye-catching adverts on the back pages of the popular computing magazines of the day.

Interested parties can reserve their collection through the campaigns crowdfunding page at igg.me/at/pimania  A preview of Mel’s music is available on Soundcloud at bit.ly/2oHZlae

The Games Collector Ltd is the result of decades of playing and creating games and the obsessive collecting of memorabilia by its founders. With a product line up featuring exclusive, exquisite and highly desirable collectibles, the company aims to bring fans the items they long for, and maybe even a few they didn’t know they wanted!

RARE HAMILL INTERVIEW ON CUSHING AND STAR WARS


#TOOCOOLTUESDAY: Here are some updates of POSTS from our FACEBOOK FAN PAGE, that got a lot of attention over the past few days!  The first clip features Mark Hamill talking about meeting Peter Cushing on the set of Star Wars! One from a 1970's appearance on children's television, the other a more recent Q and A session. He REALLY is a Peter Cushing fan and as you will see from the second clip, he is quite knowledgeable about Peter's life and career!

ABOVE IS probably the clip we get requested to repost, more than any other! Peter Cushing getting flustered and tripping over his dialogue in #STARWARS. Thank goodness he attempts at trying to say, 'You would prefer another target? A military target? Then name the system!!' Came alright in the end!


BELOW THE SLIPPERS that went on to cause so many problems many years later . . . in an interview with Peter Cushing from the mid eighties, he explains the story, we all now know so well...
