Speaking of #ChristopherLee and #HammerHorror

I learnt -- probably from the #Gremlins2 director's commentary -- that Christopher Lee was really surprised by the adoration he received from the Gremlins 2 crew.

I think by that point Lee was not dong many films, like a forgotten star or something. And he probably hadn't starred in many US films either -- if any at all. I'm sure imdb will have all the answers.

But Lee didn't realise how admired he was.

He's also very good in Gremlins 2.

Probably his best performance really.

This evening's viewing distraction: classic 1960s #horror with The Devil Rides Out. Christopher Lee in a Dennis Wheatley based yarn, adapted by the great Richard Matheson for Hammer.

From today’s #aiart project: An autumnal woodcut set of folk-horror tarot cards.

Designed in #midjourney and taking inspo from sources such as British folklore, ‘70s Hammer movies and NWOBHM bands like AngelWitch and modern ones like Green Lung.
