Description
Dr. J. Van Helsing As portrayed by Peter Cushing in Hammer Studios's 1960 classic "The Brides of Dracula" directed by Terence Fisher.What can be said about the late great Peter Cushing, the man exuded an sort of calm coolness mixed with obsession that made him a perfect choice for Van Helsing.
His performance gives "The Brides of Dracula" a sense of urgency, despite the fact that his adversary has to be one of the least intimidating Vampires in cinematic history. David Peel's Baron Meinster has always been as frightening to me as a little boy with a bath towel cape and plastic fangs. And even though in the film Cushing is knocked to the ground not once, but twice by an old lady, he still manages to exuded a coolness... The man is Grand Moff Tarkin for pete's sake.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you Dr. Van Helsing, the original Fearless Vampire Killer.

Wow, amazing piece!
I
this amazing actor beyond all words I could write.
I'd so love to see "Brides of Dracula", but always missed the opportunity to do so.
