What made Peter Cushing so fascinating was his essential Britishness. His love and devotion for his country is something that seems rare nowadays, but for Cushing, he lived it. So much so, his reluctance to travel overseas limited his career options, even when the British film industry went into meltdown during the seventies.And yet he did work abroad and even travelled to Hollywood with dreams of movie stardom.For this book, Mark Iveson explores the films that Peter Cushing made abroad. From his glory days in Hollywood to the increasingly strange Euro-puddings produced in the seventies. Against a backdrop of his life and career as a whole, we explore what made Cushing tick, and the many films he was involved with from The Man in the Iron Mask and A Chump at Oxford through Horror Express and Star Wars to The Mystery of Monster Island and Black Jack.A fascinating tribute to the career of a man whose impact on film, television and radio cannot be understated.Reviews for Cursed Horror Stars: 'Fascinating and authoritative.'

Born in a tiny attic theatre on a dark and stormy night in the summer of 1973, The Rocky Horror Show was an immediate hit with audiences and critics alike, and a much-needed shot in the arm for London's jaded theatre scene. Five decades on, Richard O'Brien's hilarious cross-dressing tribute to trashy sci-fi B-movies, sexual liberation, gothic horror and rock 'n' roll continues to pull in the crowds and attract legions of new fans, while the classic 1975 film version - the longest continually playing theatrical release in cinema history - generated an unparalleled cult following which took the concept of audience participation to unheard of levels of immersive engagement. Exhaustively researched - and now fully REVISED, UPDATED and EXPANDED - this book chronicles the extraordinary history, continued evolution and enduring legacy of this immortal tale of an amoral transvestite scientist, extraterrestrial subterfuge, corruption of the innocent and the creation of life. Incorporating a wealth of archival material, personal memories and interviews with contributors and participants from every era of Rocky Horror history, the authors explore the show's origins and influences; the creation of the original London stage production; the numerous national and international revivals; the making of the movie; and the fanatical fishnet following which continues to define the Rocky Horror experience. This edition has a 64 page Gallery of Black and White photographs of events, ephemera and other items and places of interest to fans of the Rocky Horror phenomenon. 'An intelligent and lovingly told tale ... I have found it to be a source of great pleasure' Richard O'Brien speaking about the book.

Full of facts and information. A must for any Rocky fan.' Cathy, Amazon review 'A VERY extensive book on the history of The Rocky Horror Show, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show ... It contains little known facts and trivia, even for those who are very knowledgeable about the show/film. Check it out, and antici...pate great things!' Alex, Amazon review 'Informative, anecdotal and filled with a lot of love for Rocky, it's perfect for any fan.' L J Valentine, Goodreads 'Beautifully researched and thoroughly entertaining. The book is full of droll anecdotes and witticisms, cleverly woven into a succinct and informative writing style. With as much (if not more) pastiche and cultural reference as it's beloved subject, Still The Beast is Feeding is not so much a companion, but more of a frequent lover to all things Rocky Horror.'
