Excellent choices, especially allowing the Monster of Sir Christopher Lee & the Gillman to have their moment. But the two entries for Cushing & Lee were spot on. Hammer, & even the Fifties, wouldn't be what they were without them. Can't wait for the rest of this series! 👏🏻
That was a cracking list there mate. Some of my favourite films and actors, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and Vincent Price. Absolute legends, no one comes close today, you knew if a film starred one of these icons you were in for a treat. Also agree with you on the Mutant from This Island Earth, such a great alien. The Creature from the Black Lagoon was also awesome. A great video mate. 👏👏👏
Yes!!! Excellent idea for a series Bryn 👌 I'm already looking forward to your next instalments. When you mentioned Christopher Lee as Frankenstein's monster, I couldn't help think you should have picked Peter Cushing's Baron Frankenstein, and then... there he was 😄. Excellent list Bryn, I can't fault this at all, your choices are spot on.
I'd have chosen all 10 from Ed Wood movies. Inspector Clay, Eros, Officer Kelton, Ghoul Man, Vampire Girl, Eric Vornoff, Lobo and of course, Criswell! Final two spots can go to Black Ghost and White Ghost, why not? lol
Hi Bryn. Cool list, of course two entries from Cushing and Lee is undeniable. As others have stated definitely check out Night of the Hunter with Robert Mitchum as the Preacher with Love and Hate tattooed across his knuckles. An excellent film. I’ve got to shout out my girl Vampira!! No characterization per se but she looks amazing, everlasting imagery!!
Such a great list, HorrorHands! As you went through the characters, I really started to notice how much of a nostalgic throwback to the 1930s we have in the 1950s....Frankenstein, Dracula, Creature from the Black Lagoon ( a re-imagined King Kong story). Great video!
Great vlog and start to a new series mate, so looking forward to this. Straight away the original Bodysnatchers, what film. As a child in the early 80s seeing this for the first time I didn't want to go to sleep, and like you mentioned the end seen running down the road then climbs in the back of the truck. It's one I don't own currently, but definitely on my radar now. Cheers mate 👍👊❤️
Great list. I watched House on Haunted Hill when I was very young and loved it even though the skeleton scared me but yeah Vincent Price is just so damn charming. He's great.
Great topic for a new video series, Bryn. Full marks to you for giving such accurate descriptions of three of my all time fave horror icons: Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and Vincent Price! Love How To Make A Monster. I would have nominated Lee's first Dracula film too as my No. 1 horror character of the 1950s, closely followed by Cushing's Baron Frankenstein. Am looking forward to the 1960s episode. Welll done.
Thank you, Alan! Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and Vincent Price are my three biggest icons of horror. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the upcoming videos.
Oh interesting. Gonna need to think on this… Vincent Price in House of Wax is very cool. Starts off as such a nice guy refusing to sell out by making lurid horror crowd pleasers and then turns into a crazed killer when he’s disfigured. Like an early version of Phibes. Robert Mitchum as the psycho ‘preacher’ Harry Powell in Night of the Hunter! Just fab and what a performance. 😱 Of course I’d have Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee in there as Van Helsing and Dracula both superb - I particularly like Cushing’s introduction as a character when he’s recoding his dictation on vampirism and vampires; however I do think Cushing’s portrayal of Frankenstein comes more into his own by the 1960s and if you watch his story arc as a character by giving the films a back to back viewing, I think he generally starts off as a good guy, if a little frustrated by the limited vision of those around him. Whereas by the 1960s Hammer Frankenstein movies he’s totally reprehensible and although brilliant is a greater monster than any of his creations. I mean by 1969s ‘… Must Be Destroyed’ he’s absolutely ruthless. A complete fiend. Good shout on Kevin McCarthy.
Hi Cliff, definitely agree with you on Peter Cushing’s character development through the Frankenstein movies. I really need to see Night of the Hunter. Thanks for watching.
Great video brynn m8, enjoyed that countdown, love both versions of invasion of body snatchers and Steve McQueen in the blob, again love the remake of that and Frankenstein Christopher Lee, just a classic legendary film, love any Frankenstein film and van helsing there really is only one Peter Cushing like his role in Frankenstein, just a classic fabulous actor, you left the best till last and my fav horror icon Dracula, love vampires and Dracula, used to come back late from been out on the lash and watch Dracula usually on BBC and channel 4, the hammer Dracula Christopher lee is just thee best and like you say still very atmospheric, Erie, haunting and scary, could put the Dracula films on and watch all week, like a lot of hammer films. Look forward to the 60s Brynn. Cheers M8
Thank you, Jamie. Yes, Christopher Lee as Dracula and Peter Cushing as Van Helsing are both so iconic. Sounds like you’ve got good memories of watching the films! Thanks for the comment.
Great video mate, I must admit the 50s isn't my most researched era of film, I have recently seen the creature from the black lagoon and really enjoyed it though 😁
Most excellent. Most excellent indeed. A great idea for a series. And I was particularly pleased to see the Christopher Lee Frankenstein Monster, which just happens to be my all time favorite portrayal of the monster in question. Do wish we could have seen him a time or two more. I don't know this Lagoon Creature character you spoke of. Sounds a little fishy to me.
Thank you! Cool to know that Christopher Lee is your favorite Frankenstein Monster. You probably wouldn’t like Creature From The Black Lagoon - too highbrow for you.
Really cool list, I'll need to watch This Island Earth. One I would add to the list is sadistic preacher Harry Powell played by Robert Mitchum in The Night of the Hunter.
Great list Bryn. I loved the Creature from the Black Lagoon - your dad did a great job bringing the bust to life. I know that Grimm Life Collective have recently uploaded location videos. Hard to believe that there’s still things to visit today from when it was filmed. Are you going to do a 1930’s or 40’s horror characters list? Or is that too early?
Thank you, Lee. That Creature bust is one of my favourites that my dad has done. I start in the 1950’s because my knowledge prior to that decade is a bit sketchy, particularly the 1940’s!
Hi Bryn Excellent topic again This should be interesting going through the decades For my pick from the 50s is probably pick not many people will mention And that is Dana Andrews from the classic night of the demon. What a character. Cheers mate 😊
Great list mate, Kevin Mccarthy for the win, although I prefer the 78 body snatchers I Still think KM is the best of the final.guys in it, have a good week pal
Hey Bryn, I am excited about the new series!! This was an awesome video with a great choice of characters!! Vincent Price is one of my favorite actors!! Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing are great, too!! I am looking forward to the rest of the series!!
Great video Bryn. I'm sure I'll catch up with the series. I see you're ploughing through it. That Invasion Of The Body Snatchers is scarier than the 70s version and I love how he's in both films. That Easter egg is perfect. Great list mate. Trev
Great list. Have you seen Night of the Demon 1957. Timothy Caldwell. He's a really good and creepy character in that excellent movie. Keep up the good work mate, great Channel.
Interesting that McQueen may have had that poster. I remember enjoying The Blob. Gonna watch it again. He was great in The Hunter and The Cincinnati Kid. Wow that’s a unique looking Frankenstein. I’m gonna watch Curse of Frankenstein. Body Snatchers is still so unsettling. McCarthy was awesome. I’m enjoying the vid! 🎥🎥🎥🎥🎃🎃🎃🎃🦇🦇🦇🦇
Good one bryn l would squeeze in the smug Dr. Julian Karswell from Night of the Demon and the most unluckiest men around at the time Scott from The Incredible Shrinking Man and Andre Delambre from The Fly if you see them walking towards you cross the road and poor Dr. Hill from Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Now I understand, What you tried to say to me, And how you suffered for your sanity, And how you tried to set them free, They would not listen, they did not know how, Perhaps they'll listen noooooow : }
Excellent choices, especially allowing the Monster of Sir Christopher Lee & the Gillman to have their moment. But the two entries for Cushing & Lee were spot on. Hammer, & even the Fifties, wouldn't be what they were without them. Can't wait for the rest of this series! 👏🏻

Thank you, mate! Completely agree with you on Lee, Cushing and Price - they made films better by just being in them!
Peter Cushing is fantastic in mostly everything just love his performances , great video mate 👍🏻
I agree! Thanks, Stuart.
Yes!!! Excellent idea for a series Bryn 👌
I'm already looking forward to your next instalments.

Thank you, mate. Hope you enjoy the upcoming videos 🙂 Yes, the ending to Invasion of the Body Snatchers is very memorable!
This is a great idea for a series. Come on 60's icons.
Thank you! 1960's coming soon :)
Great list. I watched House on Haunted Hill when I was very young and loved it even though the skeleton scared me but yeah Vincent Price is just so damn charming. He's great.
Yeah, that skeleton was crazy for the time. Thanks for watching!
Fantastic picks Bryn. You hit on every cylinder. Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and Vincent Price are so good. I love this island earth.
They’re probably my 3 biggest icons of horror. Thanks, Jason.
Always look forward to your content Bryn. I gotta go with Tor Johnson from Plan 9 and Night of the Ghouls.
Look forward to your 60's list!
Ah, yes! Tor was very iconic back then. Thanks for watching!
Great topic for a new video series, Bryn. Full marks to you for giving such accurate descriptions of three of my all time fave horror icons: Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and Vincent Price!

Yes, he was fantastic. Thanks, mate. You too.
So sad to have lost Roger Corman earlier this month. PLEASE, a video on him? Or even a series? PLEEEEEEZ! 🙏🏻
I’ve been thinking of doing something. I’d just need to watch several of his movies to familiarise myself with them again.
@@horrorhands879
Oh, thankyouthankyouthankyou! 😢
@@horrorhands879
Make sure you watch Shame, starring William Shatner. Terrific little low-budget. 🎞
@@h.calvert3165 I’ll look it up 👍
Great list, I got How to Make a Monster from your recommendation, and loved it.
That’s awesome to hear! Thank you
Great picks mate. I've never seen This Island Earth
It’s a fun one, mate. Definitely worth a watch.
Thank You for the List and Video 😀
No problem 😊

The esemble cast from :The Thing from Another World and Dr Karswell ( Nial MacGinnis) in : Night of the Demon.
