Join me as we visit the home and possibly the Grave of Peter Cushing, on this Halloween special dedicated to this Horror Icon. I take you on a walk around where Peter used to live and we visit his old house and a regular place that he frequented.
Peter Wilton Cushing OBE (26 May 1913 – 11 August 1994) was an English actor. His acting career spanned over six decades and included appearances in more than 100 films, as well as many television, stage, and radio roles. He achieved recognition in his home country for his leading performances in the Hammer Productions horror films from the 1950s to 1970s, while earning international prominence as Grand Moff Tarkin in Star Wars

Hi everyone, thank you for all your lovely comments as always….. 🙏
To the people that seem to be taking it personally and getting their knickers in a twist. I know his surname is Cushing, it’s my accent makes it sound like Cushion…. Please don’t lose sleep over it, it’s not the end of the world. 🙏
Was Helen buried or cremated?
Thanks Paul lovely tribute
Awsome Paul, very dignified
excellent video, thank you, it was nice to learn more about the great man. never been to Whitstable, it looks like a really charming place. I loved all of the Hammer movies he appeared in, & he was a class actor. one of his lesser known Hammer roles was in the 1961 film called cash on demand. he plays a tyrannical bank manager who gives his staff hell. it's a really good thriller with a well written script, & just so different to the roles that people usually associate with him. it's well worth a watch as it shows his versatility as an artist. thank you again
A very talented actor and a wonderful man in real life.
I hope he's found his beloved wife Helen in the here after . 🙏 🙏 RIP
The skull, good film,
What a lovely tribute to one if not the finest actors ever born, what an absolutely lovely man he sounded and with such love for his wife..now that's love ❤️ thank you 😊
There was a fantastic joke several years ago about if Whoopie Goldberg had married Peter Cushion she would have been known as Whoopie Cushion lol. But as we all know, his name was Cushing, not Cushion, although depending on regional accents, it can indeed sound like Cushion. However his name is pronounced, he was an incredible actor and I can vividly remember growing up in the late 60's and 70's being terrified while watching various Hammer films that would be shown on a Saturday evening. As I got older, I discovered that in reality he was nothing like the characters he played, but was actually an incredibly warm, funny and gentle man. He never gave a bad performance in anything that he was in and no matter how bad a film might have been, he always gave 100%. A true legend who is still sadly missed. Thanks very much for posting this video Paul because I've always been curious about where he actually lived in Whitstable and have often thought about going there. Such a shame that his home is in such a neglected state and I hope that someone will eventually restore it.
Excellent video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻. God bless
No offence, but you pronounce "Cushing" very strangely! … It sounds like you're calling him "Cushion!" 🤣 …. What do you call a cushion? A Cushing?
EDIT: I see others have noticed it too? 🤣
ANOTHER EDIT: I was expecting to see Peter "Cushion's" grave.
I recently watched a documentary about the 1986 Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster, and incredibly the programme makers selected Ben Fogle to narrate. The only problem was, he COULDN'T pronounce "Nuclear" (pronounced "New-clear"). He kept saying "New-killer!" It was really distracting! Drove me crazy! 👎🤣
For me one of your best videos…i love Peter Cushing films from his horror films to his Sherlock Holmes film…I actually watched At The Earth's Core yesterday…but loved him in Star Wars…stern performance from him….he was an old English gentleman…..thanks mate…..👍
A lovely film about a lovely man🤗🐻👍
Thank you Paul for these videos! I adored Peter and all the Hammer gang. So very interesting. Much love Paul. Darrell from Cheshire
I’m lucky enough to live in whitstable , the local museum and the Tudor tea rooms are a must . Peters home on the beach is sadly not in the best condition, the local Wetherspoons is named the Peter Cushing .
"Peter Cushing lived in Whitstable, I have seen him on his bicycle, I have seen him buying vegetables…"
Peter Cushing was so realistic in his roles and underrated in the movies ( not only in the horror movies )
Great channel !

Well at least he eventually got paid , Morcame & Wise held back Mr cushings ££££ for a while
I met him whilst tarmacking ln 1989 in Whitstable a true polite gentleman from an age of respect I told him l loved his films may he be at peace with his dear wife
Chris Lee scared me just as himself.. Peter Cushing was absolutely great ..Thanks Paul wonderful as always
I absolutely adored Peter as an actor , I have seen all his films and he was such an awesome actor loved him I really did xx
Peter and Helen are no longer there..I dug them up in 1998 and they are on my mantle.
I read that the owners of the house sadly can't afford to keep it in good repair. Such a shame.
One word a legend
At the Whitstable Musuem, there are some more of Peter Cushing's personal possessions.
The inside of the Peter Cushing pub is amazing – over the bar there is an enormous still of Peter Cushing from the film Frankenstein.
Peter Cushing was my favourite actor. Such a legend, and very much missed.
Loved this video. Peter Cushing was one of my all time favourite actors. Loads of memories watching the Hammer Horror films with my wonderful dad when I was growing up. Thank you ❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💋
It's a good job I sleep during the day cuz this was creepy. Secondly, wasn't Whitstable mentioned in Bram stoker's Drakula?
This was very interesting and a bit sad to see his house looking like that.
I loved all of Peter Cushing's films, my favourite horror actors are Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Many thanks for this great video
