So David Peel owned an antique shop in his last years... It was also the case for actress Ellen Pollock ("Horror Hospital"), she has her shop in a gallery not far from the King's College if I remember well. She starred with Tod Slaughter in a season of Grand-Guignol plays in the 1940s, and Tod was paired with Henry Oscar as the two body snatchers in "The Greed of William Hart", so the information reproduced in the newspaper (see post # 207) is false, "Brides of Dracula" wasn't Henry Oscar's first horror movie. "William Hart" was released many years earlier, in 1948.

By the way, in "Brides", Meinster is not killed by the shadow of the cross only, it's the conjunction of the holy water and the cross which kills him. And why not, after all?
