Suzan Farmer passed away on September 17th, at the age of 75, after she lost her battle with cancer. May she rest in peace. I already knew that she played Diana Kent in Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966) for Hammer Studios. That might be one of the few Dracula ones in the Hammer catalog that I haven’t seen, though I have watched several clips with her from that particular film. Earlier today, I located a copy, so I can watch that today or tomorrow.

She also starred (again with Christopher Lee) in Rasputin The Mad Monk (1966). She was in Die, Monster, Die! (1965) alongside Boris Karloff, which I have seen thanks to Comet TV airing it a lot a few months ago. For Sherlock Holmes fans, she appeared in one episode of the Peter Cushing series back in 1965--The Beryl Coronet, where she played Mary.

From what I’ve read about the Peter Cushing series, large chunks are currently missing. However, The Beryl Coronet appears to have survived.

Rifftrax Live: Birdemic—How Did You Like The Show? There were 15 people at the theater I was—well, 14, really, since someone jumped over and across seats and bolted from the room as it started. He was supposed to be in the room next door, showing Halloween at the same time, from what I gathered. It was a good Rifftrax, went off without any technical difficulties. As I was leaving, I heard from behind me someone was muttering over and over: "I...didn't know movies could be that bad. I-I didn't know...I didn't know..." Their friend consoled them. Upon my telling him there’s a sequel, Dad started laughing hysterically in the car. The short with Norman was hysterical.
