In 1984 Cushing won an International Fantasy Film Award - Best Actor for his contributions to the fantastic film genre. Commenting on acting in horror films, Mr. Cushing reflects: ÒThere is little chance for a person to exercise the imagination today in this complex, programmed society we have. These movies allow people of all ages to experience wondrous things and a good fright never hurt a healthy person.Ó. Seller Inventory # 18424E
