I remember him from Never Say Never Again and Guns of the Magnificent Seven. I enjoyed his work in both.

I didn't know he was also a football player.

RIP.

“Never Say Never Again”. The far superior of the two Bond flicks (official or not) released in 1983.

Bernie Casey carved out a nice “that guy” niche for himself: “Sharkey’s Machine”, “Revenge of the Nerds”, “Spies Like Us”.

RIP.

[GOPsterinMA]

If you have an OTA antenna, “Sharkey’s Machine” is on the “GRIT” channel. I caught part of it the other day.

Nooooo! He was awesome. Rest in peace, Mr. Casey.

[Maverick68]

He was my favorite Gargoyle of all time....

[NFHale]

Man... we’re losing folks left and right lately...

RIP, Bernie... scared the hell outta me in “Gargoyles” when I was a kid.

[Maverick68]

Svengoolie recently replayed that movie. It was easy to see why so many of us were scared by it!

[NFHale]

That movie was like 1971 or so... VERY creepy. The makeup made him like classic Lucifer paintings.

Cool flick. I’d like to see a remake of it, although Hollywood being what it is nowadays they’d probably f*** it up completely with leftist bullsh*t.

[NFHale]

Eveningstar, thanks for posting that link to the movie.

Haven’t seen it since I was a kid. I appreciate it.

The Norliss Tapes and Kolchak: The Stalker are on that site too.

Ahh, Memories of Doctor Shock, Creature Double Feature, Horror Theater, and CHiller Theater in 1970s Philly...

They really were better days.

[NFHale]

ANother good old scary movie - “The Brides of Dracula” from 1960 with Peter Cushing. LOVED that movie when I was a kid...

Can’t find a decent copy of it on YouTube anywhere.

[Maverick68]

agreed

[GOPsterinMA]

The “THIS” OTA channel usually runs a block of those flicks around Halloween.

[NFHale]

Nice.

Love the old monster movies. Cheesy, hokey, and fun.

From a better time, with better actors and better people.

[GOPsterinMA]

Off topic, but two excellent movies I recommend (try catching them on the MGMHD Channel when they have a “Walter Matthau Day”) are:

The Fortune Cookie
Charley Varrick

Two different genres, but good watching, especially “Charley Varrick”. I love the scene in it where a google tries screwing around with the Joe Don Baker character. Joe Don “handles” the google the way they should be handled.

[NFHale]

I remember both of them.

Mathau was a good actor. I enjoyed him “The Taking of Pelham 123” (the original 1974 version).

He was good in whatever role he played.
