Offscreen Notes

Michael GoughL 1917-2011

March 18th, 2011

Hammer legend Michael Gough has died at the age of 94. Although most people will remember him for his quaint turn as Batman’s butler in Batman, older fans will most likely remember Gough for his sterling work in Hammer horror films, most notably in Fisher’s Dracula, but also other horror pics Konga, Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors, Skull, Horrors of the Black Museum, Berserk, Curse of the Crimson Altar, and (well, they can’t all be great) Trog. Never a leading man, Gough was the ideal understudy, quiet authority figure, or dependable ally.
