Dr. Terror's House of Horrors (February 1965)
Despite Cushing's top billing, he's basically just the link-man in this effective horror anthology, the first of many for Amicus studios, Hammer's main competitor for several years. The only reason I'm showing this poster is because...hey, it's Cushing, all right?

Dr. Who and the Daleks (June 1965)
Starring Cushing, Roy Castle, Jennie Linden and Roberta Tovey. Based on the popular BBC TV series, thought not entirely faithful to the television characters.
"...The difficulty with playing Dr. Who on the screen was that one couldn't expect everyone in the world to know about him...So we decided to play him simply as a professor who has invented this machine that travels through time and space and I created my own character out of that idea, realizing that a lot of people in Britain might be disappointed." – Peter Cushing

The Skull (August 1965)
Starring Cushing. A modest modern-day chiller, with solid performances from Cushing and his supporting cast (including Christopher Lee), but a thin storyline. Shown here is the French poster (which, if you run its title through AltaVista's translation service, gives you the hilarious The Fixed Prices of the Marquis de Sade. Anybody know what "Forfaits" actually means, in this context?).
"...If you want to make horror films...you can't do better than Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. They have a wonderful chemistry on screen." – Freddie Francis, director
