John Carson died peacefully on November 5th 2016 in Cape
Town, South Africa. He was 89. The well-known actor, loving husband, and a
wonderful father and grandfather; will be greatly missed by his family, and the
many people whose lives he touched.
Carson was born on February 28, 1927 in Colombo, Ceylon
and was an English actor known for his appearances in film and television.
Making his film debut in 1947, he carved out a career appearing in low-budget
British films such as “Seven Keys” (1961), “Smokescreen” (1964) and “Master
Spy” (1964). His saturnine looks and sinister voice (sometimes compared with
James Mason) led to him starring in a number of horror films including “The
Night Caller” (1965), “The Plague of the Zombies” (1965), “The Man Who Haunted
Himself” (1970), “Taste the Blood of Dracula” (1970) and “Captain Kronos –
Vampire Hunter” (1972). His only Euro-western appearance was in an uncredited
role in Ramsbottom Rides Again (1956).
