Boris Karloff

Frankenstein (75th Anniversary Edition) (Universal Legacy Series)

Colin Clive, Mae Clarke

Universal Studios, 2006

Innocence and sensitivity have no place in this world
Classic story of the mad scientist and the monster that stole his last name. Bela Lugosi turned this role down because it contained no lines. Lucky for Karloff, who beautifully conveyed the part with an engaging sensitivity while maintaining an ultimate level of ...

The Comedy of Terrors/The Raven

Vincent Price, Peter Lorre

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

Both are goot, the Raven is the gem
I enjoyed Vincent Price's movies since I was a kid. My favorites are of course the Dr. Phibes flicks Vincent Price: MGM Scream Legends Collection (The Abominable Dr. Phibes / Tales of Terror / Theater of Blood / Madhouse / Witchfinder General / Dr. Phibes Rises Again / ...

Horror 250 Movie Pack

Christopher Lee, Vincent Price

Mill Creek Entertainment, 2007

A real bargain - but beware, you're getting quantity over quality
The Mill Creek Horror Collection 250 Movie Pack gives you a ridiculous amount of value for the money. At around 20 cents a title, how can you go wrong? I've had this for a couple of months and have managed to watch about 20 of the movies so far. I can't comment on ...

The Bride of Frankenstein

Boris Karloff, Colin Clive

Universal Studios, 1999

Domestic dispute: Bride vs. Frankenstein
Can a sequel outdo the original? Audiences, critics, and (more importantly) many of my friends seem to think so. And they all have a solid case. The Bride of Frankenstein is a remarkable continuation of the previous masterpiece. It opens with a haunting murder ...

The Bela Lugosi Collection (Murders in the Rue Morgue / The Black Cat / The Raven / The Invisible Ray / Black ...

Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi

Universal Studios, 2005

Some details and positive comments on "The Invisible Ray"
I just wanted to drop in here and voice my profound enthusiasm for "The Invisible Ray" (1936), which is perhaps the most obscure film of the entire package, and which stars both Boris Karloff (as Dr. Janos Rukh) and Bela Lugosi (as Dr. Felix Benet). This one is an ...

Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (50th Birthday Deluxe Remastered Edition)

Boris Karloff, Thurl Ravenscroft

Warner Home Video, 2006

Very good film
When I was a child, I watched this film for the first time on TV. Now, I'm so glad in having this product on DVD and I watch it once and once again in Christmas time. There are new or modern versions for "The grinch" and also for "Horton" but I prefere these ancient ...

Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man / House of Frankenstein

Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney Jr.

Universal Studios, 2007

Some details and positive comments for 'House of Frankenstein'
I just wanted to drop in here and express my sincere enthusiasm for "House of Frankenstein," which is one of the two films on this DVD. Director Erle (not a typo!) C. Kenton went all out on this 1944 black-and-white film to present a Frankenstein movie which all ...

Dr. Seuss - How the Grinch Stole Christmas/Horton Hears a Who

June Foray, Boris Karloff

Warner Home Video, 2000

Very good film
When I was a child, I watched this film for the first time on TV. Now, I'm so glad in having this product on DVD and I watch it once and once again in Christmas time. There are new or modern versions for "The grinch" and also for "Horton" but I prefere these ancient ...

Mad Monster Party

Boris Karloff, Allen Swift

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2005

Great Classic Movie!
This was the first movie I owned on VHS! I wanted to have a copy on dvd. The quality is great. There are some extras on the menu that aren't didn't come on the VHS tape. Shipping was fast. I will buy from this seller again!

The Mummy (Universal Legacy Series)

Boris Karloff, Zita Johann

Universal Studios, 2008

A Doomed Love Story With Horrific Overtones...
...has always been my take on THE MUMMY even when I first saw it as a child. I was fascinated by the Karloff character in the beginning and then felt sorry for him when I realized that he did it all for love. His hypnotic powers were awesome especially the shots of his ...

The Ghoul

Boris Karloff, Cedric Hardwicke

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

A Lost Treasure
The Ghoul quite has the sense of a lost treasure, it is brilliantly filmed with dark, moody sets and strong, sparse, directional focused lighting, giving an all over creepy feel to a movie where the title role of 'the ghoul' is only actually seen in about three scenes ...

The Old Dark House

Boris Karloff, Melvyn Douglas

Kino Video, 2003

Raging storm, trapped in a spooky mansion with psychopaths!
For the vintage black-and-white mystery-thriller film purist, this 1932 Universal Pictures flick has it all: brilliant casting, stormy night, spooky mansion, vulnerable travelers, crazy residents... what more could anyone ask for? Now, while this is a very old film the ...

Frankenstein (Universal Studios Classic Monster Collection)

Colin Clive, Mae Clarke

Universal Studios, 1999

Innocence and sensitivity have no place in this world
Classic story of the mad scientist and the monster that stole his last name. Bela Lugosi turned this role down because it contained no lines. Lucky for Karloff, who beautifully conveyed the part with an engaging sensitivity while maintaining an ultimate level of ...

Mr. Wong, Detective - The Complete Collection (Mr. Wong, Detective / The Mystery of Mr. Wong / Mr. Wong in ...

Boris Karloff, Keye Luke

VCI Entertainment, 2008

MR WONG
ITS HARD TO CONCEIVE BORIS KARLOFF AS AN ASIAN, WITH HIS SPEECH AND HEIGHT. BUT HE PULLS IT OFF WITH SOME GOOD MOVIES. SOME OF THE SCRIPTS WERE USED IN OTHER MOVIES OF THE ERA, BUT ITS STILL GOOD VIEWING.

The Veil

Boris Karloff

Image Entertainment, 2001

For everyone, not just Karloff fans
I can't say I was ever much of an outspoken Karloff fan, but will say that this series was an excellent chance for him to show some range in his acting. The Veil has actually made me a Karloff fan and feel it's a shame he was not in more visible dramatic film roles ...
