The Boris Karloff Thread

[Susan Foreman]

Why is there not a dedicated thread to Boris Karloff on the forum?

Anyway, heads up people

From tomorrow (Monday, 5th September, 2016), the 'Talking Pictures' channel (on Freeview 81, Freesat 306, Youview 81 and Sky 343) are showing all 26 episodes of 'Colonel March of Scotland Yard' at 7.30pm every night of the week.

This is the one where Boris heads the little known Scotland Yard Department of Queer Complaints (no sniggering at the back there!).

It's one that regularly gets an airing as part of my October Horror Fest.

Rewatched The Old Dark House, which features our William as the "butler", plus when he turned up in Scarface etc.

Targets (1968) is also one of my favourites.

Awesome film and a regular part of my must watch Halloween viewings.

For me its the Bride,every time,not sure why maybe because he has as much luck dating as me,although no one as yet has reacted quite like Elsa Lanchester,well not yet.





Dr. Pretorius: You think I'm mad. Perhaps I am. But listen, Henry Frankenstein. While you were digging in your graves, piecing together dead tissues, I, my dear pupil, went for my material to the source of life. I grew my creatures, like cultures, grew them as nature does, from seed.
