Boris Karloff news, related photos and videos, and reviews of Boris Karloff performances. According to Wikipedia: Boris Karloff was an English actor, who emigrated to Canada in the 1910s, best known for his roles in horror films and the creation of the Monster in 1931's "Frankenstein". His popularity following "Frankenstein" in the early 1930s was such that for a brief time he was billed simply as "Karloff" or, on some movie posters, "Karloff the Uncanny".
Horror suggests physical repulsion, disgust, and that seems to me a worthless, pointless reaction for any work of entertainment to aim at; it's so easy it isn't worth doing. An eye, say, plopping all bloody into a glass dish may provoke a gasp of revulsion when it is first seen on the screen, but this is an entirely physical thing, and something one can get used to--no doubt with a certain coarsening of one's responses in the process. The second or third time something like this happens in a... Read Full Story

Good quality but best for a short wear-time The mask is well made and easy to get on and off. The eye holes are well hidden but small. Therefore, the mask wearer should be careful since your field of vision is narrow. As with all masks, it is hot after a while. Since the "head" is long/tall, there is foam inside to fill out the top part of the head. This is very smart. The mouth hole is also a little small and so talking too much can cause the mask to get stuffy inside. This is definitely... Read Full Story
I love these pics of Boris Karloff (William Henry Pratt). I was a huge fan of the Universal monsters of the 30s, especially Frankenstein's monster and the wolfman. And they scared me. Of course, that was a long time ago, when I was 38 or 39. Hard to imagine these movies being scary anymore. But here are a few pics of Karloff getting made up and taking a smoke break. During one interview Karloff says the makeup process took 4+ hours and he remembered one day of shooting that lasted 25 hours... Read Full Story
