Did you know that this Monday would have been Boris Karloff's 122nd birthday? As it happens, over a hundred bloggers knew this and decided to stage a blogathon. I opted to use this as an excuse to reinvigorate my YOU'RE ONLY AS GOOD AS YOUR LAST PICTURE blog. ("It's ALIVE! IT'S ALIVE!!!") Last updated in June with Peter Sellers, for some reason my next choice became problematic and perpetually backburnered. So finally, I decided to skip her...

Photo of Matt Kahler and Jessie Fisher by Paul Metreyeon First off, we should tell you that we’re more familiar with Mel Brooks’ “Young Frankenstein” than Mary Shelley’s original novel. Or the Boris Karloff movie. Or any other version, really. (Our apologies to the Chicagoist Literary and Film Offices if they’re ashamed of us in any way.) The point is: We fully accept that The Hypocrites’ Frankenstein may have included references that went...

The Boris Karloff Blogathon has been running all week over at the superb Frankensteinia blog captained by Montréal cartoon artist and Frankenstein expert Pierre Fournier. I haven't participated in one of these internet-wide flurries of topic-focused writing in quite a while, but I've had great fun participating in them in the past, and even hosted one or two of them myself. I'm essentially too late to join the Karloff party, but the event has...

Actor Boris Karloff protested, as did audiences and critics when the film previewed. The scene was jettisoned, cutting off suddenly as The Monster reaches for the child."
