Title: Boris Karloff Post by: Scott on November 01, 2007, 01:06:44 AM TCM movies just did a great Boris Karloff marathon Halloween night. From 8pm to 6am. I didn't get to see them since Ghostbusters did a 6 hour live broadcast, but during commercials I watched parts of the first four films. All of them looked great and I hope to watch each of these one day.
Bedlam The Ivisible Ray The Body Snatcher The Old Dark House Die Monster Die The Walking Dead Isle Of The Dead Title: Re: Boris Karloff Post by: Oldskool138 on November 01, 2007, 07:54:41 AM Die Monster Die is a loose adaptation of HP Lovecraft's Colour Out of Space it starts off pretty good but then descends into a typical 60's monster movie.
Karloff was the bomb!

All good ,many classic! My Short takes- .The INVISABLE RAY- Karloff (literlay) shines in this...which was later reworked,in a way, as MAN MADE MONSTER...with Lon Chaney and Lionel Atwill! .The BODY SNATCHER-in my opinion the BEST of the Val Lewton RKO horrors of the 40's!!! .The OLD DARK HOUSE- Of all the films listed..this is THEE must see. James Whale's black humor at it's finest! And Ernest Theisanger! -"Here...have a potato" .DIE MONSTER DIE!- Nice to see King Karloff still kicking it in the 60's...with Nick Adams too! .The WALKING DEAD- Trivia note-Bogart used the same funky hairstyle in the RETURN of DR.X a coupla years later! .ISLE of the DEAD- Another Val Lewton-Robert Wise masterpiece! Title: Re: Boris Karloff Post by: Scott on November 01, 2007, 11:03:39 PM These looked really great RCMerchant. Really want to see them from start to finish sometime. I did get a good look at BEDLAM, INVISIBLE RAY, and THE OLD DARK HOUSE. Caught the scene in THE OLD DARK HOUSE where the crazy guys is coming part way down the stairs after his little speech. Great atmosphere for such an old film.
