Now that we are transitioning from superheroes to mainstream movies. A  shout-out to one of my favorite horror actors of all time.

The MUMMY.

This movie scared me as a kid. He was a great horror actor.

Good interview with him.

Loved Karloff as Hjalmar Poelzig in the Black Cat. He and Bela Lugosi were both great in that film.

I am not a big fan of B&W horror movies, I've seen a few and they just don't scare me.  That said, I love both Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein not because either scared me (although the brides scream sends chills down my back) but because of Karloff's portrayal and overall production/mood of the movies..

Frankenstein's monster:  I love dead!  Hate living!

Dr. Pretorius:  You're wise in your generation!

With minimal makeup and just contorted facial expressions, Karloff played a wonderful role in the Haunted Strangler.

Karloff voiced  Baron Boris von Frankenstein in Mad Monster Party. Still one of my favorite animated movies!

If you haven’t seen it before, check out Targets. Karloff tells a story in the middle of the movie that is mesmerizing. Great flick.

Karloff won a Grammy for Grinch.

Classic movies, classic actor.

Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi teamed up again in the 1935 movie The Raven. Another favorite of mine!

scene was deleted for many years but now it is back...

[Jayman]

Karloff as Mord the executioner in Tower of London. Also starring Basil Rathbone and Vincent Price. What more could you ask for? 

[evilskip]

Hands down, my favorite actor of all time. He should have been nominated for an Oscar for THE BODY SNATCHER.

He was very scary to me when I was a little kid😀😳

[Silver Surfer]

Great stuff and while they were not scary they sure were cool, especially Frankenstein. Although I must admit I have never heard or seen the Black Sabbath before.
