If ever there was an immortal movie monster, it was Frankenstein, or more correctly Frankenstein’s monster. And of course the role of the monster was originally played by Boris Karloff who starred in scores of horror films. A new film documentary, Boris Karloff: The Man Behind the Monster explores just who this amazing actor was. I was happy to interview filmmakers Thomas Hamilton and Ron MacCloskey about Karloff and their film.

Right up my alley. I did a piece on Karloff and a few on Frankenstein. I’m kind of obsessed with the themes behind Frankenstein…
If your listeners want a good Karloff movie that isn’t a monster movie, The Walking Dead is excellent…
Oh, Karloff and Frankenstein humor pieces should be a lot of fun to read! I’ll take a look.
Oh… thanks!
