1.Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! / Horton Hears a Who! starring: June Foray, Boris Karloff, Thurl Ravenscroft directed by: Ben Washam November 07, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
This is always a good cartoon for Christmas time, and it's a hard-core classic. The Grinch dresses up as Santa Claus and steals all the presents from Who-Ville. Will he ever learn the true meaning of Christmas? I highly recommend HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS!!!

3.The Bride of Frankenstein starring: Boris Karloff, Elsa Lanchester, Colin Clive, Valerie Hobson, Ernest Thesiger directed by: James Whale March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.54
I JUST WATCHED "THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN" FOR THE FIRST TIME (73 YEARS AFTER ITS MAKING). WHILE MOVIE MAKING HAS OBVIOUSLY TRAVELED LIGHT YEARS FROM THE TECHNIQUES USED IS THIS FILM, IT IS STILL A TRUE CLASSIC IN HORROR FILMDOM. ASIDE FROM JUST A FEW OUT OF FOCUS SHOTS LEFT IN THE FILM, SUCH AS THE TOUCHING OF HANDS IN THE "REBUFFED" SCENE, THIS IS STILL A CREEPY AND RATHER SCARY FILM THAT IS TRULY TIMELESS. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO SEE A LITTLE MORE OF THE BRIDE..BUT MAYBE THE BEST WAS TRULY SAVED FOR THE END THIS TIME. I COULDN'T HELP BUT FEEL SORRY FOR THE BIG FELLA AS HE TRIED AND TRIED TO BEFRIEND MANY HE CAME INTO CONTACT WITH...BUT WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF A 7 FOOT SQUARE HEADED MAN-CREATURE HAPPENED UPON YOU? THIS IS A GREAT FILM. I WOULD PAY TO SEE THIS MOVIE ... Read More

4.Frankenstein starring: Colin Clive, Mae Clarke, Boris Karloff, John Boles, Edward Van Sloan directed by: James Whale March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.65
I bought this dvd to show my students after having read Frankenstein, well, both the students and I found the movie laughably bad. Yes, some of that is due to the technological limits of the time, but some of the other problems are inexcusable (why are Victor and Henry's names switched? Why does the movie start of the way it doe?, etc.) All and all, it is a movie I wished I would have rented rather than purchasing because it is doubtful that I will ever use it in my classroom again.

5.Charlie Chan: At the Opera starring: Warner Oland, Boris Karloff, Keye Luke, William Demarest, Guy Usher directed by: H. Bruce Humberstone September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.91
1937's "Charlie Chan at the Opera" is a better than average episode in the long running Charlie Chan series. Warner Oland stars as the titular Honolulu Police Detective, with Keye Luke as Number One Son, while Boris Karloff has an outstanding guest role as an escaped mental patient now haunting an opera house in the manner of "The Phantom of the Opera." The story opens with Karloff's escape from a mental institution, then presents a murder at an Opera House to draw in Charlie Chan. Chan is his usual inscrutable self in his police work, with veteran character actor William Demarest (Uncle Charlie of "My Three Sons") as his none-too-bright foil on the local police force. The plot itself is filled with the usual collection of suspects and more than the usual number of red herrings; only the most attentive ... Read More

6.Abbott & Costello: Meet Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde / Mov starring: Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Boris Karloff, Craig Stevens, Helen Westcott directed by: Charles Lamont March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.23
The film opens in early 20th century London. A cloaked figure attacks and kills a person walking on the sidewalk. Another unsolved murder. Women are demonstrating for the vote - they put on a song and dance for equal rights! There is a protest from onlookers and comic violence. Bruce Adams is the reporter who covers this happening. Tubby and Slim are employed as Bobbies to study police methods. Dr. Jekyll is studying the human mind so as to control mankind for its betterment. Does he have a secret in his basement? Is there a serum that brings out the bestial nature of mankind? [Was this story a parable for alcohol prohibition?] Tubby and Slim see someone climbing up the side of a theater; they think it is a burglar. Tubby searches for the burglar and sees the monster. There is a comic chase, but the monster escapes ... Read More

7.The Mummy starring: Boris Karloff, Zita Johann, David Manners, Arthur Byron, Edward Van Sloan directed by: Karl Freund May 04, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.75
Ah, "The Mummy" on Halloween night! What could be better? My brother and I, now aging boomers, were allowed as children the special treat to stay up on Friday nights to watch Horror Theater (or whatever it was called) and scare ourselves silly. This was in the late '50's. "The Mummy" was a favorite, so when I found this VHS tape in the library, I took it home for Halloween. After a couple of hours of Trick or Treating, the three children were ready to go home. We put on the movie, expecting magic to revisit. Their grandfather (my brother) and I expected to pass on a tradition. We really thought the nine-year-old boy would delight in the movie. He loves things like this. However, it was too slow for him--he fell asleep soon into the movie, as did the other two children. That left my brother and me to stroll ... Read More

9.Unconquered starring: Ward Bond, Virginia Campbell, Gary Cooper, Howard Da Silva, Katherine DeMille March 28, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.80
An excellent movie with Gary Cooper and Paulette Goddard. Funny seeing Boris Karloff as the Seneca chief. After several years trying to find this movie on DVD, it was fantastic to finally find it in this format. A definite must-buy for lovers of American history.

10.The Raven starring: Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff, Hazel Court, Olive Sturgess directed by: Roger Corman September 16, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.02
Raving About Roger Corman's The Raven (1963) Every October my daughter and I pick up a few spooky movies to get into the Halloween groove. This year, I had the pleasure of introducing her to one of my all time favourite horror comedy classics, Director Roger Corman's "The Raven." The screenplay is adapted (VERY loosely) from the famous Edgar Allan Poe poem. This is one of Corman's many American International Picture adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe's works, and one of his best. As the king of "b" horror movies, Corman knew had to make the most out of a tight budget. His stylish films consistently used good source material, well written screenplays, lavish set designs, locations, props, costumes and great horror stars. "The Raven" boasts no less a cast than Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre, Jack Nicholson, ... Read More
