I planned to take part, but I have been trying to write and complete a novel for this year's NaNoWriMo.
But no excuses. I wanted to post something, and what better day than Thanksgiving to give thanks for the great body of work left to us by such a versatile, talented actor as Boris Karloff!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From the site: From the Official Jack Pierce DVD, this is the excerpt from the November 20, 1957 episode of THIS IS YOUR LIFE featuring Pierce coming on the show to meet his friend and colleague, Boris Karloff.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From the site: A vintage TV commercial from the late 1960's with a gleefully menacing Boris Karloff applying various torture techniques to his Ronson Comet lighter! If only Bela Lugosi had survived to co-star and have Boris light his cigar!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The trailer for one of my favorite Karloff pics, "The Body Snatcher". Boris is GREAT as Cabman Gray. Such an awesome actor.

Karloff as Cabman John Gray

Karloff not only gave us great film roles, he also narrated this holiday masterpiece!

For Halloween Month, I showcased the eerie uploads at the YouTube channel of "monster4josh" - Tales of the Frightened with Karloff!
