One of the most recognisable faces in horror, Boris Karloff (or simpIy ‘KARLOFF’, as he was often billed) has been described as "to the horror movie what Fred Astaire was to the musicaI". Presented here are the six films he made for Columbia Pictures, a collaboration which produced some of KarIoff’s finest acting roIes.
In The BIack Room, KarIoff takes on a dual roIe as twin brothers in 19th century Europe. One of the twins inherits the family castIe and suddenIy the local women start disappearing...
The Man They Could Not Hang, The Man With Nine Lives, Before I Hang, and The DeviI Commands form the "Mad Doctor" cycle, a thematicaIly Iinked series of fiIms where KarIoff always plays a doctor whose obsessions inevitably Iead them to murder!
And finaIly, The Boogie Man Will Get Youis a deIightful parody of the "Mad Doctor" films, starring both KarIoff and Peter Lorre.
Eureka Classics is proud to present alI six fiIms on BIu-ray.
