Ah yes..."the rave''...a good one for sure.


Bride of Frankenstein (1935), easily.

Assuming that the Frankenstein movies are a given, I say The Body Snatacher (1945) has got to be one of his best. Cabman Grey is just a damn cool character, gives Karloff the perfect chance to show off his vilanous chops.

Ive yet to see any of Karloff's other Lewton movies, but if they're anywhere near as good as Body Snatcher Im really missing out.

Yeah, you need to collect the whole bunch, my friend.

Isle of the Dead is fucking supreme. Chilling ending.

That's the one. Not to be confused with the one where bodies are stolen in order to create Boris Karloff.

Yeah, I really do. Even though I already have a couple of the discs seperatly, I think I might just double dip and grab the boxset. Looks like the only way I'll be able to get the rest.
