Happy Birthday to Classic Movie Legend, Boris Karloff, born on November 23, 1887!
Horror Icon, Boris Karloff, played some of the best (and scariest) monsters, madmen and villains of all time! Of course there’s Frankenstein (aka ‘The Monster” or — as listed in the opening credits — simply “?”), the revived ancient Egyptian priest “Imhotep” in The Mummy, “Mord the Merciless” in Tower of London, the “murderous cabman” in The Body Snatcher, and so many more… But my favorite Karloff ‘villain’ — hands down is… The Grinch! Yes, that misguided, bitter, grouchy ‘creature’ with a heart “two sizes too small”…
