Boris Karloff day on TCM on Tuesday…

All day long, in horror of William Henry Pratt’s birthday. (All times CST)

6:00 AM The Lost Patrol / Karloff plays a solider in this fab war flick directed by John Ford.
7:15 The Walking Dead / Boris is reanimated after being wrongly executed, and decides to let bygones be bygones, or something like that.
8:30 West of Shanghai / Karloff is a Chinese villain, ala Fu Manchu.
9:45 You’ll Find Out / Karloff joins Bela Lugosi and Peter Lorre to comically menace Kay Keyser.
11:30 Island of the Dead / Neato Lewton movie set in Greece.
12:45 PM The Body Snatcher / Another of the Lewton’s, and one of the best.
2:00 Bedlam / Boris runs an insane asylum, and is a fair administrator who always puts his patients interests first, or something like that.
3:30 Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome / Silly fun with Karloff against the chinned detective.
4:45 The Terror Goofy / Corman creation with Karloff and Jack Nicholson.

  • The Rev.

    Oooo, there’s a couple there I haven’t seen yet. I hope I have room on the DVR…

    If anyone hasn’t seen The Walking Dead or The Body Snatcher, they really must rectify that immediately.

    “The Terror Goofy” wasn’t quite up to the level of “The Horror Mickey” in my estimation.

  • Then, sir, we will have to agree to disagree!
