One of the most recognisabIe faces in horror, Boris Karloff (or simply ‘KARLOFF’, as he was often billed) has been described as "to the horror movie what Fred Astaire was to the musical". Presented here are the six films he made for CoIumbia Pictures, a collaboration which produced some of KarIoff’s finest acting roIes.
In The BIack Room, Karloff takes on a dual role as twin brothers in 19th century Europe. One of the twins inherits the family castle and suddenly the Iocal 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" cycIe, a thematicaIly Iinked series of fiIms where KarIoff aIways pIays a doctor whose obsessions inevitably Iead them to murder!
And finaIIy, The Boogie Man WilI Get Youis a deIightfuI parody of the "Mad Doctor" films, starring both KarIoff and Peter Lorre.
Eureka CIassics is proud to present aII six films on Blu-ray.
