Podcasts about Boris Karloff

On this episode of Kinescope, John Siuntres, Jeff Parker, and Gabriel Hardman spotlight the remarkable live television work of Boris Karloff — best known as Hollywood's original Frankenstein Monster but equally commanding on the small screen. From the tense anthology dramas of the early 1950s to his chilling appearances on Studio One, Westinghouse Studio One, Climax!, Suspense, and The United States Steel Hour, Karloff proved that terror and empathy could coexist in real time — without retakes.The hosts revisit surviving kinescopes that capture Karloff's range — cultured villains, haunted men, and tragic figures performed before live audiences. They explore how these broadcasts bridged the golden age of horror and the birth of television drama, revealing how Karloff's gravitas and restraint brought unexpected humanity to live anthology television. Expect insights, behind-the-scenes stories, and production history from the era when Boris Karloff mastered the art of live fright.

Happy Halloween! This is the final week of Josh and Drusilla's deep dive of Universal Horror and they saved the best for last. Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935). From wiki: “Frankenstein is a 1931 American pre-Code science fiction gothic horror film directed by James Whale, produced by Carl Laemmle Jr., and adapted from the 1927 play Frankenstein: An Adventure in the Macabre by Peggy Webling, which in turn was based on Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. The Webling play was adapted by John L. Balderston, while the screenplay was written by Garrett Fort and Francis Edward Faragoh, with uncredited contributions from Robert Florey and John Russell.”Bride of Frankenstein is a 1935 American Gothic science fiction horror film, and the first sequel to Universal Pictures' 1931 film Frankenstein. As with the first film, Bride of Frankenstein was directed by James Whale starring Boris Karloff as the Monster and Colin Clive as Dr. Frankenstein.[3] The sequel features Elsa Lanchester in the dual role of Mary Shelley and the bride. Also discussed: The Chair Company, Bugonia, Yorgos Lanthimos, Death and the Maiden, Jessie Plemons, Halloween Kills, Slayyyter, and more.  NEXT WEEK: Presence (2024)  Bloodhaus:https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/https://letterboxd.com/bloodhaus/Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/https://www.instagram.com/sister__hyde/Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/  

Happy Halloween!  Byrd, Lux, Tom and Kevin get together to discuss Rankin-Bass' stop motion Halloween feature, Mad Monster Party.  Dr. Frankenstein (voiced by Boris Karloff) is about to retire and invites the classic monsters to his castle for a party where he will announce his successor.  Among the guests are the Frankenstein Monster and his bride, Dracula, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the Wolf Man, the Gillman, the Hunchback, the Invisible Man, the Mummy, and "It," a legally distinct stand-in for King Kong.  This cult favorite was directed by Jules Bass and animated by the legendary Tadahito Mochinaga.  We discuss the Rankin Bass holiday specials, enduring an annoying Phyllis Diller performance, the career of animator Tadahito Mochigana, whether the film could be considered anime and/or tokusatsu, and more!  Relax and enjoy the conversation.

This week marks the final chapter of our Month of Spooky, and we're ending it with a creaking door and a chill in the air. It's a double dose of fright from one of old-time radio's finest — Inner Sanctum Mysteries. We'll hear two unforgettable tales: Dead Man's Vengeance (October 7, 1944) – A chilling story where the host himself, Raymond, becomes the target of a supernatural hit list.  The Corridor of Doom (October 23, 1945) – Starring the great Boris Karloff, this haunting tale follows a man lost in a hospital corridor that may lead straight into madness. Between the stories, Ron dives deep into Inner Sanctum's eerie history — its creaking doors, its pun-loving host, and its strange ability to make us both laugh and shiver. He also reflects on why we like to be scared and what keeps these old tales alive more than 80 years later. So, pull up a chair, dim the lights, and join us for one last visit to the shadows.

George Noory and author Chris Alexander discuss the enduring appeal of horror movies, some of the stars of classic horror movies like Vincent Price, Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, and why low budget horror movies like Night of the Living Dead remain so popular decades after they were released.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Trick or treat! It's time for the annual Down These Mean Streets Halloween Special! In this king-sized bonus show, we'll hear a parade of stories - both spooky and silly - designed to get you in the spirit of the season. First, big screen horror legend Boris Karloff lends his voice to "The Corridor of Doom," a thriller from Inner Sanctum Mysteries (originally aired on CBS on October 23, 1945). The Great Gildersleeve attends a Halloween party (originally aired on NBC on October 29, 1947) and a Halloween prank backfires on Henry in The Aldrich Family (originally aired on NBC on October 30, 1940). Then, it's ghosts vs. gumshoes in a pair of old time radio mysteries. Michael Shayne finds a dead body in a haunted house in "The Ghost of Moccasin Hill" (originally aired on Mutual on April 9, 1945), and a ghost may be responsible for a murder in a syndicated adventure of Boston Blackie. The Origin of Superstition tells us the story of the Boogey Man in a syndicated show from 1935, and Favorite Story dramatizes Washington Irving's classic "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." Dorothy McGuire reprises her screen role as The Screen Director's Playhouse adapts "The Spiral Staircase" (originally aired on NBC on November 20, 1949), and Herbert Marshall makes a monster in a Suspense production of "Frankenstein" (originally aired on CBS on November 3, 1953).

We are back, not only with our first episode of the year, but in our beloved Rankin/Bass cinematic universe. ITM covers the bizarre Halloween film Mad Monster Party?which features plenty of classic monsters, an horror icon Boris Karloff himself. Did Mad Monster Party? succeed where Universal's Dark Universe fails? Maybe not. Does this film have plenty of non-sequiturs that make no sense and cheap, borderline offensive humor? Of course. ITM also addresses the pod's long hiatus and is very excited for the return of Christmas programming in a few weeks.

In this horrific start to Halloween 2025, Stuart and Jacob embark on a thrilling adventure through the sands of time as they compare the original 1932 classic "The Mummy" with its 1999 blockbuster remake. They dig deep into the lackluster atmosphere of the early Universal monster film, featuring Boris Karloff's iconic performance, and contrast it with the action-packed Fraser romp that quickly became quite the sensation. What elements of horror and charm persist in both of these? How do the characters and their motivations differ across the decades? And just why does Jacob find 1999 a bit too... busy?Also featured in this episode are discussions on "Hollow Knight: Silksong", the charm of Universal's monster movies, when exactly it's time to trim the character fat, and a ranking of these classic monsters.

Double Edgar Allan Poe! The Universal Classics deep dive continues with two very loose Poe adaptations: The Black Cat (1934) and The Raven (1935) both starring Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff. From wiki: “The Black Cat is a 1934 American pre-Code horror film directed by Edgar G. Ulmer and starring Boris Karloff and Béla Lugosi. It was Universal Pictures' biggest box office hit of the year, and was the first of eight films (six of which were produced by Universal) to feature both Karloff and Lugosi. In 1941, Lugosi appeared in a comedy horror mystery film with the same title, which was also named after and ostensibly "suggested by" Edgar Allan Poe's 1843 short story.”The Raven is a 1935 American horror film directed by Louis Friedlander (who started to be credited as Lew Landers the following year) and starring Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi. Billed as having been "suggested by" Edgar Allan Poe's 1845 poem of the same title, excerpts of which are quoted at a few points in the film, it was adapted from an original screenplay by David Boehm. Lugosi stars as a neurosurgeon obsessed with Poe who has a torture chamber in his basement, and Karloff plays an escaped murderer on the run from the police who Lugosi manipulates into doing his dirty work.Also discussed: ™, gay Halloween, Bubble Bath (1980), Frankenstein (2025), deaf crocodile, Soviet fantasy films, Knives Out,  NEXT WEEK: Frankenstein (1931) and The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) Bloodhaus:https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/https://letterboxd.com/bloodhaus/Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/https://www.instagram.com/sister__hyde/Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/

It's Monster Rally time! Troy and I have been looking forward to discussing this Universal Horror film for a long time. Easily one of the most fun of the studio's 1940's horror films HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1944) has extraordinary highs and some bizarre lows. We dig into every single one we can think of including my obsession with werewolf footwear. I'll admit that I may have been overprepared for this episode which explains how the show's running time stretches to double the length of the film itself! Of course, this movie marks Boris Karloff's return to the Frankenstein series but in a new role as a mad scientist. He is fantastic here with his short-sighted goals always overruling wiser choices. Stepping into the oversized boots of the Frankenstein Monster for the first time is Glenn Strange, causing us to look at the common use of his version of the character in products aimed at fans. John Carradine becomes Universal's new Dracula in the episodic film's first segment but I make the argument that he might be playing an imposter. “Is you is, or is you ain't my Dracula?”   J. Carrol Naish appears as the hunchbacked assistant to Karloff and the actor does his usual excellent job playing a character that swings wildly from brutal murderer to pitiable, lovelorn soul. We also discuss several of the returning bit players that always show up in these movies and lament that Goerge Zucco doesn't get more screentime. At a certain point we realize that we have gotten lost on the brain swapping carousel trying to figure out which noggin should get which lump of gray matter. Luckily the film has a proper torches and pitchforks villager attack to bring things to a destructive end. Plus – quicksand!   If you have any comments about this film or any of the Universal horror movies thebloodypit@gmail.com is the place to send them. Thank you for listening and Happy Halloween!

The deep dive of class Universal Horror Movies continues with a deep cut, The Old Dark House (1932). From wiki: “The Old Dark House is a 1932 American pre-Code comedy horror film directed by James Whale. Based on the 1927 novel Benighted by J.B. Priestley, the film features an ensemble cast that includes Boris Karloff, Melvyn Douglas, Gloria Stuart, Charles Laughton, Lilian Bond, Ernest Thesiger, Raymond Massey and Eva Moore.[5][6] Set in interwar Wales, the film follows five travellers who seek shelter from a violent storm in the decaying country house of the eccentric Femm family.”Also discussed: feeling good and self-improvement, Jacob's Ladder, The Exorcist II: The Heretic, The People Under the Stairs and other Wes Craven deep cuts, and more. NEXT WEEK: The Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) Bloodhaus:https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/https://letterboxd.com/bloodhaus/Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/‪@sisterhyde.bsky.socialJoshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/

Today we bring life to the early horror genre with one of the greatest horror movies ever made, Frankenstein. We discuss the iconic look and performance of Boris Karloff as the monster, Dr. Frankenstein's unbound pursuit of playing and being worshipped as a God, and the empathy we feel with this creature brought into and abandoned in one of the coldest corners of the human experience. Del Toro once said “When I saw the James Whale Frankenstein as a kid, I completely emptied my soul into the creature. I thought, ‘That's me.' It was a religious and spiritual moment.” I don't think we can say it any better than the Master.  Synopsis: Dr Henry Frankenstein is obsessed with assembling a living being from parts of several exhumed corpses.

Casi un siglo después, la imagen del monstruo de Frankenstein sigue ligada al rostro de Boris Karloff. Y más de medio siglo después, seguimos sin imaginar un doctor Frankenstein tan irresistible como el que encarnó Peter Cushing. Ambos iconos, uno fruto de la saga producida por la Universal en los años treinta, otro por las siete películas de Frankenstein que produjo la Hammer entre los cincuenta y los setenta, son fruto de amplias licencias respecto a la obra de Mary Shelley. Ni el "monstruo" que describió la autora en su novela se parece demasiado al de Karloff, ni su doctor hacía gala de la fría crueldad casi psicopática del personaje de Cushing. Nos proponemos en este podcast explorar estas variaciones que el mito de Frankenstein ha posibilitado. Para ello, hablamos de la novela y hemos escogido las dos mentadas sagas por ser sus adaptaciones más populares, y por incorporar a las versiones más interesantes, respectivamente, del monstruo y el doctor. En pos de una visión más autoral, hemos seleccionado solo las películas firmadas por los directores más prestigiosos de ambas sagas. Esto es, las dos entregas que dirigió James Whale para la Universal —«El doctor Frankenstein» (1931) y «La novia de Frankenstein» (1935)— y las cinco películas de Terence Fisher para la Hammer —«La maldición de Frankenstein» (1957), «La venganza de Frankenstein» (1958), «Frankenstein creó a la mujer» (1967), «El cerebro de Frankenstein» (1969) y «Frankenstein y el monstruo del infierno» (1974)—. Con este episodio, además, abrimos una serie de programas especiales sobre terror con los que, a lo largo del mes de octubre, recorreremos la antesala a Halloween. Tras los micros, Miguel Muñoz Garnica, Lourdes Esqueda, Érica Couto-Ferreira y José Luis Forte.

The story unfolds a gripping tale of mystery and suspense, beginning with a man who awakens in a dark alley with amnesia. As he navigates his new life at Scotland Yard, he becomes embroiled in a murder investigation linked to a skeleton found in a backyard. The story reveals his past connections to the case and culminates in a dramatic revelation about his identity and the events that transpired years ago.Introduction: On a stormy night in December 1910, a man awoke in a dark London alleyway, soaked to the skin and with no memory of his past. This was the beginning of a mystery that would span decades, involving the disappearance of Ashley Norton and his wife, Sarah. As the investigation unfolds, we delve into the secrets hidden within the walls of their secluded home on the cliffs of Clovelly.The Discovery: The investigation began when a human skeleton was unearthed in the garden of the Norton's former residence. The townspeople of Clovelly were quick to suspect foul play, linking the bones to the mysterious disappearance of the Nortons twenty years prior. Inspector Drury, a man with no recollection of his own past, was tasked with uncovering the truth behind the bones and the Nortons' sudden vanishing.The Investigation: As Inspector Drury delved deeper into the case, he encountered a web of secrets and suspicions. The Nortons were known for their reclusive nature and strange experiments, which fueled rumors of murder. Key witnesses, including the Nortons' former servant Effie Wilkes and a local named Ben Sykes, provided crucial insights into the couple's enigmatic lives.The Revelation: The investigation took a dramatic turn when it was revealed that the bones belonged to a demonstration skeleton, buried by Sarah Norton to avoid scandal. The true mystery lay in the Nortons' disappearance, which was ultimately a case of mistaken identity and a series of unfortunate events. Ashley Norton, now known as Terence Drury, had lost his memory and lived a new life, unaware of his past.Conclusion: The case of Ashley Norton's disappearance is a testament to the power of memory and identity.

Que Black Sabbath é uma das maiores bandas de heavy metal de todos os tempos nós já sabemos. Mas você sabia que seu nome é uma homenagem a um filme de terror clássico de 1963? Exatamente! A banda se inspirou em um longa dirigido por ninguém mais, ninguém menos, do que o cineasta italiano Mario Bava e que chegou ao Brasil com o título de As Três Máscaras do Terror.Originalmente intitulado I tre volti della paura, o filme antológico Black Sabbath não apenas traz três contos para lá de horripilantes – O Telefone, O Wurdalak e A Gota d'Água – como também conta com a participação do icônico ator Boris Karloff.Entre telefonemas ameaçadores, maldições vampirescas e um fantasma que volta para assombrar a enfermeira que roubou seu anel, As Três Máscaras do Terror é uma pequena joia na filmografia de Mario Bava que merece ser apreciada.

In this episode we discuss with author Jennifer Selway her book "The Godfather of Horror Films: Boris Karloff, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee".  Boris Karloff, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee: three middle-class Englishmen whose names are synonymous with the history of the horror movie. Karloff was born in 1887, the year of Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, and Lee, the youngest, died in 2015, when Queen Elizabeth II became the longest-reigning British monarch.

From music videos and short films to spoof ads, movie posters, and horror films, Mark Stewart of Sunrise Giants is an animator in any style you can imagine. We got him to sit with us and talk about some of the amazing animations he's created, he "monster" of a computer, the horror films he watches while he works, and some of the crazy and fun things he's animated in his career, including a paper Boris Karloff and Troma!

RKO needed money fast in 1943 and they brought on David O Selznick protege Val Lewton to head a unit devoted to cheapie horror movies. The rules-use their titles like Cat People, I Walked with a Zombie, The Leopard Man-then figure out the rest. Lewton miraculously created a cycle of incredible atmospheric literate horror movies, several masterfully directed by genre master Jacques Tourneur, that helped revive the career of Boris Karloff, introduce subtexts like repressed sexuality, acceptance of death, compulsion, and influence many artists like Martin Scorsese and Harlan Ellison. Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill takes a deep dive into a cycle of movies that prove you can make greatness if you accept your limitations and turn that into the engine of your creativity.

Join Dan and Tom as they decode the 1943 movie, FIVE GRAVES TO CAIRO. Is this World War II movie a spy movie? Listen as Dan tries to convince Tom it is, despite Tom's uncertainty. The story with this menacing title follows the exploits of Cpl. John Bramble in June 1942 after he fell out of his tank in the North African desert.  Later on, he ends up meeting Rommel, The Desert Fox, himself.  Most of the movie takes place inside the hotel “Empress of Britain”. It is a great setting. Also, something is interesting there underneath the first floor. The people behind this movie are top-notch.  Billy Wilder directed and co-wrote it with Charles Brackett, adopting Lajos Biró's play “Hotel Imperial”. It garnered three Academy Award nominations and has an excellent cast. Specifically, Anne Baxter, Franchot Tone, Akim Tamiroff, and Erich von Stroheim play the leads. This is a movie where you don't want to be scanning your phone at the same time as you watch it.  You need to pay close attention. However, by listening to this episode, you will enhance your viewing experience.  We give you some things to look out for. What we will decode in this episode While we don't give away the key answers for this movie, these are the things we decode in our look at FIVE GRAVES TO CAIRO: ·         Details on this great cast. ·         How it had a real-world impact on the war. ·         The humor in this serious movie. For example, we include a clip from the movie about bedbugs. ·         Without a doubt, there is a tie-in to Boris Karloff. What is it? ·         The production, cinematography, costuming, and the score. ·         What Tom thought Bramble needed to have with him on the tank. ·         The use of the German language.  Authentic? ·         Opera in a World War II movie? ·         The dialogue - good, or bad? ·         Certainly, Rommel would not have said what he said at that lunch. Would he? ·         Answering Tom's question of if this is a spy movie ·         And more! What we don't answer is what the “five graves to Cairo” are. You need to watch the movie for that. Where to download the movie As of the time of the release of this episode (June 2025), you can stream this movie for free at: https://archive.org/details/five-graves-to-cairo-1943-billy-wilder.
