Boris Karloff

In honour of the Boris Karloff blogathon which will celebrate across the blogosphere what would have been Karloff the Uncanny's 122nd birthday.

Details of the project can be found at Frankensteinia: The Frankenstein Blog, run out of Quebec by Pierre Fournier.

Boris Karloff was the most versatile of the great stars of classic horror, always working and never disappointing even when the films he appeared in sometimes did. Fournier's project to recognise his life and work with a loud and widely heard voice is a fascinating one and as I have a stack of Karloff as yet unwatched I'll chime in with a few new Karloff reviews during the 23rd to 29th November period.

To whet your appetite here are links to what's already here at Apocalypse Later marked with a big ? for Uncanny, with some older reviews from my far less substantial blog at Hal and Dee at the Movies and links to the IMDb pages for each film.
